So serious
I’ll admit, I try to stick to humor as a defense against having to write anything with real social value. I’m not as creative as ABF or as socially intelligent as Paige so I stick with what I know the most about: being a young mom to two psycho babies. I typically avoid writing anything that could be conceived as “drama” but today I’m going to slip a little.
Last night was my sisters’ graduation from high school. They’re 17-year old twins and our parents were separated a long time ago. It’s been over ten years since we lived together or since I’ve really been allowed to talk to them. We’ve been in e-mail contact now for a year and a half and it rocks. It’s been a long and slow process to rebuild ten years of stranger-ship, but I have big hope for the future. Just a few months after we came back in contact with each other, the factor in splitting our family up, (our biological father) came back into town again from a ten year stint in prison. I thought for sure it would cause a rift in our growing relationship but it seems to be walking forward like I’ve been praying for. Since I’ve been living the military lifestyle, I’ve not been able to go on many outings with them, only when I visit home. Getting to go to their graduation was a phenomenal ordeal for me. (although graduations have to be one of the most boring functions you can attend.)
It was so nice to hug them in my arms again.
Congratulations Jessica and Kendra. You have my entire heart and I’m so thankful that I’m able to give it to you once again. I’ll love you forever.

‘Wheel Of Fortune’ Contestants Hit Hard As Vowel Prices
SkyrocketLOS ANGELES—Contestants on the television game show Wheel Of Fortune
have been hit especially hard at the podiums in recent months due to
skyrocketing vowel prices, which reached a record $600 last week. “I remember a
time when you could get an ‘e’ for $250,” 46-year-old contestant Samantha Means
said after a Wednesday taping. “But as Wheel contestants, we’ve become so
dependent on vowels to solve puzzles that the producers can get away with
jacking up prices because they know we’ll pay them. We need a legitimate vowel
alternative, but I don’t think we’re ready for that. I know I’m not.” According
to Wheel Of Fortune show runner Charlie Clark, vowel prices are not
likely to come down anytime soon unless America improves its standing in the
Middle East.

Is it just me, or do they have your nose?
My baby sister has my cheekbones, and she better be grateful!

Cute pic, congrats to your sisters! Love that Wheel of Fortune story, LOL! Oh btw, have I told you lately that your playlist rocks?
wow, congrats .. reunions like these are awesome!
Drama is worth is sometimes worth it, when you see the outcome.
Super cute pic!
Ah, Wheel of Fortune, such memories of watching that show with my grandma.
Have a great day!
What can I say . . . it is just a beautiful thing. Speaking of beautiful, your sisters. Well, mom and dad passed on some good genes, if nothing else.
I am happy for you
That is absolutely awesome. Way too cool.
Aww, that’s a great picture. My youngest sister graduates from high school on Monday. It really seems strange to me that she is old enough to graduate.
@Celestial_Rose2002 - Glad you liked the playlist. I have to toe a very careful line to keep the people happy. Love when you comment. =)
@trunthepaige - Thanks Paige. I see you’re feeling grouchy lately? Ask my hubs, I’ve not been much nicer lately. However, Dairy Queen smothers chocolate in more chocolate. It makes me happy.
@Sadiana_SaDiablo - Dude, I TOTALLY rubbed your comment in my mom’s face. I TOLD her Kendra had my nose. BOOYAH! And now, I love you..
Aw – that’s great you’ve gotten back in touch w/your sisters and were able to see them. Graduations *are* boring.
Y’all are so pretty. Glad you gals were reunited.
