2012-01-31T15:09:00.001-05:00

Took Sloan to the dentist today and they caped his tooth. You can't even tell anything happened to it...I do glad! I also called the doctor an gain because I'm still not fellin any better...she is going to call in a Z pack and mike is going to get it when he gets off...I pray that this is going to help me feel better!!! Sloan won his basketball game last night 22-15 I'm so proud if what a great little man he is becoming. I can't wait for Seth to get home and tell me all about the what the band man said today...he thinks he might want to do band in middle school. We also have a meeting on Thursday night at the middle school. I can not believe how my kids r grow...way to fast! One in high school and now next year one in middle school...I will have one at all three schools!- boy does time fly when u r older.

Sunday

2012-01-29T20:03:00.001-05:00

Well today started out like a normal Sunday...mike is not feeling well and neither am I we spent most of the day on the couch...I was in the kitchen making myself lunch and Sloan comes in crying and of course I asked him what was wrong he says...I broke my tooth. WHAT... I said open your mouth and yes he had broken off the bottom of one of his front teeth...so I will b calling the dentist in the morning

2012-01-28T22:50:00.001-05:00

Sloan had a basket ball game this morning at 9. He won!!:) I don't remember what the score was...sorry! His team has only lost one game :) Mike Seth Sloan and I went to seats after the game to get Mike some jeans all of his other ones had wholes in them and the wholes were really getting big so he could not ware them to work anymore- we then went and got a bit to eat and went to Aldis and Walmart. I can't believe we were gone till 3. Bit the day flew by...I keep telling myself since I have meds now I am feeling better but I just don't know if I really am?- I'm really tring to feel better...tomorrow I am just going to church and to rest so hopefully by Monday I will b feeling better. I am so excited I am work Wednesday:0) I'm subbing at DOK at crossroads. So the only day this week I'm not working is Friday. I really enjoy having Fridays off. It's my day to do rest or do whatever I want.

2012

2012-01-27T12:50:00.001-05:00

I guess I will just jump in since it has been so long since my last blog... Savanah started high school and boy is that different. Seth is in 5th grade and in all regular class except for math. He also started medican to help him focus and it really seems to be working. Sloan is in second grade and he is a very bright boy. He loves football and basketball and can not wait to play football again. Mike is working at ferguson it is a pluming supply place. He is a driver fe them. I am working at crossroads doing MMO and I am a sun for DOK and I also started working with a friend who has a home daycare. I am hoping that I will be working there more as time passes and she gets more kids. Over all my life is pretty good - no we don't have a lot of extra money to spend but...mike and I do have jobs and we have cars and a home. Witch a lot of people don't have. I just pray that life gets better...

life...

2009-10-27T12:33:00.002-05:00

I am starting a bible study tomorrow and I am very nervous. It is through DOK. The name of the study is "I'm not good enough and the other lies women tell them selves." I am nervous because of what I think it will show me about myself. But on the other hand I am excited for this new step in my life. I am tryng to only say and think positive. So I can plant good seed in stead of bad ones. It is hard but I am tryng hard to make this a life style change for me.
Sloan is star of the week this week and I am so proud of him! He is turning into a beautiful and energetic little boy! I am so glad that I get to spend my mornings with him. He is so full of life and never fails to make me laugh!
Savanah is tring out for the basketball team at school and I am praying that she makes the team. I know it will be hard work but I feel it will really boost her self esteem!
Sethy has a science test this week. We have already starting studying as science is not one of his better subj. He has this class with his regular teacher so that is why it is more difficult for him. He also has Social studies with her and we are having difficulties in that class as well but the issues have been addressed and I am hoping that he will start to pull his grades up in these classes.
I am going to work tonight...I love going to work at FW because I get to go by myself.

2009-10-25T11:52:00.003-05:00

New start...
my life 9 months later..

The kids just got there report cards and Savanah did a great job on hers she got 4B's,1A and a D in math can you believe it math of all subjects. But I will say she is trying to pull it up. Sloan got all good grades but really how bad can you do in Kindergarten. Seth did ok. He is really struggling with school this year it is getting harder for him as it should BUT I guess I should have worked with him more this summer to keep him up to his level. Mike is still at Ferguson and I am work at Fitness World one night a week and Crossroads one night a week. I am also subbing for first christian and Crossroads!

Bill collectors!

2009-01-22T19:41:00.002-05:00

I have had an OK week for the most part. We had to get ride of some things and down grade some others. But all in all it has turned out OK. WE only had enough money for a week of grouches and we have 2 weeks till the next paycheck so we r trying to make things stretch for another week...It is hard but I know we can do it. It has been so hard living paycheck to paycheck. We have even had to go with out power for a night because we could not pay the bill. That was hard.! But, we all made it. It is so frustrating having bill collectors call u at all hours and know u don't have a penny to your name let alone to give them.~ We don't really have a lot of bills it is just that we were living on Mikes over time and now he is not getting it and it is making thing VERY tight. It also made Christmas very hard! That was really hard for me.~ It is so hard for me to get to a place where I can make every penny stretch out.
~Living paycheck to paycheck is not hard we have done that a lot but it has never been so tight. We used to have a little left over to go out to eat with or buy a little extra at the store!~ but now we r doing good to get what we need....I know what you are thinking~ Everyone is having money issues now. I know that a lot of people are money issues and I really feel for them I know how hard it is for us and we have a house cars power and water. How hard it would be if we didn't...and there are people out there who have lost these luxuries. I know it sounds like I am complaining and I truly am not I guess I am just venting....and saying that I am thankful for what we do have....I just pray that God will help us get through~ I know HE will work it all out in HIS time....

Life

2009-01-11T22:49:00.002-05:00

I just have one question for you all?~ Why in heavens name does life have to be so very very hard!

....Working.....

2008-12-31T11:11:00.003-05:00

I really don't think I was ever supposed to work a 40 hour work week. The last 4 months have been the hardest 4 months of my life! Having my kids leave for school with out me and then not being here when they get home...UGH that is hard. I know that people do it everyday but not me. I have always been home when they leave and get home. Also I really didn't like my job. I guess it was OK I did not love it like I thought I would.~ and after my evaluation which I did very poorly on I decided that during Christmas break I was going to "look" for another job. Not that I thought I would find one but, none the less I would put my application in and hope and pray that someone would want me!~ Then the Tuesday before Christmas I went to Walmart to get some food and I ran into someone who works out at fitness world and she said they had hired someone for the nursery. I thought to myself ugh I could have worked there during the day again! Then another one of my friends that works at fitness world called because her son wanted to play with Seth and Sloan. She told me how they still need someone for the nursery and that I should go talk to Alicia. So I did and guess what I am working at fitness world again.! No it is not a GREAT new job but I know what is expected of me and they are good at working with me when scheduling me. I am getting 30 hours and that is great I will be making what I made a crossroads because I don't have to pay for Sloan to go with me. That is a BIG PLUS!
I worked last night in the nursery and it felt really good to be back. I had been there for 4 years before I quit to take my other job. I didn't think I would go back but it is nice to have some place that will take you back...
I think I will just stay at fitness world for the rest of my work life. Yes I am sure I will get burned out on it but who doesn't get burned out on work. No I will not be able to take the summer off but really if I had to spend all summer at home with the kids I would go CRAZY....Really, I think I would. I believe that I will be happy over all at FW. Although, I will miss the people I worked with at crossroads, I think it is really for the best.And the best thing is I will only be gone 1 afternoon a week. SO, I can be here for my kids and see them more!

2008...WHAT A YEAR

2008-12-30T10:23:00.002-05:00

In 2008 we sold are house,moved,Mike and I both got new jobs,the kids started new schools,Sloan played soccer,Savy went on her first overnight retreat,Seth upped his reading leave,Sloan learned his alphabet, Savy got a new sister,I reconnected with people I would never here from again (THANKS FACE BOOK) we met Berkly, Michael got a raise, Savanah got braces,Seth got Fuji,Sloan stopped wetting the bed at night,Sloan wore tennis shoes,we got Nate, I am sure there are more exciting thing that we did in 2008 but as I put it behind me I just thought it would be nice to remember so of them...
It was a very eventfully year for us and with all its ups and downs we still love each other. I am very thankful that I have been blessed with such a great family!
I hope that all who read this have a great 2009!~

2008-12-30T10:17:00.003-05:00

Sick....

2008-11-17T11:59:00.002-05:00

Last weekend I was starting to feel like I was getting sick and so I started taking zicam thinking that it would cure me and I would not get a cold....HA, But in turn I got a very bad cold! I don't ever remember when I have felt this bad it is so much worse then a regular cold. I am thinking that I have something else. I felt so sick on Friday I tried to get someone to come in for me but no one could....Saturday I was feeling better and thought I has turned the corner on the way to good health and then Sunday it was AWFUL!!! My stomach was upset and I could not hold my eyes open,I was dizzy, I slept all day,my whole body ached~ THANK GOODNESS someone went in to work for me today....I still don't feel well but I do fell a little better then yesterday. I am going to the doctor at 1 because I have to get better before we go to Alabama for Thanksgiving....I hope everything is OK and it is just a nasty virus.~

life just keeps going

2008-11-15T18:44:00.003-05:00

Has a month really gone by? Can you believe that in 2 weeks it will be Thanksgiving! And then a month later Christmas! WOW this year has FLOWN by>>>>>
So I guess you are wondering what has been happening in my life...
Well Lets start with the youngest Sloan Balon... Yes the poor boy thought that was his real middle name! Can you believe that one. His is still going to Crossroads and I think he really enjoys it. He has made some good friends. He is still a little wild but we love him just the way he is!
On to Seth, he is doing really good in school he is a little spacier at times but he is really thriving in his new school. He has gone up a whole grade level in reading in 3 months and we are so proud of him for that he has just gotten his second report card and he is doing great! He is doing light comp. at church but he is not going to do it after Christmas....he says they get to loud.
OK now on to Savanah....She is doing great in school....Math is the only subject that she is really struggling in we are so very proud of her she was on drill team but stoped because she was having trouble with one of the other girls saying mean things to her....Her dad just had another baby girl and she just can not wait to go and see her new sister...She is turning in to such a beautiful woman I am so glad that she is my daughter...
Now I guess it is my turn to talk about me....I really don't like talking about myself but her goes...
I went into work about 3 weeks ago and Lori my boss told me that she was moving me to a different class...I am now working with 2 other ladies in the moring and 2 different ones in the afternoon. Witch really is hard for the most part I get along with all of them but one.... SHE drives me CRAZY and I do not believe that it is just me I think that she is driving everyone crazy.....the kids I am watching are 1 1/2 to 2 and all this lady cares about is cleaning up and doing the bulletin boards! UGH.....it makes me so mad she doesn't let them play with that many toys and makes them clean up and sit for 10minutes before the go to there next thing. OMG it just makes me want to scream! Ok now that that is out. I am looking forward to going to Alabama for Thanksgiving it will be a much need vacation. I also can not wait to see my family there it has been a year since I have seen them...
I have met some really nice people at work and over all I like my job I just wish that I didn't have to work so much so I could more time with the kiddos that is what I really miss and I know that they miss it tooo....

your welcome!

