The Christmas season is here!

2009-12-16T03:08:00.004-05:00

My kids really can clean up!

Up to some good

2009-10-27T02:35:00.004-04:00

Alright I know I haven't blogged in sometime. So here goes nothing.. Things have been pretty busy around here. Where do I start? I just started selling Lia Sophia! I wasn't really planning on it but as you all may have noticed I do things on the spur of the moment. I booked a show off a friend and I always like to try to book to help out so I did. Well I had my show and my sales was over $700 and I never do that good. So I ended up with getting almost $300 dollars in free jewelery which is so awesome! So the lady that did my show showed me what she would make off my party and I wanted to make that kind of money for and hour or two a night. Easy money I thought so here I am today! So fare so good. So my goal is to be as successful as all the other women I have met that sell Lia Sophia. So wish me luck on my road to a new future!
Chandler just finished up with soccer for the season. He was so excited that daddy coached again. They did pretty well and I am proud of him. His grades are doing good but he could use a little improvement. I like to see only A's and B's,but we are not hard on him about C's.
Preston is playing his last game for the season this week,so that is almost over. I'm kind of glad since it took up a lot of time in the week and makes for a hectic schedule. He did play very well and I hope he plays next year. His grades have been good also and I am so proud of him. He has grown up so fast in the last year. Some of the things that come out of his mouth these days just crack me up. But what can I say that's Preston for ya!
Felecity is loving school finally, we were a little worried the first couple of days. She said she didn't like getting up early. That girl loves he sleep that's no lie! As far as her grades go they only get checks and minus's so far so good.
Aurora well wait for it IS FINALLY POTTY TRAINED! Sorry I am just really proud of her. She decided one day it was time. She wears the normal undies too not the pull up's. Saves money for us too. After she is done she even washes her hands. In my opinion at the age of 2 1/2yrs old is pretty damn good!
Trinity is doing good and catching on fast. She already is a jabber box,not that you can understand her though. She was a late walker though, that really kind of had us worried for a while but then one day she decided to take off. Now she is going strong. I think a lot might have had to do with her brothers always doing everything for her. As of now she still only has two teeth with 6 ready to come thru at any moment!
My Niece Jazmyne has been living with us for a while now and will be here til at least after Christmas. Long story and nothing I need to talk about on here. It's been a little different with dealing with a teenager but I think I'm getting some practice for when my kids are that age. One good thing is they havn't really pulled some of the things she has with us. So I guess I better consider myself lucky. She's a good girl just needs someone to give a damn! She has been thru so much in the last year and I hate seeing her go thru everything but my hands are tied. The attitude is getting better too the longer she is here. I just hope that whatever happens we have givin her a few lessons learned and those lessons lead her to a wonderful future.

Just a Rant

2009-06-05T07:07:00.004-04:00

Ok well I'm sitting here in my room listening to how fast these idiots drive past my house! I know it's a busy road but come on how fast do you have to go? The speed limit is 25 through here and I know most people are going 45 or 50 and faster!There is also a children at play sign just down the road before our house. Yes I'm the one giving all the ones speeding by dirty looks and if they have there window down I'm yelling at them to slow down. I have kids and I plan to keep them safe.I just don't know what I can do about it other than yell and shoot dirty looks all the time. What happens if these idiots lose control and end up in my front yard? We use our front door when we get home everyday. Most of the time if we are outside we are out back but occasionally we like to sit out front on the porch and enjoy the weather. Just the other night there was a wreck up the road and someone went off in someones front yard and hit a tree. that very easily could have been our front yard and we were just a minute past when this happened going out front to get in the van to leave. this was a rant I wanted to get off my chest! There has got to be something else I can do!!

Karma

2009-04-22T19:06:00.002-04:00

I was just thinking how Karma works and I so bleave in it! I love to hear people sit and bragg about what they have and how much money they make etc.. I just sit back and think and think to myself Karma's a bitch! I mean really why bragg? I know of several people that didnt grow up with much as a kid and now they have this need to brag about everything they have. They way i see it is you had nothing as a child so why in the world would you act like your better than others by bragging. I just makes you look selfish really! At some point in your life it will come back to bite ya in the ass. You don't see me everytime I have something new I have to bragg to all my friends that I got it. I just let them figure it out on there own. I mean really it's selfish! I know of several people that act like this all the time! really think about it the guy down the street who braggs all the time he got a new toy or a new vehicle and every time he gets something new or a raise he has too bragg. Then one day he's loosing his job and the bragging stops. I just thought I would write about it! Let everyone know how I feel. I'm not saying i'm not happy for them but is there really a neeed to bragg about it!

Whoa! Momma!

2009-04-21T12:47:00.006-04:00

OK it's been a while I admit it!
Things have been so busy lately my head is spinning. We have three birthdays coming up within days of each other and I am not even ready! I need to have a yard sell to get ride of the crap I have accumulated the past couple years that I no longer use.
Easter went OK for the most part, besides Chandler busting his lip open and gushing blood all over his outfit! They all looked great and had so much fun!I couldn't get aurora in but one picture and that one didn't turn out so well!
Aurora was so cute to watch as she would find her eggs. We went to a hunt one day and she was so pissed when she would go after one another little kids would grab it up. You just had to be there. Felecity only got 3 eggs at that hunt but wouldn't show us her eggs till later. We later found out she had a winning egg and won a wagon! She was so excited but didn't want her brothers to play with it cuz they will get it dirty and make it rust. She's very opinionated just like her momma!
It's mushroom season again and we have went a couple of times. The kids love it and to tell ya the truth I wouldn't find many if Preston wasn't with me. They go up and down those hills like monkeys! Aurora cracks me up when we help her pick one. She gets this funny smile and laughs so evil! We have found a few. I didn't go last night since I decided to fall down the stairs on my butt with baby in my arms. She is OK! I made sure it was me who got all the damage! My butt is prolly gonna be bruised good and so is my arm where I attempted to grab the rail to catch myself! But on the bright side of things they brought me home a bag of mushrooms!

M.I.A.

2009-03-25T17:47:00.002-04:00

I know i have been M.I.A. in the blog world for a while. I have been so busy that i barely have time to pee. Work is good. The kids are finally adjusting to the new school. Grades are are better than were at the beginning of the new year at their new school. The kids are growing like weeds. Chandler will soon be 8 and Preston 7. Felecity 5 and Aurora is going on 2. Sometimes I wish they would just stay babies. Like the other day I told Felecity thanks "Sweet Pea". She looks at me and says "I'm not your Sweet Pea I'm Daddy's Sweet Pea". She just tells it like it is!
We just recently lost our White boxer Rebel. I took him to the vet since he wasn't eating and they took xrays and found two pacifiers and a kids sock. They did surgery and got it out, well he still wasn't doing good so the did another surgery and dint make it. I was so upset. He was such a good dog! Well we were not planning on it and just got a new pup on Saturday. He's so cute i couldn't pass him up. Other than that that's what has been going on in my neck of the woods.

2009-01-08T01:56:00.002-05:00

latly things have been so hectic. we finally got moved after thanksgiving. we kept the kids in the same school till after christmas and then switched them. they seam to enjoy it there. the kids love the new house. so much more room and a bigger yard. lots of room to ride thier fourwheelers and new dirtbike dad insisted on buying them. we still dont have the yard fenced like we planned. its going to take a while to get everything done we plan to.
work is ok. finally getting less hours. its hard to keep up with the house and the kids with working the hours i have been. hubby has been getting upset about my hours too. so hopefully i can get more done around here. i got a lote of painting to do.

wow have i been busy!

2008-11-11T16:09:00.000-05:00

Things have got so busy. Since our new baby things have gotten busier everday!
Well where do I start?
Well I sold my truck! Yeah I know, I didn't think I would ever get rid of that thing. I miss it of course but I just wasn't driving it enough sucr the baby was born and we can't fit into it as a family anymore. We did get a new van though. It's nice but just not the same as the truck.
I got a new job also. It just kinda happened wasn't really looking. I just happened to be in there on day and made a comment on the beeping noise. Well she handed me an app. And I was called a few days later. I got the job and it's part time but gets me out of the house a few times a week. So far I like it! I have only been there for a couple weeks. I enjoy the customers and have seen a few people I have not Seen in a while so that is kind of nice.
The biggest thing we have been up to latley is buying a house. Yes we Finnaly found it.It's in the school district we were looking for and big enough for our family. We are so excited! I just am not looking forward to the whole packing and moveing part. We have a lot of stuff so it's gonna be a long weekend when we move. We are hoping to be moving thanksgiving weekend. They are pushing to get us in by then. .
We are finally done havein kido's too. A couple of weeks ago the hubby had the snip snip. So we are for sure done this time.
Trinity is doing great and growing like a weed. She is now almost 3 months now! It seams like just yesterday we brought her home.
Chandler has been having a little behavior problem latley so we have been trying to figure that out. He's been lieing and hiding from us in public etc. So if ya have some ideas that may help let me know.
Preston got strait A's on his report card last gradeing period and the 2nd on is about to come out. So we will see what this one is like.
Felecity is going to preschool now and doing good. She seams to like it but some days just doesn't want to do anything. She is acting like me more and more everyday.
Aurora is growing fast and is getting crazy everyday.she is a very busy girl and mean as ever.
I'll try to get on here a little more often and keep this up to date.we are going to be busy moving soon so it may not be too soon.

