Patience raising 4 teens!!

2012-01-31T16:43:00.001-06:00

Taking care or well now raising 4 teenagers is a job but it just requires patience and more patience! I have had so many adventures with the kids. I appreciate each of the adventures that I have had with each of my teens. I know that now that my second son/teen is in high school, its his Freshman year..yep I know that even more adventures are around the corner!! He's already been to dances and things like that and has his own "drama" with his friends and such but I know that next year will be the real challenge...that's the year that my only daughter will be a Freshman!! And my youngest will be starting middle school 7th grade!! Where does the time go?? And each of them will be getting there own net books just like my middle son Chris got this year.

So many challenges comes with being a mom of 4 teens but I wouldn't change a thing!! They are my life, my world, my heart and my soul and if it wasn't for them I wouldn't be the person that I am now..they are my world and they make my life complete. I love each of them with all of my heart. And I am very very proud for the children that I have raised to become the teens and young adults that they are today. I guess I must of done and been doing something right since they are each great kids.

Yes they each have there moments and days but who doesn't and especially being teens so many emotions and all that stuff going on in there lives and bodies and drama and all that...but they are great kids/teens and I love them more then anything.

In a very bloggy mood!!

2012-01-29T19:15:00.001-06:00

So yes I am in a very bloggy mood so I am going to get caught up on all of my blog dares and blog some more through out the evening until and after my parents come and when the bed gets here and put together I will take pics of it!!

I can't wait to buy the camera from one of my best friends..her's is flipping awesome! You just hold the button down and it does the continuous pics like I like..I did it last weekend when they were here and I absolutely love it!! It has a lot to go with it the lens and the battery and the bag and all that good stuff but I don't mind I love it still and want it badly! So hopefully in a couple of weeks (weekend after Super Bowl) she will come back down and I will give her the money for it..hopefully!!

Confessions - week of Jan 23rd

2012-01-29T19:12:00.001-06:00

So I saw this on one of the other blogs that I started following and thought that it sounded cool to do so I am going to try to do this every week too.

Confessions for the week...

Ok so last Sunday well I had a bad day full of nausea! Could not keep from going back and forth to the bathroom all day long! I had friends down that weekend and we had a blast..until Saturday night when they knew there limits and me being that I hadn't ever done the "shots" before didn't know my limit!! Big mistake! So I drank a little more then I should of and was sick later on that night and Sunday. I didn't have a headache though..weird as it seems but I didn't..I think that it had something to do with the water that I was drinking through out the day/night...

I wish that I wouldn't of been so sick that day...I know that they didn't have that much fun sitting around here and watching me jump up and go to the bathroom every 10 minutes!

So the rest of the week we waited for the stove which didn't actually get here and delivered until Friday!! We also waited for the cable guy that was supposed to come on Tuesday and didn't get here until Wednesday and then they wanted to put us off another day?? Seriously?!! That was ridiculous but I stood up and told them a thing or two and got them to come back that day and finish the job!

I stayed on the landlord's butt this past week about the stove!! I think that if I wouldn't of done it the way that I did, we would be sitting here yet again without a stove! So I got a new one out of it!! YAY! Then that day, the Friday the handyman actually came back over on time at 4 and hooked up the gas to it like it needed to be and he even went and got the right parts since they brought the wrong ones!

I think that it was good week..long and stressful considering that it was raining too Tuesday through Wednesday and so that sucked sitting here with the rain and also waiting .. Sitting and waiting is all that we seemed to of done last week! Me and the kids went over to the other house Friday night or so and packed up the van and then brought it home and then yesterday they brought in a box at a time and I put things up one box at a time..easier doing it that way then just bringing in everything and having a ton of boxes sitting around...

Have a great week everyone and if your not following me, follow me and leave a comment to let me know and I will follow you back Have a great upcoming week...

Behind on blog dare darn it!!

2012-01-29T18:39:00.000-06:00

I have gotten a tad behind..uh huh more like 10 days or so behind on the blog dare since I have been moving haven't had the chance to get on and relax and blog like I have wanted to. So I am hoping to get that caught up this evening while waiting on my parents to come here with the bunk bed that we bought and a few other things that we need and they wanted to give us that they don't need anymore and the way that they see it is that they are losing stuff out of there garage so they can actually use the garage for things and giving it to us .. But at least we are getting things that we can use and need and we have room for things in this house.. Have nothing in here compared to where we moved from! Upgrading from a tiny 3 bedroom to a 5 bedroom! So I have to go get everything...well it seems like everything..I want want want for this house and I am determined to have this house for a very very very long time and not move again. This house is big enough for the kids to go to college and stay here and then some. Each of there rooms are huge! I think that there rooms are bigger then my room! I don't mind..There rooms are together sorta and then mine is across the other side of the hall which is good for my work when I'm on the phone...I can't wait to get set up and going again with my work!

Incredimail - Gold upgrading!

