An Interesting Game...

Unfortunately, my team lost yesterday :(. I have to say that there were A LOT of mistakes made!! I mean, it wasn't exactly a 'beating' persay, but it was pretty bad. We definitely could have done much better in both aspects of offense and defense! I'm hoping that today, the 49ers do a much better job!

Ohhhh has the fall season arrived! I LOVE this time of year because of the football!! The only sport I really watch. LOL. Without football, it just wouldn't be the same season. It will be especially fun when JD gets into it!! At least I hope he gets into it, he can do whatever he likes :). Ridiboo I just see being a cheerleader, with her LONG legs!! Of course, she is going to have to quit bruising herself first LMAO! That girl is attracted to bruises like huskers are to corn.........who knows what will happen, I still have quite a few years.....

Well, you know how my weekend is going with football games allllll weekend, how is yours??

Oh to Friday...

Will it ever cease? LOL! I guess not, that's why they call it life :). Well, today is another pretty iffy day. Woke up again with some spotting (TMI for some, I know).... but luckily it's nothing big. I just LOVE how they seem to think that everything is normal with all this pain and spotting, JUST because I am on my 3rd child! LMAO! But, we have our appt on Mon, soooooo maybe then we can figure out the truth!! Or at least get a lil bit of an answer!

Speaking of children, OH BOY did I upset my oldest today! He didn't tell me that it was 'free dress friday' at school today and neither did the teachers. SOOOO what happened? I sent him to school in his uniform. BIG MISTAKE! LOL.... he was so upset that he wanted to come home and change, but that would have made him late for school. The teachers tried to tell me that they didn't know until the last announcements, wellll I pick my child up last during the day. Sooo, they knew somehow because every other child knew! Maybe I should just send him every Friday in regular clothes......Hmmmmm.....

What do you think!?!?!

Just another day :)

Well, at least today is off to a much better start than yesterday!! My alarm didn't want to work and sooo it made us late, LOL. But, of course, us supermoms, WE CAN deal with anything! (Notice the caps? that's what I try to remind myself everyday!) Today on my list, is simply to finish the work I didn't get done yesterday due to my increased pain levels. So far, this morning seems to be a bit better, although I can't wait for my appt on Mon! At least then, maybe the doc can give us some more permanent solutions!!

I did learn something interesting this morning.....My hubs was watching the news and saw a new study that was out. You know what it said?? People who drink 3-4 cups of coffee in the morning, have less shoulder and chest pain!?! That is like, the exact opposite of what they have said for YEARS! I'm interested to try it though, considering shoulder and chest pain is my current issue, well one of them. I guess you never can really tell what's good or bad these days. I honestly think, if you just listen to your body, you will get better results than listening to almost anything else.....

Any thoughts???

The Darkside LOL

Well, it finally happened... I went to the Darkside and got an iPhone! Not sure what I think of it yet, other than it is very interesting and lasts longer than my android.... But the real trick is gonna be, can I keep my electricity issue from killing it?? So, I am on a mission to keep the phone on or near me as much as possible as a test! Ought to be interesting!

Good news is though, at least we both have phone that work now! My hubs isn't falling apart every minute and mine isn't missing phone calls... So far anyways...

Well, we shall find out in two weeks if my test works and if this iPhone is all its cut out to be... After all, androids are kind of going downhill at the moment with horrible reviews....hopefully that changes soon though!

UGH ER's!

Well, last night I ended up in the ER AGAIN! Well, we started out with Labor and Delivery then went to the ER. Of course, we ended up finding out some VERY interesting information.....I was having contractions! Woohoo! NOT, lol. It's toooooo early for that and that was not what I went in there for. So, once we got all that sorted out, they sent us to the ER. Where the waiting game began.....

The ER was even more disappointing. Whereas we waited forever like usual for a bed and blood tests and such to be done.......we got NO answers. LOL. They don't know what is causing anything and there isn't much they can give me being preggo. They did find a slight UTI, but seriously that isn't going to cause the issues I'm having......That's what we felt was soooo fun about this place, well about ER's in general. How they can not get any really answers and just try to BS you because they don't know the real answer......

Well, then to add to my stress....My hubs was supposed to be home or at least available to help out today, considering I'm still in pain and nothing really helps. BUT the lovely military decided they wanted to put him on a 24 hr duty! Grrrrrr, SERIOUSLY! Don't get me wrong, I support everything and usually don't mind my husband pulling gaurd duty. But it is just really annoying when they know there is a situation at home, and yet they still choose to put your husband instead of one of the other 20 soldiers on it.

Just another of those things that you have to be careful with.....well, one of those things that you are forced to get used to with the military.......the alllllll inconvenient timing... :)

SCHOOL!!

That's right, it's school time!! Well, for some it was school time a while ago. But, for us it just started today. :) I'm glad that finally my kids have something else to keep their minds busy, especially after the summer we have had.....School is a good distraction!

