Happy new year !!!

She i s here she i s out of the hospital and happy to be home

Hospital

Came home from the hospital today. They had to tie Barbra down, she won't stay in bed. I have had 4 or so glass's of wine so this may not make sense. When we were there today her eye and hand twitched. this makes night number 2, she still doesn't seem back to herself, its hard to explain, but she just isn't the same. More agrressive, she told the nurses she was going to throw them out the window and cursed them. She was trying to bite her way out of the restraints. She itches all over, she reminds me of the hard patient I had that would try and hit me if you didn't do exactly what she wanted you to. That old bat, but I got attached to her very quickly, it was just routine she liked routine, Barbra just wants to come home, she was yelling for steve or me and asking us to help her get out, they are trying to kill me she kept saying. I smile and tell her it will be fine but I cry inside. I need to sleep but everytime I lay down I am right bacck up it seems like no time at all and now I have to wake up.Maybe the wine and an ambien will help. Merry Christmas.............

Mia

We made ornaments, and painted clear ornaments, and wooden ones. We made christmas cards and valentines day cards. Mia had a Purse pinata, it was alot of fun. Steve picked out a beautiful cake with roses all over. We had dogs and burgers, and the first big storm of the year. Theres about 8-10 inches on the ground now, through the whole party it snowed and it was beautiful! The girls turned on music and danced, and laughed and oh did they eat!!! :) I can't believe Mia is Nine years old tomorrow morning at 8:00 am. I remember the day like it was yesterday. I love her cry, the first time I heard her I was so happy, and now when I hear her cry I am so sad. But one thing has not changed, she is just as beautiful today as she was that day nine years ago... My baby is getting so big....my little princess isn't so little anymore.

Mia Birthday Party

Today was Mia's birthday party. We had Steve's family over, Mia's friends and it was nice. It was very different but it was nice. Mia enjoyed herself but she misses her old friends. I missed having them there too. I already know them, you know, Kristen, Madalin, I know what to expect from them, I know how to handle them, the boys still haven't had anyone spend the night and they really have no interest in having anyone over. I tried talking to them about it but they just say they want their old friends not new ones. Chase wishes that he had Cameron living around the corner, and Will he just says its not the same, I don't know anyone's name. I don't think he is even trying to make friends. It was a birthday with new faces, not a single old except us. I tried talking to Steve's family but you know how hard that is. its just different, my friends weren't there, my family wasn't there. Even though me and my Mom don't get along I always know that even if its for 20 minutes she is always at the kids birthdays. And even though I bitch evertime about her, I know miss her and the comfort of knowing she will be there. I just kept to myself today. Just kinda smiled and that was it. I have everything I want know, why can't I just be happy with it?

Ivy

Ivy, so even though I know she is a phone call away and I know that if something drastic were to happen either she would fly here or I would fly there but not being in the same town, or at least within driving distance is really much harder than I thought it would be. I don't want to call and talk to her on the phone because its a constant reminder of how far away she is. Now don't get me wrong, Ivy and I have wanted to tare eachothers eyees out over the years. But she is the first Woman that I have trusted in a very long time. She is probably the one person that I tell the most things to because I know that she wont judge me. The fact that she is a Morman and I an Christian makes our relationship that much sweeter. When it came to religion the first few years we never talked about it. Then slowly it came up, then it was something that was out in the open and I wasn't afraid to talk in front of her. Even when I was mad at her, and her at me. It may have taken awhile and she may be different in her own way, but so is everyone else. I know I am. I know I defiently am. Her Husband is the only guy I have felt comfortable hugging besides my brothers and my husband. It took along time for him to talk, but when I would go over to her house and he would talk to me and really talk to me you know, not the regular hi how are you, but really talk to me about crap that was going on in his life, my life and his wife's, it was just a confirmation that I was really a part of her life and a part of her family. It was confirmation that he wasn't tolerating me like I feel like most people do but he enjoyed me being around. That meant and means so much to me I don't know how to explain it. He hugs good, and his hugs are pure and with his heart out, and to see him and her together makes you believe that no matter what religion you are God does exist. Because God is the only one that could make such a wonderful union with two beautiful people that I miss dearly. I miss sitting at the dinner table, it didn't matter who came by to say to them, what relative, what friend, what church member, I was welcome, not made to feel like I had to hide in the back like my family does to me, but out in the open shes' glad I'm there. I miss Thelma coming up and sitting down and talking to me, and really taking an interest in me and telling me all the time how happy she is for me and how much she loves me and how great my children are and what a wonderful husband I have. I miss my nephews walking through smiling at me, the hug from Asher and his face looking up at you that only he can do. He's my son's best friend, thousands and thousands of miles away and the only friend that he cried over was Asher and Mason. I pray that they can keep that friendship close to their hearts. I miss being at the table when dinner was being made, all the kids, the smells, the laughter, the intimate yet casual talks with my best friend that I could love a hug from right now. I miss those moments, I will hold them in my heart for the rest of my life and I can only feel blessed to have had them and pray that there will be more. I miss my Jolly.

