I Just Got Done Folding The Laundry

Is it silly to say that I feel like taking a victory lap? I mean I would say yes, but I still really want to take that victory lap.

I do know that if my husband had folded the laundry, I would have been all, "What? You want a trophy or something?"

 But sure as heck, when he comes home from work tonight, looks around our messy house and asks, "What did you do today?" I'll puff my chest out, throw my hands on my hips and declare, "I folded the laundry!" like I was announcing that I found the cure for cancer. Then I would expect applause or something equally gratifying, like his standard response, "Wow, you're wonderful."
Oh wow!! I just had an epiphany. When my husband helps around the house and wants major praise, I should give it to him, because I expect the same thing! Whoa......I did not expect this post to take this kind of turn.

Neat, blogging totally "marriage counseled" me today. I should do this more often.

I'm Totally Going to Get in Trouble for This

But, I don't care! Because it's so funny!

If you have met my husband, than you know he is about the coolest person you have ever met.  You see, I can prove this coolness. Someone who knew my husband "back in the day" posted this photo on facebook, and of course I stole it (Ha,ha!). I'm guessing it was taken between '90 and '92 sometime, that would make him 16, 17 or 18.

Now, I know what you are thinking, that this is just some stupid photo of my husband chasing a girl. But I say, forget about the girl already, and let's take a closer look at him.

Isn't he the dreamiest?

He is totally my density.

(He just didn't know it yet.)

First Day of School, 2010-2011

Did anybody else recite this to their kids when they woke them up this morning?

I did. This what he looked like after I did it:

"Good morning, Sunshine!"

Here they are, waiting on the bus.

And then they were gone and I wasn't quite sure what to do with myself. I wasn't expecting that.

But then they came back, so it was okay.

(My kids are awesome 'cause they ride the short bus.)

Keep Your Eye On the Sky

(This isn't gonna be the most exciting post, just wanted to post something, so here it is.)

In my little town are two airports. One is a little bigger and accommodates private jets and also has a military hanger. The other is a municipal airport and serves mostly hobby fliers. It just so happens that we live under the flight path of both airports. We see lots of stuff fly over, some more noisy than others.

Military. They were hauling something that day, you see that long pole attached to the side? These helicopters are by far the noisiest that fly over.

There was a Hot Air Balloon festival in town over Memorial Day Weekend, I didn't get to go, but they came to me so it was okay.

I assume this is military also, I have no idea what it is.

This guy flies over our house often. Mostly on Saturdays.

When the Stealth bombers were stationed at Whitman Air force base in Missouri, we would see them fly over all the time, also. We see lots of old war planes from World War One and Two as one of the airports hosts a fly in every year. I guess some might consider all the noise a nuisance, but I like to hear the rumble and run outside to see what is flying over today. It's fun.