my birth story

2008-08-29T16:26:00.000-04:00

I was awaken about 6am august 15th. It started with sharp pains I just new were not the normal braxton Hicks contractions. The hubby got up and went to work. I just layed there trying to go back to sleep but couldn't so I eventually called hubby to come back home so we could head to the hospital. We arrived at to hospital the nurse checked me and said I was still dilated the same as in the doc's office. She then asked if I would allow a cath. I refused so she just had me pee in a cup. She thought my pain was a urinary tract infection. It of course wasn't. She then made me walk for a while. My back was killing me so we went back to my room. A little while later I threw up. She then came in and said well maybe it's that flu that is going around. Hubby at this point was like "yeah that's it".
We were then told to wait till the doc came in to check me and see what he said. He came in later and right before he checked me the nurse said "you don't want to deliver today we are too busy" the doc asked a few questions and then checked me. He looked up at the nurse and said "she's in labor" I was four.
As soon as they got a empty room they moved me and I waited for my labor to progress. Later out me on an IV of pit to speed up my labor. The doc came in later to break my water. Hubby then asked if it was too late to get pain meds since I didn't have a epideral. They give me some morphine to help take the edge off. By the way I don't think helps much. Well I went really fast from there and was ready to push in no time. They kept telling me to wait but it was not easy. I finally told them she was coming and the doc came in and she was right there ready to come out. I pushed and she was óut in one push. Doc tried to stop me after her head was out but there was no stopping.
She didn't cry when she was born and I knew something was wrong. Everyone was telling me she was ok but I knew better. They were doing CPR on her and smacking her face is what hubby later told me. They got her breathing but she was on oxygen. They rushed her off to the nicu. I later was told she got some of the morphine that I Had because I went so fast. She did finally start breathing better on her own after that but later jaundice was the problem so she had to stay over at the nicu till her levels where better. We did finally get her home on Sunday.
She has been doing well and is a very good baby. She is used to the noise so is able to sleep well. Well that's what it or at least all I can think of.

Trinity

2008-08-24T01:51:00.000-04:00

Ok she's finally here! I had her Aug 15th at 11:15pm. She was 8lb14oz and 20 1\2 inches long.
She still isn't home yet but hopefully soon. I'll will write more about why and the whole birth story later.
I know it's been a while since I have wrote on here. We have been so busy. We got a new puppy today. The kids are so excited they named her Dixie. The other dogs took to her well so that was good.
The kids have got to spend a lot more time with daddy than the are used to lately since he took this last week off work while I have been driving back and forth to see the baby! I don't know what Aurora is gonna do when daddy goes back to work. They have played none stop!
We now are looking for a new van since our's blew a head gasket. Hubby thought about fixing it but is kinda wanting to take the easy way and buy a new one. So we will see what happens.
The boys are back in school and they love it! Weird kids huh?
Well next time I'll try and tell about how things went with the birth and after!

2008-07-31T19:51:00.000-04:00

Ok well I went to the doc on Tuesday. I am dialated and he said the baby is at 8lbs. Hopefully soon baby will be here. I got most everything ready that I think I may need. Havn't got any diapers since our last baby started off in size 1's. We have been slowly getting ready for the kids to go back to school. I,m ready for the break too.
We did get most of that tree cleaned up from our backyard. So things are falling together for now.

catchin ya up!

2008-07-27T03:41:00.000-04:00

Well latly time has flown by. Soon the baby will be here and the house will be rockin with 5kids 3 and soon to be 4 dogs. People are gonna think it's a zoo. The boys are ready for school to be back in. For right now they love school. Felecity was hoping to go but was out on a waiting list. I shouldn't have much to worry about though since she is so smart. Aurora is as mean as ever and walking but not a pro yet. She has got more teeth and eats a ton.
we now have half a tree to cut up in our backyard and the other half will be coming down soon before it falls on the house. We got Lucky that the tree fell the other way then the house when we had a bad storm Monday night. Other people were not as lucky as they had more damage.
I did manage to get my hair colored again did it with hubby's help of course. What more can I ask for? He treats me well. Well that's all I can think of for now!

times fly's when your having fun!

2008-07-18T04:33:00.001-04:00

Not that I have really had too much fun ,but not too bad. Things have been good for the most part. The fourth was great! We went to hubby's boss's house like we have for several years now. Lots of fun like always and the kids always love going and eating a ton.
Felecity had her dance at the park but didn't do anything but tap her foot the whole time. She did dance at her recital a week later. I was so proud! She looked so grown up! It brought back so many memories of when I danced when I was younger.
We are still sort of looking for a bigger house. I'm pretty sure the one we tried to get and was hoping was still forsale later is now sold! So that kinda of sucks! I guess there is prolly a reason for it. But it still makes me sad. There should be other houses too with the market the way it is I'm sure we will find something.
The baby's arrivall is getting closer. Yeah I'm not prepared at all. Still no baby bed. Havn't even got the newborn clothes back out yet. Have no newborn diapers yet. No backs packed but I'm sure the hubby can get that if need be. He should be a pro at what I need for my stay by now! I think the baby maybe here a little sooner than expected too. I could be wrong but I feel like it's close. I just hope she comes when she's good and ready and not too early. We want her to be healthy.
I'll try to post àgain soon so these don't get to long and boring. Ü have just been so busy.

times fly's when your having fun!

2008-07-18T04:33:00.000-04:00

thiefs!

2008-07-01T03:46:00.000-04:00

Lately we have had a lot of things coming up missing in our neighborhood not to mention the stupid people that stole our dog a while back! Today the kids went outside to go ride bikes with the neighbor boy and Chandler comes in to tell me he can't find his bike. I figured he needed to look a little Better. So I waited a while to see if he could find it and sure enough it was stolen. Well we went for a walk to the park and the kids played for a while then we walked over and got the kids some food at the fish fry they were having. We then went home and a little while later I was outside and thought I heard our little dog that thinks she owns the neighborhood yelp like someone hit her or something. So I looked around and didn't see her so sent Chandler to look behind the house. Well she happened to be inside but needless to say Chandler came running back telling me he seen his bike! Well I looked and sure enough it was his. Then the boy rode it right in front of our house! I confronted him and told him let's go talk to his parents and then we chased him (we'll sort of just walked but caught up to him) well needless to say his dad said he bought it from some guy for $20. Ok I think not but I got it back with little Said! It just happened to be at the gedo behind our house! Well that's what we call it but they are really dirty appart and they are up all night fighting. Thank god we got a privacy fence that we don't have to see that everyday.
The other things stolen in the neighborhood recently is car sterio's on each side of us. Nothing stolen out of our çars but who knows I might not really be missing it if they did. We have had people fighting and riding bikes through our yard in the middle of the night it's just getting to be worse and worse everyday! In the two years we have been here we have never had this much go on around us.
The kids are doing good getting in lots of trouble! Felecity performs at the park on Thursday for our 4th of July celebration that they do every year. She is excited about that. PRESTON'S birthday is on Friday so he will be turning 6yrs old! Wow! Time sure flys!
We did get the fence up and the dogs love haveing the room as do I. Since they get all the rough play done outside now and don't destroy my house now,but the kids have been making up for that! Well enough said until next time!

the joys of family

2008-06-22T15:08:00.000-04:00

I often find myself having more fun spending time with family rather than out partying. I will be able to look back in a few years and be thankful that I spent most of my time with my children and family. Yeah I do like to have some alone time sometimes with just me and the hubby. I know growing up I don't recall much family time except for around the holidays. I feel as though family is more important than drinking all the time. I'm not writing this to affend anyone. If you fee as though I am I guess you must be one of those that leave your kids with a sitter all the time to go out.
Lately we have been spending a lot of time outdoors and at my youngest brothers house. We didn't get the house we were wanting. We have to try again in a couple months and hope and pray it is still up for sale then.(it's a long story)
For now we are going to be putting a fence up in our backyard for the dogs and making a flowerbed out front. There is not much grass there so I figure why not plant the flowers I got before they die.
I got my 4D ultrasound on Thursday. The baby is weighing in at 4lbs 9oz already. I so hope I go early! Otherwise she is gonna be a big girl. Her feet are even huge! I have pics up on my myspace page of them if you would like to look. Well better go.

life in my fast lane

2008-06-14T01:30:00.000-04:00

Well as you may have guessed things are getting pretty busy. I get up everyday with just enough time to feed the kiddo's ,take the dogs out ,yell at the kids to get dressed a hundred times before the finally listen. Then get Aurora dessed and out the door to get errends ran. I hope I don't forget anything half the time!
Felecity is getting excited about dancing at the park in july and her recital will be in july also. July is going to be a busy month already and it's not july yet.
We have done a lot of outdoor things with the kids lately. It's good for them to be active. We did get a chance to go to the park pool one day this week. That was fun. Preaton did get burnt though. I thought Aurora would be fried but she was good. The water was still a little cold but it was refreshing.
I just hope the weekend is nice enough for us to do some outdoor activities.

progress

2008-06-11T01:20:00.000-04:00

Ok so far so good. The bank excepted our offer on the house we have been looking at. Now we just need to go through the rest of the process and with any luck we will be moved in july.
Besides the flood around us everything has been good. We didn't get any damage or flood water in our house or basement. It was all around us though. We got lucky. I just hate all this rain we have gotten. Not that I want an drought but rain like every day now come on.
My pregnancy has went well so far. I am now seeing my doc every two weeks. It's getting close!
The kids have enjoyed being able to play outside almost all day. Preston's hair is already turning blonde and felecity is already getting tan. I'v already been asked if I take her tanning. Come who would let a 4yr old tan in a tanning bed. Chandler is growing up so quick too. Some of the things he does and says makes me derl so old.
Until next time.

schools out!

