 I know a lot of you are probably out with family and friends, but for anyone with no big plans this 4th of July...it's confession time!!

*I confess I feel like a loser for not having any real plans today!

* I confess I probably should have gone into work yesterday, but it was much more exciting being at the new apartment getting it ready!

* I confess I sent Ian some VERY scandalous texts yesterday. I was trying to be all fun, flirty and sexy and I'm hoping it didn't come off as desperate and horny

* I confess I LOVED the superlatives!! I wish I could think of 100 more categories so we can keep doing them!

* I confess there are 20 days until our trip to NC and so far I haven't lost any weight. Ian will just have to love me chunky!

* I confess I like our new apartment but sometimes I just wish we could settle down in a house with jobs right away

* I confess my neighbors are on vacation and it's really nice to not have to share our pool and yard with their kids 

*I confess that I should have cleaned the house already but I refuse to take Billy's clothes out of the dryer yet.

*I confess that I still need to run today, so I'm going to have to suffer through 13 miles in the heat of the day.

*I confess that the thing I'm looking the most forward to today is hanging out with my favorite 6-year old, Sandro.  

*I confess that I haven't begun to pack at all for my trip to Orlando so I'll probably forget everything I need. 

*I confess that it's a little odd being home on the 4th.... this is my first one in 3 years....

Hahaha now what is wrong with desperate and horny?!

- I confess my job interview yesterday went VERY well, but it doesn't pay that great so I don't know if I would take it if they offered

- I confess I bailed out of my 4th of July plans. I just don't feel like doing anything, which is lame

- I confess I talked to the boy today and I got to tell him about the new GI Bill. He was sooo excited!

-I confess I found out my birth control now has a generic version and it made my week 

I confess that I have plans tonight with friends and I would rather sit here but that's stupid bc I need to get out and laugh and smile. Kaylee's scared of fireworks though so i'm hoping she handles them alright tonight so that we can enjoy ourselves.

I confess that I'm trying not to get too annoyed with the fact that Kyle's homecoming date got pushed back by 3 weeks. He IS coming home. But it's just so typical that they would say "Ok youve been on 3 deployments so #4 we will cut short for you"...yet they just keep adding on weeks.

I confess that I would love if someone would offer to babysit Kaylee for even 5 minutes.

I confess that I can tell Kyle is on the verge of insanity bc of these deployments and I'm scared, feel horrible for him and just want him home. But at the same time, im on the verge of my own type of insanity but I have to keep it hidden so that it doesnt stress him out more and that alone is enough to make me go insane but it's what I'm supposed to do. Oh well, it SUCKS.

• I confess that it is 1pm and I am still laying in bed (with no intention of moving for a while)
• I confess that I am secretly glad it is pouring rain so the family bbq was cancelled
• I confess that I left work early on Thursday and got a pedicure even thought the office was already closing early for the holiday.
• I confess I got all attitudey with this guy at the fireworks last night because he said me sitting on top my SUV was blocking his view.
• I confess CT will be home on leave in less than 3 weeks and of course I am excited but kinda nervous since things haven't been the greatest lately.

I confess that I haven't heard from Gabriel much this week.:( 

I confess that my flat tire from Sunday night turned into four new tires, a front brake job, an alignment, and an oil change.  Yikes!

I confess that for all the girls who want to relax at home today, I'm right there with ya!

I confess that if we all lived closer, I would arrange a 4th of July where we showed up in sweat pants, ordered take out, and watched tv shows for the night.

I confess that I cleaned my house a little because my dad's coming over (ok, so it's more like I rearranged the mess, and less like cleaning).

I confess that my poor dog got terrified last night when people were shooting off fireworks early.

I confess that I took three introductory karate classes last week and I loved it.

I confess that I'm freaking exhausted from going to Disneyland with Shelby and her family.

I confess that I really got camera happy and just uploaded over 200 pics onto photobucket, lol!

I confess that I was really happy to get an email from Josh even if it was only a sentence.

