Wednesday's Wrandom Wrambling

Another Wednesday, another wrambling post.  What happened to the days that I had a theme for every day of the week and never ran out of things to blog about?

Life is settling into a nice routine and lot's of predictability.  Momma likey.  Sissy likey.  Poppa likey.  The adult menchildren lik.... who am I kidding, they don't know the difference, they have their own lives. 

 As it should be.

Coming out of the funk. Re-prioritizing my life.  Letting things go, focusing more on others.  Cutting back on work for a little bit.  Gotta love the FMLA.  

 Made the decision today that I need to give up the shift at the temple.  As much as I love it, that particular calling is not designed for people who have small children in their care full time.  I was in the correct phase of life, but that changed Christmas Eve and so now, I will need to wait a little longer for my turn.  I am crying big tears about it, but I know that I can go back when my life circumstances change again.

My sweet mother stopped by yesterday afternoon with a beautiful card, and a bag of skittles.  I don't think she expected to catch me at home, but we had a nice long visit. Something we haven't done in a long time.  I think we both needed it.  She is leaving for Sweden in April with her husband to serve a mission.  I am going to miss them.

Need to start My Marine Monday's posts again.  Now that he is back in training, we'll have some interesting stuff to post.  Granted no letters, since we can talk via cell phone and skype on liberty weekends, but I am sure he is going to start giving us stories. I heard last night from his cute girlfriend that he was excited for the training this week. Something about grenades.......

My mini-cooper is not practical for a toddler.  I don't care.  I am keeping it.

I had lunch today with her, her and her.  I love them.  We have much in common and it was great to laugh, talk, a little crying (me) and some general girl talk. 

I had dinner with my Diva's last night.  There was some dancing, laughing, eating, meditating, and some general inappropriateness.  I could not have asked for more.  Where would I be without my besties?  We have been through hell and back together and I am loving the bond that just grows deeper and deeper.

Hoping we haven't scarred BL for life.  Nothing a little brain bleach won't clean up.

I think I am yet again, realizing the importance of true friendship.  The kind that is loyal, trusting, and sincere.  The kind that bands together in tough times and makes sure that your back is covered at all times.

I am amazed at the friends I have that fit in those categories, and some I haven't even met in real life yet.  They are you  - out there in the blog land.

I am trying to so hard to figure out how I can get a trip back east to hit Virginia, NY,  Mass, NC, SC - then south to Georgia, Texas, making my way back west to AZ, CA, WA and ID before circling back home.

Let's make that happen shall we?

And as a follow up question - is it wrong or crazy of me to want to keep making my BFF circle bigger and bigger and bigger?  There are some amazing women that have entered my life that I am ready to embrace - am I needy?  Am I just too social?  Am I effing crazy?

The Superbowl is Sunday.  I am cheering for the Steelers.  Don't ask me why - my reasoning is ridiculous, but it works for me.  I want a big bash, just don't want to host it.  Too lazy to put my house back together.  I guess we'll have 7 layer dip and lil smokies on our own here.  And that is SO okay with me.

And now because of the large dinner last night and the indulgent lunch today, I better get myself to bed so I can drag my butt back out of it a oh-dark-thirty for cycling.
