5 Question Friday

Firsts a reminder of this cool give away I am doing. I am so excited to offer this book.


1. Do you have a go to song that always puts you in a good mood? Lord I lift your name on high, any praise music. Right now it is ABC’s and twinkle because there is a special 18 month old who sings along with me. Every day he adds more and more to his song.

2. Are you a real Christmas tree kinda person or do you go with a real fake one? Every now and then I think a real one is pretty but would never want the work so I always go back to our faithful fake one.

3. What are you thankful for? The list could go on for pages:
1. for my God who gave me life and eternity
2. for my family who puts up with me no matter what
3. for my children who make me smile and laugh and cry every day
4. for my husband who is the love of my life.

4. Which fashion fad from the past do you wish you could wear today? Banana clips, I saw someone wearing one the other day and thought oh PLEASE come back, you know because I love how it pulls all your hair out and how lazier I become about doing my hair.

5. Do you wait until the "low fuel" light comes on before you fill up the gas tank? I have run out of gas before. I accidently wait until the light comes on lots of time. But now that we pay for EVERYTHING with cash I get gas more often because I take advantage of having my teenager or husband with me. I love that we are only using cash but I really do not want to lug 5 little kids into the store to pay for gas.

Piper Reed give away

I was recently asked if I would do a book review for a book about a little girl whose father was in the Navy. The book is called Piper Reed Navy Brat. Instantly was in love. Navy Brat made me giggle because I have lots of little Army brats running around my house.
I was so excited when the book came in. I had decided that it would be a book for my eleven year old to read. The first night I put 5 kids in bed and Faith and I snuggled up on the couch and read the first 10 pages. I pushed her off to bed and set and continued to read.
This is an amazing book. Amazing because Piper Reed one reminds me of my own girls, and two because in the book the family finds out that they are moving. They talk about visiting family during the move and how awkward some things are when visiting people you do not see often.
Oh how I want to set and tell you every detail of the book. I want to tell you what does with each child before he deploys and how he runs his house. But if I did tell you the whole story you would not be interested in the giveaway I am about to offer.
That is right I have been given not ONE but TWO books to give away. So from today until Tuesday November 22 you can enter to win a signed copy of this book. Even I did not get a signed copy. I think this book is a must for all of our military children. I cannot wait to get the rest of the serious.
The rules:
1. Tell me one thing that is hard about having a military child or 2 about moving with a child.
2. Follow me on facebook
3. Follow me on twitter
4. Leave any comment, one a day until Tuesday.

I am so excited for you because this truly I is a fun book. It is open to anyone not just military because it is a fun book to read.

Seriously

Seriously, my son is 15, when did that happened and where was I.
Seriously, why do I avoid wiping the walls down in my house even though I know every day I look at them I am disgusted.
Seriously, why does this puppy have to love me so much when she knows I did not want her?
Seriously, how much more are we going to spend at the vet in one month?
Seriously, I am done with my Christmas shopping and I could not be more excited. Now it is time to enjoy the holiday.
Seriously my mother in law is coming down next week and I cannot wait. I love how we set around and talk.
Seriously, I want to teach a class to young married women about how to love your mother in law. I wish I loved and understood her early in our marriage the way I do now.
Seriously, why did it take three attempts at opening a new savings account, DON’T YOU WANT OUR MONEY!
Seriously, we owe nothing on credit cards, this is not a brag this is a amazing statement that I need to remind myself of daily when we are in “want” of something.
Seriously, want to work on getting our other debt taken care of so we can scream “DEBT FREE”.
Seriously, I have had an upset stomach for 2.5 weeks, how is that possible and why. We thought it was stress but the stress is gone and it I am still not feeling well.
Seriously, I ordered my Christmas cards and cannot wait to get them mailed out before December first.

What makes you sad

What makes you sad? I am on facebook several times a day. I comment, I stalk, and I can admit it. Rarely do I ever copy something. I do not remember posting my bra color (should go make sure). I just do not do it because nothing really appeals to me. I do not think anything is wrong with it just nothing has spoken to me.
Well yesterday a friend posted this: WE'RE EXPECTING!! A little over 6 weeks already! MY WORD!!! I know it's crazy!!! I wasn't gonna say anything on here but I wanted my family to know the situation!!! I mean freaking 6 weeks... It's official!!! We're expecting Christmas just over six weeks!!!
I honestly thought it was cute. If you know me you know I have gone to great lengths to convince my mother that I am pregnant. I thinking having blessings is a wonderful thing and if I ever was to become pregnant again then I would shout it out from the roof tops. I would be thrilled beyond thrilled.
I was saddened when I woke up this morning by several e-mails from friends saying: I am so sorry, I have already started praying for this, Oh man, and I was worried. Most of the people on my facebook account know me well enough to know it was a joke. It is the private messages that got me.
So in case you ever wondered. I will be screaming and shouting and only have happy thoughts if I ever show up pregnant. Would it be hard right now Y-E-S. Would I be scared after our last pregnancy Y-E-S.? Would I maybe even worry I could not handle it y-e-s. But in the end children are blessings and not something I take lightly. I have too many friends who cannot have children for various reasons and I would never want to offend them.
Pamela-mom to many blessings
