2011-03-28T17:32:00.000-04:00

but were going to say it has to do with living at the beach and not that im getting older!!

The Kitchen sink!!

2011-02-23T20:24:00.001-05:00

Well our disney passes expire on the 26th si we spent our 4 day weekend their. It is a bittersweet ending we had some good times but im excited for more beach time. We rode lots of rides and had icecream for dinner one night, this thing is called the kitchen sink it has 8 scoops of icecream anything else you can think of. And cost a low 25$! You can get it at the beach club resort, today is jays birthday so I thought id share the cards the girls made him.

what do you do when you dont have snow days?

2011-02-10T16:57:00.000-05:00

You go to work
you take kids to school
you take kids to the dentist
you go to the chiropractor (for headaches which by the way is helping)
and you go about your life and read lots of Blogs and Facebook postings about all the snow. And wish you still lived in Oklahoma where you got random snow days!!!

then you remember why you left.

would you want this or this?

what have I been up to well lets see!!!

2011-01-13T20:56:00.000-05:00

Yes Im alive!!!

2010-11-29T08:57:00.000-05:00

I have been so busy that I haven't really had time to blog...I also have been thinking about deleting my blog???? not sure anyway we went on a small vacation Monica got a solo in her program at school JaySea learned how to tie her shoes I'm sure I could have taught her this sooner but she only ever wheres shoes that don't tie...(when she wares them)

I will be in Oklahoma on Christmas I cant wait I miss everyone so much I have sent invites to my friends on facebook but I'm going to eat at Teds so who ever wants to join me please feel free the date and time is December 28th @ 7:00 please just let me know so I know who all is coming. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!!

LOVING MY LIFE!!!

2010-10-13T16:53:00.000-04:00

sometimes life goes by so fast I forget to take in the small things in life....but when I set back and think about it all I'm so very very blessed.... Jay has a temporary position at his job this news came at a bad time for us I had just cut my hours at work and it also meant that he would be making less. however we know it is only temporary. and will return to the other way come the first of the year. Monica is loving school this year!! (Thank You Lord)!!! she is making A's and B's (has one d in math 68.??) this school is really really hard or maybe it is just school these days. but she is doing math that I did in high school. Edmond is one of the best school districts in Oklahoma but the school we are at here in Florida Is in the top 3 in the whole state of Florida I read somewhere the other day that Edmond is talking about getting Smart boards this school has had them for 3 years. I'm not trying to brag on the school I'm just in shock how far behind Oklahoma seams to be in the education area!!! Anyway JaySea is reading and writing I'm amazed at how fast this takes off once it is started!!! they also tested her speech and she is going to start speech tomorrow she will go 2 times a week for 15min each time so just some advice if you think your children missaying words is cute don't encourage it.... or they will want to put them in speech when they go to school!! My work is going good I do love my job even more so since I'm only working part time!!! I work Tuesday - Friday I'm off everyday by 2:30 it is great. since I have moved to Florida I have lost 20 lbs!! but my pants don't fit any better!! I want to lose another 30 hopefully!! My in laws are coming out here next week then we are taking a Cruise to the Bahamas so excited. I'm so ready to come to Oklahoma to see everyone when I come in December it will have been a year....how much of this is repeated? remember we have plenty of room so if you come to Florida please let us know we would love to see you!!!

over a month in 100 words or less

2010-09-17T23:27:00.000-04:00

yeah right I don't think I could do less than 100 words if I wanted to....

1- right before Monica's birthday I found head lice in her hair.....i would not wish this on my worst friend....this is a very very hard thing to get rid of.. step on bag or wash everything in your house vacuum all floors spray all beds and chairs treat children's hair when you have 2 kids with more hair than a adult who whine every time you touch it this is a problem....the only place the kids had been to pick up this was DISNEY that's right folks DISNEY Monica is always putting on hats to see how they look.... Or MICKEY EARS as in this case don't do it do you know how many people put those on their heads and don't buy them...

2 school started....Monica loves 5th grade how ever we had some trouble at the first of the year with I forgot my home work oh I didn't bring that book home after 2 days of doing nothing but laying in her bed reading the bible ( her dads idea because as he put it when he killed her he wanted to make sure she knew Jesus). and some money incentive she has been remembering everything she is supposed to the way this works is they are both giving 5 dollars at the beginning of the week if they forget their homework books or a paper that needs to be signed or lie about their work they pay me a dollar at the end of the week the money they have left is theirs to keep. JaySea is loving kindergarten she is very happy that she gets to go this year.

3 i started a new schedule at work I'm working M-F on Monday i work from 10-6 and on Tuesday I work from 10-2:30 on wen I work 10-1:30 (we have early release every Wen) Thur and Friday I work 10-2:30. and I only work one Saturday a month to take care of my clients that cant get in during the week. I love this I'm home with the girls everyday but Monday.

4 yesterday I got a call from the school telling me that I had to come pick up my kids because once again my kids have head lice.... this time I have no idea where they came from Monica did say last week that 3 kids had been sent home with it and being that i work at a kids shop i had heard that it was in our neighborhood and the neighborhood by ours, our school only is zoned for these two neighborhoods...which means it is in the school I know that I have done everything to get rid of it we did go to the doctor to day to get the RX cause I'm tired of spending money on over the counter stuff...but I can tell we have gotten rid of it but rest assured they will be getting at least two more treatments my kids had never had this before and I pray that they never get it again!!! we are having JaySeas birthday party tomorrow more on that next time if you have any ideas on how to get rid of head lice for good please let me know!!!!! at this point I'm about to cut all their hair in to buzz cuts!!

TEN things I Love about this GIRL!!

2010-08-05T22:57:00.000-04:00

10) THE FACT SHE GOT HER DADDIES BLUE EYES
9) THE FACT SHE IS SO OUT GOING
8)THAT SHE LOVES HER SISTERMOST DAYS
7)THAT SHE IS ALWAYS SINGING
6)THAT SHE REALLY LOVES EVERYONE WITH ALL HER HEART
5)HER CRAZY THICK SEMI CURLY HAIR
4)SHE DOESN'T LET HER HAND DIFFERENCE GET IN HER WAY.SHE THINKS YOUR THE WEIRD ONE BECAUSE YOU HAVE 10 FINGERS AND NOT 9
3)HER GOOD HEART
2)HER ABILITY TO ALWAYS MAKE YOU LAUGH
1)HER SILLY PERSONALITYHER DADDY WOULD SAY SHE GETS THIS FROM HIM BUT IT IS CLEARLY ME!

a little of this and a little of that

2010-05-29T20:53:00.001-04:00

Jays and My Neice came to visit and we did some fun stuff we took her to disney for her first time...well she had been to disneyland just not disney world. we also took a trip to dc. we had a great time and even went to the beach one day. my mom and dad are coming to town for my birthday in just a few days. Im taking my mom to North Carolina to see my step dads family because the only time that my mom has met them was at my dads funeral. and I have only met them one other time however since living in Florida I have reconected with them on facebook. My new step dad is also from Augusta Ga and we will also travel up to see his family. work has been going a little better but is offten stressful at time. Some days I want to quit and stay home with my children. When my mom goes back to oklahoma she is taking the girls with her they will be their for 4 weeks. Im not sure what i will do with my self with out them. I know that they will have fun and be in good hands but still what will I do. JaySea has dropped out of pre-k and I let it happen everyday has been a fight with her she hates to go which makes me wonder what goes on their because she has always loved school and has never been a problem. but the other day I told her you have to so that you can graduate and she told me " MOM IAM NOT WEARING THAT DRESS OR THAT STUPID HAT" well thats just great i paid 30 dollars for that stupid dress and hat!! here are some photos of our trip.

