Big wipe out on voting day

So yesterday was a voting day... I try to be well informed and vote so naturally yesterday the adults in my house voted.  It was also a free cone day at Dairy Queen and it is also the day I found out I am still clumsy at age 40. I stepped wrong and down I went... I heard a snap crackle pop and thought for sure it's broken... I'm unsure if it is or isn't.  It did swell some the pain isn't intolerable though. It actually feels a lot better today. You would most defitely think that after 40 years I would pay attention to where I was stepping but nope I am still just as clumsy...  So I say this to you as a life lesson be careful where you walk it may look safe but each step can be dangerous if your not taking each one purposeful....

                   So I started this blog years ago in hopes of sharing my life with everyone and hopefully inspire people in hard times.  I must admit I got lazy. Now I'm hoping I can start all over again but this time be a little more dedicated. Life with 1 husband, 5 children, 1 grandchild, 3 dogs and a cat can be very busy but I need to make time for others. So I'll share what I have for today.
                   
Today is my V's birthday she turns 9. Daddy bought Dunkin Donuts  for her. (we usually don't buy donuts) This is a tradition he started a while back. I'm telling you the kids absolutely love it. Probably because of all the sugar but I'd like to think it's because the kids really like traditions. I believe traditions are important.  Especially when kids are little. They need memories. They need good memories. I believe you should eat healthy but splurging occsionally is ok and if it gives them a wonderful memory of their father, then we're all for it. I want their dad to be in their memories always as a fun loving and caring person. I'm sure your asking well how does their dad getting donuts make him that. Well they know that their dad works at least a 12 hr shift every night. Gets home super early and drives a half  hr. home then drove extra in the opposite direction to get donuts for each birthday. V has had this as far back as she can remember. I believe it's the little things in life that will leave them with some of their greatest memories.

I'm trying to let the kids sleep in a little but these dogs are driving me crazy. I took them out, fed them, and now they have to jump around playing, barking, and bighting. Why I ever decided to get another puppy I'll never understand....   Anyway I think thats all for today... Remember make each day count for those in your life you love. You never know when it will be their last...



God Bless