2012-01-29T18:31:00.002-06:00

I am a huge fan of Incredimail...if you haven't try it you really should. I love it! Its an email program and I am just in love with it! I have the gold and I upgraded it before..not that much like $20 for the gold or so and $25 for the lifetime thing I think..wasn't too too much that's for sure. But since I have had my computer (desktop) die on me since then I don't know the codes and all that to put in etc...so I have decided to just go ahead and get it yet again since the gold only last a year I believe and just do it when I get my taxes..I hate the ads on the bottom of my emails, that is just icky looking!

Try Incredimail if you love the stationary in emails and like to have fun with your emails try them :) Its free you don't have to get the "gold"

I'm almost done moving!

2012-01-28T09:11:00.001-06:00

I'm almost done moving and back to norm! Almost...still have a few things as far as furniture at the other house I need to get over here and then finishing up my room and that's about it! It will take the most part of today and then finishing up and that will be it..done! Back to norm for the most part finally!!

I have been bringing it from over there to over here and then putting up and going through as they bring in the boxes so I think that has helped me get this house settled in faster doing it that way..we will see.

Still isn't done as far as the decorating and so forth but that will be next week/weekend when all that comes into place!

Have a great weekend everyone, going to try to get caught up on my blog dare now

Blog Dare - Day 27 - You don't know me...

2012-01-27T18:31:00.000-06:00

For this blog its called...You don't know me...You don't know me, so don't judge me is the first thing that came to my mind and then you don't know me so don't tell me what to do unless you have walked in my shoes.

I used to write daily in my journal and then that stopped..the writing I mean not blogging on the PC. Then I got into blogging and use to write daily about whatever came to my mind on my myspace blog and that's where I got the addiction so to speak for my writing and journaling again ... Blogging. I love to write about whatever and anything.

I used to want to write when I was younger. I wanted to write about the things that went on in my life and how I don't know my bio dad and how my mom kept it from me until after my grandfather died and I called my dad that was named on my birth certificate and he is the one that told me "you know that I'm not your bio dad right?!" well then that opened up a whole new chapter in my life that I had known nothing about and that makes me wonder..what if I wouldn't of gotten up the nerve to call him and talk to him would I of ever of learned that he wasn't my father? I didn't know him..never met him except when I was born and when I was a year old..by that time my mom had divorced him after I spent my first birthday and Christmas in Germany.

So it wasn't until my last child/son was almost 2 years old that my grandfather died and then and there for some reason I decided to get ahold of the father that I thought I never knew and wanted to get to know..turns out he wasn't my dad..I guess he just was put down as my father on my BC because he was there and married to my mom...that's another blog for later on...

Blog Dare - Day 26 - An annoying myth or wives-tale.

2012-01-26T18:21:00.000-06:00

One of the myths that I hear that I think is annoying is that stay at home moms don't work as hard as the moms that actually go "out in the real world" and work. I don't agree with that at all. I am a stay at home mom but I also work at home. Yes it can be challenging and especially when I first started about 10 years ago when the kids were still pretty little and weren't able to do things by their selves but I made it work and continue to do that today. Its easier today since they are teens but when they were smaller it was challenging but the good thing is that they were old enough to be in school and I would just work when they were in school and then was off when they got out of school and then I helped them with homework and all that good stuff :)

I understand that moms that work out in the real world work hard too but I believe that were even because we each work and do our own schedule of things and live our lives as we want and need to in order to keep our household in line and for some of us its just not where some moms can work at home and I get that just like in some instances its moms like me who just would rather stay at home and work my own hours and such and heck even stay in my pj's when working and taking calls etc if I choose too.

Blog Dare - Day 25 - My Grandparent's house...

2012-01-25T17:05:00.000-06:00

Blog Dare - Day 25 - My Grandparents house was one of my favorite places to go to when I was a kid. There house was so pretty and everything was in place and there was never any dirt to clutter around. Everything was so perfect and in its place. So many pretties everywhere! She had the China cabinet in the formal dining room and all of her pretty dolls and things sitting on her bed in her 2 spare rooms and her other little pretty curio cabinets on the walls and the tables that had the pretties sitting there and on top of the TV. When I grew up and had babies and went over there she still had the pretties sitting around but it would make me so nervous with my little ones over there that they would accidentally break something or pick something up and drop it! They never did that I remember..they always seemed to listen really good to me back in the days when they were little so that's really good.

My grandmother has since moved out of the house that I used to go too and loved to spend time with them there. I haven't even been to her "new house" which was or is her last hubby's house in the Oklahoma City area. I only met that hubby once and then he was gone..so sad! I loved him he was a nice man that treated her good. BUt I will always remember her and my grandfather first one in that one house and all the memories there will never die..they are faded somewhat unless I think about them but I remember special times with each of them. I miss my grandfather, lost him to cancer when my youngest son was almost 2...its been 11 years or so since he's been gone but I will always remember the special times that we had together. He use to let me sit in his lap in his blue work van and took me to his greenhouses and walked around there and talked and let me feed the ducks in the back at the pond when I was a little girl...missing him dearly! My grandmother is still around, saw her in Oct or so..will go visit her soon...

Blog Dare - Day 24 - I wasn't suppose to see...