Criminal Procedure

Ok, just took my final!!!! I won't find out what my grade is till next week I think, and I take my final for Community Policing tomorrow! That one is timed, I hate timed tests expecially finals. I know the answer I just can't get it on paper right away or on the computer so to speak. So I think I told you guys already that Will is wrestling, well he came home with his first information on a tournament. Its in 13 days he informed me as he walked through the door tonight. 13 days until I get to battle :) hahahah battle, I smiled and told him its called wrestle, but either way he is excited, he got his head gear tonight and his singlet, man I forgot how damn small those things were. I have to ask Steve about a cup or what are they suppose to use for their boys, I mean all I had to worry about was my girls and I had tons of sport braws already that it was never an issue.They have a tournament coming up in a few weeks that you have to pay top dollar to get into it or you can donate time and keep score. Its been so long but just the thought of keeping score and being on the mat or around it gave me a warm fuzzy inside :) I was showing Will some moves the other night, he went to show Chase and hurt him, he isn't built like Will, and so I had to have a talk with Will, that he can practice with me and Dad and thats it. No practicing with the kids. It makes me smile deep inside that he can handle himself though you know. I know that if God forbid I was on the streets again that I could and would take care of myself. Seeing him wrestle gives me a sense of security with him. Its sounds so weird but not that I don't worry about him but that maybe he is like me a little bit. Maybe that flare and defience is me and not his real father. Maybe his heart and will and drive is an atribute that I passed to him. That maybe I wasn't such a bad kid after all, and not a bad person now, that I have raised my oldest child so far pretty good. Thats just a glimpse into the little bit of my inners that I will talk about. Enough about this mushhy crapp! Jolly will think I'm fru fru girlly now, so just to set the record straight I'm not! :P

.........

Long long day....well Barbra and Steve went to the Dr for her in Philly and she got a good bill of health. Doc said she was healing fine and it all looks good from here on out. Steve is so thankful, so glad you can tell when he talks about it, its like he can finally breath. The school had a movie night and Steve my awesome husband let me and the girls go alone. Yaaaayyyyyyy They had fun, and it was a good movie. Polar Express, that movie always makes me smile. Tomorrow he will be leaving at the but crack of dawn and don't know if he will be back tomorrow night or Sunday night. So I am going to snuggle with my husband before he has to leave.

Update

ok, so I have not been keeping this up because I have been having a rough couple of weeks. I'm getting panick attacks and all other kind of crap that you don't want to hear about and don't need too. But Here's a recap on the past few weeks. Steve has his first weekend this weekend in the reserves so he's really freaking out about it. William woke up with half his face swollen and a knot under his ear, we are waiting for the test results on that one, Hunter nearly cut his finger off with a razor, but its healing nicely. Angela is having meltdown after meltdown with the damn crying. Chase got an in school suspension for elbowing 3 kids because he insisted that he was not out at the game. It started snowing. Hunter wont sleep in his bed, he is all of a sudden scared of his room. Mia will not stop sliding down the banister on her cast, I keep telling her she is going to brake her foot off but she doesn't listen. Steve's mom Barbra has a doctors appointment in Philly tomorrow to see how her head is healing, I have to go to the food bank for her tomorrow because she wont accept food from us and she needs it, so I have to go with a note from her since she will be at the doctors office with Steve. I volunteered at the school for the book fair and they are all skinny rich women, I'm almost 30 now and I am getting a streak of gray hair in the front that I'm not dealing well with. I have a final tomorrow and one next week, then I start another class on Wednesday, I don't get to watch any TV cause I'm so feakin busy now, I have been going to work out for an hour everyday for 3 weeks now and I haven't lost a pound and Steve wants US to give up chocolate. (I think he has a death wish) We went to a Lutheran Church to try it out and Steve loved it and I found myself so uncomfortable I didn't even talk, which you know me, its gotta be pretty bad if I am not talking. We tried a church kind of like NewLife and it was hollow, so we are going to go back to the Lutheran one and give it one more shot, everyone is so freakin happy and smiling there. Its not that freakin good at 9 am on a Sunday! So consider yourself updated!