I confess that I'm sunburned and really don't want to go out today...maybe tonight for fireworks, but that is it.

I confess I'm getting sick of writing 2 papers a week for my online class.

I confess to wishing everyone a Happy 4th of July!! 

• I confess that I'm finally feeling more secure in my relationship and it feels good to be happy. I really do love him.
• I confess that I was excited to see my nephew march in a parade this morning but he bailed because thats how he is.
• I confess that I brought the b/f breakfast at work this morning and I secretly love visiting him and seeing him, even if its just a few minutes. And he always is so appreciative.
• I confess that I miss my best friend, this month makes a year since we've seen each other. But regardless I'm SO thankful for her. She's never let me down.
• I confess that I'm excited for our lil family vacation in two weeks minus my SIL and I hope it still works out.
• I confess that Keith has to work tonight but were still going to see fireworks anyways and I'm excited.
• I confess that I have a lot of confessions today so I'll quit now.

 forgot one-

-I confess that our washing machine only worked on and off this week, and the dryer died today. They're 25 years old, guess they had to die sometime!

-I confess my mom does NOT have extra money lying around for new machines. Don't know how that's gonna work out.

I confess that I would love all the house renovations we are doing to hurry up and be finished because it's making us have to work instead of getting to do anything really fun for the 4th.

I confess that I am going to be disappointed if we don't get to see fireworks tonight.

I confess that the take out party with movies and sweat pants was an awesome idea and it would be nice if we all lived closer together.

I confess that I stayed up until 3am peeling wallpaper and it was actually somewhat almost enjoyable and I feel like I got a lot accomplished.

You know that she is always welcome here...I know the drive sucks, ha!! Hang in there girl =)

i confess i had so much fun with my friends last night

i confess that joe had to ruin my night...

i confess that we are in bad bad bad terms right now..ughh

i confess that im just not going to let that ruin my fourth of july plans... whatever happens happens

i confess i wished i had your number amy because i was on the verge on going crazy and needed to vent haha

-I confress I hate Jacksonville, NC.

-I confess I'm bummed this 4th of July because its my second one away from home and its killing me thinking that my entire family is together right now in Alabama eating BBQ and homemade icecream and we're the only ones missing.

I confess they still haven't finished his orders for leaving for Yuma Sunday night and they're trying to make him pay out of pocket because they can't get sh*t done on time...and I'm not happy about that at all.

I confess I haven't worked out since he came home either....I get so lazy when he's around, and he never wants to go to the gym with me.

I confess we're doing a couples massage on pre-deployment leave and I'm so excited for that!

I confess I'm sorry your hubby got extended Ash...that sucks hun, and I really hope he's able to get back soon.

I confess I am exhausted from Disneyland and Sea World with family (and Allie came for Disneyland :) you helped me keep my sanity with my family)

I confess I am soooo stressed from summer school and I don't even start till July 14th! The crazy fees they want me to pay and it is Calculus...ugh!

I confess I do not feel like going anywhere, but I already have plans and promised to go

I confess I have not worked out in 5 days and feel like crap

I confess this summer is passing very fast and thats a good thing!

Steph that is sweet of you, thank you. It's really not an extension since this is only a 1/2 deployment for him, so it's nothing heart shattering or major, but you know how it goes...any extra time they have to be gone sucks when you've been looking forward to a certain time period. I'm over it though :p  (...maybe)

I confess I think I just lost my mucus plug (sorry if TMI). And that hopefully means only a few more days until Rosslyn's here!!!

I confess Jordan's been calling me every night to check on me and I love it!

I confess I'm not doing anything for the 4th either. Mainly because I'm afraid I'll go into labor.

I confess I'm jealous of m sister because she's down in Gatlinburg seeing Boys Like Girls and Good Charlotte in concert. And I used to be OBSESSED with Good Charlotte.

I confess that I'm almost half way through with this deployment and couldn't be happier!!

- I confess that we just got home from the 4th of July Parade, and then lunch with my grandparents.

