Hump Day Humor

Woohoo the week is almost over! So for some fun I thought I would make this day something to make that would make the last few days really out with a bam because we all know the start it's slow dreaded!

So lets hear your Hump Day Humor! 

For us lately our humor has came from our dogs. We have two girl German Shepherds, a 10 year old and an 7 month old. As I'm working on my homework I happen to look into our bedroom I notice on my nicely made bed lies a 35 pound baby. Yep the 7 month old shepherd named Nico. She's laying with her head dangling off our bed that mind you is a ways up off the floor, so like a slinky you see her slip and fall off the bed! 

Yes not done laughing at her there mind you!!

After she falls off she looks around with a face of "Please tell me no one noticed me do that?!" then jumps right back up!

Yes our home is insane all around….

So what is some of your Hump Day Humor to give us some laughs?

Weekly Schedule Struggles

So admit it, we all struggle on Monday so much more then any other day. I have trouble sleeping on Sunday night after getting the pleasure of sleeping in 2.5 hours extra and possibly a nap with the whole family. 

On top of the fun, I get the luxury of staying home with my kids but waking up two cranky monster girls at 6:30a.m. We are scrambling for backpacks, getting hair perfect, breakfast down them without fighting with each other. The list keeps going on and on. 

I think my struggle it to just not sit and relax all day because I'm so worn out from having all 3 kids, and getting ready for the next week of school. 

So what is your week like? Do you have certain days for certain cleaning chores? Do you prep on Sunday's for certain things or do you fly by the seat of your pants on what is going on with your day. 

Give some tips! HELP!!!!

Crafty much?

Saturday is my days to get things done. I normally am stuck in the house doing homework and house work during the week so when it's the weekend, late Nights and EARLY mornings is for when homework is consumed and the rest is my fun days. 

The last two weekends it's been a fun filled time with Pintrest fun. Yes come on and admit it, you love Pintrest as much as me! So I hope to post every Saturday a project to a Pintrest pin I love. 

This Saturday I'm introducing you to my laundry room fun! I purchased two washboards, had a friend bless me with old fashioned style hangers, and picked a favorite color Inormally wouldn't, then add letters with magnets to stick and BAM pretty cute and vintage still wall art! 

Hope this inspires you to get your crafty self busy to escape from whatever it is you need too! :)

Something on the mind.

So I'm taking a break from a homework assignment to really get some things out that have really been on my mind the last couple days. Yes you might be thinking, if she is taking a break from homework, this might be really important to Angela…..

As many of my close friends know that my husband and I had tried forever to get pregnant and stay pregnant after our oldest daughter. We had three miscarriages in between our two girls. My body kept rejecting the babies like blood clots. So with that I had to be on medication ASAP when I got pregnant and during. With our son, our mid deployment present, I almost lost him around ten weeks and once again I was on meds but was put on bed rest. 

With all of our struggles, I still want another one but I know it's not physically possible after my L&D with our son and also now my husband has gotten fixed. MEN!

I lately see people getting pregnant like they just ordered a pregnancy with their morning coffee and it kills me to know how many of my friends haven't been able to enjoy even just one child. I would give anything to have them just to be able to have that moment of feeling the baby kick, holding him or her at birth. Hearing that first cry, and changing the millionth diaper at 4am. 

Recently a friend of mine is on her one year mark of finding out she was pregnant but soon loosing the only child she has ever been able to carry and it breaks my heart. I wish we could say or do something to take that pain away from friends. What the hell can you do? All you can do is pray to whatever God you believe in and put them in it every night that they get their prayers answered. 

So my question for you, have you ever wanted something so bad for a friend or loved ones that you would do whatever it took to help them? How do you help them through the hard times to get them to the laughing so hard you cry and squirt a drink out your nose times?

Please excuse the mess…..

As you might see that we have some blogs popping up like crazy tonight. I'm currently in a move….

A blog site move! 

Yes that's right I'm transferring what few blogs I have over to this blog site. I'm currently taking a class that requires a blog on this site, so to make things easier I figured this way would help for the future too. 

Sorry once again for the inconvenience but in the time being please enjoy the few posts that are in here so you can get to know a little bit about your blogger.

10 years of bliss?

Yes I am talking about marriage! My husband and I have been married 10 years and like any normal marriage there has been many ups and downs. We have survived 3 children, 2 deployments, 3 miscarriages, loss of loved ones, loss of fur babies, and much more.

 

Over this past weekend as my husband was fixing my child’s bike I thought about how amazing my husband is. He has been through so much struggle in his life that I can’t even imagine being through that much. Our soldiers in today’s world it’s even hard because of the deployments. As being a spouse I also have to help him through the wall of emotions. It’s no picnic in the park but honestly I couldn’t see myself without him.