There i s a coach outlet here and it i s huge!

Wii IIIIIssssssssss Bad!!!

Ok, so I know its not funny but it really kinda is. My Pops came out for thanksgiving and since he will be a Bessie's for X-mas, so he got the family a Wii for Christmas. So we had it all but maybe 45 minutes when Mia and Angela decided to bowl. well Mia was playing about 5 minutes and decided to try and do trurling while bowling. Right on her ankle, had to rush her to the hospital she was having an asthma attack, then throwing up it was a mess, When she did it I picked her up and put her on the recliner. It was kinda funny when she fell and welll hell, ok I was laughing my Ass off!!!!! I put her on the recliner and inbetween blood curling scream and dry heaves she yelled, tttthhhhhhhheeeeeeeee the Wii is BBBAAAADDDDD!!!! Me and Will just looked at eachother and busted out laughing. She got really upset so we quickly apoligized and held back our smiles, she was really hurt though. We rushed her to the hospital. Angela and Will were great, they got Hunter put him into the car, got his bag packed, and they were in the car, offering as much help as they could. When I pulled up before I put the car in park Angela already had the back door open and helping Mia out, William had Hunter out of the seat and carrying him in, I ran over to the other side of the car and picked Mia up. Got a wheel chair, I looked down, and relized Will forgot to put shoes on :) It was so funny. So four days later, and she has a nice big cast that will stay there for about two months. So beware of the Wii....bowling that is :)

Philly

So we got up today and headed to Philadelphia and we saw where the constitution of the United States was not only written but signed. We saw the courts, the liberty bell, Ben Franklin's grave and we toured the Building were George Washington and the great fathers of America once walked. I looked and stared at the actual seat that George Washington sat when he heard the countries cries for independence from England. I think every American Citizen should have to take a tour of the area; it gives you a sense of pride. If you watch the people come out of the tour, and their heads are held a little higher. I don't think history is put into the schools enough, my kids walked out with their father and not only did he feel like the last 12 years of his life were for the greater good, but his kids understood just a little bit more of the reasons he joined the United States Navy. My Pop is a Marine, once a marine, always a marine. And I watched him as he gazed upon the Liberty Bell. He took a deep breath, almost as if he was trying to breath in the freedom. He smiled the way only he can - the kind of smile that makes you know there is good in the world. That day I saw a Marine and a Sailor Proud of their Country and it’s an honor to be in their presence. I am a Proud American!

Thanksgiving

ok, so its been awhile since I actually got on so lets see what I can get before I go to bed. Thursday was Thanksgiving, and we have so much to be thankfull for. We have a beautiful house, everyone is healthy, Steve has his new job during a hard economic time and we are still doing good, we haven't yet felt anything from him getting out of the military but I will say that procrastination is not something I am thankful for. I am thankful for our early planning. My Pops flew in, its been a year since I saw him, and Steve's Mom came too. I cooked all day and everything came out perfect!!! The girls helped me cook for almost 4 hours, then they hid in their room and asked Dad if they had to cook...........:) It was fun, and they didn't get too crazy out of hand so all is good. We ate so much, and now we are all fatter!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so thankful for everything we have, most of all I am thankful that Barbra is alive and very healthy and that I not only do I have a Wonderful Father but a wonderful FAMILY here in my home and I couldn't as for more!!!!!!!!!!!