Everyone, Nikki will be posting soon, come back for a full report of recent happenings....

This really sucks

2008-10-11T07:49:00.004-05:00

So much happened this week at work and at home it is crazy how fast the weeks go by now that most of my day is spent at work.
I really don't like working at all I feel like I work all day and never see my kids and then when payday is here and it should be the BIG pay off...it is for next to nothing... With mike and I both working we are still struggling to pay the bills. This makes me so depressed because Christmas is coming and we have NOTHING at all to buy Christmas with. I don't know what to do. I feel like getting a second job but then I would really never see the kids. This is so AWFUL!!! Mike and I work so hard and for what to struggle to make ends meet. Mike is worried about getting laid off and I hate my job. I think I just hate the idea of working in general because I feel like I am neglecting my kids. Savannah and Seth both have field trips that they want me to go on BUT NO I can't I have to work.....I don't think i would mind if I didn't have to work every day. If I just worked like 12 hour shifts and then could spend some time with the kids when I was off.- But then what would I do with Sloan all day everyday...He would not have Crossroads to go to.
I really just want to scream......I feel like there is no way out for us if I don't work we r screwed and if I do work then we or I are screwed.....

New day~

2008-10-03T19:21:00.004-05:00

It is October 3rd and I have been VERY depressed lately. I was very overwhelmed with teaching the 2-3year old. I decided to tell Lori (my boss) because Christie this awesome lady that I work with told me that they will not know if I don't tell them. I told them I wanted to be with the babies not itty ones but ones around 10-18 months. A week went buy not knowing what was going on and NOW I am in the dandelions class it is a class made up of 10 12-18 month old and I LOVE it I loving playing with babies all day (since I will not have any more) then when I get home to my kids I can handle them way better I think that dealing with kids close in age to mine was getting very hard on me. I would listen to kids whine all day and then come home and listen to kids whine all night it was enough to drive a person mad.
Yes I have to change diapers but none the less it is way easier to me to deal with the little ones. It is a whole different world over in the infant dept. I don't get to see Sloan as much as I would like but at least I didn't have to quit which i was thinking i would have to.... I am glad that I told someone I was so unhappy. ~
I went to the doc. on tuesday for my depression and my back pain it has been VERY bad latly since I have been picking up the little kids. I also think it is time to get it FIXED~! SO there is no more pain . I got X-Ray's done and it took for ever for the doc. to call me back about the results. But she finly did today she said that one of my vertibra is on top of the other on and she wanted to do an MRI . I asked if I could just do PT and the doc. said we could yes we could try that first. I don't know really what the plan is if the PT doesn't work I am guessing an MRI and see if anything elese is going on.

school.... part II

2008-09-03T19:26:00.002-05:00

hello just an update on the school issue... I didn't read my last post but I am sure that I said I something about how much i disliked my school and teaching my 2 almost 3year old...But it is not that bad this week. Yes we have had a fit every day from one of my students and we have had accidents every once in a while but as a whole it has been bearable...A very wise man said that I need to talk to the Lord about it and I did and he has made it better. I hope anyway. I am still worried that i will get new students when one of mine leaves the end of this month and I will be back where I started and I also don't like working till 4.... 3:30 would be better for me cause then i could be home with my kids more. Don't get me wrong I would love to not work at all but if I have work I guess I have a pretty good job that will let me take off when the kids are home. As for the kiddo's they r doing good savy and seth r doing homework and sloan is in the tubby and mike is helping seth with homework...I am getting ready to go back to my new addition facebook!!!!
God Bless~

I really enjoy the people i work with and there are all very nice and very helpful!

GOD BLESS!

PRAYING.......

2008-07-29T16:30:00.003-05:00

SO I got up yesterday morning at 4:30am. Mike had set the alarm and didn't turn it off when he got up so it woke me and yes instead of going back to sleep I just stayed up....I went on my interview and as I was sitting there waiting there I was talking my self out of wanting the job. I even thought about leaving with out doing the interview. I stayed and did the interview and I am so glad that I did. It is the perfact job for me....I would be teaching little kids in the morning, I can enroll Sloan in the 5year old program, I can take my lunch to take him to school, and the best thing I can take the summer off if I want to.! Does this not sound like a perfact job for me! ~ If you know me you will say yes!!!! NOW I am just waiting to here from them to see if I got the job or not~>~>I am praying that I got it I really want it so bad!~ It doesn't pay that much but it is forty hours monday -friday. I will work when the kids are in school and I will be home by 430 so I will be home to help with home work! Can we say PERFECT.....So please help me pray that if this is the job that the LORD wants me to have that I get it. If not then I know that The Lord has another plan for me but doesn't this sound wonderful!!!!
God Bless~

Nervous...

2008-07-28T06:00:00.002-05:00

I am so nervous about my interview this morning. I really don't know why.I know that the LORD will lead me to the right job, and it is not like I don't have a job. I can always sub at the school system and in the preschool. I just want to make some real money so I feel like I am helping out with the bills and the extras that we get each month. I always knew that when Sloan started school that would be my goal to get a good job or a better job. With a little more pay and a few more hours. Well I better go get ready for my interview~ I will let you know more later!
~N~

why worry

2008-07-24T20:36:00.003-05:00

I was so worried all summer long that I would not have a job this fall so I when someone at the gym told me there was a position open working Monday,Tuesday,wed,and Friday I took it. I thought for sure it would be the only job I would be offered. I guess it goes back to the low self esteem that I have about myself. Well I was wrong.....
A couple of weeks ago I got a call from someone that said they were with the Warrick count school corp cafeteria. I thought it was something about free lunch for the big kids at school. But I was wrong. She was calling me for an interview. I went on the interview and got a sub. position for them making what i am now at the gym. I also still have the sub position at the preschool for the special needs children. (There might be a position with them in the pm class)
Today Crossroads (the church I go to) called me for an interview in there child care. I have no idea what they pay or what my duties will be but I think that this is just AWESOME how God is opening all these doors for me. I will continue to pray about the decision so that I will take Gods path for me. BUT WOW how awesome is he~ All we have to do is trust in him and that is so hard for me....Obviously, I took the job at the gym, and had to quit because the jobs in Newburgh are closer to home and will work better for everyone in my family....
I just wish that I could find a good a good paying job that has so stability to it~ I know I have to trust in him and it will be.....and that is what I think I will do this time! After all what happened the last time i got nervous.....So the moral of this little story is trust in the Heavenly father he does know all......

BLESSINGS

2008-07-13T07:07:00.004-05:00

I am so very blessed....God is such a awesome man! I know that I am a sinner and I sin everyday. All though I try not to. The good LORD has blessed me with a great family,healthy children,enough food,awesome home and a comfy bed at night....I really need to thank him more then I do. I know that I have a lot more then some people and I am truly BLESSED~

Sloany...

2008-07-08T09:48:00.003-05:00

I have been watching kids shows for 4 days now and boy am i tired of it. Sloan has had a 103 temp and so I took him to the doctor and guess what he has a double ear infection....So needless to say I am not working today...I didn't work yesterday and I am hoping to go back tomorrow. Savy is going to stay with a friend tonight so it will be one less that poor barb will have in the nursery at fitness world. I feel so bad with having to bring them both really makes me feel bad for the person working in the nursery but when mom is out of town and no one to watch them I have no other choice...
We have had a pretty peaceful week...Since Sloan has been sick it has been very quite around here. I think he has been fighting this cold for a couple of weeks....He has really been bad for about 2 weeks. I also think he has been bord too....
Well that is all that is happening here I am still waiting to here from USI to see how many credit hours i have. I am also PRAYING that I get a job with the pre-school.....I so want this and I feel like i would be good at it.~ I just hope that Lisa finds a place for me.~ I am so tired of driving to the gym and being on my feet all day....
talk 2 you soon~
God Bless
~N~

update~~~

2008-07-05T21:28:00.003-05:00

I went to USI and Ivy Tech on Thursday to see how many credit hours I had and I found out that at Ivy Tech I have 18. I know that that is not a lot but when you only need 60. It is kinda good~ Well I think so anyway. I will not know about USI till next week. They have to mail it. I am praying that I have at least 10.... That would mean less class for me. ~~
Thursday night I went to Sarah's house and emailed her boss (the one that asked for me to or someone to help with the summer classes for the pre school) the email basically said that I was very happy and blessed to help Sarah and that I would love to be considered if there were any positions open for the next school year. She emailed me back and said she was glad that I could help and she would keep me in mind if any opening in the pre school came up....SO I am very happy I pray that some thing opens. That the Lord will bless me with the job of my dreams....
I will let you know more as soon as I know more...
GOD Bless
~N~

more about ME~~~

2008-07-02T21:53:00.003-05:00

For the past 2 days this has been my schedule work come home and take a two hour nap and if I didn't have stuff to do I really think I could have slept all night.~ LSAT NIGHT I got up made dinner ate dinner and then back to sleep. It is like I can't get enough sleep or something. ~ I don't ever remember being this tired.
I have decide to bit the bullet and take the para pro test....(If I don't have enough credit hours) you have to have 6o and I know I don't have that but I might maybe be close. ~~~ One can always hope. I am going to usi and ivy tech to see how many credit hours I have and then I will know more tomorrow. I would really like to take the test to see what I do really bad in so I will know what to study. I am also going to the EVSC to apply for teaching asst. SUB.... that is what I am doing in warrick county (NEWBURGH) I am hoping that if I apply at both places I will work a couple times a week,,,,~ But as I have said before I will know more tomorrow~ SO I guess I will have to write more tomorrow when I know more what is going on~ Good Night
may GOD watch over you and Bless you!

2008-06-30T07:27:00.004-05:00

A few months ago I told you that I got to sub for a special needs pre-school, And i LOVED IT.

