Back from vacation. I think it has been the first family vacation in two years. We ventured to Canada to Niagara Falls. We have been before this was our third trip but I was excited to go with my first passport.

I guess I'm not a regular poster. There are times when I feel I have tons to say but never can i seem to find a way to put it into real words. Working at a helpdesk gives me pleanty of stories to talke about. Even the three kids tend to have drama and excitement about them. They themselves are like a telenovella just wating to air. But why can't I seem to find constant topics. I'm thinking of picking just certain days to just write about certain topics but it seems so forced. I'll try to think of something and find a way to make it witty and clever. You know laughable material.

Saturday we were out and decided to eat out. We went to Ruby Tuesdays. I don't recall if I have eaten there before but I'm not so sure I'll be visiting them anytime soon. It wasn't a huge deal that we were told it would be 20 minute wait. I've waited a lot longer for a seat at a restaurant, but there were many seats available and we were second to next in line. So I'm thinking WTF.

We sat for 10 minutes waiting for a server. They all passed us by. I was starting to think we were in a "no wait" zone and was about to leave. We finally get service and put in an order to an appetizer to share with 2 of our 3 kids. The older kid was smart he was out with friends. I believe we ordered a sampler and it was great. It did take a while to come out. I had time to play two rounds of Deal or No Deal on the iPhone. 

Once the main meal came I think we had already sent our drinks back twice. My flat Sprite and my husband flat Coke. Even after sending it back it still was flat. Now the food was great. Very delicious. However while the food was luke warm the plates were blazing hot. They were way too hot to touch and not just the adult plates but  our kid's plates as well. That really pissed me off. I was ok with my hands burning but when my kids are crying cause they burned their fingers just trying to eat...not kosher. 

There was even a part of the meal where we could hear the people at the next table talk to the manager. Apparently the two ladies got their meal but the gentleman at the table's meal was wrong. They took it back but he never got a new meal. The server offered to get a new one but he told them the ladies had long since finished their mail and he just wanted to leave. The manager ended up giving him a gift card for a free meal. At least I know I wasn't the only one with a bad experience. 

Happy 4th to all Americans. "Today we celebrate out Independence Day". I totally love that movie with Will Smith. 

I love a man in uniform. I remember shortly after I got married I had recruiters come to our home to try and get my husband to enlist. My dream was to be an Army Wife. Well actually, I wanted to be an Air Force Wife, but a military uniform looks great no matter the division to me. Of course just a few months later September 11th happened and I was so glad that my husband hadn't enlisted like I was pushing because I'm sure he would have gone oversees and it would have killed me.

But there have been husbands and wives who have enlisted and have fought oversees. Some of them have not returned. My heart goes out to those who have lost family members that have chosen to serve our country. They were brave and should be remembered and thanked.  Today we honor them. HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. Here's a poem I found on the internet that gives a good meaning of What is a Mother.

I had to go get an MRI on my knee today and I've been to this place before. Matter of the fact, I've had this knee MRI'd before. So the tech asks me what kind of music I wanted to listen to. I know the machine get's very loud and the music does help with the noise. SO I replied..."something soothing". Low and behold no music. I sat in that machine for 25 minuets with the loudest, most excruciating noise I have ever heard.

I asked about the music after I was done and some other tech said:

"oh, you barely hear that over the noise."

and I go

"ah, there was no music".

He goes

"oh it doesn't help anyway."

So tell me....why ask me for a preference if you weren't gonna play anything or it don't work.

Now......My head hurts and my knee hurts. That sucks!

I realized that my posts are far and few in-between. I remember before the birth of my now seven year old that I had tons to say. I loved writing and I wrote often. Now, I can't seem to find a single topic to write about. I have lots of interesting things happen to me throughout the course of the day but someone I can't find the words to get it down on paper. Why is that? Am I the only one that find difficulty in expressing my thoughts to paper?
