That is the average amount of days that the bloggers that I follow post on their blogs.
It has been way more than that since I have posted.
Am I really that busy?
or
Am I really just boring?
Get up
Go to work
Come home
Eat food
Work out
Go to bed
Repeat
Yup
I am that boring
But I am alright with that!
Maybe a goal of a post a month?
Hmmmm.... I don't know.
I may be to busy;-)

And They Don't Even Drink
Facepunch Extravaganza!
Sometimes a mother just has to wonder what in the heck goes through her child's brain.
Even though I laughed so hard I cried watching this!
I hope that the link to Spencer's FB page works cause you really have to read the comments that go with the video.
Another link to Facepunch Extravaganza!
This is a link to the video from my FB timeline. And just in case the first link does not work here is the commentary on this ever so "brilliant" event:
Danny Martin Travis: you are officially "that guy."

Otherwise, you may find out that neither have they and in an effort to complete your individual journeys through manhood, you'll all have a "really good idea" that you should all exchange punches to the face.

13 hours ago via mobile · Like..Travis Plympton: Bahahahahaha I love your description it's pretty much exactly what happened. P.s. Welcome to manhood.
12 hours ago · Like..Spencer Volk: How does your face feel? I don't see a bruise on the side of my face, but I definitely feel it.
Really, Spencer was not raised by wolves. Apparently he just wishes that he was!

We Finally Got One!
One May 23, 2012 Aaron graduated from the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Wow! What an event!
The activities are spread out over 3 days. We participated in 2 of those days events. This post is all about graduation day!
The graduation ceremony began at 10 am on a clear and breezy Colorado day. We had to stand in line and get all our bags checked and go through metal detectors because the speaker for the graduation was none other than President Barack Obama. Okay, I may not be hip on his political policies but seriously it's the Prez! Kinda a once in a lifetime event to be at a "live" viewing of the holder of the office of the President of the United State of America!
This was one of those events that makes me want to shout "I LOVE AMERICA!" Before the graduating cadets came out onto the football field they were lined up under the stadium- what ever the official name for this place is I know not. It is where the football players come out onto the field from the locker rooms, and the crowd goes wild. While the cadets where waiting for the official okey-dokey to enter the stadium they shouted some sort of "YES! We are Pumped Up!" chant and yes the crowd went WILD! Then they started marching onto the field. We did get this on video but S & MB have that so you get the still shots which MB took. She has one awesome camera!!
The cadets march on and do this cool little separation thingie into their chairs. All 1073 (or was it 1076? Whatever! It was A LOT!) of them looking fine!
And then the guest speaker entered.
Introduction of official guests. Speaker. Speaker. Time to go through all those graduates! Finally get to squadron 18. End of the alphabet to Volk. Yell! Whoot! Whoot! Yeah Aaron!
Then it is time for the official commissioning of these graduating cadets to 1st Lieutenants in the United Stated Air Force (This is probably not the actual photo of that event but it is the only one I have of the group standing so we will pretend).
And then....
It's official!
As the hats fly into the air the Thunderbirds come zooming over the stadium. SWEET!
It was a great day. We had a wonderful contingent of the family there to celebrate the occasion.
In attendance: My dad and stepmother- Mark and Liz Child, My mom and stepfather- Tom and LaJeane Lewis, Duane's parents- Emanuel and Leona Volk, My brother -Curtis Child, Me, Duane, Megan and Jeff, Spencer, MaryBeth, Tori and Josi, Curtis' kids- Collin, Jenna and Courtney, Amanda and Amanda's parents Joe and Donna Pavlovsky, Ken and Joni Page.
Tired and hot but still cute!
Megan, Jeff and Collin just couldn't hang in there. Wimps. Megan got a great tan line on her one leg. She had leggings on. It's pretty sweet. I got a nice farmers tan going on too.
More to come!!! (I know you are so excited about that;-)

Good Taste
About 6 months or so ago:
I was in need of a new wallet. A girl needs one when they get a new purse right!? I wasn't really looking to hard but I happen to be in Target (my favorite store) when I came across this one that I really liked.
It has all the pockets and slots that I need and no extra business that I don't want or won't use.
11 Days Ago:
Megan was out for a quick visit to see her good friend Gabby come home from her mission to Los Angeles, California. Megan hung out with Gabby and Elizabeth during the day while I was at work. Did some shopping, sleeping and crafting.
One day after work I went to pick up Megan from Elizabeth's house where she had spent the majority of the day. She hopped in the car and her wallet fell out of her purse when she tossed it on the floor of the car. I saw what I thought was my wallet on the floor and had a confused moment as I saw Megan pick up my wallet and put it into her purse.
Then I said to Megan, "That's a really nice wallet. You have excellent taste."
"Thanks." she said. "Elizabeth and I both bought the same wallet today."
I laughed and told her I had the exact same wallet!
How crazy is that!

Do You Understand the Words That are Coming Out of My Mouth?
Scene One: Waldorf, MD. Wendy's drive through
Wendy's Employee (talking at light speed): "Welcome to Wendy's. Would you like to try a combo?"
Me: "No.... wait." Aside to Duane, " Do you still want the baked potato?"
Duane: "No, I'll have the spicy chicken combo"
Me: "1 Spicey Chicken Sandwich combo with a diet coke, a baked potato and a small chili"
Wendy's Employee: We only have three baked potatoes left. What size combo medium or large?"
Me: " Medium please. Great! I'll have one and a small chili."
Wendy's Employee: "No, we don't have any baked potatoes we only have three baked potaotes left."
Me (quizzical look at Duane): "That's what I want. 1 Spicey Chicken combo, 1 baked potato and a small chili."
Wendy's Employee: "We are not understanding each other."
Me: "Apparently not!"
Wendy's Employee: "We only have baked sweet potatoes left."
Me: "Then I'll just have the small chili."
Wendy's Employee: "One #7, medium or large? You want to substute the chili for the fries?"
Me (looking even more confused at Duane): " 1 medium Spicey Chicken combo with a diet coke and a small chili."
Wendy's Employee (with attitude): "Do you want to substitute chili for the fries?"
Me (seriously!?! and I can do attitude too!): "No. I want 1 medium Spicey Chicken combo with a diet coke and a small chili."
Wendy's Employee: "That will be $?.?? at the first window."
Scene Two: Driving around to pay and pick up food.
Me (looking at Duane): "Did you hear how much is was?"
Duane: "No."
Wendy's Employee (overly bright and cheerful): "$9.20 please."
Me: Pay the "nice" lady.
Wendy's Employee (still overly bright and cheerful): "Thank you!"
Drive to pick up window
New Wendy's Employee: "You ordered a Spicey Chicken combo and a small chili?"
Half way through this young man's question Duane and I both piped in with our order and I think that he must have seen the looks of frustration on our faces. He smiled and said, "I'm just checking to make sure." Perhaps he was confused too.
Dear Wendy's Employee #1,
Slow down girlfriend! You talk to fast! Your going at 100 miles an hour and you need to bring it down to about 45!

Thoroughly Chastised

Dear Mother,
Of course I read your blog. The only reason I stopped recently is because you stopped posting. I'm a little perturbed at your lack of faith in us, but I still love you.
Awaiting the next post,