It was very scary at first, I thought I would not do well ,But It went ok, and believe it or not I had a great time. Sarah is a OTA (I think that is what it is). With the Warrick county co op, She is the one that got me the job subbing for the pre-school.
SO about 2 weeks ago Sarah calls me and says "HELP ME" can you help me teach a summer school at WEC (warrick education building). I asked what time and at that time I could only do one week of it since I am working more at the gym. I was upset but I had already told Alicia that I would work at Fitness World in the mornings...
The next day Sarah called me and said the time has changed (GOD THING) Summer school would now be from 330 -430. I was so happy I could help with them all!!!!
They started last week and I was nervous, but i knew it would be ok after all it was only an hour. The first day went ok...the second day went even better and the third day went even better...(It is only Monday,Wed, Friday).
I love going to teach these kids. I didn't think that I would be very good at it. I thought that dealing with the kids at the pre-school and then dealing with my kids and working at the gym would really get to me....BUT I LOVE IT!!!!! IT is so rewarding. The hour goes by so very fast.

I have been praying that GOD would show me what to do now that Sloan is in school. When Jamie said that they needed someone to work the front desk at FW I thought well I guess I am supposed to stay here....Not really wanting to but it is a pay check....

I SO love going in and working with the special needs kids it is not like working at a regular pre school. It is so much better. I so very much want to get HIRED on there full time. BUT, I have to take a test called the para pro test for teaching asst. and the BOOK really intimidates me. IT gives me such anxiety to even look at the silly book. BUT, i really feel like this is what GOD is calling me to do. ~ I know that if this is what he wants for me he will help me to do good on the test but the stuff I have to study and know is so hard for me. Just righting or blogging about it is making me nervous....Can you believe that a book would do that to someone.? I know crazy.

I just feel like this summer school thing was so unexpected and me even getting to work at all at the preschool was so unexpected that I really feel like it is a GOD THING....HE is telling me this is what you r to do?! This you will be good at this is where i want you. ~ SO now what..... I guess I will just keep praying....
GOD BLESS

there goes another month....

