Too much nature?

So we recently moved from a rental that backed a busy road. I guess you would call it urban nature? Now our new house backs to a wooded area. The first night we were in the house I fell asleep for the first time to silence, no fire trucks, no speeding cars or motorcycles! I was so very happy about our new place. Then the  morning came and I was woken by a humongous, loud woodpecker. From my bed this bird was 20 feet tall and was pecking away at the worlds largest tree. In the birds defense he was a tiny little thing just having fun with his little tree. So I learned to adapt to the nature around me and really started to enjoy it, until tonight. I swear it's nature overload outside my window. The frogs have called the crickets, who called the other loud animals and they decided to throw a party outside. It is like a concert out there. They all sing, croak, yell in unison and then they stop. That is when I lay my head down to get some rest and BAM! They start again. Seriously little animals, MOMMA needs her rest and would really like it if you would shut the #($* up! Thanks and goodnight.

Normal job

The other night while out to eat with my boys, daddy's job came up in the conversation.... As you know the hubby is in the military, with that job comes the difficult times of deployments, and long work hours. There are no set hours of work, it's not a normal 9-5 job where you will be home for dinners, activities with the kids, and have every weekend off. Most people say "You make plans and God laughs" well we say "You make plans and the Military laughs" It is tough for kids to deal with the complete unknown of this job, they did not sign up for it but try to handle it with much grace. For one of mine he is a little over it.... As I was telling them that we should be so very proud of the job he does, and the sacrifice he makes this sweet little boy responded with... "Can't he get a normal job like at McDonald's?"