2008-05-31T02:17:00.000-04:00

Wow! This school year came bad went fast. Chandler just barely missed honor roll for the whole year. We are still proud of him though. I also had him thinking he was going to take 1st grade over again. I finally told him he gets to go to 2nd grade though. Preston is excited to get to go to 1st grade next year.
The kids like the summer off but I kinda like the break from them for the afternoon too. Since they have been out they have got me up at the butt crack of dawn every morning. By the time the day is over I am exhausted.
Today I spent most my day cleaning my truck. We are thinking about selling it since gas prices are so high and I am kinda wanting a car. I won't prolly be able to fit all the kids in it but I can barely take the truck right now with gas prices so high. Besides we have the van so it't won't be too bad.
We are still waiting to see what goes on with the house we are looking at. I hope we get it,but I hate the thought of moving again. It will be worth it though if we get it. Lots of room for everyone. Well that's it for now.

can't sleep so I'll write a little!

2008-05-23T01:39:00.000-04:00

Ok well I think we may of found us a house that is big enough for us. It is big enough the kids can all have their own room plus more. We are crossing our fingers eveything goes good from here on. Wish us luck!
I have had so much on my mind lately that I havn't been sleeping well.with the new baby coming soon and trying to find a bigger house things are just racing in my head. We are also selling our quads since we havn't had much time to ride lately. The kids will still have theirs we don't plan to get rid of those. We do plan to get new ones later but right now we are focused on a lot. Also since I made a deal with the hubby the only way I will sell my quad is if I get a tanning bed. So I am going Saturday to do that. At first I was going to trade it for one but another deal worked out for us.
The kids are all doing great and learning how to use their heelys. Aurora now has 6 teeth and more trying to come through. She's is so close to walking now that I can't bleave how much she has grown in a year. Where does time go?
We are also thinking about breeding our yorki poo. I'll let ya know how that goes. Well I can't think of anything else so later.

Struggles in life

2008-05-21T14:23:00.003-04:00

Lately things have been so busy! We have been running around getting so much done. The kids party and lots of other things. There is never enough hours in the day. The kids are almost out of school so things are about to get busier. We havn't planned anything yet for this summer but I'm sure we will have fun. There is never a dull moment around our house.
Not too much longer and the new baby will be here. I can't wait to meet her. I was hoping we could find us a little bigger house by then but with the econemy things are not going our way. We really love where we are at but wish the house was bigger. There are so many empty houses around us now but noone can get the loans for them. well guess that is it for now until next time............

Finally a name!

2008-05-20T02:45:00.001-04:00

Well as you may have noticed we finally picked out a name for our new baby due in just a couple months. It's long but she will be named after a few family members and close friends. Are you ready? Trinity LynnLee Jo Nuckols. I love it! I guess that's all that matters.
The hubby is done with school finally and will soon be a licenced plumber. Yeah more money! We have his graduation in a week or so. I'm so proud of him. The kids are doing well for the most part. Chandler is still doing great in school as far as grades go. Preston is done with wresteling and got a trophy for that. He's already asking when gr gets to go back! Felecity is doing great and loves these nice days. She plays outside like all day! Dance is also going well for her. She got her outfit and can't wait to wear it. Aurora is almost walking and still as rotten as ever!
The kidos just had their birthday party this past Saturday at the scuba place here in town. The loved getting to swim. The boys got heelys for a gift from their mama and papa. So the next day I went and got felecity a pair since she tried on Preston,s and she did ok with them. What can I say they are spoiled! Well that's it for now. I'll try to post more soon!

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice!

2008-04-16T00:56:00.004-04:00

As you may have noticed by now I'm having another baby girl. It makes it a little easier seeing how I have nothing left for a boy! Yippee now we have three weddings to pay for though! This makes my fifth and last baby for us. Hubby is gonna get the snip snip done soon after the baby gets here or around the time I'm due. I'm really starting to show now. I just seamed to pop out all at once. Oh well it's my last pregnancy so I better enjoy it as I have with all my others. I can't complain too much, my pregnancy's have been pretty easy and nothing slows me down from doing the things I enjoy. I of course won't put anything in my body that could harm the baby!
I am happy to have such a large family. Lots more love there!
Chandler made honor roll once again and we are very proud of him. Preston it doing well in school also as well as wrestling. He went to a meet a few weeks back at moorseville and he took 5Th place and got a ribbon for it. Not bad for his first meet. He was grinning from ear to ear that day.
As for Felecity well she just thinks she's the best dancer ever! She loves dance so much and ask me 24 - 7 when she is going.
Aurora has been practicing walking and still don't have it down yet but she's working on it as well as her motor mouth that never stops jabbering. She went to Riley again on Monday and they said she is doing great and don't need to see them again! I of course am glad too cuz it is a long drive that I don't like driving. Well that's it for now!

Gearing up for the weekend

2008-03-20T16:22:00.002-04:00

Well today has been a busy day. Went to Terre Haute to get Preston the rest of his gear so he can wrestle in a meet at moorseville on Saturday. I'm really excited as this will be his first one. I hope he does good. Went by my grandpa's store since I had a little time before I needed to be home. That was nice to get to visit with my aunts and grandpa since I don't see them too often. headed home and got the boys of the bus and went to wash Miss Dixie since she hadn't been washed since she broke down back in September. She looks all nice and shiny again! Then off to the park we went to enjoy the rest of the day!

The Secrets finally out!

2008-03-18T14:47:00.003-04:00

Ok well most everyone knows now, so I guess I can finally tell all of you. I'm going to be having baby # 5. I'm due in August so yeah we kept it quiet for a while. Now that I'm starting to show we figured we better announce it. I go my next appointment and get my ultrasound done and hopefully we find out if it's a boy or girl. I think this one is going to be another girl by the way I have been feeling. I have lost like 13lbs now and am just now getting to where I can eat better. I never did that with my boys so that's why I think it's a girl. If it's a boy I'll be really surprised!
Yeah some of ya might think I'm nuts. Sometimes I think the same thing. It's not as bad as some might think my kids are not deprived by any means. They still get spoiled mostly by daddy. I do know this will be our last unless for some reason the hubby chickens out and decides not to get snipped.
I got my truck back on the road and have been driving her since Sunday. I'm so excited too! I went today to get the exhaust fixed where the hubby cut it and get some nice shinny tips put on too. It looks really nice. If ya ever need something like that done Nicoson does a good job! I also went to get the back break line looked at and see how much that was going to be to get fixed. It's got a pin hole in it. I'll hopefully have that fixed too. She's almost as good as new. I really hate driving the van just because I'm not the van type person. So the van will prolly sit til the weekends or at least when the baby gets here. Until then my truck will be driven unless we go an long trips then the gas is cheaper.

four teeth and counting!

2008-03-06T03:09:00.000-05:00

Last night before going to bed I relized Aurora had a fever,didn't think anything of it and was thinking to myself I hope she's not getting the flu! Well it took a few more minutes and it hit me! I bet she's getting teeth. She already has 2 that she got at like 4 months and she didn't fuss a bit about those. Well now she has 2 more. My kids have been weird when getting teeth they get the craps and sometimes a fever.they never get fussy.I guess I just get lucky but who knows. It's hard for me to understand when other parents say well they are teething cuz I don't look at it as too big of a deal! It's part of life I guess!
Anyways things are going better around here. Felecity got her staples out and Preston got her stitches out. We tried to tease felecity and told her her brain is going to seep out now since she has holes in her head. Yeah she could care less! Preston is gonna have one heck of a scare!
Well the hubby got a new truck, well not new it's a old one but new to him. It's an 85 Chevy. The price was right so he got it without asking me wich he never does so when he told me he thought I was gonna be pissed. I wasn't he needs something besides driving the work van all the time. It needs a little work but nothing too costly. As for my truck it's being looked at and hopefully running better soon. I havn't drove it since the new engine has been out in it cuz it needed some adjustments so hopefully those get taken care of and the van can sit while I enjoy miss Dixie! I hate that van as you can tell. Nothing will ever live up to miss Dixie. Until next time.

Too many injuries

2008-02-29T18:54:00.002-05:00

OK well it's been a little while. We everyone is feeling better. So no fever's anymore. However Sunday was not a good day. The kids must have been really bored or really brave. First Preston decided it would be fun to take their toy box and use it as a slide. Why he thought this was a good idea I have no idea. Well needless to say he gashed his leg open on it and had to get to the hospital for stitches. Hubby took him while I stayed home with the other kids. They stopped for ice cream on the way home and came home and ate it. They no sooner than got done eating and Felecity was getting up on my bed and fell of and of course you guessed it. She busted her head open on my dresser and had to go to the hospital. She had to have three staples put in. They should be getting them out around the same time. I just wonder what them people in the ER where thinking! That's just our luck. Two in one day. Next year on that day they are staying in bed or something! Well they didn't get to go to dance or wrestling this week because of it. I think that bothered them more than getting hurt. Maybe next week!
Anyways this week went better after that and we are going to the super cross and going to have fun!

