It's that time of the year.

So I haven't been on here for sometime for many good reasons. The most important, I forgot what email I used. Then I had a nice little virus that removed one piece of registry from my system causing, you guessed it..the blue screen of annoyance! I had to reinstall just about everything, and yet I didn't lose any of my programs. I'm still trying to figure that one out. But most importantly of all, it's FALL!!!! Yeah!!! Cooler weather, unless you live here in Florida, where it's been in the high 80's. What I wouldn't give for it to be just a smidge cooler. Not much, just a degree or two. Cool enough I can open my windows and tell FPL to shove it.
I had an interesting summer. Spent most of my time "annoying" my in-laws and "abusing"their pool. It was great. This was also a summer of milestones for me. My youngest stopped wearing diapers, pull-ups, and swimmy pants! Both of my daughters stopped swimming with arm swimmies, that was the best part. Only problem is now they want to still be in the pool, and they have an obsession with doing belly flops. It's amazing how in one summer my kids went from toddler and little girl, to little girl and big girl. How the time does fly. Now this is not to say they still don't drive me insane, because I still have one home during the day, and she more then makes up for the boy and princess being at school. I really don't see how it's possible for a three year old to do the things she does, but hey, she's nana-bean, we don't understand a good 75% of what she does.
Now that we are well into fall, my thoughts are turning to first, my birthday. 32. I have no problems with my age, I hated my 20's, so every year people pull the whole, "Oh 29 again huh?" I say "NO!" 28-29 were two of the worst years of my life, and I have no intention of ever revisting them, thank you very much! I also have one more milestone left for this year. The boy is getting his black belt in Tae Kwon Do in two weeks. I'm so proud of him, I can't wait.
Now that things are back in working order, more or less, I'll be here more, posting away.
Be back here soon, I'm going to discuss things husbands should not do to their wives if they want to go on "living"

Stress...and other things

My ever so wonderful husband, who today is referred to as "the man who must talk before I go to sleep" or tmwmtbigts....or that man.....has this habit, just about every night as I'm falling asleep, he insists are talking. Now I know most women would love to have their spouse talk to them, but these are not normal conversations. Every time he does this, I end up staying up for hours as my head tries to grasp at what he's getting at and he is snoring away. That man has a new way to give me an ulcer at least once a week. In most recent weeks it's been him telling me they are getting ready to do layoffs at work, but he's not one of them. His back or knee is really hurting, but not enough for him to ease up at Tae Kwon Do, or last night, my favorite so far, the fact he can't remember a girl from HS that he gave his picture to. I have actually asked that man to write me a list of things that are wrong with him, I've been waiting 3 years and still no list. Now, I do admit, that man has a horrible memory....to an extent. He is only 32, but he has the memory of someone in their 50's let say, it drives me crazy. Now if it was just simple little things he forgot he wouldn't be all that upset, but it's a great deal of his life that he has issues remembering, and yet he does remember to almost great detail other women he was with before me. This is where him driving me crazy comes in. He actually apologizes, and says he doesn't want to make me upset, but it bothers him that he can't remember some things. I just wish he would shut up and not say anything. I have had enough of a rough year with out him adding more to my plate, but that is for another time, I just really needed to vent.

Hurricane season

Ahhhhhhhh, it be the 1st of June here in Florida, well yeah in the rest of the country too, but it is the marking of HURRICANE SEASON! (yeah) All this really means is that for the next several weeks, until the end of November actually, we here in the "Sunshine" State will be inundated by preparedness seminars, and Hurricane supply discounts, and storm shutter commercials, that really don't do you any good now because when you call for them for even an estimate you are on a 3 month waiting list. Honestly, I love this time of year. Thunderstorms almost daily, the number of hurricanes changes weekly, so your threat level really depends on the mood of the people at NOAH, and time for the almost daily testing of the tornado sirens, oh joy! Bring on the motrin now, hurricane season is here.......wake me up in November.

A little introduction

Over the years I have very easily been able to inspire others to do pretty much anything, but as I sit here at my keyboard, I have very little inspiration for myself. Here goes nothing.....
My name is Shannon, I am a mom to three interesting children, I have been married now to the same man for the past 12 years, and I live in a part of the country that, unless you live here, it is called paradise by most, also known as Florida. I have decided to give blogging a try since I am a stay at home mom, and sometimes you just get that wild urge to start typing....okay maybe not a wild urge, but you know what I mean. This is just a little part of me, and I hope to reveal some more one step at a time.
