I've decided I'm going to kidnap my husband one day this weekend and possibly go to a movie and dinner. It's been a while since the two of us had a date night and miss that.
Robert takes his driving test tomorrow with his classroom instructor and I am so nervous for him.
Dinner tonight is a beef roast, carrots, cheesey potatoes, and zucchini bread for dessert. Hopefully it will all taste great.
I have no plans this week. It feels so weird to me to not have a plan going into a new week. I usually have some sort of plan for something ...

Heat Wave
Thank god starting tomorrow it will be slightly cooler than what it has been! My poor husband works in a hot kitchen and I worry about him 24/7!!
I took a second exercise class at the gym today. It was ok and I surprised myself by sticking it out and not quitting! This class was more aerobic related and I am just not that coordinated to keep up. I felt like a big sloppy goon in there so I don't think I'll be taking that class again! All-in-all though, I'm glad I took it because how else will I know if I like that particular class or not :)
Trying to think of ideas for dinner tonight. I hate to turn my oven on so I'm thinking I need something I can cook on the stove. Ideas? Anyone? ....
Something is up with our bed sheets. The fitted sheet no longer stays fitted. I don't understand. The elastic is fine but yet it comes off daily and I spend most nights half on the mattress and half on the sheets. Very puzzling.
I can't believe it's almost July. Where oh where has this month gone??

Where to Begin?
Well it's 4am and I'm wide awake. Apparently I have no discipline to stay on any kind of normal schedule during summer break! So far this break I have yet to be productive really. This saddens me, although it has been relaxing.
Quick recap:
1. Robert got his permit and is driving
2. I hit a deer earlier in the month and now I have no AC in my mini-van and the hood is dented
3. We all went to the Melvin Price Lock and Dam and took a tour. It was pretty awesome and a fun family memory (see pic)
4. Am slowly getting on top of a few of our bills
5. Spent a day with Joey my niece and had a really fun time
6. Took my first yoga class at the gym
7. Am getting back on my medicines
8. Made fish two times for the family (I had corn dogs instead)
9. Am teaching Frankie to be a car rider and will probably regret it later(see pic)
10. Still working on David to get him to quit smoking

Monthly Celebrations
Who knew that every month there is something or someone to celebrate!
For me:
January - Of course, New Years Day. A new beginning, a day of looking back, looking forward ... it's a renewal of sorts.
February - 2 of my sister's birthday and my a nephew's birthday too! Plus there is Valentines Day!! It's more than just a celebration for young couples, it's a day for wives and husbands to remember the spark that initially brought them together!
March - my mom's birthday, the lady who brought me life!
April - my wedding anniversary and my dad's birthday
May - David and Nick's birthdays and Memorial Day (a day that brings more meaning to me each year I age and grow and reflect on our country and how we got here)
June - my birthday, my brother in laws birthdays, and SUMMER break
July - 4th of July!! A day that my family and I are learning to make our own. And Laura's birthday too, can't forget that one :)
August - 1st day of school
September - Robert, Joey, Johnny, and Frankie's birthdays
October - Fall. Enough said. But it's also another one of my sisters birthday
November - THANKSGIVING, the best holiday of them all!
December - A whole month full of anticipation for just one little day. The day is like a present all on it's own because you just don't know what it might be ...

Too Old For Cosmo
I turned 35 yesterday and I realized that I am too old for Cosmo. Here is why:
Articles:
Be a Lucky Bitch - first of all I am not a bitch and secondly I don't believe in true luck. I believe in creating your own luck.
Dirty Lying Brides - if you're lying and you're dirty, you should NOT be someones bride.
Host a Killer Cocktail Party - what is a cocktail? Chips and salsa are about as fancy as I get!
Quiz - Are you a Closet Commitment Phobe? - As much as I love magazine quizzes I have no need to take this one, I've been married for 16 years now, proof I am not afraid of commitment.
10 Things Guys Wish You Knew - I'm only concerned with one guy and if he hasn't told me what he wants me to know after 16 years then it probably isn't important!! :)
I could go on with more articles in the June issue but I think I've proven my point. When my subscription renewal comes up for this magazine I will not be sending a check or money order for 12 more magazines!
I'm going to stick to my Good Housekeeping, Family Circle, and Redbook!
I am 35 and proud of it.