2012-01-24T16:56:00.000-06:00

Blog Dare - Day 24 - I wasn't supposed to see...hmm I don't know..lets see..maybe something that I have read or maybe one of my kids doing something like getting into my snack stash when they weren't supposed too..not too sure about this one..might have to do some more thinking on this one and come back because this answer is definitely boring!

Blog Dare - Day 23 - the most vivid dream...

2012-01-23T16:53:00.000-06:00

The most vivid dream...I have a lot of vivid dreams. I can't remember any off of the top of my head...just bits and pieces. I love dreaming and thankfully most of them lately have been great dreams and happy dreams...hoping that they continue that way and that some of them come true!

Blog Dare - Day 22 - Snow days...

2012-01-22T16:47:00.000-06:00

Snow days...they are few and far between around here in southeast Oklahoma. I wouldn't mind them so much if we actually got snow here! We have a couple of times since we've lived here for 2 years. I am use to the other side of the state but have lived here closer to Texas for the past 2 years and not going anywhere since we just moved here in town to a bigger house. So I would love more snow days...maybe we will get some..never know!

Blog Dare - Day 21 - An impactful book in my life.

2012-01-21T16:46:00.000-06:00

Well this is an easy one..the Bible. I have to admit that I haven't been reading it that often .. not as often as I would like too and need to but it has impacted my life in more ways then one.

Blog Dare - Day 20 - Something mischievous I did as a child.

2012-01-20T16:19:00.000-06:00

Something mischievous I did as a child...hmm, not too sure about this...sneaking out of my bedroom window at my grandparents house when I was a teen...does that count as mischievous? Hmm, I was a pretty good kid...at least I think I was! I don't remember being that bad..hehe or maybe I was and the thoughts are just not in my head right now..nah..I was a good little girl...

Taxes accepted and pics of new house coming up!!

2012-01-19T22:14:00.000-06:00

I filed back on the twelfth and I got the federal accepted yesterday late I guess late afternoon or early evening and then state today...so that is good and done...now just to wait until I get it. Then I can get the things for the new house that I need and want.

I am ready to start a new in this new house.. I have pics of the house and will share..I love it and the rooms are so big..compared to what were in now that house is like double of this one! And I love the landlord already..he got me a side by side fridge! The stinking painters look like they got paint on the top of the doors of it but otherwise its nice and white and I love it side by side with water/ice..I won't leave it where he put it..will probably move it beside where the stove will go..it wasn't in there yet but he did take out the old one and said that he would put one in there so I know that he will...can't wait!! So excited and thrilled about it..

Sharing a few pics on here...really happy with the house and they painted the whole thing..I don't think they did the front room it doesn't look that bad..just a touch up here and there and then they didn't the mid bedroom because hubby told him not too that he thought my daughter would like and not sure she's thrilled with it and wanting it...yellow and green with stars on the ceiling! So whoever gets that room we will allow to paint it ....So it will probably be my middle son Chris who was going to get that room in the first place....We will see...

Blog Dare - Day 19 - The last time I laughed so hard, I cried.

2012-01-19T15:38:00.000-06:00

The last time that I laughed so hard I cried...well it was either the weekend two weeks ago that two of my best friends came down and they were acting all kinds of goofy and we all had a blast with the kids. They were rolling down the hallway on a skateboard laying on it not standing on it and they were having an absolute blast hollering and laughing...I enjoyed that weekend so much

Blog Dare Day 18 - Something at home/work that serves no purpose.

2012-01-18T22:36:00.000-06:00

Day 18 - Something at home/work that serves no purpose.

Something at home/work that serves no purpose...home is my work and right now I can't think of anything that doesn't serve any purpose at my home.....well my hubby right now since he's sitting here rambling and preaching...oh brother! That serves NO purpose!!

2012-01-18T16:26:00.001-06:00

Hey there everyone, have you filed your taxes yet?? I did ours on the 12th knowing that they wouldn't be starting to accept them until yesterday the 17th but I wanted to get them done and out of the way...Not sure that was soon enough though..we still haven't gotten accepted as of yet..darn it so that means that we might not get anything back until the 1st or so? I am still hoping for next Friday..we will see. I need to get the truck and get to moving into my new house Its huge and I love it...5 bedrooms for 600 a month can't beat that!

I have never seen one on the front porch but we have one! Kinda cool!

And the second thing is..before my children, the first time that I saw my first true love I knew that there was a special connection there and there was and still is...we have been best friends ever since ...

Blog Dare - Day 15 - Why I don't like a certain cartoon character

2012-01-15T22:25:00.000-06:00

Blog Dare - Day 15 - Why I don't like a certain cartoon character

Well this one is kinda easy...I don't like the Family Guy kid...can't even think of his name at this moment but I don't like him! I don't like the show and I don't like any of the characters on there. They just turn my stomach on the way that they talk and such and I just don't like it...I miss the days of Scooby Doo and Bugs Bunny..the good and wholesome characters that didn't teach kids such foul and disrespectful things that fly out of there mouths!
