Happy For a Little "Normal"

Photobucket
This week Big Daddy has training for work so he has a "normal" schedule. He usually works 10pm-6am but this week he works 6am-2pm. I am so HAPPY that we are sleeping at night and working during the day.

I usually work and sleep when he works and sleeps but this will be changing NEXT week when school starts. So having this week to get on a "normal" schedule is awesome.

But having late afternoons and early evenings together is what really makes me HAPPY. I love love love love this schedule.

Big Daddy and J have their birthdays this week. Celebrating people I love makes me VERY HAPPY!

J has plans with friends. She is turning 17 y'all. SEVENTEEN! Can you believe that? It is kind of blowing my mind a little. I was a little sad when she didn't want to try and make plans to hang out with us. Then I was HAPPY she has friends who want to do something special with her. J doesn't really have people on "that side" of the family who help her foster friendships, so she has a hard time making and keeping friends. Knowing she has something she is looking forward to and won't just be "hanging out at home" is fantastic!

Big Daddy and I will be making our way to my in laws B&B for a few days...one of our HAPPY places for sure! We will spend some time in San Francisco...HAPPY.

AND

We are going to meet up with Crazymama and her Hubz who will be in San Francisco on business. I cannot wait to "meet" Crazymama. She is one of my very first readers when I started blogging waaaaaaaaaaay back in 2007 and I just love love love her! I am so HAPPY we are finally going to meet face to face and bask in each others FABULOUSness. Seriously, it is gonna be RAD!

Speaking of bloggy friends...we went and picked up some mail at our old house (Big Daddy's cousin is renting it now) and there was a birthday card in there that has been waiting for me since April. My sweet friend Aubrey from High-Heeled Love. What a fun surprise!! I sent her a note right away thanking her, she was probably wondering why I hadn't thanked her this whole time...embarrassing. Thanks Aubrey, Good Mail makes me VERY HAPPY!!

So HAPPY things going on now and HAPPY things to look forward to makes this weeks list very HAPPY!

REMINDER: This is the last week to enter my giveaway for a $50 Target Card! The winner will be selected and notified via email on Sept 1 (so make sure your email is enabled).

Morning! I've missed visiting you! Sure sounds like you have lots of wonderful things going on! I know what you mean about the whole turning 17 thing. My oldest girl will be 21 in Feb. and my youngest will turn "Sweet 16" in Oct. Why do kids have to grow up?

I can understand being on a "normal" schedule would be so awesome and make me happy as well, my husband works night shift and it sucks. I'd give anything for him to be home at night!! It's only for a little while, but still. So happy for you guys! So happy!

Wow 17!! Happy Birthday J!

That's cool getting to meet bloggy friends, maybe one day that will be me and the hubs visiting on business LOL.
Speaking of did you ever get together with MImImama or whatever this year? I don't remember reading about it but I know you guys were going to meet up this summer.

So many august birthdays! Makes me happy, too.
I miss Jordan. I hope she has a fun birthday, today. I know you guys would have made it incredible for her! That is great that she has good friends to celebrate with, though!

Come visit. Bring coco. Fonzo can come, too.

Yay for a good schedule- and good luck adjusting the the school schedule! :) I'm so glad J is learning how to make and keep friends. It's a tough thing, even if you're naturally outgoing, and one of the most important things to learn while you're in school. Happy birthday to her! :D