confessions of a mother

2010-05-09T22:15:00.000-04:00

this will more than likely be rambling...but here it goes.. If I showed up at your house with out calling what would your home look like? Most of the time our home looks as if a bomb has gone off. not that it is nasty dirty it is just not as clean as say someone who has ocd... I clean the house on my day off which is on Mondays the rest of the week the house is just picked at. on Mondays I vacuum dust clean bathrooms sweep and mop. do all the laundry and put it away. the rest of the week I get up get everyone ready for work school we leave we come home i make dinner (sometimes) then the kids go to bed Jay and I watch a movie. during the week I do load the dishwasher and run it ( their is not always a lot of dishes depending on what we have eatin) we use paper plates and bowls! ALOT. and the trash is picked up but I dont do laundry or any of the real house cleaning things!! so what do you do everyday for house cleaning?

the other thing I wanted to get off of my chest is about my niece... She is 18 and is getting married tomorrow I cant go into alot of detail about this as some of you know my mother in law and my family reads my blog. I just wish their was something to do about this I know that she is 18 and know body can tell her what to do but I know that this is not the right thing to do she is marrying a 19 year old boy who doesnt even have a job i dont think she has a ring im just upset about this and am asking for prayers for her and him and Divine intervention.

3rd and one a happier note I had a great mothers day...we are still looking for a church home but we got up this morning and went to a church here that I think we can both agree on.. they have a great children's ministry celebrate Recovery, they serve Communion and believe in baptism it is not the one i talked about before Jay didn't like that one.. but he liked this one http://www.ccontheweb.com/ if you want to check it out. then we went to TGI FRIDAYS for lunch and have I mentioned how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Jack Daniels sauce that they put on their rips and steak? IT IS THE BEST... then we came home and I had a mothers day nap after my nap we went to the pool. then when the girls where about to go to bed they brought me a package from VICTORIA SECRET....it is a kind that I wanted for awhile but I still had some so I was waiting until i was out of it. now i have worn this kind for years all most 9.

Yesterday when I came in from work I asked JaySea if they had gotten me anything for mothers day she said "Yes we went to the bra store and got you some perfume" I know that is cheating but I hate not knowing and Jay always tells me he didnt get me anything. I had looked in the van and didnt see anything so I believed him so I had to ask the informant the new kind is called little sexy things and I love it!! hope you all had a great mothers day!!

Random thoughts thursday

2010-05-06T16:48:00.000-04:00

This is the crap I caught when we went fishing off of the peir with Jays Grandma I was the only on who caught anything and the girls where upset we were not going to bring it home and cook it!!

IS IT SUMMER YET always around this time of year i start getting ready for my kids to be out of school... i don't know why however my kids have to go until June the 9th....speaking of June the 9th a few days before that I will have a birthday it seams just like yesterday I turned 30 now I'm already going to be 31 yikes!! Also this month marks ONE year since we left Oklahoma....WOW does it feel like that long to you guys? I feel like we just got here their is still so much to see and do. We went last weekend up to Fernandina beach to the shrimp festival it was okay i don't eat shrimp so I was not as excited as Jay and the Girls were. I still HAVE NOT been to the beach since it warmed back up the kids and Jay have but I have not that is not okay that is why I moved here!!! On Tuesday our niece is coming she will be here for 10 days!!! while she is here we are taking her to DISNEY i don't think she has ever been I will have to go this time :( which is okay i just need to find some Valium... J/K. we are also going to take a trip up to Washington DC. that should be fun. Then the first of June my mom and Step-Dad are driving out. The plan is for them to bring Monica and JaySea Back to Oklahoma with them for 3 weeks...YIKES I don't know if I can make it that long with out my girls. but I know that they will be in good hands. I'm not sure how I'm going to get them back from that trip... I may just have the in laws meet me half way with them that's only a 9 hour drive like that then we can stay the night in a hotel room and come home the next day. AM ready to come to visit everyone I just don't think i can work it out with my Job for this summer so it will more than likely be Christmas before Jay or I come to Oklahoma... but if any of you are coming out this way you are more than welcome to stay with Jay and I. or we can come down to Disney to see you. just let us know. well I guess Ill go make dinner oh yeah pray for JaySea she is sick she keeps getting this thing they tell me is allergies and this time they said she has a sinus infection because of her allergies so just pray that they are giving her the right treatment and that she heals quickly...one more Random thought I would like to take some photography classes does anyone know where one might do that????

24 Days since my last post

2010-04-24T19:26:00.000-04:00

The girls had a great time in Oklahoma... I did miss them a little but The easter bunny got to wait untill the day after Easter to bring their things here so everything was on clearance WHOOT WHOOT!!! while Jays sister was here the girls had a great time we went to see a comedian (Ralphie Mae) very funny guy... then we went deep sea fishing we had a blast I want to go again with a different company and hopefully have better luck.. someone on the boat did get a shark that they didnt want so they gave it to us it wasnt very big. but I dont eat Seafood BUT I LOVE SHARK... it is the best fish you will ever eat so we came home and ate all the fish we had caught... I ALSO FOUND A CR PROGRAM!!! I think I can be happy with and make it too they have cr on Tuesday and they are 5 min from my work so if Jay can get the girls on this day of the week i can go.. Also this church may be the church we start going to they are not COC....but they are called a christian church they take the lords supper everyweek and teach that you have to be baptized...the only differance that i see is that they do have music Ill keep you posted iam going their tomorrow..here are somephotos from the fishing trip...the photos are not that good cause they are off of the website but thats them...

I'm not sorry that I have missed out on all the snow that you guys are getting in Oklahoma!! We have a 4 Day weekend coming up this weekend and Jay the girls and I are going to go to disney again I have to go this time dont get me wrong I like going Jay just wants to go all the time.. He did some painting to day on the house and were going to get some wood floors installed soon but I will take some photos soon of the house with the new paint which reminds me that I need to send my Camera off tomorrow to get fixed I also am taking my Cat to get her declawed I know it is not nice and Im only doing the front ones I called around and most places told me that is was over 400$ someone did tell me to check with a place her in town know for low cost vet they said that it is only 50$ Im a little scared but they have good reviews online so I guess we will see? Im considering starting a blog of random things said by kids while im cutting their hair they are so cute and funny...this week alone I had a little boy and this is how are conversation went...
me: Ask your Mom how your Haircut looks!
Boy: Mom how does my hair look.
Mom: I think it looks great.
Boy: Did you hear that?
Me: Yeah But what do you think of your hair?
Boy: I think it looks FABULOUS!

he was around 3. then on saturday I was cutting a little boys hair he was around 2 and doesnt like to get his haircut so it was a little bit of a struggle the funny thing is he will let me do it he just protest to having it done (crying whinning but for the most part he will sit their) as I was finshing up his haircut I placed him in for lack of a better word a head lock..as im trimming he loudly states "OH GOD HELP ME"

it had to be the funniest thing that I have heard in a long time!
another family I love is this family go to the blog and leave them a encouraging message they have all over come so much I love this girl and just want to hold her forever when she comes in!

Blog world oh how i have missed you!!