Day by Day

2008-02-23T03:59:00.000-05:00

OK so as you may have noticed I have more free time on my hands lately. Well of course I do I have had ton's of free time. The kids have been sick one right after another this time it's Felecity with a fever. I have no clue what's going around but it's getting around our house for sure. I haven't been able to get to bed before 3am so I've been staying up with Aurora because she seems to be having a hard time getting to bed to lately too. So we play in bed together while watching TV so we don't wake the others. Oh and watching Aurora try many attempts at waking daddy up. Which by the way nothing wakes him up. He's been working a lot of hours lately so he's been really tired when he comes home. It's been driving me insane because I never know when he's going to be home. I know the kids have been missing him a lot too.
I did order tickets for the super cross at the RCA Dome next weekend so we are looking forward to that. As you may already know we enjoy that sort of stuff along with other off road activities. We haven't been out riding in a while and really need to get the quads out and ride. I'm hoping when it gets warm out again we can do the camping thing and take the quads. The kids love that kind of stuff and this year they will have their own to ride. So it should make for an interesting summer for us. I'm not sure what else we will try to fit in this summer but hopefully lots of fun. We may even think about moving if we can find the right place since this place is getting a little small for us now with Aurora getting older. Right now she's still in our room because we are still not sure if we can trust felecity not to jump in her bed and try to sleep with her. So we will play it safe for a little while longer. So if ya know of any nice places feel free to tell us about it. Until next time....

Sickies

2008-02-21T16:35:00.001-05:00

Latley our house has been full of sickness. First I was sick Monday and Tuesday with who knows what. Then as soon as I get feeling better Preston starts getting sick. The only thing he is complaining about is his throut hurting when he caughs. He has had a fever the last three days. When Preston has fevers we have to watch him very closely that he don't have a siezer. Yesterday I thought he was feeling better becuase he was in the mood to help clean the tub with me. It didn't last long though becuase later that night his fever kicked in more and he was laying around again. I feel so bad for any of my children when they feel that bad. To top it all off I woke up again feeling like I couldn't breath. I just think i'm feeling better and I get sick again. This time I think with a cold. I hate this weather!
Aurora is finally saying Moma more. Before she only said it on occasion but now it's all the time. If you have children already you know how it feels to hear them say this stuff. It just melts your heart. If you don't have children yet you don't know what your missing. Last night Hubby went to bed early so I just sat in bed watching tv because I couldn't go to bed that early. Aurora of course couldn' go to sleep early too so we watch tv together all the while she was headbutting her daddy while he was asleep. He didn't wake up of course. It got pretty funny when she started to try to stick her little fingers in his mouth. He still didn't wake up! I wish I would have had it on video because it was too funny to watch. She's gonna be a mean one.Watch out boys!
The other kids are doing good and crazy as ever. Whoever says your life is ruined if ya have kids has no idea what they are talking about. You still have a life, you just can't be alcoholics and party all the time. AS you can tell I have four wonderful children and they are not deprived by any means. I'm a proud Parent!

Ranting and accomplishments

2008-02-19T15:49:00.002-05:00

Men are just such assholes sometimes! Lately I have seen so many women being degraded by their spouse or sonificant other. They should teach you how a real man should treat you before you ever get married. For instance why do some men think its ok to call their woman fat or names in front of their friends or family. I myselft think if someone does this in front of me they should be called out on it. I mean how do they think this is normal behavior taward the one they say they love. For instance I have three brothers, we didn't grow up in a perfect family but we mad do with what we had. One of my brothers is the sweetest guy to his wife while I have another brother that has hit his wife, calles her names and so much more and she's dumb enough to stay with him. If my hubby ever treated me like he does her, he would probably be six feet under. He also thinks it's ok to show her porn pics of other women and compliment on them in front of her. Yeah I know men like to look at that stuff but come on have a little respect for the one you say you love. How would they like it if we were like hey look at that guy over there wonder if he has a big one. I have been to a strip club with my hubby and it don't bother me to be there with him. He has enough respect not to get a lap dance ect. and he would never talk about some chicks boobs in front of me. I'm not saying he's perfect by all means just that he respects me. So if you know some men that are like this or your hubby acts like this then call them out on it. your the stupid one to let them treat ya like that in front of people even if he says he's just joking around its wrong to let them treat ya like that. I'm no expert by all means but come on lets get real! I know this was a little long of a rant but it just pisses me off to hear men do this especially right in front of me.

Ok so as some of you read I was talking about my little secret last blog. Well it's still not out yet but it will be soon I promise.

The kids are all doing good with their new hobby's. Well besides Chandler because his don't start til spring. Preston is doing very well at wrestleing. He got his pictures last week along with his shirt. As soon as we get them back I will post them.
Felecity is into her third week of dance and seems to be picking up on it well. We just paid for her recital outfit so she will be in it in July. I can't wait. It is so nice for the kids to finally be able to do stuff like this and I love it!

The best kept secret!

2008-02-06T19:27:00.000-05:00

Ok as you may have notice I have a big secret that I have been keeping to myself for months now. Have you ever had a secret that you just can't hold in forever? You just want to tell someone at least. Ok I told some of close friends but that's as far as it has gone. Sometimes I just want to get it off my chest but am scared for some odd reason. What do I do? I know it's eventually going to come out somehow but I guess I'll just keep it for a little while longer. I bet your just dieing to know. I just got to figure out how to tell it first.
Ok so today was a good day! Preston had Wresteling practice again. He did pretty well for the most part. He was taken down most of the others quick. At one point I went ouch when he slammed a little boy down hard on his back. I wonder if he knocked the wind out of him? It was fun to watch him cheer the others on as they wrestled. He was so excited! He did however have a problem getting one boy down. Not bad for his first year though. I tried to video him but by the time I was ready too and keeping Aurora occupied so she wouldn't grab at the video he was done. Maybe next time! I'm proud of him though!

Long time gone

2008-01-30T21:34:00.000-05:00

Sorry it's been so long since I have been on this thing. I have been so busy lately. A lote has happened since my last entry.
The kids keep me busy,busy busy. Preston started wrestleing on Monday. He seems to like it so far. Maybe it will wear him a out a little so he's not so hyper at home. Felecity is starting dance classes on Monday so that should keep her busy. She also went up to Riley children's Hospital for them to run a scope down her throut to see what's going on there. She did pretty well under the anesteshia and they did a biopsy while in there. We go Tommarow to get the resuts from the biopsy and tslk about the surgery he wants to do to fix her esophigus from the whole penny ordeal. So I'll try to let ya know what we find out. Chandler well I don't know what to say about him! He has done nothing but get in trouble at school. He has already lost his fourwheeler and he still has not learned. I have no idea what to do. I thought he was going to be the easy one and preston was going to be the one getting in trouble. Boy was I wrong!
We got a new van. Yeah I know a van but I really needed to get my dad his truck back since we decided not to buy it and the van was cheap. It's red which I hate that color but like I said it was cheap and it will get us by till we can find a deceint durango or expedition that doesn't have a ton of miles on it.
My dryer was getting really annoying with it's sqeeking and as much laundry as I do we figured it was time for a new one so we look and got a new set. I can do so much more laundry now and it's not annoying. We are however going to give my dad our old dryer since he needs one. He don't do much laundry so it might last him a little longer than it would have us. His house is bigger so he can excape from the noise too.
Well I think that's abou all I can think of that's happened lately. I know ther's more but I can't remember. Later ok hope u can read this seeing how spell check isn't working....

The Worst of Luck

2008-01-06T21:45:00.000-05:00

Lately We have had shit for luck! Here is what has been happening lately.. We bought a used engine for my truck which we thought would be the cheapest route to go instead of a new one. Yeah we were wrong the guy that sold it to us sold us a crap engine that had a bent push rode,a stuck valve and cracked heads. So we had to after putting a ton of money in that engine go back to the engine that was originally in it and try to rebuild it. More money of course and we got her running but not firing on all eight cylinders only four. After another $105 part got that going. Well She is drivable but can't stop now. Now we have to replace the brake line on part of it so that's some more money down the drain. By the time this is all said and done she should be like a new truck again. Talk about our luck!
I just hate how I finally get my hopes up to be able to have her back on the road and something else happens. So now maybe on the weekends we can go somewhere! Sitting at home every weekend since Thanksgiving pretty well sucks.

Our Family keeps growing

2007-12-26T14:43:00.000-05:00

Well this weekend was a busy one and a stressful one! It started out with Friday as being the easiest with just a trip to Terre Haute to get some boots and some other things we needed. Saturday was of course our 6th year Anniversary. WOW! We had a trip to Indy all planned out to go Ice Skating and out for dinner. Then off the finish up our shopping! Well we didn't end up getting the shopping thing done because of time. We did however change the plans a little bit since I finally found a white Boxer. So we drove a little out of the way to get out new pup Rebel! We figured we would get him since we have been missing our Buster(Boxer) for some time now. Well needless to say Buster was just a few houses down and they knew it was our dog all along. Well my brother and my hubby decided to go down to their house and ask for him back. Well she admitted to having him and acted like she was going to go get him and never came back to the door. So we called the police and had to get them involved. We had to wait from Saturday to now to get him back since the Holidays and everything. We then had the Humane Shelter and the police go there and scan him since he has a chip in him and we now have him back. I swear by these chips now and urge anyone to get one put in their dog if they ever want a chance on getting him back. As some of you may or may not know Buster has been in our family for a years. He was a pup out of my In-Laws dog and she burnt in their house fire a few years back. So we later got Buster from hubby's Uncle and have had him since. So you could see he means a lot to us. The nerve of some people! I can't see how people can be so heartless. I have three kids that have missed him so much and they still told people about him even while he was missing as if he was still here. I was pissed to find out about this! Our kids couldn't understand why these people wouldn't give their Buster back. They now say they don't like those people because they wouldn't give their Buster back. Of course my first reaction to the whole situation was to go pull that stupid (let's call her ugly) out of her house and grab my dog but of course I reasoned with the hubby and agreed on letting him and my brother go down their. I have a bit of a temper when someone takes what is not theirs so I guess it was best. Seeing how the last chick that stole from me got punched in the face. You can read about that in my Halloween blog. The funny part about the whole thing is the dumb chick that worked in the office where my hubby works is best friends with the chick that had our dog and chose not to say anything. So as if I already didn't like her now I have a very good reason not to like her. If I see her I will tell her how I feel.
Christmas went well and the kids loved their new four wheelers.
So we are going to be keeping busy with three dogs and four wild kids!

