well a couple of days ago i went with both my sisters and my sister tonis three children to washington. we wanted to go to some resale shops and none of them were open in town. we went to this shop called that shop around the corner first. there helen (toni's oldest daughter who is a junior in highschool) found a bunch of nice prom dress's. she got money for her christmas but she doesnt have enough to buy a new one and her mom could never afford a new one so she saw all these there and started trying them on. she got over over 10 differnt dress's and took them to the dressing room. i stood outside with the cart because it had more in it and she could only take so many in at a time. there were a few that did not fit her, then a couple that once on you saw strings so those were a no, then there were some that were really dirty at the bottom. eventually she found two dress's that looked beautiful on her. one is a green floor length dress that is strappless that has a curved bit of extra cloth that goes to her hip.yes it is a little plain but its nice. she bought it and it only cost 12 dollars. my sister knows a women who tailors cloths. she is gonna take the dress up to her and have a little bit done to it. she is gonna have something put on the hip thatll poof out and make the dress have some sparkly stuff on it and make the skirt part poof out more. my sister thinks that wont even cost 50 dollars becuase she knows a woman who bought a plain white dress and had this lady turn it into a fancy wedding dress and it only cost 200. seeing since this wont be a whole lot done to this it wont cost to much and toni said shed pay that amount. im sure itll look wonderful when it is done. the second dress is a spaghetti strap black dress with gray shiny things on the top around the bust. it is floor length as well and it cost 9 dollars so she also bought it for a backup plan or for a homecoming dance. it looks really nice as well. i enjoyed being there and seeing her in all the different dress's and helping her choose. my nephew jacobus bought a tank to put a frog in and abi bought a book. my sister honor bought a few clothes that looked good and fit her then toni bought some clothes for herself to. i did not buy anything. after we were done we went to goodwill. toni took jacobus and abi while helen honor and i were at goodwill to petco. jacobus was going to get himself a frog for the tank. anyway honor found a bunch of work books for her daughter scarlet and she found some clothes and a microwave that she bought.helen found a little heart shaped candle holder, a candle that looked like a white rose and a cute stuffed dog. she bought all those for her mom for valentines day. i think they are cute and she only spent 3 dollars and some odd cents. toni when she did get there did not buy anything and i did not buy anything ether. after that we headed home. it was a nice day out. yesterday jacobus and abi were here for a long time. they played a game and they watched dolphin tale with us and we played some video poker on a computer game i have. obviously you dont have to pay any money to play the game if you loose. they actualy enjoyed it and got to figure out a little how you play poker. then we would of played just dance on the wii and the wii broke. so that didnt work but we were able to get the disk out. so yesterday was a very good day though uneventful. the kids have started school back up again so that causes a little anxiety because im worried about the bus driver stuff. anyway iv been doing pretty good thankfuly.

happy birthday to you happy birthday to you happy birthday dear scarlet happy birthday to you.

thats right my littlest neice turned 3 today. sheesh i cant believe she is so big and her little brother just turned one two days ago. they grow to fast i tell you. anyway we had there little party here today. being it is sunday normally the family comes over anyhow. we had grandpa lex over as well when we did the little party. the cake was so cute and we got scarlet to blow her candle out but we had to blow nickys out becuase he couldnt do that at his age. my dad let scarlet lick the iceing off the bottom of the candle but she ended up biteing a chunk off the candle. it was so funny but dont worry dad took the chunk of candle out of her mouth before she could eat it. thats what you get for giveing a 3 year a candle with iceing on it. there obviously gonna think candy eat it. anyway they all had cake and liked it then we did presents. scarlet and nicky needed help opening them but they liked it. nicky got a little over whelmed. he didnt understand the excitement and when he reached in the gift bag i gave him with his stuff from me the first two things he grabbed he didnt want to put down. we still had more for him because mom had stuff for him and honor brought stuff over for them to unwrap here that she had got them. honor is there mother. then my sister toni also had gotten them stuff to unwrap but for nicky being 1 it was quite overwhelming. anyway scarlet loved opening up the stuff but she needed help. the one thing she loved the most was all the dress up clothes mom gave her in a box. she even had some dress up shoes and she had to put them on quick. she put on a costume and became a puppy dog with high heeled dress up shoes and a dress up boa on. so yeah she was a fancy puppy. nicky got this ride on or walk with train that made music and did a few other activity things on the side of it. he had to walk all over with it. he totally loved it but he kept wineing off and on. he was tired and a little over whelmed. still was a nice day and it was cute to see how excited they got out of those toys. hope you all have a merry christmas

well my sister went up to the school and talked to the principal. unfortunately she had to talk to her on the phone. some reason the principal was not at the school and she had to talk to her on the phone. the principal says something will be done about it but toni does not think it will without her pressing the issue. she also found out by the principal that kids have actually reported to the prinicpal about the bus driver doing what shes been doing. that the principal let the bus driver manger know and somehow it go to the bus driver and those kids who told got in trouble and had to sit up front and got a bus ticket which means wrote up by the bus driver. these are not my sisters kids who this happened to but other children haveing issues with the bus driver. this is fucking ridiculous this bus driver needs her ass fired for what shes doing. she is bullying the kids and thats not right. if she isnt straightened up she will not just be getting in the kids faces she will be hitting them to. im sorry im about read to go to the bus stop with my sisters kids in the morning and when it pulls up get in front of all the kids and inform the woman who i am. then tell her if she messes with my nieces and nephew anymore she will be finding herself in the hospital and be paying some big time hospital bills. of corse if i did that id be arrested but still the woman shouldnt do that shit to any kid. i would love to knock her ass out. some people really deserve to get there ass's kicked.

