Family Bonding..

         "Find your tribe
          love them hard"

Holidays, Birthdays, random days, Sunday dinners.. Are my most favorite times, because they are spent with my family. I am such a quality time person and so is my husband. which is amazing because Family time is a big thing on my side. We have always been pretty close, and getting together on a weekend for a bbq is something we do often. One of the things i am most thankful for is the relationships i have in my family.. My Mom is my Ultimate Best friend, as well as my Aunts. i cant think of a time where we were not laughing our heads off about some random story or situation.. My Uncles (even though there are only a few) Obvi Girls rule the world.. They are pretty great too.
   My cousins, haha they are something else.. We have all had our share of drama with each other, some a little toooooo much (but no ones holding a grudge) haha.
                                                                  Seriously though!
Growing up, we spent just about every weekend at Grandmas, Summers,  our vacation spot was Grandmas. The most epic time of the summer is when our cousins from Ft.worth (glen rose) came down. All hell broke loose, from Mud fights to buns up to catching grandmas front yard on fire and pissing off my grandpa (lord rest his soul) Those summers were well spent with my family.. Till this day we literally die laughing at some of the most ridiculous things we did as kids... I just remember a family friend getting bit in the ass by my cousins dog and we all thought it was hilarious.. (it was far from that)  Oops!
  I think about us now, and we all are adults. Most of us have kids now, and our kids play together (some of them) like i said above some of us still hold grudges, so we don't see those kids much.. Our Grandma and Grandpa are gone now, and all we have are these stories and memories. I absolutely Love sharing them with my boys, they think its so cool that my grandma used to have a goat in her back yard. not like its an uncommon thing.. they actually think their grandma needs to get a goat now haha.
  My aunt and uncle took over My grandmothers house, shes been gone for a little while now. and since then we haven't spent much time there. but since My aunt and uncle have it now, they have done work to the house. it looks so great. so different, but it still feels like my grandparents house... Over the Memorial weekend, my Aunt and uncle had a BBQ there..and we all got to spend some time just hanging out at Grandmas house. This is why i am so thankful for the family that i have Quality time is a big thing for all of us.. "When you love what you have, you have everything you need"  and that for me is Family.. <3

How much is TOO much..

So in my family there are A LOT of Alcoholics, and sometimes its just too much for me..So what do you do about taking what those people say, while there in that state of mind, with a grain of salt? Because sometimes i just want to straight up sucker punch them in the face! Dont get me wrong now, im not opposed to drinking ..Having a drink with friends and family is fine with me, BUT drinking everyday to get drunk just doesn't cut it..And i hate the excuse, i work all week, im tired so i deserve a drink. okay yes it may be true you may work so hard you feel a drink will calm your nerves but seriously get drunk every time?!? Then i have those in the family that get drunk and... A. Talk a lot of crap about people non stop B.could care less what anyone is talking about and want the attention on themselves C.Repeat themselves over and over D.become very abusive to anyone an...

Can i get a snow day from this snow day...

Never fails, Texas weather always puts a damper in my plans. Tuesday called for dental appointments for the little ones (not in school) a dine in lunch date and maybe a trip to target.. after all 3 kids are a piece of cake VS 5 and why not take advantage. Buuuuuuut NO! Texas decided to shut down its entire system due to dangerous weather conditions.. It literally was like 70 degrees yesterday, my kids were playing outside in shorts. in shorts you guys!  BAM today its 25 degrees, sleet, snow and icy roads. Oy snow days are not for the weak. having to entertain 4 children who cant play outside alllllll day and throw in a 6 month old who is the sweetest cutest spoiled little thing who likes, scratch that DEMANDS to be carried all hours of the day. My older two who are in school kicked nap time to the curb once they started school for obvious reasons. So getting them to nap along with the younger siblings is like pulling teeth.. haha seriously!  Id like a snow day from this ...

"Thats just the way my family is"

    I'd like to begin with saying,                           "Don't let people treat you poorly because you love them".      In the past 7 years i have learned a lot about "Family dynamics" from merging my family with my husbands. It has been an interesting 7 years let me tell you.. Some things i have learned about peoples view on "family dynamics"  is they are not always the best thing AND i really believe people believe they are doing well when they treat someone the way they treat them.. With that being said, i have learned a lot of what to do and what not to do..       Let me tell you, i was raised in a home that exhibited love, weather it was love through discipline or genuine love.. I can not remember a specific time i went without communicating how i felt about a certain thing or situation. Growing up in a house full of sisters one older than me and four youn...