2009-12-14T13:31:00.000-05:00

I have been very lazy in the blog world lately,Trust me I have been stocking all of you guys and keeping up with you all. I find it hard to blog lately not because were not doing fun stuff but because I feel like no one wants to hear it!! Since moving we have done lots of fun things I havent really talked about how im adjusting just the fun things we have been doing. I have not attended CR since i moved here this makes me very sad as I love the program and miss being apart of it. the problem is that i live to far away from one I dont get off of work untill 6 and by the time i could get the girls picked up and get back it would be over. I miss my friends so bad. my job has been driving me crazy I like it I just have a hard time with my co-worker. some days she is nice and other days she is just down right nasty!! we havent been going to church very much again because it is 45 min one way... no excusses i know what we should be doing were just being lazy! Jay had applied for a different possition with Napa and we found out today that he did not get it were okay with that we said going into it that if he got it he got it and if not no big deal!! Monica is still hating Florida,, I really dont know how to make it better for her....will she always hate it?? JaySea is just JaySea she goes with the flow!! So that is all the stressful stuff going on with us!!! on a lighter note we spent thanksgiving alone at disney world....it was alot of fun even seen someone from edmond that i knew... none of us had ever been to disney so it was neat to share that moment with my children now if anyone comes to disney we can meet you their that is if you want to see us!! ill get some photos up soon oh yeah were coming to oklahoma for christmas!!!

where is spell check? okay welp sorry about the missed spelled words

The past 2 months and my Life in a nut shell!!

2009-10-19T19:47:00.002-04:00

EVER FEEL LIKE THE WORLD IS AGAINST YOU? The past few months have just been crazy. As most of you know JaySea was Kicked out of school over her birthday...which just made a huge mess in the way our life's where going. Ill start back at the first day of school. The babysitter I had found quit on the day school started because her kids would be napping during that time. I completely understood but it sucked still. So I enrolled the girls in after-care at their school and everything was going great. Labor Day we went down to Orlando to spend the weekend and have JaySea's Birthday. The Tuesday after Labor Day I got a phone call saying that after that day JaySea would not be aloud to come back to school....WHAT?? It seams like since they let her start that they should have to let her finish so we fought that decision for about 2 weeks. and was later told that if I would have went to early enrollment in the early spring in Oklahoma that they would have taken her....So I found a new sitter who would be able to watch the girls for me lives just down the street has a little girl that was in JaySea's class and A boy monicas age and another 3 year old little boy. sounds to good to be true!!! well every things was going good and then today I got a call saying that she is quitting because JaySea and the youngest boy are not getting along. so now Im looking for a new sitter. monica is having a bad time at school and is not doing her work and I cant stay on top of it because Im always at work. so right now things are not going good please pray for us and me.

RANDOM THOUGHTS THURSDAY

2009-08-20T21:16:00.002-04:00

IT HAS BEEN AWHILE SINCE I HAD RANDOM THOUGHTS THURSDAY...AND EVEN LONGER SINCE I HAVE BLOGGED ANYTHING WORTH WHILE....BUT TODAY I HAD A BAD DAY AT WORK SO THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS....I HATE GIRLS......THE REASON THAT I HATE GIRLS IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE ISSUES WE ARE NOT IN HIGH SCHOOL ANY MORE STOP ACTING LIKE IT...I'M 30 YEARS OLD I HAVE NO ROOM FOR YOUR DRAMA. okay now that i have vented i will go into more detail... I have a new job its great i love it the customers are great i love them I love the owner and her aunt that runs the location here they are the best....however i was not supposed to start work in till school started but decided since this is one of the busiest times of the year and i had found a sitter i would go a head and start. since starting the other stylist has been okay up until this week Tuesday she did not show up to work she called and said that she could not find her keys....(okay that means to me you will be in as soon as you find them) she never called back or showed up I cut hair from 10-6 with not so much as a potty break. then yesterday she was over 2 hours late she was at the beauty supply place. then today she called at 10 to say that she was going to court (more about this later) but why did she not say anything yesterday about not coming in??? so the lady who runs the shop thought she would have 2 stylist today well that did not happen until after 12:30 so I was double booked all morning...so she told Barb that I'm trying to steal her customers because i talk to them WHAT???? I'm just being friendly that's just me I'm sorry I'm not going to walk pass someone who's just sitting their not doing anything and not speak to them... then their was a cut that came in that she took (when it was my turn) i did not say anything but Barb did. then I thought her and Barb was going to hit each other. (keep in mind the customer was right their)...when she first came in today she looked at me and said you know me and you are going to fight about my parking spot that i park in everyday. ( I thought to myself really maybe if you came to work on time or ever you could park where you want!!!) so the court thing is that her 18 year old son was shot in April by his half brother who was playing with a gun... and they have pressed charges on him and I'm really sorry for her to have to go though this pain... but apparently she had a lot of drama before this happened. Barb said that she has had days where she has not even had a stylist....so my question is way has she not been fired???? sorry i just had to vent!!!

DINNER IS SERVED!!!

2009-08-13T08:48:00.003-04:00

see the post below for the story... having a hard time with this stupid thing today

DINNER IS SERVED!!!

2009-08-12T20:24:00.002-04:00

So I started my job today..(well I have worked a few days to feel in) but today was the offical start day. Have I mentioned that I LOVE IT. It is by far the best place I have ever worked...their is only one other stylist that works their so their is not a lot of Drama that comes along with hairdessers!!! so that is fantastic I still love Florida...The school that the Girls will go to is the best I had no idea how great it would be... I took them to enrollment on Monday and was unsure if JaySea was going to be able to start kindergarten or not if you remeber I had rubbed her birthcertificate so that you could not see her date of birth but chickened out before I got their and just told the truth. My mother always told me to tell the truth that it would keep you out of trouble... I just well have told the lady that JaySeas birthday was the 1st of september they were like well do you want her in kindergarten and i said yeah she has already had pre-k and they said sure NO PROBLEM!!! what no let me repeat myself her birthday is September 2nd 2004 are you sure their is not a problem. yeah no problem. So JaySea started kindergarten camp yesterday she loves it and the teachers say she is doing great..Also we have a babysitter who lives just down the street and turns out she is best friends with the lady that is going to be Jayseas Teacher... Monica turned 9 last week i still cant belive that my baby is 9 man I feel old...well the topic of tonights post today before I left for work i placed a roast in the oven complete with potatoes and carrots I had it all planed out I thought about it allday (sure hope the oven came on when it was supposed to) well I came home to a wonderful smell of roast cooking in the oven their was 25 min left I was talking to Jay on the phone said that it was almost done he said great Ill be home in about that time. so i did not ever check it well maybe I should have this is what it looked like when I got home

well we left on friday night and went to Orlando, the plan was to stay the night at a hotel get up at 5 be gone by 5:30 to the space center to watch a launch at 7:17am.... well we got up and everyone was almost ready monica was dressed jay was dressed and i was almost dressed about to wake up JaySea when Jay flipped on the Tv and across the bottom of the screen, Launch cancelled due to a gas leak..... oh well now we wait for it to be fixed and try again if they launch on a weekend.... if not oh well so we went back to bed. then we got up and spent the day at universal studios..... then we went back today it was fun. Living in a vacation destination has its perks!!!!

this past week has been good all family and friends left on wend. and we spent our first night alone in our new house!!!! we LOVE florida their is so much to do here... thursday the girls and I had lunch with Jay went to the library and got a card Jayse is old enough to have her own now she was so proud!!! friday we went to a place down on Jax beach that has family movies night every friday in the summer.... very nice they had sand bottles facepainting and moon bounces all for free VERY COOL, saturday Jay had to work he will be on a rotation for weekends for a little while.. so the Girls and I went to MOSH museum of science and history which is like the omniplex but smaller.... then Saturday night Jay took me shopping for my birthday at kohls my new fav. to shop at!!!! Sunday I TURNED 30 which i guess is not so bad. the girls got me some cute statues for the yard love them then the girls and I went to church they promoted the kids to their new grades which I had not remembered but JaySea would not have gone to mrs. mcbrides class had we stayed at MRCC because she is going to K next year not pre-k so she would have skipped ahead of her friends this year which would have been strange after Jay got home we went to get me some purfume and then to dinner.... tonight I went to a new CR program and I like it they have not been going for two long...