my sister is going to have to have a yelling fit with the school her kids go to. you see earlyer this week a bus driver on the bus her kids go to got up in her sons face yelling at him. he had brought a fishing pole on the bus becuase he had to show it and talk about it in some class hes in. the bus driver wanted him to lay it down on the floor in front of the seat. the problem is if he did that people who got in the seat would step on it and break it. he had it in his backpack took apart and didnt have any hooks or anything so he figuered it be no big deal to hold it. so he did and the bus driver literly stopped the bus and got up and got in his face and yelled at him for not doing as she had told him to. he smarted off and said if i do what you said itll get broke! do you wangt to pay 60 dollars for a new fishing pole? she literly was so close up to his face that there noses were a few millimeters from touching. she was yelling at him and cuseing at him and when another kid told her to stop which happened to be his little sister she yelled at her. she eventualy did stop and went back to driveing but yeah my nephew and both his sisters plus a few other students reported this incident to the vice principal and nothing was done. all my sisters kids told there mom and she is going tomorrow and gonna yell about it. another problem with this bus driver is she is picking on toni's kids. see her daughter rides the same bus and her daughter dose not like helen and has been telling lies. her daughter will get up in helen or abi's or jacobus's faces and curse them out and the bus driver does nothing. if one of them even says one curse word back she tells the bus driver and the buss driver yells and screams and has wrote up the kids before. toni has tried to get a hold of the manager of the bus people but he never calls her back. so now she is gonna go to the principal and bitch. the bus driver does not like jacobus anyhow jacobus is one of those kids who likes to agrivate by telling anoying jokes or mokeing people. he also is a hyper kid so yeah hes been in trouble because of that stuff by the bus driver with just cause. he also has been with teachers in his school. so it just seems the bus driver already had an ax to grind with jacobus and it got worse because her daughter doesn't like helen. so yeah thats a big problem. then this week jacobus's teacher in computer class messed up the mouse and wrote him up for destruction of property. what it was is jacobus wanted to switch mouses and unplugged his and got another. the teacher took the one he had and made him be a the computer he took the other mouse from. she pounded the little plug end of the mouse into the computer because it was not fitting the best. it bent the prongs on the inside of the mouse plug and so it can not be used. she blamed him and wrote him up. there are 5 or 6 other kids who witnessed it happen and they told jacobus that when his mom came in to have them called in theyd vouch for him. the way jacobus describes the way the teacher do it was she tried to plug it in like normal and could so you started hitting it with her fist to make it go in. so yeah that teacher destructed school property and wants to blame him. my dad told toni that when she goes to the principal if he tries to put it off and be like we will call the kids in later to be like no. tell him i know you wont do it later your doing it now. i will go wait outside your office but i want to see the kids go into your office. she also is gonna have him get the manger to the bus's in there or get that damn bus driver bitch in there and deal with her himself while shes there. shes not playing around anymore. she has played around with this shit to much and is damn tired of it. she said if the destruction of school property and the bus stuff is gonna still go on and the principal refuses to do anything she said shes gonna tell them to expect a lawsuit and not just on the school itself but on them themselves. so i really hope this gets some stuff straightened up real quick.

my sister honor lives in the same complex as my sister toni but now she her husband and three kids have to stay in a hotel. they were getting there floor replaced and the maintenance man found a lot of mold growing under the fridge and the oven and the dishwasher. they think its been there since honor was pregnant with nicky and there house got flooded cuse of the tolit. nicky is almost one years old. so yeah thats been a long time. they are putting them up in a hotel my sister is going to call her kids doctor and have both the kids tested for any mold related problems as soon as possible. if there is anything wrong she is sueing that apartment complex for everything she can get. this is so horrible. my dad and my brother in law had to fight with the manager to get her to get my bro in law, my sister and there two kids a hotel. the place wanted them to stay there until they finished cleaning it up. when the threat of contact the public health unit for us. boy that got her on the ball.

my sister toni called asking us if we had ben in her house. she said there were things in her two daughters room moved and stuff in her sons and her room moved to. we said no. she asked the manager if they had seen anyone walking around the apartments cuse she was gonna call the cops cuse someone had been in her apartment. the manager says oh that was inspection people for the apartments they were fixing stuff broke while they were in there. the manager hadnt even been in there with them nor had known till they came and gave her a work order for different things in tonis apartment the maintenance man had to do. they had given no notice to toni to tell her they were gonna go there. they also searched her apartment to see if there were any code violations and put on the work order they gave the manager that toni had to clean her bathtub, take plastic off all her windows in all the rooms, that all the rooms were to cluttered and needed to be cleaned. so there is illegal search because they had no search warrent. cops cant do that without a search warrent so why should the inspectors be able to? helen and abis closet was actually rummaged through? aprently the closet needed fixing but um why rummage through the stuff? toni thinks a necklace was stolen. she swears she had it on a dresser in her room. its not there now. they obviously went in her room cuse they said all rooms are cluttered and all rooms windows have the plastic on them. so then if it had been on tonis dresser and now its gone then that means it was stolen by them. my sister just seems scared to go to the cops cuse she thinks the apartment people will kick her out. uh if they do shell just have to go to a lawyer and show evidence of a police report against the apartment building and what it was about and then her being evicted not long later and the proof of her rent being paid. see how quick shell have a lawsuit on there ass's and get bunches of money. i mean like hundreds of thousands of dollars. so i really hope she goes to the cops. this was totaly wrong of the aprtment building people to do. i mean what if say jacobus whose 15 was sick and was home alone for a few hours. say he stabbed one and killed one with this pocket knife he has. i mean um the inspectors be asking for it by not informing anyone of them coming and just walking in. it be him protecting his home and property against intruders. do you serisously think if a prosicuter put him on trail for murder any jury convict him? i dont think so a jury be like uh they had no notice no warning he had the right to protect his home and himself from an intruder by stabbing one or even shooting them if he had a gun. seriously if the people keep doing this that is what is going to happen i garentee you someone will shoot or stab an inspector when they come in without notice. my sister honorand her husband sleep during the day cuse they work nights.they live in the same aprtment buildings and have two small children. jj is a 6 foot 4 inch tall football player built man. they tend to keep a bat or a hammer or something heavy near the bed when sleeping. seriously he could easly if they came in kill one of them by hitting um with that. so yeah i serisously hope my sister files charges