We have seen where george washington sat while in term and we stood where the declaration was signed

We are in philly and i t i s so cool!

Blah....blah.....blah.......

So I'm blah today, went and got our ID's at the base, William got an ID and its his first one so he was really excited. Got the turkey, made Chocolate no bake cookies. So the kids are in bed now and the boys are hanging out downstairs. My Pops is coming on Thursday. Can't wait to see him

William

Tommorow William will start wrestling. Its his first class, he is really excited. And I'm excited for him, we were practicing wrestling moves in the front room. I was showing him and instead of the smart ass comments he has been making lately he smiled and was really intrested. I hope this will help center him. I don't know what has got into him lately, well I mean I know that the move is hard on the kids, all of them are having issues in their own ways you know..... but I think its just cause I am so close with him. I just wish there was some way I could help him, lets hope that this will give him the outlet he needs. And I really think he would be good at it too. He has put Chase in a couple moves and not even relized it. So we will see how he does. :)

Hunter

 So we just happened to stop by the local mall. There was flyer's all over the place about a modeling competition for the kids. I was like why not, he's are last one so what the hell. Well he got 2nd place, runner up and he advanced to state competition. And he was in the worst mood too, cause it was right at nap time. I was so excited when they said his number, I thought for sure he wasn't in it, he was squirming so much and he was screaming! But he did and its awesome!

He won a trophy and they pay the three hundred dollar entry to state finals

We are no our way to a modeling competition for hunter his first one so wish us luck!

Night

I'm sitting in my bed with Law & Order Criminal Intent on tv, typing away at my computer. Everyone is qquiet, its very calming.

Steve was sworn in today - he is now in the Navy Reserves. Yaaaay I'm very proud of him!

Hallo

All the kids are in bed. Hunter had a rough day, he woke up with throw up all over him, diarrhea and a horrible rash. I don't know when he threw up but I know he's sick, he slept for almost 4 hours and his fever broke after a few. Steve took the kids to the Y and Hunter was still not feeling good, he woke up and he was in a great mood so I thought he would be better but nope. I hope he feels better tomorrow. I got to bake muffins today, and a whole chicken, and I made baked potatoes and I baked them! the entire time, no microwave or anything. It was really cool, but I'm sure there is a better way to make muffins than from a box or bag. I will have to see what I can come up with.

Mia

Mia is having a really hard time with on of her siblings, she has been crying alot and upset, and she's on me like glue. I wish I could do something to help her. We have talked to the other child, Steve by himself, then me by myself, then together and still we don't know what to do to help her. Anyone got any ideas?

School

So I am getting so close to finishing my two class's its killin me!!!! You know when you think its going to be so cool going back to school and then you go and then it sucks and you don't want to do it anymore!!! Yup well I'm there

Friday

So tired of unpacking, we are going to go for a walk and then try again :) Hunter is giving me kisses, that is his new thing now.

Internet

We finally have internet! That will make it alot easier around here. Ok, so for starters we are living in a beautiful 4 bedroom house, two living rooms, one of them we made into the office area and a back living room. Deck out back, a retired Judge, 2 Retired Philly cops, and 1 retired FBI agent as neighbors. To say the least I feel safe :) Our house has a basement that the boys are living in, we go tomorrow to get the finishing touch's. We got our stuff delivered on Tuesday and everything is done except hanging crap up and the boys area. We got cable, internet today! The house is 2000 sq ft, thats awesome!!!!!!!!!! Hunter has his own room!!! The girls are still sharing but the boys don't mind since now they have the foozball table and the air hockey, and the ping pong table in their rooms. The kitchen is small compared to the other house but hey its our first house out here and we already know that when we buy we are going to request some other things. So we start house hunting in 6 months, excited and nervous at the same time it going to be just getting to normal and here we go up and changing again, but the school district will stay the same, it will be alot of moving again that I am by no means looking forward to. I am tired, my feet hurt, my hands hurt, I'm just a big ball of Whining right now !!!

It is pretty amazing to watch there guys they carry alot no their backs i don t know if i could do that and they are old!

The movers are here with our stuff it is still so weird having people touch your stuff hopefully this will go quickly but i doubt it

Thursday

So thursday I will have internet and cable installed, sometime between 11-1 if everything goes right!!! Keep your fingers crossed.