2008-06-28T16:39:00.002-05:00

Can you believe that in 2 days this month will be over. This summer has gone by so fast it is crazy. I would be willing to bet that next month will go by even faster. I work 1 of my 2 jobs every day but 2. The 16th and the 31st. The 16th is Savy's B-day so that day we will be savys day and we will have to do whatever she wants to do.~ Which i would bet would be to go shopping at the mall~ The 31st is my day to do nothing....whatever I bet I will have so much to do it will not even be like a day off.
~~~ But just like everyone we need all the money we can get now as everything is so expensive.
I don't ever feel like I get to see my husband anymore. He works and I work we eat and go to bed~ Crazy isn't it we work to pay bills and get things and we never get to use them....
The kids are doing good savy has had a stomach bug that has been going around she was at a friends house and got sick and called me at 2:30am to come and get her~
Seth and Sloan are getting so big Sloan is a few inches shorter then Seth it is so crazy to see them together. It looks like they are only a year apart.
~~Wei R TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT TO PUT SLOAN IN IN THE FALL BASEBALL OR SOCCER. ~~~ He says he wants to play soccer but Savy and Seth have tried it and they didn't like it. We have the stuff for baseball so I am pushing for that. He is a good player for only being 5. Seth is wanting to try golf so I have called a local golf place to get him started. Savy is going to Volleyball camp sometime this month. She is going to try it so she know if that is the sport she want to play. ~
Katie (the dog) got out last Sunday and we got a warning from the animal control. It said we need to fix are fence. I don't know what to do with her! I love her to death but She is always digging she just wants to run and have fun be free. We r going to try to put chicken wire around the bottom of the fence but i don't know if that will work or not. Maggie is Maggie and Nate is a puppy and he is peeing and poohing all over and he is tearing up paper like crazy~ It is really getting on my nervous~
Ok I guess this is long enough
God Bless

July.....

2008-06-20T08:16:00.002-05:00

Ok who ever said that life slows during the summer? I always thought or at least it has held true for me that life slot was down just a bit during summer. Not as crazy, don't have to get up so early, go with the flow kind of days.....NOT THIS YEAR. I can count on one hand how many days I have gotten to stay home all day and do nothing....Well almost nothing.
It is such a blessing to me see how much life and things change. My kids r all getting so BIG I can not (Sarah called my on SKYPE it is like IM ing but you can talk to the people on a mic and see them on a camera if you have them.) I wish that my dad and family would get it so I could talk to them and see them and here them!!!!!!) just a little hint hint...) OK the kids r all getting so big I can not believe that they will all be in school next year. That is so crazy to me. I can not believe that sister will be a teenager soon and seth has come so far since he has enter rehab it is like he is different child...Savy will get her braces on soon and then seth and i am sure sloan....will need them too. I would like to get a retainer because my teeth r turning out. But I am sure I will not be able to afford all of that. I am going to start working at the gym 3 more days in July. I am also helping Sarah teach a summer school class for her special needs children. There will only be 4 of them and the class will only be about an hour long. I thought this would be good to do to see if this is where the LORD wants me for the rest of my life...Savy is doing a Volleyball camp and seth is trying to take Golf lessons and Sloan has decided that he want to play soccer in the fall. I know we stay way to busy....I HEAR THAT....GO is my middle name. I am still on my weight loss journey I have start walking and exercising at the gym....I will add in watching what i eat next week and then after that it will be to push myself to do more exercising. I am still selling Mary Kay and I love the NEW product I didn't know about it at first but I tryed it yesterday and I love it it is so AWESOME!!!
ok that is about it for now i can not think of any thing else to talk about...
GOD BLESS YOU ALL

June~

2008-06-07T09:44:00.002-05:00

This week was very busy I was teaching a VBS class of 3 year olds at r church. It was fun to get to know all the little kids. Seth had bike camp (he learned to ride a 2 wheel bike) and then one day I worked too. SO it was a very full week. Next week will be slower the only thing that i have planned it ot for seth, work on day for me, doctor for kindergarten shots for sloan, and ortho appt for savys braces.....Yes I know it sounds busy but not for me it sounds slow. We r planning a yard sale as we have a lot of stuff that we r not using in the new house and there is no need to keep it if we don't have to.
I am very worried about the job situation for next year....We know who the kids teachers r but I really want sloany to go to all day kindergarten. I have applied for several jobs and they all say that they will not be hiring till the fall witch is fine with me. I really don't want to work till after school starts. I just don't know if there fall and my fall are at the same time. I guess that is it for now. I am at Fitness World and I need to start cleaning the nursery.
Have a great weekend~
dad i HOPE u all had a great trip~
God Bless

BUSY.....

2008-05-25T20:23:00.002-05:00

I feel as if I never get time to sit just sit and enjoy the quite! ~ These past few weeks have been so crazy. I was sick and it took 2 rounds of meds to get over it and that made me very tired! On top of the fact that Savy has had Graduation things to go to and then there is the Graduation itself witch by the way she was beautiful in.....I can not believe that my baby girl will be in 6th grade I can remember when she was just 2 and was riding her little car on the side walk. ~
I can not believe that Sethy will be in 2nd grade and Sloan will be in Kindergarten~ wow I am getting SO old!~!~ We R going to get ride of the cats so if you know anyone any one at all that wants 3 loving cats let me know!@!!!! PLEASE~ I am very upset about having to get ride of them but Michael can not breath and that is not good at all.... We all so got a Chihuahua. He is very cute and is 4 months. they say he will not get much bigger he is 5.5 pounds now.
Only one more day to go till school is out, why they have to go Tuesday is beyond me.? We are going to Holiday World tomorrow and I feel like such a bad mom Nate and the girls r going to have to be in there cages all day by them selves. OK that is about it for now. I hope that this summer will be slower then this school year!

5/10~ What a week

2008-05-10T20:20:00.003-05:00

I worked so much this week! I don't remember when I worked so much. I have been very sick tooo I stayed in bed today AND I am hoping to go to church tomorrow. I also hope that I feel better. Because I really feel bad I don't know what is worse the flu or this illness...It is pretty bad. OK Just a couple of updates...We are getting the washer fixed it is only going to cost us a little over 200$ SO we chose to get it fixed. We r going to North Carolina because my great Aunt will be there. I got my car back and I love it! It is hard to get used to a car again but I really like it. I am off to bed~ I will write more latter...
GOD BLESS

my week~~

2008-05-03T20:14:00.003-05:00

well it is Saturday night and we are sitting at home tonight! I am so glad that we decided to stay in. Today I watched Sarah's girls for her, she was on her way to Hatai and Tim was working at the fire station. I pray that she has a great week with her little boy and I will be praying and worring about her all week! But I know that she will be fine! The Lord is watching over her.
Ok now on to bigger and better things! UGH...We need a new washer or we can pay around 4-500 dollars to get r's fixed. So since we really don't have 1000$ to spend we think we r going to fix r's. I know it is kinda silly to fix it but....WE like r's.
So last weekend we bout me a new or used car. YES I said car for the 5 of us. It is a little or alot cramped and i never thought I would like to have a car but I do. I really like it. I also hope that it gets better gas then my suv. Mike is driving that now.
Mom is having a yard sale on the 17th and I am going to put stuff in it. I thought we might be able to make a little extra money. Savy will be selling donuts in the am and pizza in the pm. That was mom's idea and I for one think it was a very good one.~ She is trying to earn money for camp.
Savy is very read for graduation she is counting the days. We are going out to find her a dress for he big day.
Seth is a little nervous about starting a new school. And Sloan is VERY ready for kindergarten but he took his lollipop test and they said that he needed to work on a lot of things. SO Mike and I r thinking only thinking about holding him back another year.
Mike is applying at BFI this week to make more $ we never seem to have enough.
I am really hoping to get hired on at the pre-school next year! It was such a joy to work with those little lives. I love working with children with "special needs". It is so rewarding. There r 2 classes 1 in the morning and 1 in the pm they are both just 2.5 hours long so I would not be making a whole lot but, the benefits way out way what u make!!!!~
Ok I guess I have rambled on enough so I will go for now! God Bless you all that r reading this!
talk to you soon~

2008-04-23T20:32:00.003-05:00

Skinny B*tch...

2008-04-22T20:53:00.003-05:00

When I was at Sarah's house today I started reading for the 2ND time "SKINNY BITCH" I started it a few months ago and the language is so bad in it that I had to stop reading it but now I feel that I can just overlook those "BAD" word and get what the book is really talking about. I have just read the 1st chapter and I am hoping to read the second chapter tonight before bed but I really feel like it might change the way I look at food and drinks~ I hope it does anyway...Some of the thinks that i was putting in my body were so bad for me. Full of chemicals and junk. I don't need to be worrying about my food & drinks. I have enough to worry about. So I am going to try very hard to be a lot more healthier in my choices of food. I really want to be healthier in my life so I can be around for a long time....

Happy Birthday Seth

2008-04-14T18:57:00.002-05:00

HAPPY 8th BIRTHDAY!!! Seth Peter....
Today is Seth's birthday and I have had a very busy day! I had to go get his gift this morning and cupcakes for his class. I had to go while Sloan was at school so he would not tell his brother what he got. I also had a meeting at school about Seth and his LD and what they will be doing at school for the next 5 weeks. He will have to go to a "Special" math and spelling class when he is having them in his regular class and he will go to speech class once a week. {SO I am hoping that this will all help him get to where he needs to be. I am also thinking about getting him a tutor this summer. I would like to set Savy one to so that she can keep the school info fresh in her mind. BUT, the money is a big issue...I will not be making as much this summer and I would like to do somethings but then again I would also like them to succeed in school to.!? I guess I will just pray about it and the Lord will work it out like he always does.} I also went to his class after the meeting to do cupcakes with his friends at school. Then i had to run to Andrea's house get Sloan, and then I got to come home. It was close to 3:30 by the time I got here and let me just tell you how very tired I am....
Ok I am off to watch Desperate House Wives from last night I could not stay up that late to watch it so I DVRed it...
God Bless

jobs...

2008-04-12T06:21:00.003-05:00

About a week ago I was talking to Andrea about one of her friends working at CURVES and she was telling me about what GREAT hours so i called the curves that I was close to and one of them was hiring so i went and applied and I got offered a job this week....after much debate I decided that now was not the right time to be working every night. This is Sloans last summer at home and I want to spend as much time with him as I can. I know he will only be going to 1/2 day kindergarden but, i KNOW that I will have time to work full time.....
UPDATE...
Savy is doing fine she went to school the next day and the boy that did the pencil in the eye was there and he says he didn't get into trouble?! GO figure.......I am glad that she didn't lose here eye sight!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO >>>>> SARAH C. you r a beautiful young lady and I love you! I hope you had a great BIRTHDAY!!!

School part 2

2008-04-09T20:10:00.003-05:00

Ok I said I wanted to say more and this is it...
Savy wants to start going to Castle NOW she has had such a bad year she has teachers that don't care about her she is always coming home saying that someone made fun of her for being dumb (witch by the way she is not) she has been hit...and now she has been hit in the eye with a pencil...How much more should one child have to put up with at school? Shouldn't she be able to switch schools even though she only has a month left?! I am very torn part of me says If you love her don't make her go back to that awful school~ the other part says by the time she gets settled in she will be out for summer break? SO what to do.....I just really need to pray about it I guess.....Well I am off to bed I have a head ache and tomorrow is always another day....
Also if you all could PLEASE pray for the Haitians(?SP) there have been alot of riots going on over there and it is very troublesome to me because Sarah will be going over there very soon to see her son!
God Bless~!

School

2008-04-09T15:12:00.003-05:00

So I go to Bible Study study this morning where I am totally lost. As it was getting over I look down at my cell phone and it was HEBRON calling...O my what has happened. I tried to call the school several times but it was busy then my mom calles me and says "991 991 you need to go get Savy she has been hit in the eye with a pencil!" O my I said can you get Sloan? she said yes and I am off to Hebron to get my baby girl worried sick the whole time....How could anyone hit my baby girl with a pencil? What could of possible happened.....these were all the questions going through my mind..I get to school and no ones seems to care. I went right past the office to the nurses office to get her and take her to the doctor. I went up to get Savy's math home work and Mrs. Schultz said I can not believe that she got hit so hard she has to go home.....Needless to say this comment mad me upset. I go back down stars and then another one of her teachers says something similar SO needless to say I am very HOT by this point....I take her to the eye doctor and she had to get 3 pieces of lead pulled out of her eye! Dr. Pratt said it was like a splinter being pulled out of your hand. He gave us some medicine and sent us on r way......We went to target to get the medicine and then got Sloan and came on home where she has been resting all afternoon.
I have more to wright about this but ...Mike just got in so it will have to be later!
Peace!

McDonalds.................

2008-04-08T21:07:00.004-05:00

Today I went to McDonald's for lunch we went to the one in Newburgh that had a play place. We had Sarah's little girls and Sloan. So we knew that we could talk without them bugging....Well we ate and the kids were playing and then a women came over to me (Sarah was trying to get Emily to come down the slide) and said that the play place was closing????For a meeting ? I have never heard of this before.....;But o well I we said and left after we got Emily down (Yes Sarah had to go into the tubes after her) better women then I am! AS we were getting ready to leave I was looking around and all I saw were over weight VERY over weight people! All the managers and higher ups at this meeting were VERY over weight.....Which leads me to believe that McDonald food was making them this way because you know they eat alot of it!
NOW don't get me wrong I am very over weight and I am VERY self conscious of it. But, I have to wonder if I would work in a place like that that had all FAT people working for them...
SO here I am felling uneasy about my lunch choice and I get an email from my dad it is about McDonald and how they had donated money to the national gay and lesbian chamber and how there was a high person on the board to help with future involvements. First of all let me say that I have not found anything really to prove or disprove this BUT I will not eat there until I find out that this is not true. It truly made me SICK to think that I had spent MANY of my hard earned dollars to support this kind of thing!

Feelings~?~!

2008-04-01T21:11:00.002-05:00

I really don't know where to start....
I have been feeling very down lately.
I am so tired I never thought I would ever be this tired! I also really want to help Mike pay the bill in the new house. I also want a break from the kids. Don't get me wrong I love my kids more then life itself and I would do anything for them. BUT I can not keep cleaning up after them. they have NO chores to do. Ever time I give them chore they NEVER do them which really makes me mad and then I just do what ever it is I told them to do! Yes I think this is part of the reason I am so very tired. I feel like I am just getting bigger and bigger I eat and eat because I am unhappy then all the neg. talk comes in and it is a never ending story. I just really don't know how to get help or fix it. I feel like my friends r tired of listening to me and I really don't want to burden them with my unhappiness but I really feel like I need help!!! I really can not but in words how I feel and I know that everyone has felt bad from time to time but, I feel like this is worse....I have very low self esteem and then with the overwhelming feeling of being a bad mother. I just don't know where to turn!