Jan (mother in law) thought it would be cheaper to go to walmart and get air beds instead of getting a hotel room we only needed 2 so it was.... Monday we unpacked the uhaul and for dinner had some burgers and stuff i was making good progress on Monday but seam to slow down later on in the week Tuesday we went to the beach for the first time it was great. Wen. we just went to church oh and my in laws went to the beach with the kids.... Thursday everyone went out site seeing and myself and the girls stayed home.... and on Friday everyone went to the beach and i stayed home makes it nice to be able to put up all the things... I have taken the weekend off... we really like the church and their were folks who remembered us from March!!! I have not been to CR in two weeks and I can so tell... I was hoping to go on Monday however Jays Family is staying until Monday morning which is fine with us but today our best friends called and said they will be here Monday evening and stay until wen. morning... they live in North Carolina and he is in the ARMY and just got home for his R&R. so we should have a busy next few days!!!! as i said we love it here and are happy with the choices we have made!!! here are alot of photos..... the ones of the house are not so good i will take more when i get everything put up!!

Then on Sunday night we had a whole class BK night at the park the bible class passed around some envelopes and collected a gas fund to help us very nice and one couple gave us a gift card for target new bathroom rugs here i come.

MOVING DAY IS NEAR!!!!

2009-05-04T10:38:00.002-04:00

Okay so I just realized my last post was almost the same as the one before it!!! We are leaving very soon May 23 is the day that the truck will be packed and pull out! this is exciting and sad all at the same time!! the reality has really hit home this weekend.... I don't like Goodbyes never have never will I cant process them so if you say something nice to me and I snub you or say Ill see you again please do not take it personal its just my way of coping with all of this it has been a very emotional weekend for me with alot of mixed feelings I want to go I'm excited to go and I cant wait however I'm said to leave all of you guys behind I wish you all could come with me!! I'm nervous about a new church and making new friends! but I'm excited the church is smaller so maybe that will make it easier! I'm also alittle bit scared that we will stop going to church all together with out anyone to hold us accountable to attend, I'm sad about leaving CR and really hope that I find a program to get in quickly.well that's it if your ever in Florida and need a cheap place to stay the night you are all welcome to stay with us at our house! ( wherever that may be)! I just felt like I should release some feelings and let you know why you may feel like the words you say to me are not taken to heart trust me they are!! I just cant process it(with out crying) I cant even type it with out crying!

Garage Sale!!!!!!!

2009-05-01T12:33:00.002-04:00

well I had a garage sale last Saturday and did pretty good like 170.00$ ... the neighborhood sale is Saturday so I thought id put my stuff back out today and tomorrow to day i have already made 120$ and I still have a lot of stuff to sale!! Jay got a call on Wednesday from the boss in florida offering him a good area with good stores (2) with a company car... were not sure how much it pays right now because the guy was busy yesterday and told Jay he would call him back this afternoon.... the area is a little further North than we have been looking at but closer to the church we want to go to... we have decided that we are renting a condo for the summer on the beach so we can decided what area we want to live in and the drive time to and from work!! the bad news is if Jay takes this position he will leave much sooner than we thought ( around the 11th) so pray for me as I really struggle with staying alone at night so this is very hard for me and scares me greatly... the girls and I will stay until school is out!! Also we still have not made a choice on what to do with the house here!! however the neighbors moved last weekend so their house is for sale!!!!! everyone have a good weekend!!

Tuesday Random because i skipped last Thursday and I can

2009-04-28T21:50:00.002-04:00

Okay so it has been a few days since i posted anything lets see what all i have done in that time... Dropped my phone in a glass of milk I know how do you do this? you may ask well i was sitting in my recliner sideways I always do this i had a glass of milk between my legs (it was a coffee cup) and i put my phone on my knee and in a min or two it fell off of my leg and into the milk it sucked but I got a really cool new phone the G1... its great. we have decided that we are going to live in a condo for the summer while we look for a house it is so hard to pick over the Internet and i think it would be wise to look when we get their the good news is i will not go back to work until the end of summer which is nice me and the girls can spend the summer on the beach... I had a garage sale!!! i made a 170$ and I'm having another one this weekend... we only have 5 weeks left at mrcc until we leave this makes me sad!!! okay this is my Random Tuesday!!!

Thursday Thursday

2009-04-16T11:00:00.002-04:00

Notice how I only post on Thursday these days!! well we are really busy we still have not found a house yet we have a few in mind just have not picked yet we also have not decided on what to do with are current home one day were going to sell it the next he wants to rent it... who knows what will happen we painted the cabinets last night i cant post a photo as i have lost the charger to my camera Jay is less than pleased about this!!! ( I think I tossed it in the trash oops) We are moving in less than 6 weeks when i say it like this i feel very over whelmed but its true I'm giving my testimony 5 times in the month of May ( man that's a lot) I did not get a lot of comments the other day so i know that you guys will go ahead and post some this week I know my life is not really interesting but if you stop by please let me know!! also if you are any kind of teacher or if you are bothered by poor spelling and run on sentences then you have to stop reading my blog!! Grammar was never my thing come to think of it school was never my thing! I guess i should get ready for work before I'm late I'm so ready for school to be out!!

here it is my Thursday Love!!!

2009-04-09T23:41:00.003-04:00

I AM a bad speller in case you did not notice... I'm very excited to be leaving this state that never knows what the temp is going to be and were the WIND is crazy like it is here.
also wished deep down for a fire to burn my house ( oh come on i wouldn't have to move it) plus I could get all new stuff (PS we were not home while i was wishing that and if you or someone you know lost a house tonight I'm truly sorry for you. anyway more Random things at JaySea's school for like the past month they have been having passover services now this is all strange to me and I do not understand it all and i am sure it is done in the most meaningful way however i do not agree with it but did take their Communion which by the way IS NOT GRAPE JUICE!!! however i find it very tasty and would like to ask the priest what the brand and flavor is so i can pick some up for myself however i do not believe that would be nice can you see me "EXCUSE ME FATHER I WAS JUST WONDERING WHAT IS THE BRAND OF WINE YOU USE, YES THAT CORRECT I'M CHURCH OF CHRIST" well that is all the randomness i have for this fine Thursday evening hope you and your families are safe from the fires

ONE MORE THING IM SICK OF NOT HAVING COMMENTS!!! DRIVES ME CRAZY SO COMMENT AWAY OR ILL TRACK YOU DOWN!!

Gina this ones for you Thursday!!

2009-03-26T10:27:00.004-04:00

Okay first random thought Gina no fear my random thoughts will never be as good as your or Summers for that matter...

I have been trying all week to get my things in order to get a cosmetology licence in Florida since I will be working their the cost is killing me first it was $80 then i found out that I had to take a test on HIV/AIDS which was scary but turns out you don't pay for the test until you pass well I passed the first time with a 90 so that cost another $55 and now I have to go to the Oklahoma Board of cosmetology and pay another $10 to get copies of my test and a certification of my licence.... so that is a cost of $ 145.00 geezer.

