Late night

MAN is it quiet! Do you know what it's like to go from 5 kids to 2? It's weird. They pick up their toys. They sit when I tell them to. We can drive in the JEEP and fit everyone in!!! We can go to McDonalds for for like... $8 not $28 LOL

I had a dream last night that I was at my old friend Mike D's house. I was picking Bradford pear trees from out of his yard. His wife gave me tupperware to keep them in until I could get home. I remember thinking in my dream how heavy Mike had gotten and hadn't even realized it. LOL I know if it were a real world scenario that I'm good enough friends with Mike to say.. "hey-- You are um, gaining a little dontcha think? :)" Sometimes I miss that. Just the friendship. He was always a good ear. It's not so bad here now that we're making more friends. It's starting to feel more homey. I"ve spent a lot of months since August in this house with 5 kids. My development is starting to feel like a neighborhood. We're getting to know our neighbors and everyone is settling in. We even drink wine with some neighbors, share dinner with another, our mower has become community property LOL

Charlie comes home tomorrow. The kids will enjoy that. I think we're going to South of the Border to get some fireworks. That should be fun. I can't wait. I really hate the 4th of July though. ......

4th of July 1995 is when John brought Krista to his grandparents house. That's when I found out about her anyhow. Gosh how different things would be if I would have just walked away. I'd only have Anthony with him. Now? We've got Anthony and the 3 amigos. Imagine that.

Well, I'm going to bed. I'm a little cranky tonight....
