Ok, I am going to preface this post by saying that, I have the utmost respect for the families that serve in the armed forces. My husband actually served for four years, many many years before he and I met but I am proud that he did.
For any family that their spouse works in construction you will understand this post and feel my pain. I have always said being a Construction wife is like being an army wife without some of the benefits. We do not have a support system like a base does, but our family is torn apart constantly. Our hubbys are not taken away for long lengths of time, but a week at a time and then back again and then gone again, it is a vicious cycle. Having Daddy home all week one week then gone Monday thru Friday the next is sooooo hard on a family who lives for a routine. Mommy is and always will be the only steady parent in this house. I love that my husband has a job and a paycheck, but I wish for more time with him.
I have felt this pain more over the last two years since we had our third child, and all of a sudden I am out numbered three to one. Missing having a second person in my corner every night at the witching hour before bed is my hardest part. I miss having someone to talk to after they go to bed instead of cleaning till I fall down because its the only time I have five minutes to myself. Locking myself in the bathroom to make a phone call in peace and then coming out not even two minutes later to find a beautiful mural on my wall from my almost two year old.
My life is full of blessings and I know that Heavenly Father would not hand anything to me if I couldn't handle it but still i am allowed to whine a little right?!?

A Made Over Procastinator
I know I have been a terrible blogger but I have decided the new non procrastinator me will be blogging more often. Feeling as though, I am writing my mundane every day junk is behind me because I feel like my life is flying past me. Looking at my kids every day I think how did they get so big and how is it going sooooo fast!
So the blogging position in my mind has changed, I am blogging for me now(and anyone that wants to ride along with me!) I want to remember everything I can about my crazy, amazing and loving kids! Maybe so on those really hard days I can look back and say awww they are cute and not want to cry myself to sleep.
So here we go, I am going to be a better BLOGGER! that was my self affirmation!

Sooo far behind...
So, sitting back and thinking today how much of our lives that I do not document and I am going to try to do so much better. Today was just an ordinary day in our lives, and I love those ordinary days. I love that I can count on them and that I can know that those days I dont want to cry by the end of it. I love my life and I love all of the craziness in it, but as any mom know there are days I so don't want to get myself out of bed. But here is the quote I have found that gets me out of bed on those days.
" To love someone deeply gives you strength.
Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage." - Laz Tou
Loving my family gives me strength. Them loving me so unending gives me courage to drag my tired self out of that bed when one or three kids are screaming for me!
Bring on the next day of waking up to my courageous beginning!

Mason's ear surgery
In the middle of August, we had tubes put into Mason's ears. For the last couple of years he has had chronic ear infections and we waited a year in hopes that it would improve. When he came dome with 6 infections in 6 months we agreef that it was time to take some action.
On the day of the surgery he was not allowed to eat or drink from 7 am to 1 in the afternoon which was really not fun. We got him up early and took him out for a donut so he would eat.Then at noon we went and picked up daddy from work and went over to the surgery center. The surgery took all of about 20 minutes it made for a very long day. Mason was super brave and hopeully as the fall and winter comes we will see that we made the right decision.

Best So Far....
I sit here at my computer, fresh from yelling at Cheyenne and Mason for about the 80th time since we woke up and thinking annnn Awesome Baby Maverick is. Not only would he have let me sleep in till 9 if he was an only child. But how amazing I find it that he is still fast asleep not 15 feet from where I am loudly yelling at my other two. He is only up once a night to eat and that is by far better than either of the other two ever were and are still up at night. I think Heavenly Father knew I had my hands full and gave me the blessing of an amazing baby! Love you Maverick Bruin
