Late!

I think that sign above is one of the most relevant signs to everyone. At my ripe age of 35 years old.. I am more comfortable in my skin than I ever have been. And I am where I am today because of all MY decisions. Not all good ones either but still.. my decisions. I don't let anyone speak for me.. and most of my decisions are my decisions alone. Husby chimes in from time to time but he doesn't force me to his way of thinking. Our lives belong to each and everyone of us and we all have control over what we want to do with our lives. Its ok to take some direction from others but you should always dance to your own tune!

Anyway..

Our night was pretty simple around here. I fixed a really simple and easy dinner.

I went for a super easy dinner tonight. See how easy!

I just cooked it all up.. diced up some tomatoes and lettuce and put it out on the cutting board..

and the guys served themselves.

And both guys love this dinner. The loved the ranch instead of taco sauce.

I am surprised my box dinner was a hit but it was!

Then of course, we watched American Idol.. Hollywood week was great.. I can't wait for it to get more serious. I like when they really really start ♪ singing ♪ !!

The guys passed out early and I was alone watching Dog the Bounty Hunter. I don't know what it is about that show that I like so much.. but I love it! I like Beth. She tough, speaks her mind and is madly in love with her husband.. and that reminds me of myself.

Anyway.. that was our pretty simple Wednesday night. I didn't want to cook at all. If I could have gotten husby to take me out.. I sure would have! But he was tired and just wanted to stay in. I understand that because he worked a lot today but tomorrow he will work even longer. His work ethic is beyond amazing. That man loves his work and puts in all his effort in doing a good a job and supporting his family. The shake up at the dealership where his boss and another were fired was hard on him to go through.. but look at who they kept. He is still there.. working hard and doing a really good job. He makes so proud. My work ethic is not near as good as his. I did work hard at various jobs I have had but nothing like his. He is one of the major reasons I live such a blessed life.. my mom helps with that too. =) And I also have 2 of the most beautiful kids ever. Jackson got into trouble tonight and I was furious with my ex husband but this time.. I didn't call him flipping out. Instead I talked with Jackson on how to handle the situation better and also explained that when his father is in one of his moods.. its best to just avoid him. Divorce is a terrible thing. I don't agree with him one bit on some of the things he does with the kids but I can't stop it. So its best to just try to adjust to the situation. Plus I am sending my baby a big box soon that will take care of why he got into trouble. There are more ways than one to skin a cat.. or a ex husband!

Ohhh..I have started adding my website to the pictures. I HATE taking the time to do it but I have a new online system that tells me when something is copied and pasted and how often my links are copied and pasted. Its wild at how many post have been a copied. I normally don't care. I know a lot of bloggers out there really take it serious. I just don't have the time or energy to fight with people for " stealing" something from this blog. I don't mind. I would like a link back but that doesn't always happen. Since pictures are the main thing that is getting copied.. I am trying to put my website on most of them. It just takes longer to edit them all. But I guess its the right thing to do that way I get the credit even if it is copied. If you try to copy something you will see a - read more link - that comes with anything copied.. but I am trying to mark my pictures now. We will see how long I keep that up. I hate doing it, but that's the reason. If you blog and want the information about how to get this free web tool.. just shoot me an email and I will give you all the information.

My mom came up with an idea tonight.. more like an experiment. She thinks that if I put Gabby out in a cage outside that my lost Giovanni will come back home. She thinks since Gabby is in heat that Giovanni will smell that and come racing to her. Mind you my lost Giovanni is about 2 miles away.. well at his last sighting he was about 2 miles from our house. So I have my doubts but she just called me and read me something that said male cats will travel up to 6 miles for a female cat in heat.. so guess what? I am putting her butt out in her cage on the porch while I am home. We will see. Fingers crossed that mom's idea will work! I am also making more signs to post around the area of his last sighting over the weekend. I don't know how well the experiment will be but its a good idea to say the least.

Well its 3 am here and I need to get some sleep. Tomorrow I plan on more housework. I want to get this place shinny and clean before we leave on our trip. I just hope Michael keeps it that way when we are gone. Once we get back from that trip I am going to work really really hard at getting rid of the clutter and making things a little more simple around here. I have so much kitchen stuff that its hard to store it all. I want to make better use of the space we have. But tomorrow, its just house cleaning day.. I have 3 full bathrooms to clean and those alone will take over an hour of my time to do. My bathtub alone takes forever to clean. But I am sure by this time tomorrow night I will be happy with the house!

Hope you have a great Thursday!
