Hiatus is over...

So I've been having some depression issues and have cut off my computer time immensely. But, since I'm feeling better - I feel the need to catch everyone up on the goings-ons of the Super-hero house.

Summer is here. The kids are wishing that the weather would stay consistently warm. I, also, am wishing for warmer weather. It's been so nasty out that we don't even think about going swimming yet. Hopefully this week will be better.

I've been busy. The counter-tops up are finished in my kitchen. It looks good. Now hopefully this week I can get Popeye to sand the base cabinets so I can finish those and be done with it. It's looking nice, though. As soon as I'm done, I'll post before and after pictures. (Does that sound like a running theme around here? Start one project, promise to post pics, never post because the project doesn't get done...) I also went garage-saling yesterday and bought a beautiful mirror for my dining room. Well, POTENTIALLY beautiful. I just finished painting the frame and will hang it in the morning. It'll look nice, I hope. I'm also working on the flag for our girls at girls camp. They are the Sidney Ward Roof Raisers. Their mascot is a frog. Popeye drew the frog & painted it & I'm finishing the rest of it. It's gonna look Sa-weeet!

And on Thursday Popeye & I celebrated 9 years of marital bliss! Nine years. For a lot of people in the world, that's a long time. We foresee many more years together. I'm proud to say that we have NEVER gotten in an argument. Popeye doesn't raise his voice at me EVER and we've learned how to compromise. And basically, our way of compromising is, I get what I want. Seriously, I do. And when he feels strongly about something I back down. He has to have his way at least once in awhile. We didn't do anything special Thursday night but Friday I made us some ginger-terriyaki salmon, wild & brown rice, a sun-dried tomato salad, some appetizers & bread. It was yummy and quiet. And we spent the evening together. It was nice. I have to tell you, my husband is the best. And let me tell you why. He cleans the kitchen, no questions asked. He doesn't yell at me, even when I bounce a check or not pay the bills. He loves me despite all of my many flaws & mood swings. He's just the best. Period. I love him and am SOOOO happy I married him.

Moving on. With garage sale upon us, we are going to have our own in a few weeks here. The kids are all on board with it and have helped clear out a majority of the toys. As much as I want to get rid of the baby toys, something inside of me tells me to wait. So I got rid of some and kept others that the babies actually used. No, I'm not making any "announcement", I'm just saying that 'something' is telling me to wait on getting rid of my baby supplies. And that makes me feel sick. Really.

So, I've bored you to tears. I understand. Go, get a tissue and dry those eyes. If you feel so inclined, I'm going to try posting ever few days now. Really, I am. I know, you've started crying again. Deal with it already! :)

Until next time, thanks for checking in!
