on a side note i just have to share. none of you probably know what i do for a living but im an air traffic controller. well tonight i just finished my 2 1/2 year training program and am now a professional controller. the journey has been long and tough and at times a real bitch. im so freaking excited and stoked i cant sleep. im normally in bed sleeping like a baby by an hour ago. gotta love adrenaline! im so relieved though. i would rather bear hug a cactus than go through that again. if any of you have ever seen pushing tin with john cusack and billy bob thornton they nailed the personalities right on the head. there is nobody that will give you a harder time than a coworker and there is nobody that will have your back in a heartbeat than those same guys that put you through hell while you were training. im glad its done. now we get to party.............

Evening Big J!




So I just had to run to the store for Troy real quick, he needed something sweet to take into work tonight and told me 30 mins ago that he needed. No big deal I get ready and run up to the grocery store a few miles down the road while he is getting ready for work. First they didn't have the right kind of Drumsticks that he wanted, I just got a different flavor since I'm not going to eat them. lol. I get up to pay and remember that my debit card is canceled, I have no cash on me, so I grab one of my credit cards. Well that wouldn't be a big deal if 2 of the cards in my wallet aren't expired. LOL. You can see how often I use them. I finally found one after that wasn't expired.

I hate when spouses don't tell you they need something until 30 mins before they need it....

Evening SBM (small but mighty)!! How are 'ya tonight? I hate that too. Of course, one that's equally good is the kids getting home from school and remembering that they left their homework in their desks at school. Drive back to the school as the custodian is locking up and beg an extra minute or two out of him, go to the classroom, and find that it's not there either. Go back home and find it in the bottom of the bookbag crumbled up under all of the other junk in there. Oh the joy of parenting...LOL
