There are 2 bums things about my day today.
I have a cold, and I miss Dr. Drew.
There is a good thing I have going as well.
A friend from my youth is hosting us at her house this Saturday for the early afternoon hours. I'll be looking forward to it for the rest of this week, and I still haven't even told the girls yet. They're going to be very excited when I mention that this friend has a trampoline in her backyard.
One of my other friends from younger days met us for dinner at Ruby's one night a couple of weeks ago. Did you know that kids eat free at Ruby's on Tuesdays? It's true. They just don't advertise it. You also have to mention that is why you're there if you want them to give you the free meal on your bill. (We learned this the hard way.) It was a lot of fun to break our normal routine around here. I found myself quite charged up with positive energy for the next day or two.
I love good friends.
A good friend is like a good bra: They both lift you up from your low point!

- I have two kids in school, and one at home. I wonder what I'll do when they all go to school for a full day. Dr. Drew is an anesthesiologist for the Army. He recently returned from his first deployment, in Afghanistan. This blog represents life, as we know it.
Desert Adventures with Dr. Drew
From the mouths of Belnap Babes
We've been harping on the kids lately to listen better. We tell them we shouldn't have to say something more than once. So this morning at breakfast when E told Dr. Drew to "stop" THREE times before he actually "stopped" she reprimanded him,
"Dad. I had to tell you THREE times. You're supposed to listen the first time. You need a timeout!"
"Dad. I had to tell you THREE times. You're supposed to listen the first time. You need a timeout!"

I wish I could find a bra as good as the friends I have. Sorry you miss your honey. I have been thinking about you and hope you are doing well. Remember the dread we used to feel when we thought about deployment? Now you are doing it! and you are still living! and seem like you are coping pretty well. It is nice to be amongst long time friends and family.
Yeah...we can't wait either!!!! Will be so much fun! Love the Bra comparison too :)
Ha ha ha! I love your final thought in this post. Hilarious and true! Glad friends and family are keeping you busy.
DARLING family! Thanks for finding me! I was just thinking about you family the other day for some random reason, wondering if you guys (the folks :)) Still lived in NB? Of course through all my SYTYCD addictions I've thought of your family as well :) So you're one of the tough MAMA's supporting a military husband! Way to go! I'll check back more often! ALOHA!! :)