i had a good day today. my sister tonis three kids were here for a long time. helen, jacobus and abi are there names. jacobus, abi and i all played on the wii just dance for a bit. we took turns becuase we only have 2 remotes. i enjoyed that. then later all three of them and i decorated the christmas tree. helen did the gralin and she helped with the ornaments and bows. it looks really good even though we put the garlin on after we had done the ornaments. then jacobusand i wrapped helens christmas presents together in my room. after we had wraped hers helen came in and helped us wrap abis, dads, grandpas, scarlet, and nickys. nickys was very complicated and im glad helen and jacobus did the harder ones to wrap because id of lost it trying to. see for nicky i got this little bat and ball toy. the bat is attached to this teeball thing on a base. the ball is attached to. you hit the ball with the tiny bat and it spins around and it makes noise. it is made for little kids nickys age. it is very awkwardly shaped and it took helen half an hour to do it. jacbous wrapped the little baby guitar for him. its this guitar that you push a button to turn it on then you put your little hand in a hole and it plays music. its very cute but also a awkward shape. i wrapped his little pull with him phone that makes noise. it is very cute. it took us a long while to get it all wrapped but we got it done. ill admit the wrapping is not the best but it is better than it could of been. we then ate pizza and we used napkins to blot alot of the grease off what we ate. you would be surprised about how much grease was on each piece. its actually kinda gross. then jacobus and abi went and played wii again and helen and i talked. she finaly watched interview with the vampire the movie and she said it was pretty good. i was telling her about the books and she said shell definitely have to borrow them sometime. we talked about how i was the weird kid who read interview with the vampire the book at age 6 and teachers would quizz me on stuff like that on book reading days because they thought i couldn't really read it. i showed her some pictures iv found online that i like that people made from the movie. anyway today was really pretty good. i hope all of you have had nice days to

2011-11-18T13:42:00.000-08:00

well its almost thanksgiveing and there have been a few things going on so got to talk about them. in st louis a couple days ago a little boy who was 1 years old was reported missing by his mother. the police suspected she had done something but then there was a report of a suspicious white male carrying a baby in a blue blanket and he seemed nervous. this was about half a mile from the woman's house. obviously the cops thought then that this was really a kidnapping and put out a all point buliten for the kid and the description of the guy. anyway later that night they found the womans baby boy in a park badly beaten to death. they asked the family questions and the mother admitted to doing it. they gave up searching for the white male becuase she admited to it and there were no other babies reported missing in the area. so it easly could of been the dad of the kid and the kid was just crying and it made him nervous. that kind of stuff happens. anyway i felt sad for a while thinking how that baby was killed and how he was innocent and couldnt do anything to deserve that. made me mad at his mother. anyway in better news i got a phillips wake up light free from shespeaks.com in a product test. iv looked up how much they cost at stores and that is $99. i got it completly free as a product test and do not have to return it. unfortunately it was very difficult to set up. we can not figure out how to do the radio and we did exactly as the instructions said and it didnt work. the wording in the directions was complicated on every part of it. we got it all set up and everything else worked but it was difficult. it actualy from all the directions seems a little unsafe. it gets really hot so you cant touch it when the light is on and you cant have it near anything flamable. so kinda makes me think that once its released on the market it wont be out long before a recall for something happening with it. other stuff i will be getting soon is 1 survey for body lotion from mindfield.com, 1 survey on dogfood from my survey.com 1 survey on dog food from mindfield.com and 1 product test on dog food from bzzagent.com. yeah we are deffintly going to get a lot of dog food. the bzzagent and the my survey should be here just after thanksgiveing. merry christmas to my dog shes gonna have lots of dog food is all i can say. she is the type of dog whod eat till she puked and eat some more if you gave it to her. we wont be doing that but im sure shell be happy with the new different flavored food. of coarse after so long well probably give some to our neighbor he has 3 dogs. im sure he can use some free dog food. our thanksgiveing here should be nice my sisters there kids and my grandpa are going to be here with mom dad and me. both my sisters will do the cooking besides for the turkey that dad and me will do. we have no had grandpa lex here for a holiday since i was a little kid. he will be 80 in February and he has Alzheimer. i dont think we will have him much longer so i am glad we will have thanksgiveing holiday with him. also in december my youngest niece turns 3 and my youngest nephew turns 1. he is the others baby brother and if he was born 2 days later they would be exactly 2 years apart. there mother my sister also has her birthday on december first.

for those of you with etsy accounts do not buy from the seller howardshome. this seller is unreasonable and unfair. i contacted them when i had ordered something to be sure it was flavored as they said and did not have fragrence oil instead of flavor. they said it was flavored and all was ok. then they cancled my order and gave paypal the reasoning of i had not paid them. it had not yet been 3-5 days so the payment had yet gone through. i contacted the seller are told them this. they gave me the feedback of not makeing sense haveing a bad track record not being happy with my payment not going through quickly and that i would unfairly feedback them and saying i didnt pay. i have a good track record. i have only been negatively feedbacked by 1 other seller besides her over the 60 or more times i have bought from people. i have given neautrals and negatives to a few people and they still gave me positives as if saying i was right to give it to them. i contacted this seller about her feedback and said they were being unfair and if they were to look at my history they would see i do not have a bad buying history. i told them i had contacted them and told them it takes 3-5 days for paypal to go through when paypal gave me an email with them cancleing my order with the reasoning i did not pay. they contacted and said they were going to contact etsy and report abuse on me. this is seriously wrong. The seller HOWARDSHOME IS AN UNREASONABLE UNFAIR SELLER ON ETSY. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM

2011-10-16T16:46:00.000-07:00

so we went to the world bird sanctuary becuase they were doing this special open house thing. my sister toni and two of her three kids came with dad mom and me there. we all rode in one car since we could all fit in it. the place was showing some rabbits and other things and letting you touch and the kids staid and listened and petted them. they also had all sorts of venders in a certain area selling stuff thats proceeds all went to the sanctuary. there was this bird hospital thing that they never have open to the public. they had it open for everyone to walk all around. they had people telling you what each instrument is used for. then they also had a room that had some of the birds in cages and a guy was telling about how you tell if its a hawk or vulture when its flying. vultures when flying there wings are fixed a certain way that it looks sorta like a v while a hawks are straight out. he said if you see hawks flying around there ether hunting marking territory or courting a mate. we told him about the one we see almost everyday flying around and how we have bunnies and squirles all over our back yard. he said does it circle around your yard and the neibors yards who have those. we said yes and he said its probably hunting most the times. we said we have a small dog and she goes out side we try to watch her outside but if were busy we leave her a bit. he said you probably shouldnt do that becuase it could easly swoop down and get her. certain breeds of hawks can pick up a 30 to 35 pound animal or even a child. so now were gonna be more careful with queenie. they also had this area down a trail that is normaly off limits to the public. it had were they did training for the birds to be re released or for stunts and stuff in shows and breeding areas for them to. well the walk down the trail took forever and then we had to walk on the side of a road type thing to. it was at least a mile and dad had to sit down on a bench on the trail for a long time. also on the trail there was an area over grown with weeds that we had to walk in. i hated that and hope i dont get a rash. anyway we got there and found out a bus drives people there and back that it picked people up at the entrance to the bird sanctuary. needless to say we rode it back to the entrance. anyway they had tour guides telling us about some of the birds and areas. one area they showed an eagle who had deformed feet from birth. he had actualy been hatched there and they would of let him out in the wild but he had deformed feet so he would never be able to hunt. see he doesnt have the scalyness to his feet like eagles normaly do. the tour guide said since they loose heat and gain heat a bunch from the feet if he hunted and grabbed a fish out of cold water hed freeze to death. so he can not be released. then they showed the bird they called old man. he was some kind of hawk. he has been bred to many different females over the years and has father quite a few hawks. they have a few of his offspring there but most were ether given to zoos or set free in the wild. old man unfortunately can not be released becuase of one of his feet being paralyzed. they think he got hit by a car or something but he can fly and he has always been very protective of his young. whenever he and a female had babies or eggs in the enclosure he was in he would not even let the handlers get to close to the enclosure without trying to attack them. he had actually sat on and hatched a cared for some offspring over the years becuase the mothers wouldn't.when they took us to one area that had all sorts of differnt enclosures you couldn't really see in they took us next to some big freezer type thing. they said this is wear they keep the meat they feed the birds. most of it comes from road kill that the people who take care of the roads donate it to them. well in the area they were telling us about the birds in the enclosures and in a few you looked in the windows and actualy saw the pair but none were mateing at that moment. one enclosure had a bag over the window so you couldnt se in. they said the eagle in there was getting ready for realease and they didnt want it seeing a lot of people. they said if it sees alot of people it could think people are safe and will feed it and will never be able to hunt on its own. they then took us into the nursery which at that time had no chicks. they showed what they would have to do to take care of chicks whose parents wouldn't take care of them or something. they had puppets they stuck on there hands shaped as different kinds of birds and big blankets. they covered themselves in a blanket and used the puppet to feed and take care of the babies. the birds take a long time to recognize a human shape under the blanket. this way they dont have to worry so much about them thinking humans will feed them and not be able to take care of themselves if they set them free. we saw in other enclosure a eagle whoed been shot by a pucher. half his wing been blown off needless to say hed never be released into the wild. the hunter was fined and got jail time for it. then there was a pair of eagles in a enclosure they werent being bred. the guy said these two were found around the same time injured both of them can not be released in the wild. when they were being treated they got a bond together and they like being together a lot. they said just to make them happy and keep them comfortable they keep them with each other. he said they have had a few nests over the years with babies but so far none this year. we saw a stork and some other type of birds there to. it was very nice. after riding bus back to the entry then we hoofed it to our car. the place was very crowded today. still was a very nice day

our cat violet is 16 years old. we know she has cancer becuase she has lumps in her tummy and there getting bigger and she has more than she used to. she is slowly shutting down now. she is not eating barely moveing and she pants alot. my mom called the vets and asked if they could give violet anything to make her more comfortable for the last days of her life. we dont really want to put her down we want her to go naturally and she is going through the signs of going naturally just she seems in a bit of pain. we dont want that of corse we want her to go in comfort. we want her to be able to go here in the house where she was born and has barely ever left. itll be sad when shes gone ill admit that. i love the old girl a lot. ill miss her but she has to go sometime. i know shell go to heaven and be happy with her momma kiki and other pets we've had and my grandparents. they will all embrace her with open arms and take good care of her. im just gonna miss the old girl when she goes after all shes family and iv had her since just before i was 10. i just want her to be comfortable while she is going through the process of moving on. so mom will take her to the vet in the morning and see if they can give her any meds for that. i hope so becuase we want her to go naturally.