UGH UGH UGH I really don't like feeling like this and I think if i got a better paying job and felt like I was doing something I might feel better....WHO knows I may never feel better...I really wish I had the energy to exercise and diet I would love to be one of those people who could pay someone to hold me accountable for it and training me to eat better and exercise 2 times a day...But they r way to expensive and there is no way we could afford it. I also wish I could get a better job I think if I started working now part time in a few months I could go to full time when Sloan is in Kindergarten. I just hope that the kids and mike start helping around the house....I wish that I could just be a healthy size and not have to worry about what people r thinking of me.
God Bless

HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY SLOANY~

2008-04-01T05:20:00.002-05:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SLOANY!!!

I remember this day five years ago like it was yesterday. I remember dropping savy and sethy off at sarahs and I remember mom walking in the room all fixed up and saying "her we go again!" I remember when dad and pam got there. (They drove all that way just to see his birth) It was an awsome day for sure.
And now 5 years later I would not change it for anything! I love my Sloany. He has such a personality.....I am mommy helper at pre-school today and I got spider-man cup cakes ( that is what I get for waiting to the last minute to buy something. He would have much rather had pirates or cars....O well it will all be ok~
I LOVE YOU SLOANY HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!
LOVE MOMMA

Doctor...

2008-03-31T06:08:00.003-05:00

Why is it that men don't like going to the doctor? Mike has an appt. today at 9am with are new GP she is just going to do a new patient visit and not even really check him. I have already had mine that is how I know. He asks me this morning if I could go with him....I have to shop for Sloany's Birthday I thought I can't go with you!!!! what do you want me to do hold your hand! You big BABY!!! I have never been to the allergy doctor with him but he can't go alone??? I didn't ask for him to go with me when I went! But I will go and then hope I have enough time to shop for Sloan after we get done...

Fencing the dogs in.....I am such a bad mom!

2008-03-28T22:24:00.002-05:00

o my how the days of spring break have flown by I can not believe that there is only 2 more days of spring break. I never really got to sleep in like I wanted to the boys were us so eerily and my room is so bright in the morning....Ugh SO I still feel sleep deprived. Mike and I went to rural king tonight to try to find a piece of fence to keep the dos in a little piece of the back yard. Maggie keep on peeing all over my BRAND NEW house and it is really making me mad! Kate keeps getting out of the fence. She is digging out. Since the ground is so soft from all the rain she gets out in no time! ~ I guess this is something we will have to look into all the different options. Ok I am going to bed now got to get up early to go help with the yard sale.
Night Night
God Bless

Blogging...

2008-03-28T18:00:00.004-05:00

Let me just say that I am so glad that spring is here. BUT, I wish that mother nature would make up her mind....COLD HOT RAIN SHINE WHAT ???? Can we not have a week o whole 7 days of nice warm weather?

Let me just say that I have been reading others blogs almost all afternoon and there are some CRAZIES out there...I just want to have more people commenting on my blog. How come Sarah has so many people on hers and I only have her......I feel kind of silly posting and no one reading it. It is like I am talking to myself....

Sarah is having a yard sale tomorrow and I am going over there to help her. Tim has to work at the Y so I said I would help her....Is that not just so nice of me! I know I know you all wish you had a GREAT friend like me!!! HA HA HA I am so funny.....I am just rambling on now.

I really think that my family needs to limit my time on this crazy computer..........I can not stop.
I have so much to say and I want to just blog and blog but then I get to feeling a little silly since no one ever reads this silly blog.....like I am justifying talking to myself~Like I am not crazy....

Ok Ok Mike wants to go get some chicken wire and so I guess I will get off but I know I will be on latter blogging away!!!

Have A Blessed Nite.

I know that these r not the best pictures of us but I thought I would post them so everone could see the family....

Savy P....

2008-03-27T06:52:00.004-05:00

I always start out with OK but I kind of feel like this is my online journal.....So here goes...

OK....Savy let me tell you how much I love this little girl!!! I love her so very much and I just want her to grow and be a GOD loving, powerful,wonderful women....

Let me just tell you a little about my savy also know as sister.....

The boys r not allowed to call her Savanah she gets mad at them.....REALLY

I will never forget the first time Seth called her Savanah and she was very quick to tell him that was not her name it was SISTER....It was so funny.

My little girl will be 12 in July and she is taller then me and wares a size 10 shoe! So she is not really all that little...I can remember when she was born, I never thought I would ever LOVE someone or some thing as much as I loved her. She was so beautiful.....and still is...She used to look just like me but the more she grows into a women the more she looks like her dad. She acts just like me. Even Mike says this so I know it is not just me thinking this...SO sometimes we fight, well a lot of times we fight but I will ALWAYS love her. She was cursed with her her daddy's and my temper and like me she does not know how to handle it yet...I just hope that as she grows it doesn't get her into trouble like it did me!!!

She is not the smartest girl on the block but as long as she is doing her best that is all I have ever asked of her. She wants to go to USI and be a teacher like her Nettys and this makes me happy...That she already knows what she want to be. She has wanted to be a teacher & go to USI for as long as I can remember...

I know that Savy has been through a lot because her dad and I are not together. I know that she is very hurt by some of the things that happen at both homes and I am truly sorry for that. I wish that we lived in a perfect world but since we don't all I can say is that I love you and I am SO VERY SORRY.!

Savanah's very very BEST friend is Brittany (Sarah's Daughter) Brit is like me in a lot of ways to she is VERY much a people pleaser!!! Savy has know Brit since she was born. They grew up together...I am so glad that she has a life long friend! I know that this friendship will really help her in life and I really love Brit like my own daughter...

I hope that I have been a good mom to her because I have tried very hard. Yes sometimes I am very jealous of her and my moms relationship and she gets the attention that I want....But I really want to be her mom know and be her FRIEND when she gets bigger....I love her so very much. She will tell you that I love Sethy more but that is so not true!!! I love all my chrildren the same.

OK, so it has been a week since I last blogged.
In that week we have been homeless (for just 6 hours). We have bought a new house, and moved r whole house all in one week with it pouring down rain all week! ~ O my it has been a crazy crazy week and BOY am I tired!!! I don't ever remember being this tired! Mike is still moving the stuff from the shed outside but, all the stuff is out of the house! That was the main deal~ Mike says he only has a couple more loads of outside stuff and the gas grill...
Now I am trying very hard to keep the house clean while I organize the house! This tooo is so much fun...You should try it some time....Never mind working 2 jobs...I am just glad that it is spring break now!!
I have decided that it is time for me to get a better paying job since, Sloan will be 5 in 11 days and in Kindergarten next year......SO I am going to take the PARA PRO test. It will allow me to be a teachers assistant in the school system. I feel like this is what the LORD wants me to do...I am very nervous about this test. I bought a book to help me study for it. And I am PRAYING that I pass it the first time~
I am also VERY worried about what Sarah will do to me it I get another job. I love watching Audrey and Emily. I wish I could do both of them....I know that the Lord will work it out for me.
TTFN I am at Sarah's and it is Lunch time.....

Sarah~

2008-03-04T10:29:00.002-05:00

Sarah one of my best friends and the only one that I believe reads my blogs recently BLOGGED about what a great friend I was...NO I am not bragging and NO I don't want you to read it and then tell me how great I am. I just wanted to say that I am not doing anything that I feel she would not do for me. I only have a handful of TRUE friend and by that I mean people I would do anything for good or bad! And she happens to be one of them...She is one of the smartest people I know and I love her and her family so much....I love being with them (it helps that Savy's bffl is her oldest daughter Brit)
It is kinda odd how we met and it is really odd that we have stayed friends for 13 years....
That is a first for me in the friendship dept.....I am just so hard to get along with....Yes like every women I know, I too can be a BITCH sometimes.....I think that is part of the reason I decided to move to Newburgh....and only 10 minutes from her! I wish that we could do more things with her and her husband Tim (who let me add is awesome!!!!) He is so great. I thought Mike was the best husband ever but Tim holds a close 2nd in my book because he cooks and is working 2 jobs to bring home there son from Hati tooo..... I wish that Mike and Tim we as good of friends as Sarah and I. But Mike is not the best with his people skills....Although he is getting better....I love him so much for trying.....

What a week...

2008-02-26T18:53:00.002-05:00

Where do I start.... OK I guess I will start with an update on the house. We are all ready to move just waiting on the man that bought are house to tell us where and when to sign the papers. All the work that needs to be done for are NEW house is done we r just waiting for the man that bought are house.....
This weekend I am going to have an open house at the Jagoe office. It will be from 11-12pm and I hope that I sell some of my stock. It will be at a discounted price....about 40% off witch is a VERY good deal if I do say so myself!
OK Now on to more news Seth is being testing this week. He is having a Complete comprehensive evaluation done. I know that there is something wrong with him but I just don't know what it is. He is so very smart but he has a hard time getting stuff from his brain to paper...I will know how the testing came out on Friday.... And let me tell u who ever is reading this I CAN NOT WAIT!!!! I am at the library as we speak doing research on Autism and ADD/ADHD what it is and what treatments are out there. I am also researching changing my children's diets. There is some info out that says that might help in the aide of recovery (for the lack of a better word)
MOM just called me and said that I was getting some more stock from Grandma Marge (I don't know if I told you or not but she passed away a few weeks ago to cancer....) There was no funeral no nothing!~ Odd I know and it still doesn't feel real....I don't know if it ever will...I don't know what to do with the stock though I don't know how to see if it is growing or anything so I just leave it to make or loss money?
OK Seth just came back here and said he was getting hungry. We r having one of his fav.tonight Chocolate pancakes......
Update more soon,,,
GOD BLESS

2008-01-28T10:27:00.000-05:00

OK so i am here at the library and I am so very stressed!!! I am sick with nervousness......
WE got an offer on the house it was a very low offer and he wants the home warranty and he wants us to pay the closing costs.....SO that means that we would get even less.....I am waiting to see what the house appraised at the Jagoe to see what will be doing I am just praying that it appraised HIGH like 110 witch is what we payed for it!
All else is going Good I just wish that Jagoe would call but they or She doesn't get in till 10am
I HATE TO WAIT!!!!
I will keep you informed!
God Bless

Leaving~~~

2008-01-26T11:16:00.000-05:00

Last night I went to eat dinner with me 86 year old GREAT aunt that has been like a grandma to me and my mom. You see her son in law has decided to move her to Atlanta where her grandchildren & great grandchildren are living. This has been so hard on me and my mom! She has been so close to us the whole time we have lived here. I will miss her so very much! ! ! I can not believe that she will be here any more to call when I have questions about cooking or how to spell a word! GG I just want you to know that you are LOVED and will be GREATLY missed!
Seth had a basketball game at 8:30 this morning....He is getting better now that the season is almost over. Savy stayed with a friend last night. Sloan well he just goes with the flow! ~
We have had a lot of people looking at r house lately....Hopefully we will sell it soon so we can get the NEW Jagoe that we all want. The kids will have to switch schools but we will be in a better school dist. so they will get a better education~ I am just praying that every thing works out money wise in are favor!
Blogg more soon I only have 25 minutes left and I want to check some other things!

life just keeps going ...

2008-01-23T19:05:00.000-05:00

O my where to start! ~ Ok I guess I will start back in Sept. since that is the last time I think I really BLOGGED......We went to Disney and had a good time. It went by really fast thought....There was so much to do and not nearly enough time to do it in...Ok so we get back and life is moving on we r showing the house to move to Alabama.....And with all the fighting that I am doing with Jim Savy is stuck in the middle and her grades are suffering SO, Mike and I decided to stay in Evansville. There are other reasons but that is the BIG factor. Ok October comes and goes with out any big news.....Except the whole computer thing that took FOREVER to fix and then only worked for a few weeks and was acting up again. SO needless to say I canceled my Internet and now I go to the library all most every day to check emails and look at the Internet. Lets see in November we did not go to Alabama this year this is the first year in I think 6 years we have not been there for Thanksgiving and boy was it different to be home....There was no one to carry the packages the day after Thanksgiving shopping and It just didn't feel the same. We went to Aunt Mary Lou's house and it was very odd then mom came over and ate with us. I made the dinner....I was so very proud of myself and it turned out pretty good.~ Ok the whole time we r hoping that r house will sell....It has nothing in it as r realtor has told us to pack up the stuff we r not using....So needless to say it is VERY bare! Ok On to December~ It FLEW by I can not really think of anything exciting to write about that has happened in December besides all the running with the kids for the school party's and such! OOOOO my dad and step mom and all 4 of my sisters came down after Christmas and it was so much fun I really felt like I was a part of a BIG family ~ I love to be around them!
OK now it is January, and Sarah my silly friend who had me start this silly blogging calls. Just to CATCH UP we have not talked in a few months witch we do sometimes but it always seems like we pick right back up where we left off.....OK so she calls and says that she has moved (she was also trying to sell her house) and that she has moved into a new Jagoe house and that Mike and I should come and see it.........Well we did and we LOVED it and now we r doing the TRADE program and getting a BRAND NEW jagoe house just like Sarah. I am so EXCITED I can not wait till the 12th of Feb. That is when r house is supposed to be done.....
~~~~I am having Seth tested for a LD he is having a really hard time in school.....He is playing b-ball 2.
~~~ Sloan is doing ok in school and will be going to Kindergarten next year....
~~~~Savanah is pulling her grades up and I am very proud of her!!!
~~~and I have lost 17pounds since Disney......I know it is not much but 8 of that was just from not eating out the past 2 weeks!
~~~Ask for Mike he is coaching Seth's bball team and working hard......
Well that is it for now WE r just waiting on #'s for the trade program or too see if we sell r house before the new one it done......
O I almost forgot I am going to HAITI. Sarah is adopting a little boy from over there and I am going with her to get him......I can not wait to go~~~It will be my first Mission trip.....I will say I am a little nervous to go but very excited toooo
GOD BLESS
I will blog again soon~
Peace
Nikki
ps~~~ Thank you Sarah for letting me blogg on your computer......I don't like doing it at the Libary with only having an hour, I get very nervous!!!!~~~