I'm excited for JaySea to go to school ALL-DAY next year so that I can work again the extra income will be nice.... (I'm a little worried that they will not take her birth certificate)

the reason I'm worried about this is because I have folded it ever so carefully over her date of birth so that it you cant see what it says!! and I have been teaching her that her birthday is September 2nd.. I believe that we had a sermon on this Gray matter....

yesterday I spent $80 on my self I got 2 pairs of jeans and 2 shirts a pack of socks and a pair a shoes this is the first time i have done this in a long time (it felt good) well now its off to work have a very random day!

Driving home Saturday....

2009-03-21T14:09:00.002-04:00

so we are on the way home I'm sitting in the car bored!!! while i ride! we just spent 45 min in traffic in Atlanta not so fun... we left this morning at 7:00 am Oklahoma time (we were supposed to leave at 4 am but somebody (not going to name any names but it was not me) turned the alarm off... so we were late now it will be 3am when we get home so much for church... we are moving to Florida for sure we like it their the school is Great and they have all day kindergarten (yes) so with that i think i might go back to work full time why not they will be in school all day so what else would i do while they were at school.. I have not smoked any cigarettes in 15 days now and don't plan to start back up the price is crazy i refuse to pay that for them they are over 5$ a pack now i stopped back in the summer and started back up but only because i wanted to this time i don't want too.. on every Saturday i make jay give me 40$ which is the amount of money i would have spent on cigarettes for the week and i get to spend it on what ever i want too. Last week i got a pedicure.. and if I don't smoke all the way until my birthday I think I will get a tattoo.. JaySea learned how to swim while we were gone she does pretty good i cant post photos right now because I'm not sure where the camera is some where in this car maybe ill look for it whenever Jay Stops to get gas I have to pee I really hope it is soon i told him 2 hours ago i needed to stop and Monica does also. what is it with men they think the car should only stop if it needs gas. What????? that's only 3 stops one every 400 miles. I don't know about you but i cant hold it for 4 hundred miles!!!

Freaky Facts Friday

2009-03-20T09:48:00.006-04:00

okay here's a couple of freaky facts about things in my life that Freak me out...

Spiders are gross this is one reason i will never be go to the desert.

I'm also scared of turning 30 in a few months... when i was little i would tell my mother when she was 30 i was putting her in a nursing home... ( their is the same amount of years between me and Monica as me and my mother)

next I'm deathly afraid of heights... much more than a foot off of the ground i start to freak out I love roller coasters as long as i don't have to wait along time in line up high. and i keep my eyes closed the whole time. when jay asked me to be his girl friend we were on the Ferris wheel and i was sitting in the floor with my legs and arms wrapped around a pole because i can not do Ferris wheels....

Last I can not stand to be alone, hate to do things alone anything that means i have to be alone scares me not so bad during the day but at night it is almost imposable.

okay that's the Freaky Facts about me lets here some freaky facts about you!!!

some of you know and some of you dont know but Jay and the Girls and I have been in Florida looking at churches ,Schools, Jobs ,and of course homes... everything seams to be pointing for us to move here.. we found a great church with lots of ways to serve the Lord, The Schools that we have looked at have been amazing...( we have talked with a friend who used to live here who says the public schools here are better than cassady in okc) all of the schools also have all-day k which JaySea could go to... which means i would go back to work during the day!!! Jays job is not a problem he will just transfer with Napa .. so it is offical we will be moving to Florida when school is out ( the first of June) now we are keeping are house in Oklahoma so we will be renting it out if you know anyone who is looking for a house.. let me know i know it is hard to pray for friends when you dont want them to go but please pray that we are following Gods will for are lives... that he will take care of everything.. also pray for are families that they will understand why we are going...

Jay and I are in Florida looking for a house and things we found out last night that they would be sending the spaceship discovery to the space center we talked about going to titusville which is where the NASA center is but it is 2 hours from where we are.. and a few years ago we were here on the 4th of July and on are way to key west when they sent one up we did not go to that one but pulled off of the road and was able to see a smoke trail... after talking about it we came to the conclusion that we would not make it in time so that we would just watch from the beach were we were. we were both pleased with what we saw and will try to make it to one from a closer view point.. here are a few photos okay i can never get the photos to work when i want them too.. ill try again tomorrow if you just cant wait they are on facebook go look their!

Friends I just had to Blog about how great our God is! you have no idea what to plan for in a program like this and you often think what if no one shows up we have spent the last few months Praying for God to send us the teens for this program and that they would fill okay about coming and sharing there hurts with us, we have asked the parents to trust us and not question their Teens if they asked to come , and we have prayed to have enough leaders to handle the teen load.. I have been AMAZED at Gods power today it has been a wonderful encouraging day we had 39 teens show up that's right 39 tonight when you say your prayers please thank God for each and everyone of those teens ( he knows who they are) and a Church that is open to supporting a program like this!! their are a few Teens I know who tried to come today and Satan won the battle in keeping them away in some form or fashion but, please keep them in your prayers too, because OUR GOD IS MUCH BIGGER THAN SATAN!! if you know a teen who would benefit from this program please let me know and i would be happy to share more about the program! packman3@att.net or you can email me for my cell!!

Great trip

2009-02-09T19:54:00.002-05:00

okay so i know this is late we had a great time on our trip..... while you guys were freezing in the ice and snow i was laying on the beach. I know so unfair.... our cursie left out of Charleston South Carolina it was great everyone their was very friendly. we made a few friends on the boat that was fun we hung out with this group of people everyday!! and had dinner every night, we really had alot of fun. their was a small fire the first night we did not see it the caption just came on and spoke alot of code then about 5 min later he came on and said their was no reason to be alarmed it was just a small short circuit WHAT!!!! no reason to be alarmed excuse me if I'm in the middle of the ocean and their is a fire I'm going to alarmed... I guess that's why he spoke in code to keep everyone like me from freaking out ( I may have jumped over board).... Anyway other than that it was great. Since we have come home we have been talking about moving.... Jay and I have always lived in Oklahoma (well I did live in Texas for around a year) but we have talked about moving before but we never do honestly i think we are scared to leave our families. we have been talking about it every night and have even started looking at the housing we know we want to live one of two places Charleston SC or Jacksonville Fl we have looked at both markets. Jay can transfer with Napa so a Job is no issue the thing we cant decide is sell are house or rent it? if we sell it and move what if we want to come home! if we rent it we would have a house if we wanted to come back home so my thoughts are rent it for a year and see what we think and if we like it then sell the house... I just ask right now that you pray for God to Guide us to do what his will is and if this is the right thing to do or not.

LIFE HURTS GOD HEALS

2009-01-20T20:01:00.003-05:00

so this is a program for hurting teens they can be hurting for so many reasons things from the boy who i like broke up with me to i cut myself because my father left when i was little. Really if you think back to your childhood church or no church you probley had things happen to you that you wished you could have talked about to someone other than your parents, I know i did i was always afraid i would hurt their feelings. Memorial Road will be offering this 13 week support group to teens age 11- 18 starting Feb. 22nd if your Teen or a teen you know could use this program please bring them it will be on Sunday's from 3-5. The Reason that iam so passionate about this program is because we had a pretty hard time with one of our neices from 13 until about 15( and still but has gotten much better she is 17 now) I wish their would have been something out their for her. if you have any questions about it please give me a call. here is some things i pulled off of the web site

Doug and I started Life Hurts God Heals at Saddleback Church because, sadly, our hurting kids had no place to go for life-changing support. We started with just a few students, but then word got out to the surrounding community, and it began to grow. Now we are looking for a bigger room! So we made it available for all of you. Since then, Life Hurts God Heals has sold nearly 7,000 copies to people and places all over the country. In the obvious places such as the church, but also the not-so-obvious places like juvenile treatment centers, residential homes and yes, even public schools.It's incredible to see it out there, but even more awesome to hear the stories coming in. like 16-year-old Michael, who has visited juvi more times than he can count. He showed up to lhgh an atheist addicted to meth, and left a young man believing in god and living sober (now, almost a year). Then there is 18-year-old courtney, who basically lived on the streets like a prostitute addicted to men and alcohol, who testifies that Life Hurts God Heas is "home" and has been sober for eight months.Here's the deal: Life Hurts God Heals works because teenagers and young adults get lifelong tools to help them through their pain. Having taught through the Life Hurts God Heals I am beyond excited to see how god is using Life Hurts God Heals in both christian and secular environments. It blows me away! But god does these things, doesn't he? We just show up and let god use us in the lives of hurting kids and mountains move.
Amazing.