differnt ones just in case mom and i wanted to leave earlier than everyone else and because my sister honor wanted to go to a bunch of different stores in town as well as the craft fair. anyway it was a wonderful day for the craft fair. it was nice and sunny and pretty warm. normaly it is quite cool when they do the craft fair every year and usualy a little drizzles of rain here and there. today though was perfect weather for it. we walked all up and down the streets that held the boothes and stopped at nearly every one. the first thing i bought was a bar of scented soap for dad. it is woodsy scent and it is supposed to be really gentle on the skin and make it smoother. it was a homemade thing as well and i had to get it for dad for his christmas. after buying that we all walked down farther and then a casualy looked at the booth of homemade pens and letter openers and i saw right off the bat this wonderful pen i had to have. i talked to the people and they told me its refillable and showed me how to open it and told me what ink pen refils it takes. it cost me 26 dollars because of the 2 dollar tax added. i assume they have a buisness somewhere in the state that they sell those in and so they have to charge tax. the pen was the most expensive thing i bought but i couldn't help it i love it.it is orange but has some white in it and the stuff holding it all together is gold colored and swirled. since i can refill it i can keep the pen forever. we walked on and there was this booth with smelling crystal potpourri. you could smell the stuff all up and down the hole area they had the craft fair. it smelled so good and they had so many different scents.my bro in law and sister honor gave my sister toni some last year for christmas. surprisingly those crystals keep smelling for many many months. my sister toni had them for around 6 months and they still smelled. everytime we went in to her house you could smell them. anyway my nephew jacobus is really into scented stuff and has a sufisticated nose on smells. i swear he should go into the buisness of making scented body products such as perfume, soap, body spray,body wash,lotion. deoderant, shampoo. i honestly think he would be one of those people that the manufacturers of such things would love. i can see him being able to mix and match and make great scents for them becuase his nose would be able to tell how good or bad it smelled. anyway he started smelling them and he asked his mom to buy more for the house but she didnt do it. she really didnt buy anything but she and the kids had fun going. anyway after there we went to where they had the farmers market and i walked around and i saw a bought a jar of pumpkin butter. i get that every year from the craft fair. it is to die for and you never know what seller will have it. usually a few sellers have it. i honestly love pumpkin butter. its much like apple butter just made from pumpkins. its easyer to find this time of year because more stores sell baking pumpkins and pumpkin pie filling than other times of year. after that we walked on more. my mother decided to buy a bunch of cookies and we all had some. they were good. we walked on down another road and saw some very nice homemade beaded jwelery. mom bought a bracelet for scarlet and toni bought one for abi. we finaly went to a store called me and mommy again and had the kids play in there little area for kids to play while we shoped around. nicky had a poop explosion in his diaper and threw up a little on his daddy. he has a sensitive tummy and i think the cookie might of upset it plus my nephew jacobus when he was pushing the stroller was weeveing it around and stuff. so that could of upset nickys tummy to. i went upstairs to where the kids toys are becuase i needed to shop for nickys christmas. with the help of my eldest neice and mom i found some cute toys for him. one is one of those pull around toy phones thats eyes move when you pull him and you can twirl its dial and it dings. i thought it was so cute. then i found this little toy guitar that the kid puts his hand in an area and it plays music till he removes his hand. honor already has one like it but its very girly since she got it for scarlet. this one was blue and red so it was perfect for a boy. unfortunatly it does not have an on off switch. helen saw this little ball and bat thing for toddlers. its got a tiny bat and the ball is like on a tee ball base which is on a base you would see if running bases and they would put there foot on and be safe. anyway the way the ball is that you hit it with the bat it twirls around and talks to the kid and makes music. it is so cute. it has an on off switch thankfully. for all these toys i paid less than 10 dollars which is really good. once we all left there we went to a restaurant called culens. no it was not named that becuase of the twighlight stuff it has been there a long time. it has probably been there since before i was born. they have such good food. one of my favorite things of theres is there deep friend dill pickles. we all enjoyed our meals but scarlet wanted to get up and move around a lot and so did nicky. what can you expect hes 9 months she 2 and 9 months. i mean they are still pretty little. after that my mom and i left we went to walmart along the way and exchanges something she bought at a walmart in town and got something else. once home a while i learned how to open up the pen and i saw what kind of pen refill it needs. its not the slandered ball point refill. i searched for the type it needs online and found them on amazon. after a while toni came over she had just goten back from washington. she had bought some creme pies for dad from a deli/ bakery. he ate one and loved it. he will eat the other one tomorrow sometime. tommrrow moand i and the family are going to go to some wolf event somewhere. we will learn about wolves and there will be activities for children. it will cost 20 a car but im not really sure what all goes on with this. all i know is it funds research and support for wild wolves. should be nice tomorrow though and today as described was a wonderful day

today was a very good day for me. my neice abi was over and dad and i did some things with her. we made brownies up with her than most the day we played wii. we played 9 holes gold and 4 or 5 things of bowling. i wont two of the bowling games and abi won golf. made us move around a bit makeing the wii person of ours do what they where supposed to so it did give me exercise. i also counted change of my grandfathers and boy is that container heavy and hard to lift. that was a bit of exercise lifting it. we would of taken a walk if it wasnt raining out today. it is also very cold out today. fall weather has hit our area. in a few days is my doctors apointment but i am doing so well it wont matter. im just hopeing my blood pressure will be ok and they wont complain about it again. i seriosuly can not wait for saterday the 24th and sunday the 25th becuase we are gonna be busy. on saterday is the craft fair in washington that we go to every year and on sunday is this wildlife thing about wolves that should be neat. i know ill be anxious at those places but its fine itll be fun. i want to go into this resale store when at the craft fair. it is always open when the craft fair goes on even though saterday and sunday are not its normal days open. i want to go in becuase it is made for little kids and maturnity stuff. im hopeing ill find a few things for my littlest nephew nickys christmas while there. once i find him some stuff im mainly done just need a gift card for mom and dad and something for grandpa.the problem is though i dont know if hell even know its christmas then. his mind is going so quickly i hate it. when a family member has alzimers it is very hard to deal with. you see there body there but there not. it hurts you because there forgetting everything about there lives and are turning into a shell with life in it but nobody there. i swear life is hard sometimes. anyway my day was still good and i am happy about that