Only what is MOM supposed to do?? LMAO! I took my final for school yesterday, so I don't have to worry about that....hmmmm guess it's just house cleaning, grocery shopping, blogging and maybe finding something else to do in the mean time, hahaha.

OH, I know I will be making a baby blanket for my newest addition coming! I just haven't decided how I am going to be doing it. I have a design picked out, just haven't had time to start it yet. Now that I do, I will be able to see if it would be best to find a different design or colors or anything like that, lol.

If anyone has any GRAND ideas,  I would be open to any possibilities!!

Can't believe it's been 4 hours already!! My daughter will be home from her first day of Pre-K any moment!!! I'm excited to see how she does and what she thought of it! Of course, my dear son is in ALL DAY!! OH what to do with myself!!

I'M BACK!

Hahahah nice title huh?? Never really left, just got to busy to keep this little page running. :( But, I'm here now and am hoping to once again keep it going!

Well, what news have you missed out on?? OF course there's the fact that our family is enlarging....hehehe :). That's right in about another 3 months we will have a newborn on our hands! That will be fun and interesting in and of itself.

As far as what else to write about....I don't know yet LOL. But, I will come back later once I find a subject hehehe :)

GOOD DAY EVERYONE!!

Changes....

Wow!! Sooo many things have went down here at our house!! LOL!! But I think it is all for the good, we are finally getting back on track with everyone. Our lil ones still happen to get sick quite a bit, but just more random  fevers! Not a whole lot we can do about that....... I can say for sure though, that there are some definite changes taking place! And it will only be a few more months or less that everything will take place, including a fantabulous vacation where I will see many friends and family that I have missed sooo much!!! I'm getting excited!!!!

GUYS and FOOTBALL

You know, I've always been a football fanatic.......but until recently, I have never realized the adamant nature of a man and the game! They are soooooo much more energetic with a football game. All the jumping and yelling! I find it almost cartoonish, you know like reading the old Sunday cartoons? You can almost plan their reactions to the 'T'! I must say, that I love every bit of it though!

Seriously if you have never seen the avid nature of men and football, You should find one and watch it sometime! Even if your not into football, their reactions will be entertainment enough!!

Joy To The New Year......I think.....

Good title, huh? I tell you we brought in the New Year with a BANG! But, today has not been soo great, LOL. Not that I drank alot or anything, because that certainly wasn't the case. For some reason, I just woke up being frickin MISERABLE! Sinuses all messed up, headaches, body aches...ugh! I sure hope that this is not indicative of what this year is going to be! That would really really suck!

Of course, I do hope that the BANG is a reasonable assumption of what this year is to bring!! After all, there is soooo many important things to happen this year, that I couldn't take it if it all went wrong! So everyone, Lets keep our fingers crossed and hope that 2012 brings us MUCH more that 2011 (NO matter HOW good the year was!!!)

Oh the military :(

As a military wife and daughter, I completely understand the military and what they are about. But, that doesn't mean I have to like EVERY aspect of it. I mean when someone signs that contract, they are practically owned by the government and only 'on loan' to their families. The don't require notices to be given, they focus more on last minute notices more than anything. NOW, don't get me wrong, I believe in all they do and all they are preparing for.....I just wish they would have more consideration for the families of the soldiers. I mean it's not like they get paid that much anyways, not near as much as they should anyways.

So, your wondering what started this rant? LOL. Simply the actions of our beloved system. Last minute changes again, that I am already used to and will continue to be used to.....BUT I will always voice my opinions and agitations, because that's just who I am!

Kids AND Cleaning!

Man!!! You know what kids NEVER realize!?! That if they would just do what they were asked they could play ALOT sooner! My kids have been *attempting* to clean their room since yesterday, we're talking about going on 24 hours (minus sleeping of course). It's not even that hard, just pick up the clothes and put the toys in bins....BUT they would rather fight it than do it! OH do I remember those days! Looking back at my childhood, I feel kind of bad LOL!! Anyone else with kids??

The funny thing is that they will help mommy do things, but when it comes to doing it on their own.....It's definitely a 'no go'.......*sigh*

Cleaning time!!

Well, the only thing that I hate about the holidays, is all of the cleaning you have to do! It doesn't matter if you are leaving or if you are having company over, you still have to clean, clean, clean! If you are leaving, you want to come home to a clean house; if you are having company, then of course you want everything clean for them.

The latter is our case, we are having family over! I'm cooking my first holiday dinner, and while my hubby is out with the munchkins picking up some last minute items, I am stuck at home trying to get the energy to clean! Luckily, we just cleaned the house a few days ago when we switched things around!! LOL

Well, spose I better get on my way!!! Lots to do before the hubby gets home from being out in this blizzard!