Testimonials
"I went to LHGH thinking maybe just maybe someone could help me cause the shrinks and anti-depressants weren't cutting it. And wow this whole experience so far has been amazing. My outlook on life has changed so much. I know I'm just beginning my road to becoming healed..." - Allie, 16

“I was addicted to porn since I was 9 years old. What started out as a curious “hobby” began to creep into the crevice of every area of my life. …like a drug that I had to use. Then I heard of this 8-step group called Life Hurts God Heals. I went and realized it was more than a program - it was a safe place to be…me. While there, I told my small group leaders about my addiction and that’s when my journey to healing started. We started applying the 8 steps to every aspect of my addiction and it helped me so much! Finally! – Carter, 16

“I showed up at Life Hurts-God Heals and God just kind of opened the doors. When other guys in my group opened up, I realized it was a safe place to be open too.” – Jon, 15

“The main reason I joined LHGH is because I never have accepted myself. I’ve always thought I wasn’t good enough. I would wonder why God put me here. To get away from the pain, I would eat. Now, I am in Life Hurts God Heals and receiving steps that I can actually apply to my life to help turn my bad choices into good ones.” – Steph, 18

“I don’t know about you, but my life hurts. I needed help and Life Hurts God Heals gave me that help through other people’s support and openness. I am on my way!” – Paul, 17
“I joined life hurts God Heals because I got kicked out and had to live with my dad and I just wanted to start over…now I have new friends from LHGH who understand and steps to help me when I want to blow it.” – Theresa, 14

“I had the “perfect” family but then realized that what we looked like on the outside was not what we were on the inside. I found out I was bipolar and ended up being sent away for three years for my problems…eating disorder, drugs, sex, Satanism, suicide…you name it. While I was away, my parents started to radically change for the better and told me I had to try out LHGH when I returned home. So I did. At first the God stuff killed me. I hated it. But then I realized that the leaders were real people with a real relationship with God and I ended up liking what LHGH was all about. I am still figuring it all out, but LHGH was a cool place to start.” - Danelle, 17

My Hope in Celebrate Recovery!!!!

2009-01-13T20:53:00.003-05:00

okay i know i have not posted in along time... but I've been busy as you know I'm very involved in Celebrate Recovery I love this program I have found lots of healing their here's the funny part its not just for people who have drug addictions! hum go figure anyway we will be starting a group kinda like this for teens in Feb. If only i would have had a program like this growing up it would have saved me alot of hurt that's not the point of this post the point is I wanted to share my story with those of you who do not attend CR. so here it is I hope that you find it encouraging....

My Hope In Celebrate Recovery
My Name is Rebecka O’Neal I’m a grateful believer in Jesus Christ. I ‘am an adult survivor of rape, a childhood survivor of sexual abuse. I struggle with anger, resentment, a need to control and a nicotine addiction, I Celebrate Recovery in offering Forgiveness to those who have hurt me and asking those I have hurt to forgive me.
(wait)
When I first started coming to CR it was for one thing I wanted to share my story with others and how I had overcome things in my past. Little did I know I had a lot more overcoming to do than I realized. My childhood was what I would have referred to as normal but looking back it’s just a matter of what level of dysfunction we were in at the time. through out my childhood I was abused by a great uncle a cousin and my half brother these were all things that happened that I would really not deal with until becoming a adult. when I was a senior in high school I was ready to start my life The one that I would control, I had even met a boy who I was pretty sure was the one. Things started to go downhill. I believe that god places people in our lives for reasons we may not understand at the time. The months that followed were emotionally draining the death of my grandmother and Father sent my mother’s depression in a downhill spin. This started the Grief and anger I still sometimes fill, I still struggle with the lost of my father this is something I have only recently identified. Coming to CR has given me a relationship with a father that can never be taken away from me. It also gives me hope that one day I will see my earthly father in heaven. Shortly after the death of my father. I started my life with that boy I told you I was sure was the one turns out I was right. In October of 1998 our home was broken into. Jay was at work and I was at home alone. I was awakened in the middle of the night being suffocated by a stranger. I remember during the attack praying to a god that I felt I was than less than worthy of receiving answered prayers from. Well he did hear my prayers and he spared my life. For this I felt grateful, the next seven years just went by every once in awhile I would call the osbi agent and ask for a update I was pretty sure I was not going to settle as just another victim with nothing ever happening. In January of 2005 I received a phone call from the osbi saying that they had made a match to the dna that was removed from the scene. Being that it was 7 years after the fact it opened up a whole new can of worms that I thought was long buried. After my attacker was arrested I had to attending court proceedings it was during this time that I had started going to church and was in a bible study on the book of Romans. I started thinking that if I wanted to be forgiven that I need to forgive the people who had hurt me. I was not sure how I was going to do that I was pretty sure it was going to be hard but I was willing to give it a try. At church on Sunday mornings they were doing a sermon series on recovery. At first I thought that maybe I could come there and share my story with others who had also been abused. In October 2006, I was able to read a letter to my attacker on the witness stand 8 years to the exact day of my attack. when I wrote the letter I had not completely forgiven him but I was ready to start one of the things that I have learned at CR is that holding on to grudges and resentments has caused me more pain than the things that have happened in my life. The day after the court hearing I started CR. It was very scary coming hear the first night but after coming here I quickly realized that the people hear were just like me everyone in the room was hurting many for the same reasons that I was hurting. my second time here I remember someone coming up to me after small group and hugging me that meant a lot to me because she did not know me at all but she cared about me. It did not take long for me to realize this was where I needed to be if I wanted to offer forgiveness to those who had hurt me. The step that has helped me the most in recovery has been the personal inventory and writing my testimony… step four helped me realize I had other issues that I needed to work on for me before I could help others, sharing my Testimony has given me hope that I can help others who may be struggling with the same things as me. Since being in recovery I have been in two step-studies once as a participant and once as a leader this is a important part of CR it helps you to identify all your issues and get to the bottom of things it also helps you develop a support system. The ladies that have been in these groups have forever changed my life, I have a friendship with each of them on some level and will cherish them always. I love coming to CR I love watching the people who have came after me grow so much in their relationships with Christ they are truly a inspiration to all. Everyone in this room is truly a part of my family I know I can take off my mask and be myself when I’m here and I know longer have to be alone. October is no longer a month in which I fill depressed it’s the month I’ am the happiest and fill the strongest whenever I got my one year chip it was a great night I shared my testimony it was the first time I felt that I had truly overcome this chapter in my life the filling of overcoming is a powerful filling I’m positive that I did not do this alone everything I am today is because of god and the family and friends I have found in Cr. If you would have met me 2 years ago you may not have wanted to be my friend I was angry hurting and had walls that were so high you needed a ladder to see over. Today I’m more open less angry and lot more friendly and you don’t have to bring a ladder along with you. Dealing with my mother’s depression has also gotten easier I no longer fill responsible for her happiness but for my own Cr has helped me in setting and keeping healthy boundaries with her and our relationship has only grown. In closing I would like to share my favorite step as well as few scriptures that I find encouraging
Step 9 ( for abuse Group reads)
We extended forgiveness to ourselves and to those who have harmed
us, realizing this is an attitude of the heart, not always confrontation.
We made direct amends to those we had harmed, except when to do so
would injure them or others. This sometimes is hard but I know that forgiveness is the right thing to do. Hebrew 13:6 says "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." 6So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"With god on my side I no longer have to live in fear of man I know that the lord will protect me and keep me safe. I am a survivor of a adult Rape and childhood sexual abuse I only recently started my introduction this way I felt as if Rape was such a harsh word and it is but I quickly found I was candy coating things for myself not the audience the truth is I’ am a survivor of Rape John 8:32 states Then you will know the Truth and the truth will set you free. and friends My chains are gone and I have been set free.

