Boycott Base Gym

The military is renowned for rules and I'm all about rules and following them but sometimes I really want to slap people!

Today Zach wanted to drop the kids off at the new daycare center in our base gym while he went to run 12 miles for his marathon training. I no longer live on base and with the one vehicle I didn't want to sit in the car for an hour so I thought I would just go in and sit with the kids. However, I was clearly mistaken that I would be allowed to sit and watch my own children, nope not allowed. Fine... I would go to the Library on base but as I was leaving I was told that since both Zach and I were not exercising I was not allowed to leave the children, um WHAT?! So the kids get kicked out and Zach still needing to exercise decides we should all go upstairs into this empty room that WE have all used together hundreds of times. The lady follows us and tells us that the room is not allowed for children and that the exercise balls could harm them, REALLY!!!!? So yes, we got kicked out of the base gym today. The boycott begins indefinitely! I knew I hated the gym for a reason.

Hello again

So you know it's been too long when you have forgotten your own blogs website and password :) I really envy those who are able to keep up with their lives online. My goal for the rest of this year is to continue updating my site, mostly for my own sake it seems days, months, years are passing by faster than I can keep up and I'm losing my most precious memories by not jotting them down.

The twins will be four next month and I'm already starting their Pre-K (preschool) applications for this fall. They are growing up way too fast and at times I'm shocked at the things that come out of their mouths. I want them to stay little but at the same time I am ready for more freedom. Yesterday they had their first sleep over, normally I wouldn't allow it but the family they stayed with are the closest thing we have to family around here and I knew they would be in good hands. We took Jaxon on our little date night and for the first time I got to see what life would have been like with only one child, it was too easy! Even though the three of them make life so chaotic at times I wouldn't change it for the world.