life keeps going~

2008-01-16T10:27:00.000-05:00

OK I am so sorry I have not blogged in so long....So much has happened since i last blogged I really don't even know where to start...
I was have computer problems and then got it fixed it was working fine for a couple of week and now it is not working again, So in the mornings after I take Sloan to school I come to the library to get online....I know it is kind of silly when i have a computer but it is saving us money....
We had a great Christmas it went really fast though my Alabama family came everyone except my brother,sister in law and niece...so it was good to get to spend some time with them. We r still tring to sell r house why i don't know because we can not get a loan....I forgot truly forgot to make 2 house payment around the time we were going to Disney and now we can't get a loan! The man (Chris) is going to see if he can try some other things to get us a loan and we r having an open house this weekend in 24 degree weather.....So we will see what happens....OK I only have 48 more minutes on this computer so I am going to go for now but I will keep on blogging a little each day so maybe we can get caught up!
Love ~ Nikki

Life in the fast lane...

2007-10-08T21:28:00.000-05:00

Ok we have been back from Disney for about a month now and I have some how managed to erase my pictures from my camera and I have only saved them to my Kodak picture thing but I can not figure out how to move them to a where i can share them with all of u. I would make everyone a disk of them but....LOST the one disk I had....Yes I have been a little out of it. I do have some family pictures that we had made the last weekend of Sept. there really good of the kids... Ok now for my update on the family...

Savy is failing just about every subject....she is doing a bible study and choir and will have a show at school around the 1st of December.

Seth says he doesn't want to go back to school////There is a teacher there that blows a whistle at lunch and it hurts his ears.

Sloan likes school....and I think it is doing him good I think he is really learning this year...

Mike quit UE when we got back from Disney and got a job on the Thursday before his last day which was a BIG relief for us! He had a week off and we enjoyed being together and he stared

it last week. It is called Ferguson (It's a bath/kitchen supply store...ie sinks and stuff) He is making more money which is a BIG help to us.

We r STILL trying to sell r house.... We r praying it sells soon....

Well I am off to bed....Hope all are doing well~

Love to you all~ God BLESS

PROMISE>>>
Disney was so much fun we all had a GREAT time! We were all VERY tired after we got back home!
We don't know if we r moving now?! I told Mike we would just wait to see where he got a job First and then go there.... (We have found a house in Newburgh we Like) and (we have found one in oak grove we like 2) SO we really don't know what to do.....
I am putting it in the LORDS hands where ever he lets mike get a job that is where we will stay.

Dad called me at about 8:15 this morning and ROCK AND BRIT were on there way to the hospital to have Berkly... I have called him two times once after church and then once about an hour ago and she is still on 1cent poor thing! they r going to start her on platosin I have no idea how to spell that...

2007-08-27T13:22:00.000-05:00

Well he did it! Mike got his CDL lic. today!!!! I am so very happy of him... I can not express how Happy I am.

We went to Alabama this weekend to look for a house and let mike put some apps in and mom watched the kids for us. I am glad that she did it was a BIG help. I had planed on taking them with us but Mom said she would watch them because they didn't need to miss anymore school then they had too.
It was not a "FUN" trip we looked at house on Saturday and found on that we like in the school dist that we want....and Friday mike put in a couple of apps....Sunday we went to church ate lunch and left.. That is it. So the kids would not of have a good time.
We r off to DISNEY this weekend so this will probably be my only post until we get back. I am very busy this week.
GOD is so AWESOME... Even when u think that someone has it in for u he is there and you can cuddle up in his big strong hands and talk to him and he will fix it all...
God bless

HOUSE FOR SALE~~~High School musical 2

2007-08-17T18:19:00.000-05:00

O my this has been a crazy day...
OK Last night I told Seth that we could invite a friend over and have a HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2 party....I was just doing this as a fun thing for a 7 year old to do...I never in my wildest dreams expected so many people to be having a high school musical party...there were hardly any decoration to be found. I did find some plates and I taped the plates up to the walls and the doors....Silly I know but it made my 7 and 4 year old happy... SO mike and I had just gotten done picking up for the big party and 3 ladies came to my door to see the house....O MY!!!
I told them I didn't know that they were coming but i told them it was not CLEAN but that they could come in....They did and I think that they really like it!!! They were in here for quit some time and then they were standing outside looking for about 10-15 minutes...WHO does that if they don't like a house...? So maybe this was it.....Maybe I will or we will get the OFFER we have been waiting for.!.? O my then what would I do move into an apt with all 5 of us!
THAT WILL BE FUN......
I will let u know
God Bless

? ? ?

2007-08-07T11:55:00.000-05:00

Have u ever had things that u wanted to tell people and you just couldn't becasue of one reason or the other.? Well that is me. That is where I am now....There are so many different people that I want to tell things to and I just can't! I can't becasue there not willing to see the reasons why I am doing what I am doing. There are only looking at the negative reasons and not the positive ones which I can understand but look at what i am saying stand in my shoes for a minute. And then judge me!

I want to scream and cry both. I just want to be happy and I want EVERYONE around me to be happy. I want to know what tomorrow will bring and not feel like I am on the edge of a cliff waiting to fall of into GOD only knows what.

OK now on to another matter that has been bothering me. It was brought to my attention that I don't mention my mom enough or at all......THIS WAS TRULY NOT MENT TO HURT ANYONES FEELINGS..... It is not as if I MEANT to not mention it. I was in no way trying to hurt or get back at my mom I love her very much. SO I am now going to talk about her.....

MOM,

My mom is a very unique women she can make people laugh at a momnets notice. She is a likeable person she has a lot of friends.....She is not working now she is taking a much need break. I don't think she needs to work any more but she says she does?

Her and my step-father go to veges around his birthday...that is there big vacation. She stays a week and he stays 2.

She LOVES her grand children very much and I know that they mean the world to her. That is the way it should be....

I don't feel we have a "close" relationship. Yes, we can talk but there are things that I don't feel I can tell her and I know there r things she doesn't tell me. That really bothers me. I wish that one day we could get closer. I don't really feel close to anyone in my family. I don't really know why. There r people that I tell things but no one that I tell EVERYTHING tooo.

O my that was hard to admit...

O I guess I should mention that I am or or I fell the LORD is leading me to MOVE......to Alabama......This was a very hard conclusion to come to and I know that no one will understand it and I wish I could explain it better or in another way but that is all I have~ THAT IS WHERE THE LORD WANTS ME TO BE.....on top of the fact that Mike will be making 3x what he makes here and houseing will be cheaper! I just want to CRY I just want EVERYONE to see that I am NOT going down there just to be with the father who abbanded me....!>!>!>! Even if he were to follow the LORD somewhere else I would STILL yes still want to move down there. I know now that people have to go where there needed to do the LORDS work and no one is ever not supposed to listen to what GOD wants.............

N

AAAHHH...........

2007-08-05T07:58:00.000-05:00

I did not sleep well...I have all this NERVOUS energy....I don't know how to get ride of it. I tried reading my Bible study book....then my bible then I tried walking out side in 100 degree heat. It is still with me. I have so much to say but just can't.......AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH i am nervous,calm,happy,scared,tired,wide awake,overjoyed,sad..... BUT the one thing I am NOT is worried I know that GOD is in control and everything will work out the way he wants it to.
O MY this is an AWSOME feeling. I LOVE the LORD so much and all I want to do is follow him! ! ! ! !
God Bless...

The day start off pretty good we went to WW and I lost 1.4 pds witch I feel was good seeing as I have been busy getting the house ready to sell and not got to work out. Then we went to Lowes and Target to get a few need supplies to finish r projects and then came home to get started. Jim came and got Savy around 12p and then we went to lunch and Kight to see about the door issue and then I got a BAD phone call that I was not expecting today then out of the blue I got the GREATEST phone call ever!

O MY............and then there was life

2007-08-03T21:43:00.000-05:00

OK last Sunday we decided to put are house on the NOT SELLING market. BUT, I am believing that it will sell quickly! SO that is one of the reasons why I have not written in a while. I have been CLEARING THE CLUTTER which is almost everything according to the AWESOME Realtor we have she says that the buyer wants to be able to put themselves into the house when the r looking at it!? and we have to move anyway so why not box up stuff less things for me to do when it does sell....
OOOOOO I also went to the MARY KAY Seminar o my was it awesome it was as close to Hollywood as I will ever get I can not wait to go next year! I don't really want to go on about it because I know that u would all think that it was BORING!!!!
Mom got back from I think it was Mississippi and she says she had a good time. I am glad because she needed a vacation. I love my mom so much...But I worry about here too. I really wish we were closer then we r. I wish we could tell each other things and know that they were not going to be judged! BUT i know that she loves me when she does it....and that is how she was raised. It is just difficult for me sometimes.
Well I am off to bed.....We have a long day of working outside tomorrow.....If anyone is wanting to be outside in the heat they can come and help....WE or I will not turn u away....

MARY KAY

2007-07-09T20:38:00.000-05:00

I am sitting here in a wooden chair that is very hard and painful for my back I am working on my MARY KAY. Successful because I really LIKE this product. I am not just saying that because I am now selling it. I really believe in it. I want this to be my business and I want to make something of my self to show everyone that I am NOT a failure! (WHICH I FEEL LIKE)
I just don't know where to start. ~ I am going to really push MARY KAY after I get back from seminar in a couple of week. I am so excited about going and seeing the MARY KAY plant and museum. I am hoping that I will learn a lot to share with my clients (if i find any). I really can not wait to go to Dallas on the 21st. I will be childless for 5 whole days! Can u believe that. I know I will miss them like crazy but it would do me good to get a break and be able to focus on my MARY KAY. I really have not had the time I need to focus on it yet.
I also would like more space for my computer and office...all my stuff is crammed in to a corner in my bedroom and it is not very big at all. I am very cramped and I keep telling Mike I need more room and he just looks at me like I am crazy. I really love him but he really makes me mad sometimes! Well that is it for now I will post more later~
GOD bless

Happy 4th

2007-06-29T21:43:00.000-05:00

O my heavens I can not believe that I have not posted in almost 2months. So much has happened and I really don't know where to start. Ok I will just go down the list of people and tell ....you that way
Ok OLDEST Savanah~
She is a fifth grader now!!!!! We r so proud of her! She did go to summer school for 2 weeks in June THURSDAY was her last day and she didn't go last week becasue she was in FLORIDA!!!!
She went with her aunts and grandma on her daddys side and from what I can get out of her she had a great time! She will be getting braces on July 20.....She can not wait.....She is Very excited about it?>?>? KID, u gotta love them... OK I think that is all she is doing until August 13.....That is when school starts.
Now on to Seth he is doing MUSIC CAMP and he loves it. It is on FRIDAYS from 9:30-3 and he love it have I said that they go to camp in the am and then they go on a field trip to different places. They will have a program when it is over and EVERYONE is invited!!!!!! He is also taking swimming lessons and play with Cory and Lexi and he is having a blast..... He will be in first grand next year witch will take me a lot of getting used to!
Sloan is doing swimming lesson and he loves them just like Seth they r very brave now in the water! He will start his last year of pre-school in Sept. He will be going to ALDERSGATE.....that is where he went last year! He is getting so big now he is really into SHERK~
OK I guess I am to me now I am still working one day a week but I started a new business ...I am selling MARY KAY..... it has not been going THAT well but I am hopping that when the kids start back to school I can spend more time doing it and it will grow!
I am going to TEXAS for seminar July21-27 I had to beg to go so I hope it will be fun!
Now LAST but not least...Mike he is trying to get his CDL lic. and the poor guy....can not get a brake. He is going to take his driving test again soon. He had to take 2 different test 5 times and he took is drive test yesterday and failed it so he is going to try again but this test cost 100$ a time so I don't think he will be taking it to many more times.....He is so ready to get out of UE.

