Happy Thanksgiving!!

Let the holiday madness begin!  Today I am thankful for too many things to name.  Here is a short list of things that I could not live without.

1.  My family.  Immediate, extended, honorary.  I love them all and I couldn't get through a day without them.  The boys bring joy (and the occasional need to drink at 9:00 in the morning) to each and every day.  Wade makes me laugh even after 10 years of marriage.  

2.  My home.  I love it here where I don't have neighbors watching everything I do.  Where the boys can go outside and play with no fear of something happening to them.  (Minus the occasional mishap).  :) 

3.  My animals.  My sanity is much better now that I've been riding more since the boys are getting older.  I love my horses. 

4.  My volleyball girls.  Although they drive me nuts at times :), I enjoy that time more than anyone could know.  

5.  My Vi family.  I've made friendships through Visalus that I never would have without it. 

6.  My iPhone and my kindle.  (I'm not materialistic I just love them.)  :)

7.  The service men and women fighting for our country every day.  I've become more aware of their sacrifices since my oldest son became obsessed with the military. 

8.  Woodchuck beer.  Hey, when you have to be gluten free, the first thing you miss is a good beer.  This is the closest I've found that is worth drinking.  :)

There are so many more things I can think of, these are just a few.  I wish everyone a blessed day!


P.S.  Day 3 into the diet and things are great.  I mean really.......did I just say that.  We better have enough willpower to last 3 days.  My short term goal is to lose 4 lbs by the time we go to Vegas.  That's 2 weeks away.

iPhone Bliss.....Diet Coke Karma........Gluten Free Friday (oops)

Which means that Fedex finally arrived!!!!  Well, not exactly true.  They arrived, in town 20+ miles from my house and thought they'd just drop it off at the school for me.  How thoughtful of them.  Blahhhhhh........ Cause I don't work at the school, or anywhere in town for that matter.  At least it was in the direction of picking up the older child from his school.  Point is.......I GOT IT!!!  I LOVE IT!!!!  And I shouldn't be this excited about getting a new phone, but I am so shut it!!!  On to other business.  Yesterday was day 5 of no diet coke.  Well, it turned into 4 days of no diet coke and me drinking one when I got to town (to pick up my BADASS iPhone) cause I had a terrible headache yesterday.  I was almost certain I had not been glutened so I assumed that the headache was from going cold turkey on the diet coke.  The good thing was, it didn't taste near as wonderful as I thought it would.  It did get rid ...

Horrible Blogger!!!

Slacker..........Not really, but I'm sure that's what some are thinking!  I realized that I haven't blogged since the Lincoln 1/2.  I realize that I very nearly died in that experience.  :)  But no excuse for neglecting my fans.  All 5 of you.  So, here's a little recap of what has been happening in this Runaway Ranchwife's life! T-ball started.  The kids had their first games last night and they were amazing.  And if you ask them, they won.  They kicked that other team right in the ass.  (Even though they do not keep score and no one gets out.)  They don't need to know that though.  They are certain the major leagues will be calling them today! We had the most amazing week branding. I usually bail about the 3rd night of camping and claim that mom the kids are tired and need a night in their own beds.  Not so much this year.  I loved camping and spending time with the boys and everyone else that works here....

Pony Express????!!!!!..............

I realize that I live in the middle of BFE!!  It becomes a problem when we are out of milk for the bucket calf Kohl.  Also a problem when you're out of tp and it's Saturday at 3 and the store closed an hour before and won't be open again till Monday.  It's the shits.  Literally.  Which is when you head down to the bunkhouse in hopes that the guys have some laying around.  :)  It also becomes a problem annoyance when the Fed Ex people call you every time you are supposed to have a package delivered and go on and on about how busy they are and they just aren't going to make it out to your house today.  Oh, and could they just drop that off in town for you.  Well, if we ever went that direction you could, but we happen to go the other direction to "town".  This is what I'm waiting on..... I gave into temptation and ordered an iPhone.  Super excited!!  Well, I was until THEY informed me I wouldn't be getting it today cause ...