( which would have been 10$ the cost of the cake) but the joy was in her winning and how excited she was so here is the other photo of the cake (it was really tasty) you just have to brush your teeth after the black icing stains bad!!!

Monica will be 8 tomorrow it makes me very sad. i still remember the first time i seen her and that i knew at that moment love at first sight was very real. and what a amazing god we have. I'm ready for school to start sorta JaySea starts Prek this year scary I know she will be 4 soon. so i will be looking for a job if anyone knows of any? (child care center) or (hair salon). I Just need something where i'm home on weekends and off when the kids are home. who knows also Monica will be having surgery on her hand Sept. the 4th and will miss 3 weeks of school right at the beginning this upsets me because back in march he told me to wait until summer so she would not miss any school so i took her in the week school got out and he said that he could not get her in until Sept why did he not just put her down when we were their in march. stupid if you ask me so that should be fun? ill try to upload some photos. its not working man!!! that makes me mad

prayers for my mom

2008-06-23T18:21:00.002-04:00

so on Friday after VBS I got a call from my mother who had just left the doctors office... she was told that she has several blockages in her heart and some stuff on her thyroid she will be having a angiogram on the 30th and is waiting for a appointment with a cancer doctor. I'm a little worried about this because my Grandmother passed away when she was only 68 years old from heart trouble and my mom's oldest brother died at 55 from the same my mother will be 50 in aug. (I also lost my dad when he was only 42) so I know she is not to young for this to be a worry. not sure how I fill about the Thyroid thing. now for the prayers for my self those of you who know me well know that I do not stay by myself at night I have not for the past 9 years (since Jays and my house was broken into) it just so happens that Jay does not have to be away from home at all but he is away until wen. this is only the second time in 9 years so please pray for my safety and worry about this ( we do own a gun now ) so it is alittle better knowing that. last night as I was trying to go to sleep wondering what the kids and I will do while he is gone I got to thinking that I have never lived by myself I went strait to living with jay out of high school so it is weird to be alone. anyway sorry for the long post but please keep me and my mother in your prayers

Okay past few days birthday party and start of blast-ball and baseball! well I had a pretty good birthday I did not get anything cool or exciting because I got it for mothers day so I was out of luck! but I did have ice cream and cake a few times lets see Friday I just hung out with my hubby with no kids always nice. Then on Saturday ( my birthday ) we got up went to breakfast at " Round the Corner" which I love it has that small town fill to it for those of you who do not know where it is. it is in downtown edmond then off to the farmers market then to some yard sales then we tried to go see kung fu panda but they were sold out we were going to the one on MLK and eastern which if you did not know this because i didnt their childrens and early shows are only 3.50 and adults after 6 are only 5.50 so much cheaper than amc. but beware i was poked in the foot by a spring and Jay ripped a shirt on a screw. they did how ever replace his shirt. we went sunday night late. also on Saturday we went to the bible class party in the summit then to my mothers for cake and ice cream. Sunday after church we went to Jay's Moms for lunch and Ice cream. The girls started baseball and blastball tonight was their first practice's and they will have their first games on Monday and Tuesday. should be fun. Monica had her lets have surgery drs appt yesterday and he said that it will be the last of Aug early sept. the bad news is that she will miss 2 maybe 3 weeks at the first of the school year which is no fun. but she really needs the surgery she has a hard time buttoning her pants which this will help so was that long enough. here is some photos from everything their not as cool as my friend deedee's which Im sad about but i should make it if anyone knows how i can do that color accent thing with a dslr please let me know!!!! oh yeah the father daughter tea party too Thanks for the cool photos Nicole. they were great. and the others are of the brick that my parents bought for the grandkids and put at the zoo the funny thing is that my stepdad used to work at the zoo but is retired now and sometimes works their when they need him so he is the one who put these bricks in. he does all of them when they are ordered.. so now the photos again sorry for the long post its been a few days! okay i cant get them to upload sorry i will try later to upload them!

My Birthday

2008-06-07T00:37:00.002-04:00

So as this week has gone by I have made the choice that this will be my last birthday I will never be thirty the reason why is I don't want too. so I'm pretty sure if I go to bed on June the 6th and I don't wake up until the 8th that i have missed my birthday their for staying the same age forever! Right?

End of school, Memorial Day and the start to summer

2008-05-28T18:03:00.004-04:00

I hope everyone had a good Memorial Day we just stayed around town with gas prices who can afford anything else? Monica is now a third grader it just makes me so sad.... here are some photos from the last few weeks i think i may have got my camera figured out. and I like it

okay

2008-05-16T09:58:00.001-04:00

so the new blog is up if you want to check it out i will not blog their often just to update stuff with Monica and maybe as she gets older she can use it as a release for how she fills about her thumbs

http://mychildhashypoplasticthumbs.blogspot.com/

new blog

2008-05-14T16:17:00.002-04:00

I have been inspired to start a blog about Monica and her illnesses Last night I got a phone call from my best friend who said that she had seen on news 9 a story about a little girl who had hands like Monica Turns out it was not a story but it was a integris medical minute it gave the little girls name and her mothers name i went strait to myspace and typed it in and found the mother they live here local her and my self spent a sometime on the phone this afternoon and we are going to let the girls meet each other and hopeful they will become friends for years to come.. Keira has some other things going on besides the hypo plastic thumbs but she seams to be a survivor her mother has written a book about her. since the very beginning of all of this with Monica i have wished their was another mother i could talk with for support and a mentor for Monica i can not tell you how excited iam to have the ability to talk with this mother and her child and i hope that i can be a inspiration to her and Monica to her daughter. i will let you know when i get the new blog up i want it to be a place where other mothers can find hope with dealing with this and see just how normal their child's life may end up being

Mothers Day when i remember what a good husband i have

2008-05-14T11:55:00.002-04:00

I told Jay that I wanted a new camera for Mothers Day a few weeks ago. so after not speaking all weekend (that's a different story ) i figured that i would be getting nothing for Mothers Day but after making up on Sunday Morning very early or late Saturday which ever Jay got up gave the girls baths made them breakfast and dressed them for church after church we went to his moms for lunch were he made the kids plates then off to my moms after we left my moms he asked if i wanted to go to best buy to get a camera which I love. but after fighting all weekend i fell truly blessed to have such a loving and wonderful husband that i more than should take advantage of. he is a great supporter he does a great job taking care of us it is because of him that i get to stay home with his children. most husbands would have not bought their wives something after she acted like their 3 year old all weekend i guess that's just part of being married! Thanks honey for all you do for me and the girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SonShine School and Most embarrassing moment

2008-05-08T22:42:00.004-04:00

so most of you who read my blog were their so i guess i don't need to do any explaining but in my defense she does not like pantie hose and i guess i should have left them off of her because that is what she was doing was messing with her pantie hose she does know after are very long talk that you do not show your panties at church and that i was upset with her but the rest of the program was really cute and every ones kids did a great job I'm sad that JaySea will not be with her friends next year but that's okay she will meet back up with them in first grade well she will be with Reagan and Avery but luckily she will see them at church anyway i should get some rest I'm sure i will get a call from the elders tomorrow about appropriate behavior

I dislike storms!!!!