Anound the corner

2007-12-19T19:51:00.000-05:00

Christmas is just around the corner. I can't believe it is almost here! Things have gotten a little better lately. We have most of our Christmas shopping done. I made calenders for everyone again this year, so that is what most everyone is getting from us. I can't wait to see the look on our kids faces when the see what we got them this year. We did get some help getting these for them but will have to pay back.

My truck(Miss Dixie) is not going to on the road as soon as we thought as we were sold shit engine. First a push rod was bend,then a valve was bent or stuck so we thought OK we will go have the heads done so we dropped those off. The next day the guy called to tell us the heads were cracked. All this would have been nice to know before we put almost $800 in and engine that does us no good. So we are back at square one. I think we are going to go ahead and rebuild the engine that was originally in the truck. You can't trust anyone these days to be honest. What is the world coming to? So here we go having to put more money into this because of some dumb ass that needs to screw people over for some extra cash. I know if I knew an engine was crap I would throw it away before I sell it to screw someone out of money. Sorry but I needed to rant a little about this.
Anyways I hope everyone has a good Christmas and have fun with friends and family!

2007-12-19T17:52:00.001-05:00

Make a free ecard - it's easy!

Slow down! slow down!

2007-12-05T16:38:00.000-05:00

Wow my December calender is so full. Sorry I haven't been on lately. I have been so busy! Lots of school activities for the kids. I feel as though I won't even have time to take a crap if I need to.
This past weekend we have worked on my truck. We were up all night Saturday night and Sunday working on it. We even got the cops called on us because of our stupid neighbor across the street likes to bitch. Her and her Husband or whatever he is can go all night fighting and we can her every word. She even likes to smack him around, but when we try and do something worthwhile she calls the cops on us. It was 6am so she can blow me. So from now on when we hear a peep out of them the cops are getting called. That will teach her to mess with me. Oh we did get it running by the way. That's why she called the cops. LOL We still have to work some of the kinks out but she's gonna hate when I start diving it daily again. I can't wait. I was so pissed off that I think I drank like 4 or 5 beers and I never drink beer.
They kids got to go see Santa at Felecity's school on Saturday. We got a family pic but minus the hubby because of course he had to work. Felecity didn't want any part of it at all. Aurora just looked at Santa like he was stupid. It went pretty well!
Aurora is starting to rock back and forth on her hands and knees. Look out!
I so need a break from the kids but every time I plan something hubby has to work. I feel like no one knows how I feel. At least hubby gets out of the house like everyday,but not me. I just get to be with the kids like 24/7. I love my kids but I need some time for just me sometimes!

Days go by

2007-11-28T00:20:00.000-05:00

Today went by so quick. I had just enough time to get the house straitened up before Felecity's teacher came. When she left I had to get some supper made and get ready for our volleyball game. Hubby got home early so we got a chance to work on the truck a little more. This time I didn't get knocked down inside the truck.(Friday night my brother thought it would be funny to shove m down inside while I was trying to do some unhooking to a part on the engine) Damn brothers!!! Then I went to my volleyball game. We played three games. We won our first one, lost by two in the second one and won the last one so we did pretty well. It's nice to get out and have some fun like that too. Got home and some friends of our came by we worked on the truck some more. Still haven't got her going yet so I'm a little disappointed. Hope things go better soon or I'm going to go nuts! Oh friends and us chit chatted a little while and then they left.

I can't believe this week is going so fast. Christmas is sneaking up on us. I have no idea what to get the kids. Maybe some lifetime guarantee toys that are unbreakable would be nice! That would make our house less crazy. I still don't know what to get the hubby or anything else for that matter. I love Christmas so much but hate it when I have to buy and don't know where to Begin. I love this time of the year. I find myself not enjoying Christmas as much as before because I can't buy the things I really want to buy my kiddo's. I wish I could buy them so much more but things happen and stuff. They did finally get there helmets to go riding with us. I will have to post pics later. They look so cute in them.

Aurora is finally back to her old self grinning from ear to ear like usual. She can brighten any ones day. She is starting to rock back and forth on her hands and knees,won't be long and she will be going strong. I can't believe she is already six months old. Boy how time fly's!

On the road again just can't wait to be on the road again!

2007-11-26T15:18:00.000-05:00

Finally my truck is almost finished. It's engine has been locked up and sitting since Labor day weekend. I'm so excited to finally be getting her back on the road!
This weekend was a crazy one let me tell ya. Thanksgiving went well. Aurora was feeling better but was still not herself. Felecity woke up and was feeling better and not complaining about her ear anymore. We had a fun and busy weekend. The guys got my motor out on Thursday night and called it a night.
Friday went well we hung out at home for the most part of the day cuz hubby had to work and then we were off to the annual Christmas Parade. That was fun. The kids had fun and so did we. It was cold but well worth the time. We went to dinner with the hubby's boss and family after the parade. Boy was one of the little boys there cracking me up. Went home and called it a night after that.
Saturday came and gone and hung out with some friends like usually. Then Sunday came and the guys worked on the motor going in my truck till like um 5am this morning. Wow ! I bet our neighbor love us! Sorry! I really miss my truck. Anyways it was only like two nights so I hope they can forgive us.
A few more minor things tonight and she should be back on the road again. Cross your fingers for me.

Thanksgiving Blues

2007-11-22T04:45:00.000-05:00

Well it's like almost 5am in the morning and I can't sleep. I was up most of the night last night with Aurora and still tonight. Why you ask? Well as I said in the previous post she got her 6 month immunizations and is getting two more teeth. Poor baby. Well she has been running a fever and we haven't been able to get it down past 100. So we just assumed it was her immunizations with the teething on top of that. Well she developed this horrible cough that sounds like a seal barking and she can't breath well. I decided last night(or should I say at like 1am this morning)to take her to the ER. Well they told me croup was what she has and it is apparently going around. Well they also thought she had strep too so they tested her and she don't have that so that was good. The croup is enough on top teething and immunizations. She don't need to go through anymore than that.
Well on top of Aurora being sick Felecity is complaining about her ear hurting so we are thinking she may be developing and ear infection. So this Thanksgiving is going to be a pleasant one around our house. So we won't be doing much! My poor baby's are falling apart. I wish I could take their pain away for them. I'll let you all know when they get to feeling better.

Doctor's,Doctor's and more Doctor's

2007-11-20T17:20:00.000-05:00

It seems we can't stay away from them lately!
Yesterday was Aurora's Appointment with her Doctor at Riley Children's Hospital. It went well she is doing everything that she has been wanting her to do as far a weight gain. So we don't need to see her for another 2 months. Yeah! We had to rush back after that to make it to Felecity's Thanksgiving dinner at her school. We made it and wasn't all that late. It was fun we even stayed to help clean up since we got there late anyways.
Well today was a busy day for us.We got up late so I had to rush around to get the girls ready and head of the our family doctor. Aurora had an appointment to get her 6month shots. Well I also discovered she loves her dad while there. Right before getting her shots she must have knew what was coming and started yelling Dad,Dad,Dad! It was so cute but then the nurse poked her and she was pissed. She didn't cry long though. She's a tough little girl. Well while there Felecity was telling the doctor about her choking on a hot dog. which reminded me I needed to talk to him about how Felecity chokes on them like the get stuck halfway down. She also does it with french fries and other foods too. So I talked to him about how the doc at Riley last year said she might develop scar tissue from the penny incident so he made and appointment with that doctor for us. So we are going to see him the first of December. So it looks like another Riley trip sooner than 2 months.
Tonight is another volleyball game so I will at least get out of the house for that. Then back home to the house full of nothing but noise.
I'm excited! I should be getting my truck back on the road again this weekend or next week. So I will be getting down and dirty this weekend. I figure since it is my truck I should at least try to help. I hope that all goes well. Wish me luck

What to do??

2007-11-17T16:26:00.000-05:00

Preston apparently brought some of the rocks(pea gravel) home from the playground at school. Of course they were brought home in his jacket pocket that I just washed. Well he decided to get them out today and play with them. At first they tried to fool me and tell me they lost a tooth. Then later they came in and told me that Felecity apparently stuck one up her nose. Well I at fist I thought they were pullin my leg. Well of course I looked and it was way up there. I freaked out of course and first tried so see if it would come out if I squeezed it but it didn't. So then I got some TP and made her blow her nose. Thank God she has been able to blow her nose for quite some time now. Well it took a little while of blowing and crying it finally came out. What else is she gonna try next? A year ago she was in Riley Children's Hospital for like a month and still had to come home with a feeding tube just from swallowing a penny. Thankfully we got some help with that because that bill was a $36,000 bill and that was just for her stay up there. Not including ER and X-rays etc.. We also had to sell some things just so we had some gas money for the drive back and forth. I'm hopeing we don't have to go through that again. I just wish she would quit experimenting with everything.
Monday we have another appointment to take Aurora to a doctor she is seeing at Riley for her spitting up and not gaining weight. I hope it's all good news this time. Last time they switched her meds and we have to thicken her formula to like a thick milkshake consistence. She has gotten a lot better since. She has gained weight since and is going strong. She is even getting some chub on her thighs. I think a lot of her not gaining right could be that she is very long for her age. We'll See how things go.
If you have any comments about my blog please post. I won't think your a stalker or nothing.

