wamachoo-choo

It's raining like crazy here in northern NY. The weather has knocked over our outdoor patio set and knocked out our internet as well. Just in time to feed our newly planted strawberry plants tho!
We recently signed up for Netflix for a free month to try it out. THe kids love having Dora on demand. That's down now due to the thunderstorm.
I love thunderstorms actually. The dog goes crazy, the kids start crying, but I just look at the rain falling down and watch for flashes of lightning. What's your opinion on T-storms?
I finally got the whole house unpacked. We got all our pictures hung, got rid of the boxes and it feels like a home now.
So, who wants to come over?
Ben placed his papers in for renewing his contract with the army. He gets to choose his new PCS (station) so his requests were as follows: 1 hawaii 2 germany 3 California
he tells me its not worth it to get a job on base bc we might be moving in as little as one month! And I just barely got the house unpacked!!
I got some lovely birthday gifts in the mail today. my favorite part was the card I got with a pic of a cat on the front. It said Birthdays are like cats. One day you wake up and it's right in front of you.
so much like cats. always there for you.
speaking of pets, our dog has found the best places to sleep are exactly where you don't want him like in the middle of a stair, or on top of your head when you're lying in bed. If he weren't so boney that might work...but atleast he's warm. We named him Joey. Barks at strangers, everyone but us actually, but  he is cuter than many dogs. I posted a pic of FB of him sleeping on the stairs, right in the way.
Purchased the new Adele CD. I recommend it. I LOVE her voice. I also recommend reading The Guardian by nicholas sparks. (author of The Notebook)
Spent 4 hours yesturday running errands but now my husband has his newly cleaned and pressed suit, the kids are fully registered for school/daycare, and I have new books to read to the kids, and read for myself of course. What type of books do I like? I like mysteries. Usually I like them to have a tad bit of romance in them and always have a happy ending. I don't understand too much lawyer jargen so those are out. Romance novels themselves are usually too obscene if you know what I mean. I'm very picky about my books, and my food but man do I love restuarants and book stores.
Hope tomorrow is a great day for us all! thanks for reading -the moody fam