Today’s society divorce is almost like your drivers licenses. It’s sad honestly. I being a military spouse have seen so many marriages just go out the window and it always worries me. Thankfully with my husband I am always comforted by the fact that we keep our communication open of what needs to be worked on.

Well now back to seeing him helping our child…..butterflies like a teenage crush! Yes I’m madly in love with him more then I was over 10 years ago….I just wish he would get some gray hair because dang I need to slow down the hair coloring compared to him!

A few weeks ago I was even blessed to once again see him in his element. His element of work that is. My husband is a head Drill Sgt of his platoon. Thankfully I volunteer to help out with them, basically to make sure that the drill sergants get food during the busy hours, help them with whatever is needed during trainings that I can go get for them at home. Along with that I get to take amazing photos when they are training. I have seen over 200 babies turn into some amazing soldiers. I wouldn’t have it any way. I know that my husband had a part in it, I know that he is a father role model to them.

So for all of you that are spouses, fiancés, or dreaming about that husband in the future, what is something that you think would be your bliss moment?

Changes for the Streit family

As many of you know I’m a college student, a mom, a wife to someone that is active duty Army…..and yes I’m not in a padded room at the local crazy house! With my crazy life I have taken up one of the most greatest escapes and that is the love for photography. Well with that being a Sports Marketing and Media major I am wanting to expand on to my education to add a little art in my life.

Recently I have decided to actually continue on to my education with getting my Masters Degree in Media Design. This degree is thankfully is like Graphic Design and I get the pleasure to add a little art! At my school thankfully my major for my Masters Degree it would be a year long!!!

On to now my husband’s changes…..Oh Army oh Army…..

He is now taking over the company that he is working and will be the head Drill Sergeant. If anyone knows my husband, they know that he will give only a 110% or more of his dedication to his job. He has started taking over while they are waiting for their next group of soldiers to come in for basic and AIT so we shall see.
Along with this, he is on the fence of extending his two year commitment to be a total of three years to stabilize our family as much as possible.

On to helping with his job, I am now the FRG leader of the company. I’m excited to do this job because it will be a different challenge because it’s a different world. We don’t have deployments, and we have a smaller group of people. I hope I make some Gator’s proud!

So anyone have any advice they would like to throw out for anyone going through a TON of changes?

Welcome to my blog

So I have been dreaming of the day that I could start a blog, give reviews, have tons of followers….Then I wake up and realize crap I need to start one to get that dream to come true! So where to start to make you all LOVE all of this crazy! Dang me trying to be an over achiever! 

WARNING: By the way, I will warn you in future posts, you might see a little bit of a potty mouth from time to time. 

 As you see by the header on this blog first I’m a wife. My husband and I have been married for almost 10 years to a man that I’m so blessed to have the honor to be married to. He’s active duty military and is currently a Drill Sgt here in Missouri.

My husband and I at a St Louis Cardinals game. I'm a HUGE Cardinals fan and you will see a lot of that. 

 We have 3 beautiful children, Nevaeh almost 9, Shaylin 6, and J 3. Yes having one little boy, poor J

L-R Nevaeh, J, & Shaylin Yes this shows a glimpse of how they are! 

 I’m a full-time online college student majoring in Sports Marketing and Media at Full Sail University based out of Winter Park FL. I love school like no other but then on the other hand hate it because I enjoy trying to spend as much time with my bunch. Since getting to school I have really found my passion of photography. I’m slowly learning it and I hope that I can be able to add that passion into my future career. 

So besides my cute kiddos, yeah you know they are pretty dang cute and you wanna pinch those cute cheeks! I have a few other loves of my life. Them few is a German Shepherd that is named Gretta, she is 9 years young. She was my Grandfather’s dog and after he passed away over 6 years ago we added her to our bunch. Then you have our two wrinkled up Pug boys, Max. He was rescued from a cage breeder. The second Pug is Sir Chubs(Chubs just for short), he’s 7 months and we hope to have him a girlfriend to add soon to our family. Our last but not least is our sweet kitty, Bella. She has been in our family around 7 years. 

 So now that you know much about us here is what I hope that I get to share with you! I’m training for a half marathon, it’s my motivation to loose weight. Talk through my battle with depression and anxiety. Some challenges with school and being a mom and wife all while striving for a 3.0 the whole time. I also want to share my very crazy loud input on things like I love doing and just trying to live my dream of being one of them bloggers. No I’m not planning on being a Perez Hilton level of blogger(oh heck I don’t want to even be on his level in many ways! No offense, nothing but love Perez!lol) So welcome, hope to see you follow, and stay reading! Leave some input of what you would like to see!