The adventures in the wonderful world of Motherhood

2007-11-16T16:12:00.000-05:00

Last night I couldn't sleep so I decided to get some well needed cleaning done. First I started on the dishes and then moved on the moping the floors. When I got that done I decided to wipe down the walls where my artist children decided to write on the walls. That was a job just in itself! I still have yet to do this in their bedrooms. I definitely did not want any chance of waking them up. I then moved on to the bathroom. Wow that was a whole other story. They apparently(the boys) like to miss the toilet a lot and like to wipe #2 on the walls and back of the toilet seat. It is times like this I wish I had the money to pay a maid or something. yuck!! I was wearing gloves of course so that helped. Why do they do these gross things? Am I the only one with this problem? I'm sure Felecity does her share of this too. They do good at not using a lot of Toilet paper if any at all. I'm sure this will change as they get older. I can't wait too because they are going to be doing a lot of helping around the house too. I know laundry will be one thing I will be having them do(their own of course).
This weekend should be one where we just stay at home and get the things done we have been putting off for so long. It's so hard to try and get these things done when the weekend is usually the only time we all get to see the hubby so we try to spend time with him and I try to get the help I need that I don't get during the week. Hubby is planning to take the engine out of my truck and see if they can see what went wrong with it. We couldn't be lucky enough to have it be something easy and not have to replace the whole engine. We'll see what happens.

We need to go through some stuff in our garage that has been in boxes since we moved and get rid of it. Oh and that brings me to a pet peeve of mine! I am one of those people that think that if you were given something(free) then you should pass of the favor. So why sell something that was given to you? Are you that greedy? Over the years I have given so many things to people that need thing before I would ever try and sell them. It just pisses me off that they would turn around later and try and get money out of it. I have actually lost a good friend of mine a few years ago due to her being so greedy(among other things related to money) that I finally just spoke up and said something. Well needless to say she didn't like that and I haven't spoke to her in over 2 years. Must not have liked the truth! Why are people like this? This makes me so mad! If you know me at all you know I would give the shirt off my back if someone needed it more than I did. I just hate when people take advantage of others of always expect something out of you. I guess I am too nice of person. I have a big heart and if I was rich I would try to give as much as possible to people in need.

Rambling thoughts

2007-11-15T17:18:00.000-05:00

Today I was getting the boys bed clothes out of the dryer and they still stink like piss! What am I doing wrong I rinse them first then wash them. I hate that smell. It is so hard to get ride of. Plus the fact that I could wash laundry all day long but I hate folding it and putting it away. Does anyone else hate folding too or is it just me. I was talking with my hubby last night and saying I need to clean the house up but I hate doing it. He looks at me and says "Why". I can't believe he asked that. Duh I hate it because I clean all the time and it just gets messed up again. Sometimes I don't think they really understand. If he lived on his own I would hate to see what that place would look like. Don't get me wrong I love him to death but he is such a slob. I have became so much closer with my husband in the last year. We have been through so much the last almost 10years. I am thankful I didn't just give up like I wanted to do many of times. I hate the hours he works because I can't spend much time with him like I would like.
On a better note.. Aurora is going strong gaining weight like she should and going everywhere. She's not crawling yet but rolls wherever she wants to. She pushes her self backwards. She has this new thing where she rolls herself up in her blanket it's so cute. She's growing way too fast.
The boys are doing so good in school. Chandler is working so hard to stay out of trouble. I hope it stayes that way. Preston is good at school and he is starting to have better behavior at home. Felecity is the same loving child she always is with cuddling all the time and she even climbs up in bed with me in the morning and rubs my back. I don't even get this from my husband anymore! She's still the same mouthy little girl though. She can really make someone laugh when they are feeling down. The other day when I was sick from my night out. She comes in and sees me puking and instead of asking anything she says "Mommy on Harry Potter the boy on there was puking up slugs". I couldn't help but laugh. I was kinda grossed out by the whole slug thing though. Who wouldn't be? So when I am asked what I am thankful for this Thanksgiving. My answer will my children and my husband. If I didn't have them I wouldn't have anything. Yeah I wish I was rich or famous but that's not how life always works. I am rich in other ways than money and there are a lot of people that are wealthy but have no life because they let all that power get to them. I want to hear what everyone is thankful for this season.

Day's go by

2007-11-14T19:20:00.000-05:00

So today was a little better as far as emotions are concerned. I can't help but worry everyday! I wonder everyday is this the day this is going to get shut off.(utilities that is) We are so far behind we can't get caught up. If we were caught up it would be so much better. I have yet to get my engine fixed in my truck. I have been having a hard time finding one anyways and if I did find one I either need to sacrifice a bill that needs to be paid ASAP or get the engine. We have let so much go in the last few months to make ends meet. It's so stressful. Just when we think we are getting caught up then we get hit again by something else. Life sucks sometimes! The only thing that keeps me going most of the time is the fact I have 5 of the most wonderful things that has ever happened to me living with me.
I hate how everyone thinks since I am a Glidden I have money. I feel you should earn your money and not expect had outs. I never ask for anything unless I might need a cardboard box to live in at some point in time. It's nobody's place to take care of me and my kids but ours. It just pisses me off to hear someone thinks since my family has money that I do. Newsflash my family doesn't know about my problems most of the time. I prefer them not to. If they new most of the time I would feel like a loser. I hate when people judge you before they know who you really are.
I love my family and would do anything for them that is within reason. Sometimes they drive me up the wall. Like to today they had to fight about every little thing! Felecity woke me up by jumping on me. What a wake up call. Most days I have to pry my butt out of bed. Why do I let this crap get to me so much? How do I not worry? Sorry to ramble on. But I am so frustrated.
Guys have it so easy. They get the adult time,rather it be at work or out and about. Oh well I guess I need to just suck it up! Sorry for the long sob story.

Life in my so called world

2007-11-13T21:45:00.001-05:00

Being a Mother and Wife sometimes can take a toll on my self esteem sometimes. Today started out like a normal day until this evening. I was in a rush to make dinner while needing to feed the baby all at the same time. It never goes like you planed it to. Got dinner done and the kids decided they didn't like what I fixed so I had to then hurry up and cook some chicken noodle soup and Tomatoes soup all before I had to leave for my Volleyball game tonight. I had told the kids that they could come and watch me play and they were so excited. I however thought hubby wanted to go watch me, not knowing he didn't I already told the kids so that was a whole ordeal with the kids. It kinda disappointed me he didn't want to go watch me play. Just brought back some old memories! I wanted to cry! Hubby did however go but then criticized me when we got home. I felt so down the way it was and didn't need that on top of it all. I have been stressed a lot lately and feel like just screaming but I can't. I just hold it all in. So this is life in my not so perfect world!

Girls Night Out

2007-11-13T21:45:00.000-05:00

This was long overdue! I decided since I haven't been out of the house without the Munchkins in a while. I was gonna get out and do something grownups do for once. It wasn't no big thing just went to my Best friends house and a couple other girls came over. We were planning on watching the Colt's play but yeah we didn't get that channel. We however decide to play euchre and have some drinks too. The drinks think was a bad idea since I haven't drank in quite a while. Me and Rum do not go well together. I did still have fun and never want to touch a alcoholic beverage again. I knocked a cup over and tripped over the dogs water so that's pretty much how my night went if I moved anywhere. We played Uno attack also. That was fun also with having a few drinks in ya and trying to explain it to the girl that hasn't played before. By the end of the night(or should I say morning) they had broke out the yearbooks and I was pretty well seeing double so it was pointless for me to try and look at them. So I crashed on the couch. Later my friend that was sober woke me up and took me home. I don't know how I got my shoes one or got to her car but I made it home safely. Puked way too many times and don't care to again anytime soon. But it was fun anyways! We decided we are going to do it more often minus the alcohol!

Worry Wort

2007-11-11T01:13:00.000-05:00

Lately I have been so stresses with all the things going on in my life lately. Our Boxer(dog) has been missing since Tuesday with no sign of him anywhere. The kids miss him as do I. He's in real dire need of a vet as it is. He quit eating and has lost weight. We wormed him and tried everything. He's always been overweight so we have no clue what's going on. We have had him for like 5 years now and he is a pup out of our in laws dog that burnt in their house fire like 41/2 years ago. So I have been worrying about that on top of needing to find an engine for my truck and catch up on some bills.

It has been so crazy around here lately. Hubby has been working what seems like 24/7. I am getting ready to start a new job,so I have been trying to get some things around the house done so I don't have to worry about it later. Got some baby food cooked and froze so she has some stocked up while I'm at work. I need to get some more done so I don't worry about it so much. I have been making my own baby food for my kids since the whole glass in the baby food thing a few years back. I'm not about to take that chance. It taste so much better anyways. Felecity's favorite was Avocado's. She eats so many foods that even I won't eat.

