Rainy Saturday...

This day was fun! The kids and I went to breakfast/brunch with some wonderful friends and then ended our early afternoon with a nap..All 4 of us on the couch for 2 hours! Ahhhh bliss! Then it was time to hit the mall, my twins Kellan and Scarlett are growing like weeds, well at least in the shoe department so I got a killer deal for all three at the Vans store. Violet got yellow sparkly vans, Kellan got old school velcro ones with red and blue and my Scarlett got butterfly glitter ones! Success!!! Then we walked around, I got some face stuff as sadly the Origins stuff does not seem to be doing the job anymore and then finally came home. My kids had baths, and we read and said our prayers and it was during our prayers that my beautiful trio fell asleep...All 3 of them scattered all over my lap, pure and utter BLISS. Lately I have been tested by God, or whatever a person chooses to believe in. I was told by my boss I wear my heart on my sleeve and my emotions on my chest. He did not mean it in a mean way, he simply hates that I get my feelings hurt a little too much. I am emotional, there I said it! I have had a heck of a 10 month period of time doing this alone and I am spent. Being a military spouse is tough stuff, add in working full time and 3 young kids who refuse to potty train by the way and it equates to a lot on one soul to handle. I have always been super emotional, super sensitive and despite even being in the Air Force and being yelled at it is the ones who I hold close that seem to hurt me more than those who I encounter only in minimum amounts. I am in a job I love, BUT I know moving in the next 4 months will happen so it is bitter sweet, I am still dealing with having alot of tummy stuff and this gluten free lifestyle is ANYTHING but easy. I am in a rut, I seem to eat salads and that is it, for all of you gltuen free types out there...HELP! :) Today I got to walk down memory lane with a dear friend, Kamra who was in basic training with me! I found my soulmate in Basic training in San Antonio Texas, a few moons ago! We were separated at birth I like to believe!!! We are both sarcastic to a fault, hilarious when put in a room together and we look very similar...That fateful day many years ago somehow we both ended up in band flight in basic training. I never played an instrument yet there I was on the most large bass drum one could imagine, all you could see where my arms and my feet! Haha! Kamra ended up on symbols and we were "Those girls" that everyone got irritated with! We laughed a little too much, were sarcastic a little too much and finally encountered some WEIRDOS and let them know it! She posted something on Facebook today about basic training and from then on we were on a roll! Hilarious and it had me screaming and laughing all afternoon! Much needed laughter, it does wonders for the soul, I always believe that. Even hours later I sit here laughing and giggling at all of our memories... I will close, I hope you all had a blessed Saturday, I know we did! Tomorrow we are headed to the zoo!!! Pictures to come, my kiddos love the zoo. :) ~Sarah