We are at the naval air station its pretty cool steve gp getting stuff to sigh n up for the reserves

No Internet

Ok, so the last couple days have been crazy!!! Mom has dial up and it seriously takes forever. You can't load crap, and there is no use trying to load stuff cause when you do it freezes up on you. So we get into our own place on Thursday night and internet should be connected next week some time. So I'm not ignoring anyone I just can't get online :( Sorry. Right now I am at the public library doing my homework, tests, for school since I can't do them from mom's house. So I will be back last night have to get back to my work.

Testing

Day 9

We spent two days with my Grandma, it was so nice! We relaxed, hung out with grandma, we ate Speghetti dinner that I cooked I have never been so excited to cook. You get tired of eating out, never thought I would say that. We went to my Tio’s house last night. We were only going to go stay for a while and ended up not getting back to Grandma’s till 12:30. I love being at Grandmas house, the smells, the warmth, there isn’t words that can explain it, its just Grandmas house.
Steve played darts with my Uncle and we all talked and hung out. My cousin Jose wasn’t able to come over put Jason, Johnny and Kyle were there. Then Loranna came by with Caleb the baby, he is so Cute!!!! He looks just like Jason, that smirk – that’s what it is. Johnny is so tall and skinny!!! The last time I saw him he was 200 lbs and plus but now he is super skinny.
On way to Bessie’s house. There will be a total of 9 kids while we are there.

Wisconsin Dells

So we stopped at another amazing room! We are in Wisconsin Dells. The pool is awesome, its like we have our own little waterpark, there is a huge frog for a slide and you slide down his tongue. The kiddie one for Hunter is huge. He went in it for a long time then he kept going to the steps of the hot tub, it was much warmer than the others. All the kids have red eyes and are needing some sleep. They crashed when they got back from the pool. Today we are going to Grandma Shultz's. Since its only a few hours away we are taking our time getting up in the morning and what not. So we can relax a little. Wisconsin Dells is awesome - its huge, and there is tons of crap to do.

Steve is !!!!

Ok, its official I can now call him my OLD MAN!!!!! :) He is thirty now. He says he feels older but I think he is just as sexy, wonderful and amazing as he was the first day I met him. Happy Birthday my Husband!!! We love you!!!

Grandma Shultz

So I am looking at the map and we should be at my Grandma’s or Uncle’s by tomorrow. Yaaayyyyyyy. I just called my Grandma and let her know that we will be there tomorrow afternoon. I just like being at my Grandma’s. I have such fond memories of being at my Grandmas. I can remember the sounds and smells, and hearing Grandma drinking her coffee early early in the morning. I would get up early so I could get Grandma all to myself. I would get up and sit on the steps and look down, you could see her in there with her light colored gown for PJ’s, her hair a little messed up and a big smile on her face. Hi Peanut, that’s what I was waiting for  then you know your at Grandma’s. That and Edle Vice, not sure how you spell that but Grandma’s piano plays it, I remember me and my sister would play – I love that piano.

Spam

We just passed a Spam Museum. What the heck is that? I didn’t relize that canned meat was a historic thing to see  WOW!

Gas Station

Ok so we stopped at a gas station and there was an old man that asked what part of Washington we were from, I told him Silverdale, he said he was from Port Angeles. He said he left yesterday and this is the beginning of the trip, YUP We are on Day 7 and he is on Day 2, He drove straight thru. I got in and told Steve and all he could do was laugh. He left YESTERDAY!!!! That’s crazy!!! But then again he is by himself so I could travel further if it was just me but its not so we don’t. I’m excited to get going though, I don’t want to live out of a suitcase anymore.

Minnesota

Ok, we are in Minnesota now. Looks the same as South Dakota but a little more trees. Mall of America is in Minnesota and we did think and talk about going there but I would rather get to my Uncle and Grandmas and spend a few days there with them than go to the mall of America, it would be so crazy there, and I would have to carry Hunter the entire time, its not like I could just let him walk around which is what he would like to do.

