Mattocks Family News

I'm bored and I really have nothing to say but I will write a bit anyways.

I should be in bed and long asleep by now. I have to get up bright and early to get the boys off to school in the morning.

Another Friday, this year is flying by but I am thankful for each day that flies by. Brings us closer to that day when we are a whole family again, whenever that might be. I was recently told that God will come before 8 years is up, just a gut feeling this person had and I have to say I took them quite seriously and so therefore know that nothing else matters but being right and being with ones family and so I am doing my utmost to do both of those things to the fullest that I can. It can seriously put a whole new meaning on life you know if you look at it that way. 8 years or less is not such a long time you know. I look back at my marriage and I remember the day I got married, was it only 10 years ago???? Was it only 8 years ago that I had my first child? and he is now in the 3rd grade. Was it only 6 years ago that my second was born? Has it already been a year since I went on my last cruise? Has it already been a year since Travis has had to travel? Time truly has wings in my life and so who am I to think I have all the time in the world for just anything. I don't, time is swiftly passing by.

Enough Seriousness.

So today, in about 7 hours to be exact I will start my day. Up to get the boys to school and then to Burlington to take some shoes back and pay on my boys WCC Layaway ;) Can't have them looking like ragamuffins, although Coda won't appreciate it in the least, he does hate the wearing of a suit. I often times despair of him ever looking all sharp, even when he has a suit on he looks like he just came in from outside, shirt untucked, shoes always scuffed, even if they are barely hours old, hair wind tossed. Whatever will I do with him, he thinks dressing up is wearing jeans and a button up shirt instead of basketball pants and a t-shirt. lol
Dallas on the other hand will be ecstatic over his new suits and has already been wanting to know what they look like. The sad part is that I am getting old and can't remember. LOL I am not joking, I went to buy a couple more but then didn't for fear I would buy the ones I had on layaway already.

So then I have a few other stops to make. I have been doing the ebay thing and unfortunately getting rid of half my shoes, but whatever. I guess that just means I can buy more shoes, next I guess I better start in on my clothing, I'm sure there are plenty I need to let someone else have the privilege of having. So I have to package up another sale, I have found that shipping costs are atrocious but I am finally getting the hang of it and charging enough I think, may as well take it to savers if I am just going to give it away, at least then I get a 20% off coupon, but then they cheat and its not good for 99 cent day and half off tags, only the full price stuff, well tell me, who wants to spend full price, even at Savers, not me obviously.

So enough rambling
Good-morning Everyone
