You have been my greatest challenge and GREATEST reward and I will always be here for you! I love you and hope your day is as special as you are!! Love you always and forever, Mommy

Rememberance

Today is a day for all Americans of remembrance and also great honor! We will never forget the many lives lost in this terrible tragedy! We also thank all the men and women who risked their lives that day and all the days and years since! I am so proud to call myself an American!!

Where do I start??

I think today is Wednesday?! It is looking to be a busy day or few days.

For starters, Janaya Marie is starting her 2nd and last year of pre-school today! She will be in Kindergarten next year...CRAZY! She is all dressed in Hanna Montana (of coarse) and her hair is beautiful with a "hair style" and she can't wait to see her friends!! It just seems so surreal to me how much they have all grown and it just seems to be getting faster each year!

Today is my sisters b-day and she is coming for a visit with the boys! Also my Grandma arrived last night for about 3 weeks! We never get to see her, it has been over a year now since our last visit, and we get to enjoy 3 whole weeks!! I will try to get a pic of her and the kids!!

Tomorrow is a b-day here...have to wait till tomorrow to find out who??!!

Tonight Julia has Gymnastics and I go bowling. A little apprehensive but I love bowling and am going to stick with it! Other thing is if I quit I probably won't be able to go to Nationals in May which is in RENO!!! I didn't go last year and that was my own fault for the arm break! I have never been there, or on a plane so I am not giving that up!

Have a Great Day!!

OUCH and I'm Tired..

When I went to bed late last night at 11:00 I should have known then that something was up! I always have a hard time going and staying asleep so it doesn't take much to throw me off as I'm never really on...or something like that!
Anyway at 2:46 Janaya woke me up from a "nightmare" although she was coughing her little lungs out and couldn't stop, she also got me up at 4:15 for the same problem. So I got her medicine and a drink and then it was that there were no "kids shows" on the TV and now its time to watch them?!
So I try to go back to sleep and at 5am here I am awake starting a raging UTI. Needless to say I took the medicine for pain they gave me but it didn't kick in till like 6:30 or so so I am still awake and feel like I got hit by a truck...or something of that nature. Thankfully I have the antibiotic on file at the Pharmacy and have called it in already. When I had to go to the ER in June the doc put like 3 refills so when this happens I don't have to go in and be seen. Not sure if you remember but I had one in beginning of April and June also. If this is gonna happen every two months somethings wrong, that just doesn't seem right, can't they do something. I have given up most caffeine and baths (shower only) as they say they can be contributors, now what??

Here's a little story... while we were out at some friends house for supper the kids ventured outside to play and being it in the country and lots of corn fields they "hike" around alot. Janaya came running in the house....
Janaya: Mom theres something moving in the bushes...its really moving...come see
Me: There is? What is it?
Janaya: Its something..come see...well.. it might be a fox or a snake!
Me: What..Oh my gosh...does it have legs??
Janaya: YES!!
Me: Ok then it cant be a snake...they don't have legs
Janaya: Ya well its a BIG RAT!!
Me (laughing) well Im not going out there then...
Janaya: I saw them its a rat and fox laying down...
Me: LAUGHING some more... ok well go play on the other side then....
There she goes running off to play again...

Lately Janaya has been so funny, I think this last week she has had me cracking up!!

So we have a big weekend planned. Tonight was supper at friends!! Tomorrow is sign up for bowling for the kids! They are so excited and anxious to get started again! Sunday is Rally Sunday at our church and the kids will start Sunday school for the year! Depending on weather we'd like to try to get in some fishing again before its too cold! Have a good weekend!!

Bowling Season

I can't believe how incredibly fast this Summer went. It was too short and i need more time..HA! So our bowling season started last night and was a good and not so good night! This was my first time bowling since last December coming off a broken wrist and did quite well for me! I started with a 150 then 123 & 124 averaging 130 for the night!! My average for the first half of last year was 124 so I was feeling good about that.

So then it was time to visit with the girls again I so missed that in my "adult" conversation lacking world and it came out that I made up with a certain "best" friend! Needless to say my step mom didn't like this and called me a horrible horrible name, I about cried and was ready to leave and never return...HURT FEEL BADS!! I was shocked and ANGRY, I think I still am, this is one of my issues, the "grudge holding" person I am has a week to get over this or its gonna be a long year! How do you forgive someone for something that is so degrading??