Day 7

Up N At’m…………We are still in South Dakota, got up and got ready. We have been giving the kids vitamins to keep off this stomach bug we brought with us from Washington. Will is feeling much better now, Chase started feeling off, so Pepto, and Tums are at hands reach. Last night we ate Chinese that was in walking distance of the hotel. It was nice to get out and just walk, Hunter is getting so heavy!!! We ate good but the boys didn’t really eat, they are still recovering in a way. When we went in the Chinese place I told the lady there were 7 of us, and she was like uuuuuhhhhh we don’t have room. I asked if we could take two booths, she said their were non, then these two Hunters said they would move if we wanted, he said he had kids and he understood. I thought that was really nice of him. So we took up two booths. Food was really good and I liked it a lot better than pizza.

Its the big 30

Tomorrow is Steve's birthday. We are going to be on the road, nothing bigged planned for tomorrow. I think we will be in Minnesota. THen to Chicago to see my TIo and Tia, then my Grandma.......

Got another suite with two rooms, a little pricer but well worth it. This one had a whirlpool in our room. So steve went down to the pool with the kids and me and Hunter ran Daddy a hot bubble bath in the whirlpool. He came up and the kids kept asking to go ingo the whirlpool and I kept saying no, then I told Steve we had to talk and I had the warm bath drawn...I told him to relax birthday boy. He went and got a six pack, and layed in there. I wish I could do more for him but he has been very adamit about not making a big deal out of this one.

Day 6

Today we went to mount rushmore. It was really neat. It was really really neat. When we got to the top and could see it all....it just got quite, the kids just looked up - I turned around and there were all the flags from every state, it was just a sense of pride, a sense of compassion and a shared love for this country. I'm part Mexican and Part German/Indian. My Pops is a Marine, he is so proud to be an american. We went into the exhibits and saw the videos, what Mount Rushmore stands for and how long it took it to be built. I'm not sure if the kids really got or not, but I did. I know it seems like a small thing but I never thought I would go see it, I've seen it on cups, on shirts but not in person. It started walking out and it started raining, I was still smiling. Man it got so cold so quick, we were driving by and saw a bear babyland, so we couldn't pass up baby bears. They were so cute....the kids loved it. Hunter kept pointing and laughing. We made it to somewhere in SD, I know we 95 miles from Siox Falls, SD - thats where we were trying to make it but Hunter had different plans.

Day 5

Today was really cool! We are staying at a Micro Inn and Suites and it is sooooo nice. Me and Steve have our own room with a door that is in the same suite as the kids. They have two queen beds and a kitchen area. So cool. But the really neat thing was today we were in Wyomning again and went to Devil's Tower, it was so neat. The kids and Steve did the small 1.3 mile hike around the base. Me and Hunter tried but his little legs only took him about a quarter of the way. Then we went through Sturgis and Steve showed me where he stayed and what bars he went to when he was there. That was really neat to see, and its such a small town, I guess I expected more. Its like a ghost town, tons of bars and buildings that are closed down that only open for those two weeks a year. That just amazes me. We went to Deadwood also and saw where Wild Bill and Calamity Jane are buried, the bar where Wild Bill was killed, we saw Sanford Experimental Laboratory. That was really huge. Check out where it is and what it is Click Here
Getting tired and sleepy. We are going to hit Mount Rushmore tomorrow. I will try and write more tomorrow. I'm just sleepy, the damn time change is screwing me all up.
Ivy - Thanks for following us and being there. I know we drove you nuts while we were there - tell Rick we said we really appreciate his patience. We are going to miss you guys so much.
Natika - I will try and call you its just hard to get any time alone with all seven of us in the car all day. I am going to be at my Grandma's hopefully on Monday and we are going to stay there for a day or two I will try and call then.
Tiffany - I miss you, I wish I could talk to you at lunch, I realllllllly need to walk with all the crap we have been eating. I'm glad you told me about this site. When I write at night I just try to imagine walking and what I would say.

Ok, thank you to everyone for reading this stuff. I never understood why people blogged but I think I get it know :P

I have to take a Criminal Procedure Test now so gotta go. Wish me Luck!