I tried green beans on Aurora again today and this time she actually ate them. I'm so glad because I don't want he to not like anything like Preston. That boy hates everything! Now I want to try some new things she hasn't tried yet,like Avocado's,peas,squash,banana's,peaches,etc..

She has gotten better with the spitting up but still does. I hate this because she never has a clean outfit. I had to quit breastfeeding so she could gain weight properly. She was so much worse with breast milk. I now have to feed her what looks like a milkshake and have to cut he nipples just so she can get it out. I hate this because breast milk is so much better for her. I tried so many times to switch back to breastfeeding but it just don't work. I try to tell myself that it's ok but I still get down about it. I feel so much closer too.

Aurora has another appointment at Riley next week. So hopefully everything goes good. We are hoping that they don't find out that her reflux is something else causing it. Hopefully good news! We went last time only to find out they needed the results from her upper GI and Ultrasound before they could tell us anything. As I said I'm a Worry Wort. I did take her to the Doctor the other day and she gained almost 2lbs in one month so that's a plus.

Job's and Hobby's

2007-11-09T14:33:00.000-05:00

Well this week went by so fast. Hubby has been working some long hours so not much time spent with him. I hate that the kids don't get to see him much. Well that is about to change. I have an interview on Wednesday and I'm pretty sure I got the job. They said when the results of my drug test come back they will give me a call to schedule a time to come in and do all my paperwork. I know I passed the drug test unless hubby is drugging me and I don't know it. LOL I doubt that! I start out part time. Hubby will have to get off at a certain time everyday so I can make it in to work on time. I don't really have anyone that would be willing to watch the kids till he's off work so he will have to get off on time. I know I prolly won't see much of him seeing how the hours he works are odd, but sometime that's just the way things are. He's on salary and most of the time he works way too many hours for the pay he gets. My brother and us figured out that if he work the same hours hubby did he would bring home way more than hubby does. He gets payed hourly but still. So this is why I'm going to start working to get some money saved up and pay my truck off and some other bills we have so we can do more. Right now hubby just works to catch up and we never get ahead. He does get payed good but only if he has a normal 40 hour week. I'm excited to get out of the house too. I want to be able to buy the kids a nice Christmas. They are gonna need some new toys. Hopefully they learned their lesson. Sometime things just have to be this way. It's either me get a job or hubby get a raise to match what I will be making and we all know those kind of raises are never going to happen. These days it seams to take two incomes to make it unless you have money in the bank. Maybe once we get ahead I won't have to work. It shouldn't be bad though since I'm only going to work part time. Wish me luck!
I have started playing volleyball this week. Hubby had school in Indy so I had my Sister in law watch the kids for me. We lost our games but it was our first. It was fun for me to do something other than chase kids around all day. I wanted to play last year but was pregnant. I don't think they would allow that sort of thing. We hope to get the kids in some sports this spring. I think they will like that. We had to take the oldest out of cub scouts since dad can't get off work at a decent time. Someone has to stay there with him so he's the only one that can unless I can find a babysitter for the other three kids. I hate to have someone do that seeing how I can't pay them and I don't want them to feel like I'm using them. I don't have family that helps much so I pretty well rely on myself.
I did get some cloth diapers made though. They might not be the best in the world, but they will do. I will post some pics of them later. I'm excited that I can do his for my baby. I need to save money somewhere. I still have some more to make but will need to buy some more fabric. I also need more Velcro. I want to buy some new ones but just can't spend the money right now. I also want to make the boys some pull up kind so when they wet to bed I don't have to do that laundry everyday. If you have any ideas please let me know.
They kids have been doing great in school as far as their grades. I think Chandler is going to make honor roll again. I'm excited. He doesn't know how to act at school as far as talking and bugging the other kids. You would think after he misses out on the behavior party and all he would want to be good. I guess not. I have tried so many things and nothing seemes to help. My only other option is to go sit with him one day at school,but that requires me getting a sitter for the girls. So again I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions??

Busy bee's

2007-11-06T16:53:00.000-05:00

I have been so busy lately. This weekend went pretty fast with us running around like chickens with our head cut off. It started with Saturday morning going over Terre Haute and checking to see if my parts came in for my quad, still not in by the way. Then we went by to pay some bills while we were over there. I decided since we were over there I wanted to see what Once Upon a Child had. They were way over priced for being a resale shop. We also went to Baby's R Us found a few things I needed. Went home to get some housework done and other things too. I don't think I ever get a break from cleaning. We decided later to go to Hubby's parent's house. We were there for a while. They kids got to play with their cousin's for a good while. They played like monkey's in the tree's while Felecity was going around the yard picking up nut's to feed to the squirrels. She thinks about the animals so much. We got to play a game of uker which we haven't done in a while. We Borrowed the movie Transformers(which is a good movie by the way) We end the night with watching the movie when we got home and then to bed.
Sunday went pretty well. We stayed home most of the day. Hubby's brother came by with his two little boys. After he left we watched part of the Colt's game. Then my brother called and wanted us to come over there to watch it with him. So we did.( he has DVR so we didn't miss any of it) I was disappointed how it ended. I knew it was going to be a close game. We then played a card game with my brother and his wife. It was fun. We like to get together a lot when it gets cold out. Nothing else to do. We talked a while after then headed home.
Monday I got to take is easy for the most part of the day. I have been trying some new things with the sewing machine. I'm thinking of switching Aurora to cloth diapers. I never thought it was so easy. I have found so many people on Cafemom's that do it and talk about how easy it is. So I figured I would give it a try. They have come a long way since our parents used them. I think I'm going to make them since I can't afford to buy them right now! I might buy a few later,but right now money is tight. So wish me luck! I just wish I knew this when I was having my first baby. I was talking about it to my sister in law and she thought it was a good idea too. I think she will be making her own too now. My Husband and brother think I'm nut's but since when do I listen to him. LOL I listen to him sometimes. If any of you have any pointers on making them please feel free to let me know. I'm sure it will help.

My official new nickname is Rockie

2007-11-01T00:29:00.000-04:00

Ok were do I begin? I'll save the best part of the evening for last.!!

Tonight we got ready for the annual American Legion Halloween contest. After getting ready we were pretty well waiting to leave because I didn't want to get there too early. So I figured we would treat some of the Trick or Tr eater's. Well we ran out of candy by the time it was time to leave. We got to the Legion and not very many people were there this year. After what seemed like forever they finally had all the kids walk in a big circle for the judges to get a good look. Well Felecity took 3rd place for most Original. They have what they call Camander's choice too. Well he was pretty cool this year because he picked all the kids that didn't already win. The kids mad out like bandits with leaving with $24 total. Here is some pictures of them in their outfits.

Well as for My Husband's new nickname for me well... Sorry I don't have pictures but I do have a great story. We decided we were going to drop the kids off at hubby's parents house while we went to the Haunted House down the road. My youngest Brother and his wife met us at their house and we rode with them there. Well needless to say my other (older) brother and his wife that I'm not on good terms with anyways tagged along.(in separate car thankfully) Didn't know they were coming till the moment younger brother decided to finally tell us. Well everything was fine till we were about to walk in the haunted house I realized older Bros wife was wearing a sweatshirt that I'm sure she stole from my house at some point in time.(not the first time she's stole from me) They all told me not to say anything. Well I decided to confront her about it when we were all out of the haunted house. Older bro couldn't stay out of it of course. In the mean time younger bro,his wife and my hubby were walking toward the car. Well she said she's had it for like ever, lieing like she always does. She started to walk away when I decked her ass,(no I didn't sucker punch her. she didn't get turned very far.)her hitting the ground hard. I hate when someone tries to act like they did nothing.Meanwhile younger bro.his wife and hubby heard my fist hit her face and swung around as my older bro was trying to hit me as I nailed him square in the face with my boot. Hubby came up with younger bro holding older bro in a headlock trying to break it up but hubby threw a few punches too. Hubby don't go for guys hitting chicks! All the while my foot was stuck up by older Bros face between like three sets of arms. Lost my damn phone,but found it. Older Bros wife said she was pressing charges when younger bro said to older bro well she presses charges then I am telling them everything older bro did.(kicking me and coming at me) Yeah he got a good kick in on my leg that I didn't realize he did till after the fact. I did have a friend with me but she just told older Bros wife "awe poor baby" when as soon as I hit her she started yelling she hit me, she hit me like a 4 yr old does. So yeah I relieve some stress. I did think for a second that I shouldn't but I'm tired of the shit and her talking shit thinking she's gonna whip my ass. Now what's up. I'm pretty sure if she hit me I would have been all up in her face. Nor winning like a little girl. How she hit the ground like that I guess I didn't think I hit her that hard. Everyone said that wasn't the place but what kind of stupid ass wears something they stole when they know the person they stole it from will probably notice??? I guess she's just stupid. I cant stand thief's and liers! Yeah it was just a shirt but crap just admit you stole it. I know I would if I did.

