Update time

Ok I guess I need and update here, so much has happened around here. First of all I'm starting to feel as if my husband doesn't exist any more. I know that sounds horrible. I guess it's just that I'm doing everything by myself and I've completely taken over the house. It's pretty bad when you live in a small town and when you go out you always see the same people out and about, I just know they're thinking poor women all those kids and no man around. Then you have the other end of the spectrum, when I do get a chance to get out without the kids I get kinds of looks from men, In my younger non settled down days I would have loved it, and I might even like it now if the men were top notch, but they don't even come close, or there is the young ones yuck.( I like them to be older than 25) LOL JK. However one day I was at Lowes it was me and the kids and here I was loading 20 bags of red rock into my car and this nice older man (my grandfathers age) came over and asked if he could help, I said no I'm fine but he insisted. As we are loading the rock he noticed the proud spouse magnet I have on my SUV and asked if my husband was one of them overseas. He said tell him thank you next time you talk to him and then he told me not to worry about the rock get the kids in the car he'll finish it up, so I loaded the kids in and when I was done he was gone and the car was loaded and all closed up ready to go. So THANK YOU to that man where ever you are, and now for my next story. It was just this past Thursday or Friday I'm getting ready to get all the kids out of the door and into the car when I hear a knock on the door crap I say to myself it's one of Alex's friends or someone wanting to borrow something. I get to the door and I see a news truck parked in front of my house and a guy standing at my door. Ok my first reaction was terror, did something happen to my Husband and the news found out first? I opened the door he into. Himself and said he was doing a story on how fast good ol Culpeper was growing. He asked me a few questions then asked if I would I mind going on camera for an interview I said no prob, but can I go get some makeup on first. Mind you my hair wasn't done nor was I dressed to impress but oh well. So I did the interview. I watch it that night they did a really great job and they put the kids playing in yard in the piece also. Well a day later the kids and I were taking a walk and a guy and his wife were having a yard sale, I stopped to chat a bit and then he asked is your husband ok I saw the new truck out there and all I could think was that something happened and the news was already knocking on your door. I told them the whole story of what really happened and thanked them for thinking about us. Other than them two exciting stories everything else has been the norm. The kids screaming at me, me screaming at them (which I hate doing) I hate having to raise my voice. My son got a hold of a knife don't ask how I think he's into magic and made it appear out of thin air because I've never seen that knife before. Well he cut his finger not too bad it's taken a couple of days to get it to heal. Just as his finger heals I decide to cut my knuckles with scissors as I'm opening a box, I can hear my husband's voice in my head, away from the body, and how he is going to hide all the sharp objects from me again. I'm pretty gracefully when it come to sharp objects, there was awhile there when my husband wouldn't let me use a knife or scissors ( not joking)

Well I hope this finds everyone in peace and good health.