Oh the holidays...

Wow does time go fast! I thought it was just yesterday that we were spending Christmas in Albuquerque! But this year I am left to cooking the wonderful dinner! OH is that going to be a surprise!! I mean after all, I have never cooked this big or this important of a meal myself!! I think it will be interesting though, and it will be delicious! *Crossed Fingers*

For some though, the holidays don't bring the joy it should. I know, because I used to be one of those people. It is still sometimes hard to get over the past during these times. You just have to remember, that the past can be replaced by the future! You can make more memories! I still have nightmares and feelings of dread and anxiety during this time of year, especially when it comes to family around. This is only because there is half of my family that I can not and possibly will never get to spend the holidays with again. I just keep reminding myself that, as much as it hurts, it's probably for the best. I've only begun to experience life without drama and hate, without mind games and mixed feelings. You may experience these same things, but all it takes is one good friend or family member to make it better. Surrounding yourself with those that truly love you, is the only thing you need during this time. Even if you just call them on the phone because they live far away, all that matters is that they are with you in your heart.

All good things will come to those who wait! 17 yrs, 22yrs and 24 yrs are how long it took things to work out here, my magical numbers! What are yours??

Busy, busy, busy

Well, with the holidays upcoming everything has been really busy! Not to mention my new job, so now I have 2 at-home jobs plus being a mom and a wife and going to school. Makes for a very very busy schedule. But, once you learn how to juggle it all, then it's not all that bad. Good news is, I am finally feeling better! YAY! They figured out I had some infection running rampid  through my body, which of course is never good. Only aggravating part is that it took 2 months, basically, to figure this out. Sometimes they even thought I didn't know what I was talking about. That was the most aggravating part, for sure!!

But now it's the holidays, only a few days until Christmas!!! I can't wait to see the excitement on my kids' faces, when they see all of the presents under the tree!!! It will be sooooooo sweet!!!

very confused

Everybody wishes were something more. Some wishes are more valuable than others. But what really constitutes value? Is its money and tangible items or it is it something deeper? I have always believed that the most important factors are things you can't wrap each finger around. Unfortunately, the rest of the world (some of the world) disagrees and thus today we live waiting for the ability to live higher. We wait for that chance to not worry anymore, no worry about money or want to get everyone on our lists. One day the world will realize its mistakes, HOW FUTILE it has been. I can only hope, for all of us, that this will happen sooner rather than later...

ACCOMPLISHED!

Well, the picture may be sidways--but this is what we did today! Among other things of course. We cleaned and rearranged our house! Then of course, got ready for Christmas EARLY!! LOVE the Christmas spirit and how homey it makes the house feel! More importantly, I was able to do it all. AND I finished one of my long awaited tests for my course!! THUS being Accomplished!! I may not be feeling the greatest now, but at least I was able to be a part of this with my family! My kids are excited, my house is warm, and my hubby is happy (he loves the spirit as well!)

Just goes to show, that even if you're not feeling the greatest, you can still get out there and do what you have to!

Getting ready.....

UGH, these last few weeks, make that month; has been crazy! Mainly because I have been SICK and had the promising doctors give me about 8 different diagnoses. Everything went down......Luckily, I have been able to slowly get back on my feet and start living (lol) again. Now, today we even rearranged and put up Christmas trees! And I'm hoping to get back on the ball with my schooling, I feel really bad that I haven't done much of ANYTHING on it! Truth is, we really need me to finish that! But, I spose I will get back to putting the Christmas cheer back into our house!

Everyone Caved

Getting everyone to agree to this move was a huge undertaking – it took me months and months of convincing everyone that it would be nice to live somewhere warmer. They all finally broke down though and so a few months ago we packed up everything and moved to Arizona. It’s nice because my husband and I can actually both work our old jobs here, me from home and him in their Arizona office. The kids love their new school and it seems like everything from enrolling them to finding a house to setting up ADT Security Arizona has been easy! We’re a great family and I love sticking together the way we do and I just wish there had been something telling me for years that things would get better. If I’d only known when I was 22 how great life would be at this point I would have guessed I probably would have slowed down and not worried so much about the future. There’s nothing like family to make you feel good about yourself!

NOT AGAIN.....

Ugh! So, I am back on bedrest, look like a drug addict with all the nice holes from IV's and still have no definitive answers! Seriously, this is putting a strain on absolutely EVERYTHING! It's not just stressful to me, who can't do much without not breathing or being in pain, but also on my hubby as his work is not ok with everything going on.......After all, I should be able to fix this on my own, LMAO! They do not realize how the world really works apparently....

Although, a nice change in things, mom-in-law came down to help us! She is such an angel! I do have some trouble giving up control, but she makes it a lil easier when she uses that mom voice on me! hehee!

I really, really hope that they actually figure something out soon!!!!
