Today has been very boring our washing machine broke a few days ago so I ran to the laundremat to wash clothes and the dogs blankets.Our dog Dakota (the great dane) is so very funny when it comes to her blanket you would think she is a little kid.Every time I wash her blanket she paces and wont lay down until her blanket is back,and as soon as it comes out of the dryer she stands there and waits until I lay it down for her to lay on.For the next few hours she wont move off of it.She almost has anxiety acts about it.It is the funniest thing to watch.
It was warmer outside today so the girls and Rob stayed out for most of the day.They were riding bikes and goiong around the block and just keeping rob really busy.I also went to the commisary today and oh my goodness I think everyone and there grandmother were there.They are having alot of good sales on Thanksgiving food I guess next year I will be able to take advantage of it.Courtney and I are not really liking the idea of going out to eat but with Grandma being sick she needs to stay by her doctors and I completely understand that.Hopefully next year it will be like I have pictured it to be, but I guess you never know what tomorrow brings.I have come to the conclusion that how I had it pictured in my head about moving back home was like a child imaging Disney Land and in the real world it just isn't like that.I have been thinking of things that I can do to change how my dads side of the family do things.My grandparents,aunt,and uncle tend to get together for special occassions I really miss not being around them and I would really like for my girls to know them how I did when I was little.I am going to try and visit them more often and just spend time with them whenever they have chance.My memories of my grandparents when i was little are so great I loved being in the kitchen with grandma as she made dinner and grandpas big hugs that will lift you right up off the ground.Aunt Carol had a pony for me and would take me to fairs,and uncle Kevin took me to drive-thru movies and ice cream.I am hoping that someday Courtney and Kelsey will have good memories of them to,so i am going to try really hard to make time to be with everone.Not unless that drives them all crazy!!!(haha)And then hopefully in the future and not the so long future My mom will be down here too and then I will have all my family around me.I know it is probably selfish but nothing would make me happier than to be surrounded by family.
