30 DBG: Day 19...Something I miss

Day 19:

Something (or someone) that I miss...

Today I am really missing my hubby. Clinton left Wednesday to go out of town for work, and I haven't slept at all the last 2 nights. In the 6.5 years we've been married, we've only been away from each other a hand full of nights, so I'm really going through some withdrawals. Can't wait to see him today!

I miss my sister, too. She moved to Phoenix almost 3 years ago and I hate that we never get to see each other more than a few times a year. I miss living down the street from her, knowing that if I needed or wanted to see her, I could do it any day of the week. If I needed a shopping buddy, or wanted to grab some dinner, it was possible. Even though we didn't see each other a lot, I miss having the opportunity to do so.

(P.S...WOW Presley has changed a lot in a year!)


Lastly, I miss being a kid...my childhood. No, I wouldn't trade my life for anything in the world, but gosh I miss being a kid. I miss living in my childhood home...

This isn't much of a picture, but its the only one I could find on my computer.

I was born and raised in this house, and my parents still live there. I find myself going over to my parents house sometimes so Presley can "play," when in reality, I just like to be there. Every time I think of our small 3 bedroom, ONE BATH, home...I can't help but smile and feel all warm and cozy inside. I miss the little things...all the beautiful trees and flowers, buttercups blooming everywhere in the spring, my parents cranking up the wood burning stove every winter...heck, even having to haul wood into the house every. single. day. when it was cold outside. I've caught myself trying to recreate these things in the two homes Clinton and I have lived in, and its just not possible. My parents house has so much warmth and character that you can't truly imitate.

Clinton and I actually hope to build a house next to my parents one day. They live on 5 acres which is plenty of land, but the lovely city they live in has a rule that you can only build one house on 4 acres unless its subsidized :( Maybe one day.

Until then, I just keep taking my little P over there a couple times a week so she too can have some of the same experiences that I did as a child.

OK enough of the sappy stuff.

Yesterday I had an awful migraine, which totally sucked because I had a crap ton to do last night. I had committed to making cupcakes for work and Presley's classroom, and of course I procrastinated and didn't start on my paper till last night either...and it was due by midnight online. And lets not forget that I hadn't even read half of the stuff that I needed to write about. One day I'm gonna learn...just not now apparently.

40 cupcakes later....

I finally crawed into bed about midnight, fell asleep about one. Yes, I'm exhausted today...and yes, my head is still pounding.

Today some co-workers dressed up for Hallween. I did not. But I wanted to be somewhat of a sport, so I decided to be a "Team Edward" fan...wearing my button Laura got me last Christmas that says "Bite Me...Edward only please."

Here we are...Laura is a cheerleader who STILL fits in her cheerleading outfit from forever ago...whatev! And me with my itty, bitty Edward button on.

Shelby and Laura

Shelby came dressed up as our boss Danny hah! He's always wearing the "bedazzled" gear, head-to-toe, with his backpack on one shoulder and phone in hand...

She pretty much nailed it!

A few other ladies that dressed up....

I hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween weekend!
