Take That Computers!

I sent Husband off to the cities a week ago with my laptop, thinking that I wouldn't miss it, and the break would give me time to get things done around the house that I have been neglecting. Well, the second part is true. The first? Kind of not true...
I have been craving a blog moment. I haven't written in awhile and even though I don't have much to say that is classified as uber important, I definitely miss saying it. And so I downloaded the special blogger app, because the twit site wouldn't let me blog from it, and here I am    : )
One week into Husband being gone and so far, it's been fine. We talk twice a day, not very long because neither of us like talking on the phone, but we accomplish the daily catching up. The kids are doing good, they are used to daddy being gone so it doesn't affect them terribly. I don't know if that's actually a good thing or bad...At the end of this week, I've decided to visit him for a few days though. It's Bug's birthday so we will be visiting the greatest mall ever: Mall Of America. Doing the theme park inside, visiting the aquarium, eating at Bubba Gump's and the Rainforest Cafe, and doing some shopping and building of a few bears fir some birthday kidlets   : )  My SIL and her son are joining us so it is looking like a very fun weekend.
One of my favorite shows started up last night, Sister Wives. I like different and this definitely is. I am the most open minded person I know. And that is one quality (probably the only one!) that I give credit to my mother for. Love everyone and respect whatever they do, and whoever they are, no matter what. I guess growing up as a child of a lesbian helped teach that too. I learned to fight because people bullied me. I learned to be mean, sarcastic and to push people away, so they couldn't hurt me. I paid a big price for my mother's life decisions and never fully understood why. But I accepted it. And learned to never judge or discriminate. Once you've been on the wrong side of that, trust me, you will learn fast.
My fascination with the Brown's is more of amazement and sympathy. These people face judgement, discrimination, fear, and yet hold together with love and their faith. Just because other people may not believe it's right according to their beliefs, doesn't give them the right to judge others or tell them it's wrong. That's unfair and wrong. Only God can judge and until that time, let people be and just love them and be their friend. One favorite fact of that family is to look at one man is married to four women and for long periods of time for three of them, yet over half the population of the US has been divorced how many times? If I wasn't such a jealous person I'd think a second wife for the husband would rock. Free babysitter, babies that I could give back and loads of help with housecleaning! lol joking, joking.
Another show I'm enjoying is of course Survivor. I adore reality shows and this has been a favorite for many years. And Ozzy being on it again doesn't hurt either  ; )
My Bug is doing well at school so far. She never has difficulty and every so often I get to go sub and spend a day with her and the rest of the class, which is loads of fun. She also started Awana and does awesome with it. Last year she got every patch, completed her book and even got perfect attendance twice. This year will more than likely be the same. I firmly believe that if you are going to do something, do it to the best of your ability or don't bother at all. And she sticks to this thankfully.
Bean is...Bean. Playing and being a boy. Cute as ever but curious as a cat! How pathetic is it that I call this two year old to kill a spider or bug for me when I'm trapped in the bathroom? LoL. He's my mini hero, what can I say  : )
Well, this is where I must end things. It's time to start showers, verse memorizing, bedtime readings, prayers, a load of laundry and then an hour of glorious me time, where I turn off my TV and my phone and read and do my devotionals. It boosts my mood so much! So bloggy friends, have a wonderful night  as well and I will be posting my next blog during our Minneapolis adventure! Until then, toodles!