Bowl of Cherries~~~

2007-05-10T21:36:00.000-05:00

Well it is 9:36 and I am still up. Imagin that. I am hardly ever up this late but so many GREAT things have been happening around me that I can not sleep. I know it has been about 3 weeks since I last blogged and I know that u r all wondering what have we been up to. Had we all fallen off the face of the earth. NO, We have just been very busy with church choir (last sunday) Thank heavens that is over it was getting old taking savy to church and back 2 times a week not to mention my bible studys out there~ Mike said with gas prices I should just rent a cot out there. Savy has been having alot of soft-ball games about 2 a week and then she has bible study and Seth has been having 2 soccer games a week (that will be over in about a week) thank heavens. Savy's soft ball doesn't end till the 13th of July and then sloan has 2 t-ball games one in may and one in june. I will be happy when we can just chill at home for a full day~ But I don't see that happening any time soon~ Maybe we will get one day this summer. I hope any way!
Ok I am still tring to get the house ready to sell. we r packing up stuff we don't need right now. Trying to fix things and Rodney ( my step-father) is going to paint the WHOLE house for us which is a BLESSING because neather mike nor I really enjoys painting. We r looking for a house a little cheaper then the one we have now and a little bigger. We would also llike to stay in Hebron school district so Savy doesn't have to change school for 5th grade. We know we will have to get a fixer uper and put some money into it but we r willing to do that if we can just find a house we can afford. We have found one tonight that I am going to call r realtor about tommorow ( it seem like it is too good to be true) I think it is GOD answering my prayers~ and we can afford it also.
Only 9 more days of school left for savy and seth......What more can I say about that:]

Ok I guess it is on to me. Where do I start I feel like i have been through so many changes in the past few weeks most of them this week~ > SO hold on here we go this is going to be a wild ride~

I had a Mary Kay party a few weeks ago for a friend of mine who had just started in Mary Kay and she was trying to do 30 faces in 30 days. I felt like I could help her so I invited all the people I thought would come and almost all of them came. I had been to 3 party's for Karen as she was just using Andrea and I as her models to practice on. But I started using the product and I really like it it really made a difference in my skin! At my party Karen (My Mary Kay consultant) asked if I wanted to go to a meeting with her on Monday I said sure I got a free product for doing this and I am all about free~ It was just like a part in the beginning there were about 8 women there all brought by different consultants and we all did glamour. We then went in with the ladies that brought us and Michael had warned me that they would try to get me to sell this Silly MARY KAY stuff. Well.......... after a lot of research I can not find any reason to Not sell Mary KAY. SO, YES I am going to be a Mary Kay consultant~ Can u believe that. They show u how to do teach you how to make contacts and I don't really see how I can loose in this. Yes we will be out a little bit of money but I feel like this is the way GOD is wanting me to go~
OK now on to the really BIG thing that happened to me just last night..........I know this Blog is VERY long but keep reading it gets so much better!
Yesterday afternoon I went to Karen's house to "TALK" about thinks I have been doing this for about 3 Tuesdays now I know yesterday was Wed. Karen couldn't do it yesterday so we did it Wed. after I took Seth to school. Karen had prayed about r time together and decided that we should do I study together. We r doing Experiencing GOD. SO we were talking about the book,GOD, Mary Kay, My family and hers. I shared with her how this book had really moved me but I was still longing to feel like i had a LOVE relationship with the LORD. She told me to keep moving on the path I was on and it would happen one day~ I left with hope that one day I would have a loving relationship with the LORD. I just prayed it would be soon........
That night Savy had a game. I was trying to do my bible study at the ball field but could not really concentrate so i put it up and did it last night after Seth and I watched the finial cut on bravo (it is a hair cutting show) after I was done one of the last few questions was something about pray that the Lord will pull something out of today's lesson for u~ WELL BOY did he I have never done this before in previous lessons I felt like the lesson for the day was enough. BUT last night something in me [GOD] told me to pray to ask for every think I wanted from him [GOD] and as soon as I started to pray tears flowed down my face like never before~ the whole time I was praying I was crying......After I got done I felt SO at peace with everything...TRULY everything.....I was not worried about anything I now know that everything I do I have to do for GOD to please him and he will lead me through anything I just have to trust in him. It may not work out the way my flesh wants it to but it will work out that God wants it to. I was telling Karen about it today and she said that I was different she could tell that I was different~
What more is there to say~ but GOOD NIGHT~
GOD BLESS
~N~

ps~ I am registering Mike for CDL school tomorrow if u could PLEASE pray for him to do well in this class. Thanks in advance!

FYI

2007-04-27T08:47:00.000-05:00

Hey,

GOD bless

2007-04-16T09:56:00.000-05:00

I know it has really been awhile since I posted last. I am truely sorry. I have been crazy busy. Savanah is in 2 choirs and playing softball and Seth is playing soccer and sloan and i just go along for the ride. Sloan is supposted to be playing t*ball but it is on 2 times?. and I still have yet to her from a coach.
Mike and I have start the ball rolling on the moving thing I know we move alot but we just can't find the perfect house for us and this one is WAY to small. We call a realator on Monday and she can by on Thursday and told us we needed to paint the whole house and pack up as much cluter as we could. This in it self is very overwelming not to mention that the kids can't pick up after themselfs and so that make this even more of a chore.....SO if anyone wants to help with this project feel free to come help!
Seth turned 7 on Saturday and if I never here " WELL, I AM THE BIRTHDAY KID" again it will be to soon. He really wore that out! Now we don't have another Birthday till JULY so I can start Saving for Savys I POD she wants~
Well that is really all we r doing right now nothing exciting~ We r always busy running from here to there and I will be glad when school & sports are over so I can get some rest.
ONLY 6 more weeks~>~>~>~>~>~
God BLESS

2007-04-01T22:08:00.000-05:00

Spring Break...

2007-03-31T11:13:00.000-05:00

OK... So i know that u all r dieing to here about Rock and Brittany's wedding. It was Awsome. The make such a cute couple! They went to Hawaii for there honeymoon. They left last Sunday and will return tomorrow. I know that they had a great time. The trip was way to short for us because we didn't really get to visit with anyone besides Olivia. I understand though I never thought we would be able to visit any.~ It was a short sweet weekend.
Now on to spring break week......I think that I just spent toooo much time with my kids there really getting on my nerves I think with the wedding trip and then a week of togetherness is just to much.....For the most part we have had a good week we went to the children's museum (don't waist your money) and the kids have been playing outside because it has been BEAUTIFUL here.....
Tomorrow is SLOAN's birthday he will be 4 gosh i can't believe that he is that big! We have a big day planed church, build a bear,pizza,cake that is what he wants to do and it is his day so that is what we will do.
Savy starts softball on Monday.....I hope that she learns something this year. It is just a game after all. I think she would be good if she would stop trying to please her dad.
Seth peter start soccer on the 5Th and his first game is the 9Th kinda of fast i know but i don't think they thought they were going to have such a good response to the boys spring soccer. There games are even on Mondays because there is no where for them to play on the weekend.
as for mike and i we r doing good his mom's house went on the market 2 Tuesdays ago & sold on Monday~ WHAT A MIRACLE~~~ This will all be over soon.
GOD BLESS~

WHATS NEW....

2007-03-14T15:31:00.000-05:00

My life is so much more at ease now that I am working less. Yes, we r hurting money wise but I feel so much better about life as a whole. I am so excited about going to Alabama next week and seeing my family there. I hope it will be a good time. I know that my dad and Pam will be busy doing wedding things but, I hope that I get to see my sisters a little~ the week after that is spring break for us and I was going to take my kids to the new children museum here in town. I know that that is not a lot but after are BIG weekend I think it will be enough!~
I know that this is all very boring to u but~ that and bible study is all I am really doing now.
I help my daughter with her homework now She got 3 A's on her report card!!! WAY TO GO SAVY ! I am ever so proud of her. Seth is doing good in school as well he got all check marks. But he is just in Kindergarten. I know it is hard for him so I am proud of him also. Sloan and I r spending a lot of time together as I took him out of school for the rest of the year. I was not really looking forward to the mom Sloan time but, I will say I have been VERY pleased with him he has been so good. I feel as if we r really bonding. As for the house keeping part of the whole "if you let me not work as much i will keep the house clean and the laundry done".....WELL, I am still working on that one....But all in all I am loving not working as much i think it just got to be way to much for me. But now I am feeling much better. Don't get me wrong I in no way am saying I want to work like I was with kids at home. BUT, I feel my calling in life is to work with little children. I am wanting to work in a preschool or grade school and teach or be an assistant for K-2 grades. I get so much joy out of seeing the kids in Seth's class when i go to help them read.~Hope u all have a great week....Talk to U soon
God Bless

GOD is great~

2007-03-13T14:57:00.000-05:00

I have to tell u all about this becasue it shows just how WONDERFUL the LORD is~
Ok Saturday night we went out to my great aunts for dinner and then we wnet to washington square mall to see COCO the Colon~ (Yes is is a real colon). It was savy seth mom and I. We walked around for a little while but there was not much in the mall to see that was still open. SO we left mom called Rodney (her husbad) to see what he wanted for dinner. I said " I am not going all the way back to McDonalds) for him.....THEN ~ ~ Out of the blue BANG!?!?!? I had hit a parked car when I was pulling out......I was so upset~ I felt sick inside> Savy started crying and saying it was all her fault. Mom and I sat there for about 5 minutes then we left we didn't want to get blamed for something I didn't do~ Mom called Rodney and he said I needed to go back in case they had a sec. camera so we went back and the DR that was driving the car was out~ YES I said DOCTOR he was from Mexico and was there with COCO. I made mom get out and talk to him~ He said " it is rented a car and I have insurance on it. NO WORRIES~" Here I am worried sick that it is going to be some but head and the LORD gave me this VERY nice man~ He could have given me someone who was going to yell and place blame and he didn't~ SO the devil thought he had won when we left for BUT God won in the end~ AMEN TO THAT~

IN A ...