Trick or Treat

2007-10-31T01:34:00.000-04:00

Sometimes I just wish I can forget this day altogether. Today was a hectic one,with me running around like a chicken with her head cut off trying to figure out what to dress the baby up as. Finally it hit me and was so simple. I would dress her up as a Cabbage Patch Kid.I just dressed her in pants and a shirt and stole a tag off one of Felecity's Cabbage Patch Dolls. It is kinda funny how I decided on this. We were shopping for outfits for the kids on Sunday and couldn't find anything in Aurora's size. Well the brother-in-law and his two kids showed up there as well. He was playing with Aurora when my husband told him about her new teeth. He kept telling her she looks like a Cabbage Patch Kid. So that's how it kind of came about. She is cute though. I will post some pics of the kids in their outfits soon. The evening started out with me having to go pick the hubby up at a job he has been working on. He was working late like usual so we didn't get a start till like 6:30pm. At the first stop we thought we were doing good keeping them from eating a lot of candy,but by the time the night was over they ate way too much. We would keep their bags up front from place to place,but they soon figured out if they stuffed while they were their they would get more. At our last stop it was one of my good friends apartment. Well needless to say she has a boyfriend that just loves to be mean to me. So the kids got their candy from them and then behind him I saw 3 cans of Dew. He was trying to hide them,but yeah the kids spotted them too. So you know. Maybe I'll wait and let them have them when they are babysitting! Oh I can't wait til he has kids! All in all they had fun and so did we.

Sometimes I ask myself "How do I do it?"

2007-10-29T18:48:00.000-04:00

How do I do it? I ask myself this often,Of course with four children driving me up the wall. Today I woke up to find the boys totally recked their room. Yeah It was that way last night but not to this extent. So I finally decided this morning I was fed up with the mess. They weren't listening to me,when I told them to clean it like a hundred times. So I got a bag for the trash and started picking up papers they have decided to just rip up for no particular reason. As I was picking these up I started to smell a strong smell of urine. No it wasn't from our dog this was too much for a dog. My kids 3 out of the 4 decided it would be fun to pee all over their room. Keep in mind they are 6,5,and 3years old. So I decided since nothing else has worked for their behavior they were going to lose everything. I then got out a second bag for their toys and started cleaning out the toy box. By the time I was done with the kids rooms I had 1 big bag of trash (most of it was from under their bed and dresser etc..) and 4 bags full of toys. I did keep the toys that are from when we were little and put the away in a trunk. Hopefully our grand kids can treat them better. At first I thought I was being harsh but then I thought about how they did something like this thinking it was ok. I know kids will be kids but come on..

I later vacuumed and shampooed the carpet,hoping the smell comes out. If ya have any ideas on how to get that smell out let me know. I hate when my house stinks. Any little smell bothers me. Oh the Joys of Motherhood!

I also want to share Aurora's new toy. She thinks this is the only thing that matters these days. But I do have to say it beats her peeing on the floor. Here is a pic. How cute.

The joys of childbirth continued...

Ok I said I would be putting more pictures of the new little guy on here so here they are. He is doing very well.

The joys of childbirth

2007-10-25T18:42:00.000-04:00

Last night was a long one. I got a phone call around 11:30pm. It was one of my good friends calling to tell me that she was at the hospital and the doctor just broke her water. She has been wanting me there so I got myself dressed and headed that way. She dilated pretty slowly. They kept moving her and putting oxygen on her. She finally was getting close and they came in and decided they wanted her to have a c-section due to the baby's heart rate. She wasn't happy to hear that. She really wanted to go all they way without complications. So that really frustrated her. He was finally born at 7:00am weighing in at 7lbs 7oz and 19 inches long. He is so cute! As you can see in the picture he is a screamer.

I was pretty tired as was she. We were up all night. So I guess I'm off to go see him again tonight since I didn't get to hold him yet seeing how I had to leave before I got the chance. So Check back soon as I should have some more pictures.

Wow what a weekend

2007-10-23T12:11:00.000-04:00

Wow I am sore sore and wore out. This last weekend was a busy one!
Friday we went out a friend's house. They were having a haunted woods and hay ride. The kids said they wanted to go through the haunted woods so we took them through it. They seemed to be OK only got scared a little. We told them them it wasn't real before we went in,so I think that helped. We also stayed a little while to eat and site by the fire. We left after that to meet my brother at our house so him and Travis could work on his chain on his quad. They eventually gave up and decided it was better to just buy a new chain for it. Well I was up late as normal and couldn't sleep.
Saturday I got up and me and Chelsey went to Thompson's to get Travis's chain. While I was there I got some new goggles and ordered the screws I needed for my quad. We left and was on our way home then my brother called and wanted me to get him some goggles so we headed toward another Motor sports store that was along the way. We also seen my dad along the way as he was on the walk. (it's a thing they do every year for ISU homecoming as the walk from bar to bar along the way to the stadium.) Well needless to say we had to pick him up and take him back were he started. We made it back home finally. I spent the rest of the night cleaning and doing laundry while the guys worked on Travis's quad. I never seem to get caught up.
Sunday was an early start as we left the house at 7am and was on our way to Laurel Indiana to ride our quads. We had a lot of fun and did a lot of riding. We did manage to get lost for about an hour. It was right before dark and we were going up some pretty steep hills so luckily we found our way back before dark or that could have been a bad deal. Especially if we would go up a hill not knowing what was at the top. We left right after that since we were all pretty tired. We got home late and went strait to bed.
Monday we had to get up early get the boys on the bus and then get Felecity ready for her center day at her school. We dropped her off then were on our way to Indy to take Aurora to see a Doctor in Riley.That at went ok. She had to have her Medicine changed again and we are trying something different. We have to go back in a month and go from there. So that was a long day. We had to got pick the kids up at Brittanee's when we got back. Luckily she went by our house to make sure someone was there to pick the boys up off the bus. Of course there was no one there. So needless to say the person that was supposed to be there is not a reliable person! I was pretty mad seeing how she said she would be there and the fact I asked to make sure like three different times. So you would have imagine how I felt. Until next time..

What is the world coming to?

So today was a little stressful. My day started like usual. Then later in the afternoon a friend came over. As we were sitting there talking and playing with the kids the news came on for a special report. As it came on I was sitting there thinking what is going on now. Well needless to say there was a shooting today at on of our local elementary schools. I never thought it would happen here in our town. I just thought when it came on it was something happening somewhere else. Boy was I wrong! My heart immediately sank. I was sitting there thinking what is the world coming too? Thank God no one was hit by the bullet. They were shooting from the outside is what the news has been saying. I wish I had another option for schooling for my children. Yeah I could home school them but I don't know how to go about doing that and I have no idea if it is something I can keep persistant about. They seem to listen to other people better than us and I want my kids to have a good education. This is pretty sad you have to worry about your kids every day of the week. I of course went to pick up my boys. I was almost in tears when I went to pick them up. This could have been worse. I really hope they find who did this and they pay. This is really scary! What are parents to do? I know I sound like I'm rambling but it just blew me away that this has happened in our town. Here is the latest on this story http://mywabashvalley.com/content/fulltext/?sid=d3bf8cb1afb08a50b2ab719ecfac2e3b&cid=6171
This weekend is going to be busy busy busy! We have a Halloween Party to go to, Chandler is supposed to camp out at the boy scout camp with Dad of course. Then we are planning to go to Laural, Indiana to go riding. Also a friend of ours is wanting us to go to his cabin to eat chili etc...
At some point in time I want to make it back up to Mansfield. You always get to good deals on the last day.
Until next time....

Theft among Children

2007-10-17T19:43:00.000-04:00

OK as you may or may not have figured out my child stole. It wasn't till today when cleaning the boys room did I realize that Preston stole two tubes of chap stick from the grocery store when we were there on Saturday. I was so ashamed! This is something I don't know what to do. How do I punish him? He's 5years old I would think he knew better but I was wrong. Is he going to do this every time we go to a store? I know he is a very busy boy,but I never would have thought! I just don't know what to do??

Anyways Halloween is coming up and I have no ideas what to dress the kids up as. I know the boys will want to pick their own outfits out,but I still have the girls outfits to worry about. Usually by now I have some clue but this year I'm clueless. We plan on going to the American Legion like we do every year. I guess Travis won some tickets to a Haunted House too ,so I'm sure we will be going there. I also have a friends Halloween party that is coming up this weekend. They are having a haunted woods and hayrides. That should be fun! I also want to try to make it to a few other Haunted Houses. We also have been wanting to make Pumpkin Works this year since we have never been. I hope I don't get too scared.
We have yet to buy the kids pumpkins,so that is probably one thing we will try to get done this weekend. Then it's time to carve them. That should be fun seeing how they are still a little young and need our help. Chandler wants to carve sponge bob. That should be a tricky one. Stay tuned.

Here goes nothing...

I thought since I write a lote of blogs that I would start writing on here. Aurora now has not one but two brand new teeth. I was so excited since none of my other kids got theirs til almost a year old or after. It seems she is growing so fast,but I thought the other kids did too. They make me feel so old at times. Then there are the times when I want to go insane of course who wouldn't with four kids. I love my kids don't get me wrong but we all need a break at times. I decided to get a break on Sunday. When I got home I just couldn't figure out what was different about Felecity's hair. Well I finally found out today when I asked Felecity if someone cut her hair and she said "yeah uh Mister Preston did". It's better when she says it. Anyways her and Chandler proceeded to tell me that they took my cuticle scisors to Travis. Needless to say Travis said nothing about it. I was pissed! This is the third time in two years this has happened at this rate the will have long hair like never! That boy can't leave anything alone. Last time he used the same scisors and cut my shower curtain too. Here I thought I hide them from him. But when Travis is sleeping he hears nothing so it was bound to happen. So he's in the doghouse too.
I just wish for once I could go somewhere without the kids and not have to worry about my house being a mess.