i am pumpkin crazy lately. being that it is fall and halloween is comeing up iv gone a little crazy about pumpkin scented and flavored stuff. i recently bought a pumpkin scented candle, some pumpkin scented oil, pumpkin flavored lip balm and i made some pumpkin spice perfume. i already have soap and lotion in pumpkin scent and iv been useing that. so yes you can see im a pumpkin nut. i found this recipe for makeing perfume recently and so i used it to make pumpkin spice scent and it worked out real well. you use 80 or higher prook vodka. you need 1/4 cup of it. then you add as little or much scent as you want. you blend it up with a fork put a lid on it and let it sit out of sunlight for a day. then you blend it again and bottle it. every time before use you have to shake well to make sure the oil is blended well with the alcohol. im not sure why it seperates but its normal. easyest way to tell if you have enough scent is to put a little on you of the mixture and walk away from the bowl and smell it on yourself. this is because the mixture all together is to strong to tell for sure. so iv got some pumpkin spice scented perfume which i love and im already mixing up some gardenia for my mom. a half pint of vodka last a long way with this. i have also been getting more exercise the past few days besides for today. iv mostly been walking but since today it was rainy and gloomy and cold i could not do that. im going to have to get my shake weight out soon and start useing it more i guess. mainly iv been keeping busy and i am glad for that. on the 24th i am going to go to the washington craft fair and then sunday the 25th there is this thing educating about wolves that we are going to go to. we have to pay to get into the area and that money goes to the protection and rescue of wolves. this thing is supposed to have face painting and other things. it should be nice to see. so busy weekend comeing up there. i found some cute halloween crafts for kids to do. i printed them up for my sister to do with her kids and maybe my other sisters kids. there not hard to do crafts or anything so they should be nice to do. im almost done christmas shopping all i have to get is a few things for my youngest nephew which i plan on getting at the craft fair. then i need to get something for my grandpa but ill wait till just before then. well i must go now

i saw my grandfather today at the assisted living home. he was doing good but didnt have much to say as usual. when we were there we saw the new kitten the home has. they got the kitten becuase one of the people who works there drove from there home to work and it was in her engine. somehow it didnt get all cut up and it survived the drive. they heard it mewing in there and got it out. they got it seen by a vet and he is doing fine. he is so tiny im surprised he is able to eat normal kitten food. they have him at the home in a room and let the older people see and pet him and hold him sometimes. they are not sure if there gonna keep him or not. if they do he will have to be declawed and netured once hes a little older and bigger. i held him for a while and he snuggled up to me and then he wanted to play with my hair. i wouldnt let him though. i held him for a bit and petted him and he purred but then he ended up peeing in my hand.had to put him back in the room he belong in and go wash my hands. it doesn't bother me he did that because i remember when our cat and dog where really little and how they did that to. anyway i hope that they keep him but if not im sure they'll find him a good home. also today i saw my caseworker while mom was here. becuase they way mom talked it incouraged the caseworker to try and push me going to places like psc which is group therapy thing at the doctors office i go to. thats not gonna happen though. it anoys me that mom encouraged it she knows i dont like being around people im not related to. its a big deal for me to even talk to a caseworker. i know i talk on chat and on here to people but this is different. on here i can stop talking and on chat i can ignore anyone i dont like and i dont have to give to much information to. they dont have to know where exactly i live and stuff. kinda anoys me with that.

my mom my eldist sister toni and i all went to washington to do some shopping. mom was looking for a bunch of cute haloween costumes to buy scarlet for christmas since she loves dressing up. she found quite a few for really good prices at goodwill. one of them was a cheerleader outfit, another was a 50's typewaitress at a diner outfit,another was a pink lepard colored dress with a cat tail,plus she got her a little boah and a bracelet. scarlet should be so cute when you wears those things. my mom also got some sleepers for nicky.at goodwill i ended up buying a new purse because the one i was carrying zipper broke off so i couldnt zip it. my sister toni went to khols cuse she had 40 dollar khols cash gift card. she bought two pairs of jeans for her daughter abi and didnt pay anything for them. she had 2 cents left on the coupon and let mom use it for one pajamas three peice set she bought nicky. we also went to shoe carnival. jacobus needed new shoes for school so toni was buying him some. since there was a buy one get one half off toni asked if anyone needed shoes. i knew dad did becuase hes been glueing the souls back on a pair of shoes he has. we found a pair of steel toed boots and it only be 22 dollars when the half off was taken so we bought it. later when we got home he didnt want them. said his steel toed boots are fine and if he got anything hed get tennis shoes. so toni is takeing those back since she starts school soon and will be going by there. also while we were out i got what all the stuff im gonna get nickey for his birthday. one was a 1 dollar off brand of the magnidoodle. he and scarlet have one thats about destroyed and they get in fights over it. fights like pulling hair and slapping fights and yeah scarlet is 2 and hes 8 months think about what they might be like when there older. so anyway i had gotten scarlet a magnidoodle off brand at walmart for her birthday so since i saw them at dollar tree i got one for him for his birthday. thought that will settle that for a little while and if he breaks the dollar tree one its not a big deal. i also got him a wash rag thing. see its in this little case thing that you put it in water and it grows. i thought honor could do that with him when hes in the tub. hewould love seeing that and then she can also use it on him. toni bought some huge pot from this store called that shop around the corner. its a resale store so the stuff is pretty cheap. toni bought it so she could make lots of one thing and then whatever is left over freeze it so she can cook it another time. she will be in school so its gona be hard for her to cook well balanced meals all the time. she is thinking of doing stuff like that so she and the kids dont have to eat a lot of tv dinners. anyway we had very good day besides the problem with dad and the shoes. i swear my dad is such a cheap ass