2007-03-02T10:05:00.000-05:00

HELLO again~
Well other then being sick and having an awful cough I think I have had a pretty good week. I got to talk to my cousin (KIMBER) that i have not talked to in a long time. I am just so busy these days and when I get home all I want to do is crash. Watch some TV and go to bed.
I very seldom make dinner for my family that is how lazy I have gotten I really need to get out of this funk I am in. I know I have gained some weight over the winter. BUT, who doesn't I just am in this very BLAA place unsure about alot of things. And.....I guess it is making me want to sleep & eat because I am depressed...BUT why am I depressed......I wish I knew
I know that I need to get my act together...But I just don't have the energy. I need to clean my house, do laundry, start making health meals, exercise but I just don't have the ENERGY to do any of this......WHY~ WHY do I not want to do what I know I should be doing for my family......I feel as if I am failing as a wife,mother and person engeneral~
Maybe it is SATIN attaching me maybe if I push through it even though I am tired I can get through it~ I will just keep praying and I know the LORD will give me some wisdom!
GOD BLESS

My Week~

2007-02-26T15:59:00.000-05:00

OK this will probably be the only time this week that I blog not unless I get some free time at night. I have been SICK! So, sick I went to the Doc. and I really don't like doing that~ He said I had the begging signs of TMJ and to get a mouth piece.....He also told me to take mucinex and sudafed......WHATEVER~!~!~! I wanted drugs to make me feel better. I have such a busy week this week and we need to have the repair man come to fix the drier and I have no time for him to come because they only work my neighbor hood in the MORNINGS~ and I will be gone every morning this week. SO, if I can't find someone to come when there here I guess we will be hanging r close to dry for a while.
Now that the kids r gone let me just grip about them for a moment.....Sloan r youngest is very set in his ways and he only does what he wants to do when he wants to do it! This is really getting on my nerves I guess since I don't feel good and I want him to do it my way NOW! Seth the middle child has started to change for the worst since starting Kindergarten~ I say this happen with my oldest Savanah who is now in the 4th grade and is start to go through womanly changes!~ THIS is a very trying time for us as well. I know that her body is changing and she doesn't really know what or how to react for that matter & I am truly tryng to be kind to her but trust me it is VERY hard. SO I guess it has been a very hard few months with the kids for me I know. I am starting to spend more time with Sloan because I took him out of school on Wed. so now he only goes on Tues/Thurs. and Seth is not really listening and Savy with all her issues (BOY no wonder I am so tired) I guess that is it about the kids~
We registered Savanah for Softball this weekend. I think she really enjoys it and she is good at it when her dad is not there yelling at her. We registered Seth for Soccer and they said that they didn't know if they were going to have enough boys to form a league so they would call us if they did~ He really need the exercise so I hope that they do. I also Signed Sloan up for T*Ball this should be a fun SPRING~ I think we r always busy......but such is life with kids.
God Bless

A little about everything...

2007-02-22T11:21:00.000-05:00

OK so I guess I am not getting any better at updating this web page or BLOGGING more. Hey at lest I blog once a week that is good for me!
Well I just found out this week that Rock and Brittany r going to have a baby.~ I am Very happy for them because they were told that they didn't have to marry to have the baby and there doing it anyway they say that is what they want. I really feel like they bring out the best in each other. I am just wondering about my children~ how will this effect them. Since this baby will be there with my dad and step mom and it will be there FLESH and BLOOD grandchild~ I know that this is just satin talking but I can't help to wonder? Will they still love my kids as much as they do now~ I love my family in Alabama SO VERY much and I hope that they feel the same about me but I always wonder if when we leave they say "THANK GOODNESS, THERE GONE!" and then we don't have to see them for awhile~ They say that they still want us to move down there but really could you see them saying NO we don't want u anymore~ I am sure that this is all in my head and that they really don't feel this way at least I hope that they would say something if they did.~ I wish I could get up the courage to talk to them about it but I know I never will~
OK on to my family~
Seth is going to play soccer he says he wants too again~ so we said fine and then Sloan is going to play T-Ball for Holy Rosary it is just 2 times and the man I talked to said that that was enough for his I agree...BUT I know my son and he will want to play every weekend~
As for Savy she is in school choir,church choir and does bible study on wed. nights~ She said she might play softball but doesn't' know yet~
I am staying very busy with the kids and Mike is mike!~ Gotta LOVE him.
We r having r 6 year anniversary on Friday, I never thought we would be married this long!
We have been together 8 years now~ WOW that is long time~
OK off to get lunch for the boys.....
GOOD BLESS

Exercise the body and mind

2007-02-18T17:27:00.001-05:00

Well we did it~ We bought A treadmill we had been looking at them for sometime and we bought one today after Church. SO no more excuses for me I guess. No more it is too cold to go to the gym! I have a gym in my garage. I am kinda excited about it but I am wondering if it will be a wast of money for us. U see last year this time we bought an elliptical because I had to have one it was a cheaper one but none the less it was costly and it has only been used a few times~ It is so different then the one at the gym. SO pray for me that I grow some will power to walk everyday! THEN maybe I will loose a few pounds!
OK on to the next thing I would like to talk about. My dads church is now online. This makes me so happy because I love the men that speak at his Church. I know I am partial because my dad is one of them but I think that they really get the message across! I listened to dads sermon today and it really moved me! If u get a chance click on the link and listen for your self!
GOD BLESS

2007-02-18T17:27:00.000-05:00

Church~

2007-02-18T09:48:00.000-05:00

I really enjoy going to Church on Sundays. I love going to my bible study. But I wonder if I am worshiping the "CHURCH & the classes I take" more then the LORD. I heard Joyce Meyers say this week on her show that we need to stop just going to church and really go to worship the Lord and include him in your everyday life! This really got me to thinking. I do listen to christian music and I do try to be a good christian but I hardly ever read my bible unless I am doing homework for my classes. I never study it on my own. I know that I love the LORD but I feel like there is more that I could be doing to really get to know him. (That was my new years resolutions) I feel like there is more out there then what I have with him!~
God Bless

FAT~

2007-02-17T21:06:00.000-05:00

I know it has been a few days since I have blogged and I know that you r over Michael's birthday. But I really don't know what to blog about~
Last night was "date night" and Mike and I got to go out by r selves and we took the kids to Allders gate so that they could play with there friends. Savanah said she didn't really want to go but I said she had to so that mike and I could be alone and the was the end of it~ She ended up having a great time and didn't want to leave when we left.
The only thing I can think about is my weight!~ Every time I have to go to Alabama that is all that I think about until I go! And when i am there it consumes me. You see my sisters and brother step-mom and dad r all very thin and we r all FAT! I know the LORD loves me this was so I too should Love me but it is so hard. I was reading a magazine this week that said that and it is so true it is a AWFUL cycle.....Feel bad-eat- feel bad for eating-eat-and around and around we go! This is so true. I just wish I could STOP. I am a addict but to food and how do u just stop eating?
I was going to try to lose weight for the wedding but then I rethought all that and decided against that, because that would mean I would have to have will power & we all know that I have NONE!
I will try to blog more~ this week.
Talk to u soon
God Bless

Birthdays~

2007-02-13T08:27:00.000-05:00

Today is Mike's birthday...and no matter what I do or give him he NEVER seems to REALLY like it or get excited about it. This in turn makes me upset as I feel like I can not please him. I got him sears gift cards and cup cakes from Starbucks. BUT I know how he will act- he will say thanks and that he liked it but he will not act as such! I am sure that this has something to do with the different times we were raised in but i have told him this hurts my feeling and I would think that he would change to make me happy!~ But every holiday it is the same thing-
Just had to let that out. Thanks for listening!

~N~

And so what...

2007-02-11T19:06:00.000-05:00

I realize that it has been a while since I have "BLOGGED". I really didn't know what to write for a while and then when I thought of something I really just didn't want to talk about it~
I really feel like Satin is attaching me why I am not really sure yet but I am trying to find out. it is partly because the sun has not been out for days and it is VERY cold here so when I don't have to be out I don't get out.~ ~
Well, 2 weeks ago Mike and I decided that I would quit my job I work at fitness world at the front desk and fill in in the nursery when needed. We had talked about me getting a job and working full time as a teachers assistant helping with children with learning disabilities. Which I believe that that is what the Lord is calling me to do. I still feel that that is what the Lord is wanting me to do but, I don't feel that right now is when he wants me to start. I feel as if he wants me to get to know HIM better!
I am really trying to get to know him and to change the ways I do things to the way he would do thing.
So, I talked to Andrea (she makes the schedule at work in the nursery) and then to Alicia (my boss) and I will be staying on at fitness world. I don't know for sure if this is what HE wants me to do or not but I needed a job and the situation came about that I could work one day and one night in the nursery and be the on call person so I took it. I really don't think this is where I will be for too long but until we decide if we r moving.....Which I think we r really leaning towards now~
The sermon in church was about moving past your fears to get to what GOD wants u to do. I really think that this is what and where he wants me to be and do~
I guess I will find out in the next couple of months~~~~
God Bless

Mike has been working at The University of Evansville for about 6 months now. He works on the grounds crew. He worked at a local tire company mounting tires for about a year and then decided that was enought of standing in one spot doing the same thing day in and day out, So he saw that UE was hirering for the grounds crew and applied and got hired on the spot. Before he worked at the tire place he worked at UE for a year. SO, it really was not hard for him to get on and he new most of the people he would be working with. Before he worked at UE he Owned and ran One of the Shell gas stations in town. It was a family owned business that he was buying with his brother from his dad. His dad was to help him run and take over the station and then retire when he felt that he had tough his boys all that he know. BUT, as u know things don't always work out the way we plan....His dad found out in Sept. I think it was of 2000 that he had cancer and would be dieing soon! Needless to say this was very hard on all the the family since I had just come into the family at this time I really didn't know Don Sr that well but what I did know of him was that he was a very kind and loving man. They thought that the could give him medican and he might get better but he didn't he passed away a little over a month later. This was VERY hard on MIKE and his mom. Of course she did not want to lose her husband. Now Mike was faced with running the business basically on his own his brother had another business to run that Don Sr had started for him. Mike is always trying to please and wanted to make everyone happy so he would try to do what his mom said what his brother said and what I said! ~~ This took a big tole on him and he had a nervous break down from all the pressure. I tried to support him and help him though this but, we ended up separating he moved home and I was left alone while he "figured things out". after 3 months we decided to give it another try and work on are relationship. It was not easy by any means we had both been hurt by what was said...But we sold the house we were in and STARTED OVER... And we have been happy ever since...yes, we have had a few bumps in the relationship but he has not moved out. Which is good for us.
That is why he has gone through so many job...He just can't figure out what it is he wants to do....He likes his job now at UE but, it is not the best paying job there is...I just pray that he can figure out what it is that the LORD put him on earth to do...
God Bless