Husband

I believe that when you marry someone you will try your hardest to make that person's life a little bit better each day if you have any control over it. I believe I should wake up every morning and say, what can I do today to help my husband, how can I make this a wonderful day for him. And I expect him to do the same for me. Well I haven't been doing that the last couple of days. We were in the Hotel and Hunter was crying because daddy isn't back yet with his milk, the kids are arguing about what side of the bed am I getting, They are hungery, and in walks Steve. Like the night and shining armor, he gets a bottle made for Hunter then he walks over and gives me not only a beautiful buquet of flowers but a long kiss. I asked him what was that for? His answer was simple and yet the words are taken staight to the heart. He said, Because I love you. The little things that make me love him more today than I loved him yesterday. He is a wonderful father and my lover.

School

I turned in one of my papers yesterday, still waiting on my mid term grades. I hate waiting - sucks. I have a paper due on Saturday I think I will have time tomorrow to finish it, I started it today but didn't finish. I'm on it tomorrow

Will is sick

I got up this morning, not getting nearly enough sleep with Hunter in bed with me and Steve. But I got up to find my wonderful hubby planning out our day and the sites we were going to see, he offered the shower to me since everyone was asleep and told me to take my time. I love him - little things like that is what makes me love him more today than yesterday. I was still kinda asleep when the bathroom door flew open and Steve grabbed me out of the bathroom and Will went running in. I didn't really get it at that specific moment, I was still asleep! What do you expect, then Steve said "Honey - look down, he is sick" There lay at my feet a nice little (very big) pile of lunch, lots of fries, and part of dinner, pizza - lots of sauce. I squinted and woke up really damn quick, checked on Will he was still puking, got wet washclothes and did the mommmy thing. I cleaned up after my kids. Put dry towels down after I had scrubed the carpet, thrown the dirty wash cloths away, and sprayed perfume, opened a window - it was bad! But he felt better. He was really pale, but said he felt fine. He made it through the day until we pulled up infront of the hotel, He looked up, his face so white and said "I need to get out I don't feel good" As soon as he got out there she blew..........all over the nice rocks that probably cost more than all my positions put together, right there in front of the nicest Holiday Inn Express. I took him to walk for a little bit so we weren't right in front of the lobby. He felt better but still whiter than white. He has held down applesauce and bread so far, we will see how he feels in the morning. My poor little guy is so not feeling good. Pray for a better day for him tomorrow. At least if we have a repeat of this morning it will just be applesauce :P,,,,,,,,,,,,

Day 4 - I think

Ok, so today I actually had to ask what state we were in. The waitress looked at me like I was High! I laughed and told her we were traveling cross country. So we went to Montana, then to Wyoming, (weird state, Wyoming, it just sounds weird) then back to Montana, then to Wyoming. At least thats how I think we did it. We went to yellowstone park and saw old faithfull. it was really neat. It made me think about when me and the kids visited the volcano in Hawaii. It was so pretty. But damn did it smell like rotten eggs. The sulfur was so bad...........we I mean it was every where :) It was a long ride, we didn't get in till 8:30 so naturally everyone was tired and cranky....but the sites were amazing...

Still figuring this out

Our last visit with the Greene's to Seattle. Click Herehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/boyerworld/sets/72157622630645172/show/

If you haven't gotten the idea yet, I will be posting as I can after we get to hotels.

ET Phone Home............

I couldn't find his coat in the Honda, so I threw this on him. We stopped at a rest stop and this was a quick throw on its cold here! When we hit Montana the temp dropped to 49. We were a little chilly

Montana

Welcome to Montana……It is beautiful here. The mountains, and all the trees……. It’s just breath taking. We didn’t get a picture of us by the Montana sign because it was actually hanging on a bridge. For fear of being run over just to take a picture we opted out of that one. Maybe the next state. We are headed to Butte, Montana to stay the night at Holiday Inn Express that has NO Pool but has awesome walking trails next to it!!! We will see, at least that’s what Rachel the front girl told us. We should be there in about two hours.
I’m looking at the beautiful mountains and I can’t help but wonder if this is where Jesus walked? Was he on one of these mountain tops? When he made these he really hit perfection. I bet he thinks the same thing when he looks at each of us, why can’t we think that about ourselves? Hmmmmmmm……