- I confess on said lunch it became very clear to me how old both my grandparents and my mom are getting to be - my mom's sort of turning into one of those "Well I made it this far, so I have the right to tell anyone whatever I'm thinking." sort of old people, and it makes me cringe in embarrasment... Half the time she doesn't wait to see what a conversation was about before she butts in.

- I confess that Matthew called while we were having lunch, and I walked away from the table for over 20 minutes and didn't feel guilty in the least about it.

- I confess that right now I've been praying my bootie off that Matthew gets MCT instructor when he re-enlists so that he's non-deployable for 3 years!!!!

- I confess that in just 3 days we will have hit the 5 month mark since M's been gone and its kind of hard to believe that we've already made it that far!

- But I confess that his 2 weeks of R&R are coming up, and I swear its going to feel like it takes forever to get here... Like those first 5 months were cake, but this is going to be hell.

- I confess that the weather is just plain crappy, I would have liked to go to the beach for a walk this afternoon, or maybe out for a hike but its drizzly, kind of windy, and just makes me want to crawl under the covers and do nothing...

 * I confess that I find it very weird how this state does most of the fireworks the night before the 4th...Something I am definitely not use to coming from Cali! 

* I confess that my last 2 days of eating WW Core again got thrown in the trash today. Tomorrow back to it... 

* I confess that eating WW Core really DOES help my migraines and I NEED to stick to it if I want to be pain free

* I confess that I am going to be come a WII Addict and now I want so many games. Hey it's a good workout too, lol!

* I confess that one of the Marines is ordering the fight on PPV tomorrow night and it starts at 9 PM. I am really good friends with his wife and just feel really bad that I don't want to go, because I am NOT a night person. By 9 PM I am in my PJ's already... I will just end up falling asleep there, lol! But I want to spend time with my hubby since he leaves Tuesday for a few days, agh. 

 I confess that the kids had alot of fun today playing old fashioned games at the fort. 

I confess that Bridgette won third place in one of the races. She got a ribbon and a quarter.  

I confess that it was hotter outside than I expected it to be.

I confess that I am glad 4th of July comes once a year, people were shooting of fireworks by the house until after 11pm. So the kids didn't sleep very well.

 I confess that I hope we can see the fireworks from the house because I really don't want to pack the kids up and go less than a mile to see them.

I confess that the above is because I am so exhausted from being out in the hot sun today.  

I confess that I hope all my friends here had a wonderful day today and for the love ones not at home I hope they feel in their hearts that they are loved and missed on this day. 

I confess that we talked to the people in charge of doing Living History at the fort and we might started volunteering as reenactors, even the kids are going to do it.  I am so excited I can't wait.

I confess that I have been missing being a Civil War reenactor since we moved from the East Coast.

Oh my gosh, my mom is getting to be the same way!!!! It's SO embarassing! I keep telling her she sounds like her mom and she gets all upset like "oh my gosh, I better stop". Then 5 minutes later she's doing it again! Do all people get more negative and opinionated as they age or is it just her? LOL 

On a lighter note Zori....5 months!! Holy cow girl you are kicking butt! You'll be so busy with baby Steven the next month will whiz right by! I'm so happy for you and SO excited for the two men in your life to finally meet! 

* I confess I switched to Comcast internet to save money and it sucks... I basically can't get online during the day lol.

* I confess I was paid my base pay, plus 10% for night shift, plus 1 1/2 tonight... for teaching someone how to do New Account Verification lol... WHOHO... Didn't even have to make a single phone call!  WHOHO 30 bucks an hour to sit on my butt for 10 hours!

* I confess that I still am sick as a dog!

* I confess Kevin was disappointed I couldnt do fireworks with him again this year!

* I confess I miss Lycia, Callie, Meghan and Marissa!!!  Sam too!!

I confess that I had all these plans for the 4th but I was awake at 7 AM yesterday and when I got back from work I crashed out and didn't wake up til late.

I confess that some of my bridesmaids are coming to see me this weekend and it's SO EXCITING!!