2008-05-08T22:24:00.003-04:00

Monica found the hell bouncing very funny!

so anyone who knows me very well at all knows that I'm terrified of storms if Gary is on I'm glued to the TV i grew up on Gary their for i fill that he is the best in the whole wide world he is the God of the weather i think that God calls him up and says hey Gary we have storms coming and this is how it is going down... so if Gary England dies i will be at his funeral! so yesterdays storm came a little to close for my comfort level now that i have children i do have to maintain myself this sometimes is hard to do I'm thankful that Jay was home or it would have been a lot worst we were in are safe area which is our bedroom it is the only room in the house that does not have a massive amount of windows or exterior walls.......

God's Little Challanges

2008-04-10T11:04:00.002-04:00

So you grow up meet the man of your dreams get married have kids and live happily ever after..... until god decides otherwise. As some of you may know Monica has hypoplastic thumbs on both hands her left is much worst than her right and the 2 arm bones in her left arm are fused together. no big deal she gets along just fine the hardest thing is the kids at school this year has been better than last year but their has still been some name calling and things. She will have surgery this summer to straighten out her thumb a little more. She has been having these headaches that cause vomiting so i took her to the doctor on Monday he said just to watch the headaches and see what happens but while i was their i asked if he thought that we should do a full body e-ray just to see what else may be going on with her bones so we did he called yesterday to tell me that she has scoliosis it is only 12 degrees right now but he wants her to go to a ortropedic surgeon and see what we need to do i know that this could be alot worst then it is so I'm grateful for that i'am angry that this could end up being just one more thing that she has to deal with in her life time i don't know right now what the treatment will be or how bad it is or will get I'm thinking that they will just want to watch it and see for right now see what happens I'm just trying to be positive but i do keep thinking the worst maybe its so i can handle it when they tell me the worst just pray for her and her ability to handle it and deal with it and not to see it as a sat back and to know that she is perfect just the way god made her....... I just dont understand why god puts so much on us and maybe i'm not supposed to understand and maybe I'm just supposed to trust in him and know that he will take care of it and that everything happends for the glory of god and i'm sure it is all some plan of his but its hard to trust when you dont know

11 years today

2008-04-05T11:21:00.003-04:00

My father had skin like leather hands like steel from a lifetime spent in the cottonfields though he'd come home tired and dirty almost every night he found the strength to smile at me and hold my mama tight while that old transistor radio would play the opry out in the hall I'd sit and watch their shadows glide across the wall

and they'd dance to a Dixie lullaby picture of love beneath the southern sky oh my what a beautiful life just like a Dixie lullaby

i left home at 18 in a hand me down Chevrolet packed my mamas goodness and my old mans stubborn ways it was college, work, and love then the babies came the youngest ones got his granddaddy's name and in the early morning hours when my children could not sleep.I'd rock them in my arms to a simple beat

and id sing them a Dixie lullaby hush baby don't you start to cry oh my what a beautiful life just like a Dixie lullaby

my father was a mountain of a man that was the description that i gave the morning that we laid him in his grave there with my mama by his side, we said our last goodbye to a man we thought would never die as i stood there in the fields of amazing grace oh how the tears ran down my face.

and i sang him a Dixie lullaby well meet again, by and by oh my what a beautiful life just like a Dixie lullaby oh my what a beautiful life just like a Dixie lullaby

this is a song by pat green that i just love i cant listen to it because it makes me cry everytime.

losing a parent at so young in life is hard you fill robbed and cheated their is so much he missed he died 1 month before i graduated high school he did not get to walk me down the asile he missed the births of my children and the joys of being their granddaddie (sometimes im happy he missed this part. they are too spoiled as it is) my greatest fear in life is dying and leaving my children. this morning jay and i was talking about a friend of our whos father is dying and jay said well maybe thats the way you want them to go . death is never easy no matter how old or sick my father would have been 43 on his birthday 3 weeks after he died he had never been ill he just had a massive heart attach i chose this way because he called from work said he did not fill well and was coming home told me he loved me and then talked to my mother and told her the same and never made it home I'm so greatful that i did not have to watch him suffer and it was peaceful. yes their were things i would have loved to tell him like how much i loved and respected the fact he raise me like his own and how i was greatful to have him in my life and how noone would ever replace him (not even my real father) but you know he knows all of that now and he is a part of his grandchildrens lifes hes their gardian angel.....

Daddy I Miss You!!!!

2008-04-05T00:05:00.003-04:00

well on April 5Th 1997 my whole life changed forever the man who raised me from the time I was 3 until the day he died,was gone and he would not be coming back. he was not a perfect man but he did the best he could and made sure that i did not want for anything him and my mother were married divorced and remarried during the time that they were divorced he paid child support and made sure that i was taken care of. I remember spending spring break with him and not my real father. he was raised in North Carolina and came to Oklahoma in the early 80's only to go visit once I never met his family until after he had passed. when he passed away we did not have medical insurance, life insurance and he was are main source of income so this left my mother having to take loans to have a funeral so after 11 years we finally got a head stone for his grave. I'm so grateful that we were able to do this i fill the need to explain the photos I'm about to post he was from a different times than today and he was raised in the south so rebel flags where not uncommon so we always fly a rebel flags at his grave it is not a racist thing i promise! these are the words to a Alan Jackson song that really makes me think of my dad every time i hear it i wish i could tell you that death gets easier but i don't think it does their is not a day that goes by that i do not think of him and miss him dearly i just simply cope....

Born the middle son of a farmer And a small town Southern man Like his daddy's daddy before him Brought up workin' on the land Fell in love with a small town woman And they married up and settled down Natural way of life if you're lucky For a small town Southern man First there came four pretty daughters For this small town Southern man

Then a few years later came another A boy, he wasn't planned Seven people livin' all together In a house built with his own hands Little words with love and understandin' From a small town Southern man Chorus:

And he bowed his head to Jesus And he stood for Uncle Sam And he only loved one woman(He) was always proud of what he had He said his greatest contribution Is the ones you leave behind Raised on the ways and gentle kindness Of a small town Southern man(Raised on the ways and gentle kindness)(Of a small town Southern man)

Callous hands told the story For this small town Southern man He gave it all to keep it all together And keep his family on his land Like his daddy, years wore out his body Made it hard just to walk and stand You can break the back But you can't break the spirit Of a small town Southern man
(Repeat Chorus)

Finally death came callin' For this small town Southern man He said it's alright 'cause I see angels And they got me by the hand Don't you cry, and don't you worry I'm blessed, and I know I am' Cause God has a place in Heaven For a small town Southern man

(Repeat Chorus)

their is another one called Dixie lullaby ill post it someother time i think i have to do a new post for the photos its not letting me upload them okay i got them i painted the flags on the front my self and the poem thing on the back i used to always by him on hats and bummber stickers since he was my step-father! sorry for the long post