well today i noticed my hair is falling out. this has happened before when i was extremely stressed over things. i am pretty stressed out about stuff to do with my grandfather. he has Alzheimer and is in an assistant liveing home. anyway before he went in the home just before my cousin got garudianship of him he singed his house over to mom. mom wasnt even there when he did it. she had no clue about it till the deed came in the mail. so my parents are selling the house that was grandpas which grandpa doesnt even remember signing over to her. anyway there stressing over how the hell there gonna pay the taxs. the problem is they cant use any of the money from the sale of the house but on grandpa. so yeah the money to pay the taxs has to come out of there pockets. plus the goverment will consider the money they got from the home there money and if the gov still has food stamps while we still have that money we will never get them. the thing is becuase it wasnt to long before my cousin got guardianship of grandpa and then we put him in this home it wasnt 5 years. so when he goes into a nursing home if it hasnt been 5 years since the house was signed to us and sold then theyll want the money. if we have used any of it theyll want proof it was used on grandpa. so yeah we have to keep the money till its been 5 years or grandpa dies otherwise well be in deep shit with government stuff. yeah its a catch 22 i know. so thats been giveing the household a lot of stress lately. there are other stress factors going on right now to do with grandpa but i dont think its such a good idea to get into that just in case our issues end up going to court. you know i dont want to say anything wrong and cause problems if we end up doing that. anyway these things are causing some stress on me so now my hair wants to do the falling out thing. i hate it when it does that. so i decided id get back on my hair skin and nail vitamins since that helped the hair stop falling out and grow back last time. im sure itll help this time to but one thing i need to do is do my relaxation exercisies so i dont end up going totally nuts and end up in the hospital again. anyway on other news iv not had to shave my legs and under arms so much and not because of the loose hair thing it never affected that just the head. iv always been one of those girls that if i didnt shave my under arms every day they looked bad and if i didnt shave my legs once every two days you saw it but actually everyday after shaving later on id feel the hair growing back. anyway i think the reason is becuase iv been useing baby soap and lotion on my skin. you know how soft and smooth the skin of a baby is and how people use the baby wash and lotion on them. well iv come to the conclusion that the baby wash and lotion must be a big factor on keeping there skin soft and smooth becuase of this not needing to shave as much. see i started putting baby soap and baby lotion in separate bottles and adding scent to them of my likeing. it is much cheaper than buying scented soap and lotion all the time. i use 4 to 6 ounce bottles and baby soap and lotion come in much bigger bottles for around the same price as the scented adult stuff does that is in those size bottles. seeing since i can use the baby soap and lotion more than once to make more than one scent thatll last a while i decided to do it. scented oil always lasts a long time to because you only need very little in the bottles. anyway i definitely think thats what is makeing my skin smoother and me not need to shave so much. ladies with the same hairy leg and arm problem might want to try useing baby soap and lotion it might do the same for you as it is me.

not much really been going on here. i messed up my back for a few days.its still a little stiff but not bad. when id first messed it up i could barely move without sharp intense pains going through it. anyway today i saw my caseworker gena. we did this exercise where she showed me a picture of a pool. the pool had a slide a diveing board and the ladder with three steps. she was saying this represents the swimming pool of life. color it in and think about some things you dove into and why, somethings that you slid out of control into and why,and some things you took steps into and why. i talked about my ex boyfriend being something i dove into way to quick and how that didnt work out. i talked about how school for me was the thing that slid out of control till i dropped out.i talked about the steps it took me to deal with and be able to live a normal life after looseing differnt loved ones to death. then we did something where there was a picture of a hand. in side the hand i had to write things i could control and outside was things i could not control. one of my could nots was my grandfather having Alzheimer. anyway these were interesting ways to talk about things. honestly not my favorite thing but ill do them. gena is also a group councler at the doctors office i go to so i really dont think ill be having her to long. not that i dont like her just shes more into the exercise to counsel yourself thing.