HOT ROD CAFÉ

We are in IDAHO!!! We ate lunch at Post Falls Idaho. It was a really kool place. There was tons of stuff on the walls, old stuff. The kid’s meal is great. They get jello off the bat, their meal, and then they go to an actual ice cream truck (the back of one, inside the place) and pick out their ice cream. Hunter of coarse was everywhere; the waitress was really nice and let him run all around. The bathrooms were Awesome! They have flames on their toilet seats, and the mirror is the front of a truck as the grill as a mirror. The walls are black and white tiles and it looks slanted, so you feel like you are walking crooked up a hill. It was really neat. The food was pretty good too. They let me order off the senior citizen menu because I didn’t want a huge meal 

Day 1

We got on the road about 3pm, and got to Tio’s house about 8:30. The kids did really well; they had their moments but no huge melt-downs or anything. We are done with day One. We stayed with my Tio Roy and Tia Cindy. I am really going to miss them. Even though I didn’t see them all the time just knowing that my family was there with open arms really means something to me. My Tia and Tio are such good people, you know….they have huge hearts and they wear them on their sleeves for you to be a part of. They are awesome people!

Honored - Monday 19th

Steve had his award ceremony earlier today that was really kool. He got his medal and the CO thanked him for all his hard work, the XO did the same. Everyone said thank you and how he was such a hard worker and how the navy was going to be losing a good man. I am so proud of him, I know that before I met him he made huge sacrifices, and I know that he loves his kids with everything he has. I felt very honored to be standing there with my five kids surrounding me, as we all gazed at an amazing Man.

Packers

So the packers are suppose to be here any minute and I feel not ready. There is stuff everywhere, not messy but just not packed. I will feel better after they are here. It just seems strange that we are moving out of this house by Friday and nothing is packed, everything is in the honda. I am getting so ancy!!!! I'm just ready to get in the car and go, I'm ready but not at the same time you know.........

Honda Pilot

We got a new car!!!!!!!!!!!! oh yeah, I'm doing a little dance!!! We ALL fit in it........I love that. Its Black and it drives so nice.

School

So I went to bed at 1 am, last night and got almost caught up on all of my work. I did three exams yesterday online. I got 100 on all of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then I did two case breifings and one paper!!! Yeah.........almost there. I only have 2 papers and one exam and I am caught back up on schedule. So tired.............

Hunter

Hunter has been playing with my old crutch, even after I've hidden it - he keeps going and looking for it. Well he just hit himself in the head and he's all upset at the crutch!!! :P He's so silly.

School

I have gotten so behind school, but I am bunkering down this week. Everytime Hunter is at nap I am going to be studing. I hate how you get all excited about school, get into it really like the class then you just loose steam. Well I'm gonna add some coal to the fire and get going :)

Pictures

I am trying to make albums on here and I am having problems, albums not just on the right side...

Pre-Inspection

We had our pre-inspection today, and it went great! No damages!!! Which seemed to surprise the lady, she expected many damages with all the kids. So she was presently surprised. Then the movers came and inventoried all of our stuff. The guy reminded me of my Pops....sweet man. He looked through all of our stuff :)

Private School

We are trying to send the kids to private school. We found one, OCCS - Oswego Christian Community School. I spoke with the headmistress and she is really nice and they have great programs. I am so excited to have them go to private school - this is all happening so fast and for someone as impatient as me its Great!!!

The price of living is so different there its crazy. its only 875 for a 3 bedroom with a den......check it out. http://www.21barringtonproperties.com/eastpointe/#Rates

Wednesday - Almost Friday

OK, so I'm trying to keep this updated but I need that poke (Tiffany :P) So I gave my two weeks notice on Monday. With all my leave and sick that I have saved up I will only be working tomorrow, Tues - Thursday of next week. 4 Days! That's crazy, then I'm at home getting ready for the move. Best part is.......my little guys last day in Daycare is Oct 2nd. Friday of next week. When I pick him up now he runs to me jumps in my arms and hugs me like there's no tomorrow. He doesn't let me go until I've walked out to the car and unlocked it and even then he is reluctant to do so. I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to stay home with my kids.

Did you know that there is a Mexico in New York??? That is awesome!!!!

Starting Off

So I'm new at this, I have to play so give it time.