my eldest niece is officially 16 today. it feels weird that she is as old as she is. before long she will be all grown up and liveing on her own with a family of her own. i know that will hopeful be at least 2 years before she starts with a family but still time flies by so quick shell be that age before long. iv been pretty busy the past few days.last saterday the home my grandpa lives in had a carnival type thing for an activity for the old folks and there families to enjoy. i went there with dad and my sisters and all there kids and my bro in law met us there as well. it was very nice i must say. the kids played the games they had going on there and won prizes. we all ate the food which was just the same as carnival or fair food. they had cottons candy,popcorn,hamburgers, hotdogs,barbeque beef,chips,lemonade and tea. my grandfather ate barbeque beef and sat outside mostly and talked and held nicky. the carnival had a clown and a fortune teller person of corse they werent really those things just people pretending to be for the older people and there families. grandpa sat and got a picture taken with the fortune teller and had his fortune told. he watched scarlet a little bit while she played the games but he didnt participate in the games. mom didnt come to it becuase she had to work that night but it was still fun. then on sunday we did a little party for helens birthday although her birthday is realy today. we did presents then had dinner as a family then had cake helen loved her presents. it was very nice. toni and the kids staid over late that night. one of helens presents was bones season 1 and she checked all the disks while she was here. she was very thrilled with haveing that and she loved the buffy the vampire slayer high school yearbook i got her. i got her that book cuse shes a huge buffy fan and i liked it and thought she would to. on monday everyone besides dad and my bro in law jj went to the zoo. it was hot as hell but they had plenty of cooling stations which was a plus. we saw the childrens zoo first which all the kids loved especially scarlet. jacobus's favorite thing was petting the animals. both my sister live in apartment buildings and they cant have pets. my sister honor has 1 cat cuse she was pregnant at the time she moved into her apartment and a doctor wrote a note saying it would help my sister mentaly to keep it and it would help the child to grow and learn to treat animals right if it was kept. so the apartments let honor have the cat. toni on the other hand has no pets and jacobus is a huge animal lover so to him the childrens zoo was great for that. after the childrens zoo we went to the sting rays and sharks where they can pet them. i and nicky went to a restaurant near by and we sat inside and cooled off while everyone did that. i fed nicky his cereal and bottle when we where there and he played with the cereal. after everyoe was done with the sting rays and sharks they went into the little resturant and we ordered food and ate. scarlet wanted to run around so we let her walk around inside the resturant while one of the adults walked with her. when we got our food she sat and ate though then after everyone ate we went to the rivers edge. most the animals in that area were inside and so we didnt see them. we did however get to see bush dogs a rino some hippos and one elephant. scarlet squealed and was so happy to see the elephant. see when we were in the car driveing to the zoo she kept saying we see elephants and after so long she fell asleep but when she woke up she was like we see elephants now? so we had to try and see some elephants for her and we were lucky to see one. it was raja he was the first elephant to be born at st louis zoo in many years. he is 18 now and the father to 3 or 4 baby elephants. we assume the females and babies were inside cuse they have there own area and they werent out there. so that was a good day as well. on tuesday mom and i saw grandpa and then when back home went through some stuff we brought from grandpas house to see what wed keep sell and through away. we still have a lot of stuff to go through. i naped some yesterday cuse i was plain tired from the zoo. today i havent done much of nothing besides go to three sisters and buy some stuff. three sisters is a resale store near by where i live. i bought a present for mom for christmas there and a bag with Egyptian stuff on it i also checked my account to see if i had sold anything. i had sold one thing and got one dollar and fifty cents. i know its not much but better than nothing. tomorrow my case worker will come for a while then on monday she comes again. monday is the last day she will be my caseworker. she is the third one iv gone through this year. it is upsetting that i havent kept a case worker long this year. also on monday when i see her we will make my next doctors appointment. i was very happy today though because i got to talk to my best friend hyde. i havent talked to him in a few months cuse hes been busy with a tour. i missed him so it was nice to talk to him.i love him alot hes just like family to me. anyway this is all iv been up to i hope you all have had some nice days to.

had an intresting night. my mom my sister honor her daughter scarlet and grandpa lex and i all went up to the park. we went to feed the ducks at the water. well when we went out there before we could get to the water the ducks and geese saw the bread and came running like a stampede. mom led them to the water cuse my sister nor me nor grandpa nor scarlet wanted to get to close to them. after mom gave them all the bread we sat in a pavilion on a bench.the ducks and geese came on the pavilion and got really close to us.i got nervous when a couple were so close i could touch them so i moved away.they didnt try to hurt us but they were just looking at us and makeing there noise and walking around. i think they were trying to see if we had any more bread. still was nerve wracking being surrounded by big geese and ducks and it wasnt all females it was the big males to.i know the males can get pretty mean when theres a group of females with them and the females get mean when there is a nest near by. that is the reason i was pretty nervous plus scarlet kept wanting to touch them but we wouldn't let her.grandpa kept encouraging her to but we kept talling her no and were getting upset with grandpa for encouraging her to pet the ducks. he just kept laughing at us. finaly the ducks and geese went away and we went and got ice cream at sonic. scarlet wanted to run around while we ordered and i was trying to make her come sit and she fell over and skined her knee a little but didnt make it bleed.honor finaly walked with her a while since we couldnt get her to sit down till after the ice cream came. once she had eaten she got all messy cuse her ice cream mostly melted. so honor was letting her drink it with a straw but she kept getting it on herself. i know this is common for two year olds to do all i said but still it was a little nerve wracking. fianly we brought grandpa home then my sister and scarlet to there home. scarlet fell asleep in the car while we drove them there. nicky didnt go with us to see the ducks and geese nor did jj honors husband. nicky was pretty tired and upset with teething so jj staid home and watched him.

i was reading some of my old posts since i put popular posts on here. just by reading it it reminds me how we though nicky was gonna be a girl. the doctor's 80 percent sure hes a girl was way wrong. i had wanted him to be a boy so i could finaly say i had neices and nephews but in the end his health and happiness was all that mattered. i find it cool thought that nicky ended up being a little boy.he is pretty healthy to but hes a big mamas boy.yes he has had some health issues and given us some scares but hes mainly healthy. he is already crawling and trying to stand up. we have a feeling he will be walking on his own before hes 1 just like his mama (my sister honor). he has already grown 1 tooth well its not fully cut out all the way but pretty much is.he likes to play with it with his tongue and fingers.he is so adorable. i cant belive time has flown so past that honor isnt still early pregnant with him and were thinking hes a girl. time flies so quickly sometimes one day is over when it seems it just started other days it goes by so slow. they say as you grown older you see time fly by quicker im only 26 and i see it fly by quick now. i cant imagine how fast in my eyes itll pass when im up in my 40's and older.
