well my weekend was pretty busy. friday night we decided we would go to auburn, al and visit johns cousin misty and ian and their two year old bailey. we got up packed up the car and headed down. its about a 3 hour drive and man was it long. we stayed with them and ate, went to the mall, the kids played and just hung out and had a good time. on sunday my mother and i took the girls to the circus. abby had the best time. she jumped and danced and sang. it made me feel good because she was enjoying herself. there are moments when she can redeem herself and not be a donkey all the time. she just kept telling me she loved me followed by hugs and kisses and it made me feel good because i think now (shes 2) she understands what she is saying and understands what love means. audrey my oldest (shes 7) got a letter from the school saying they wanted to test her for being gifted. how cool is that? we have always tried to take to to the zoo and the aquarium and things of that nature and i guess its paid off. monday i start to go to work and i lock my keys in the car as i am pumping gas! i could have just kicked myself!!! i had to call the policy to help me out but besides being really late to work at least i didnt have to pay for it! never a dull moment thats for sure!!!

well my husband is working tomorrow night from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. friday night so i guess i will be at home watching the ball drop. i guess thats probably best anyway to keep out of trouble. my parents are watching the girls and my sister is coming over and we are going to paint some rooms in my house without worring about whose sicking fingers in what and so on. im a little excited because i have talked about doing it for a while but now im ready to get it done and get it over. now im just deciding what colors. last sunday it took me about 4 hours to get all toys put up in someones room and friday im taking the christmas down that way i wont be spending my whole weekend doing something i hate - and doing something i like like eating! haha well have a good new year! :)

i cant say im glad to be back at work because im not. i wish i was off like lots of other americans and to make it even better we usually dont get christmas eve off. the only reason we do this year is because christmas is on a saturday. if christmas was on a wednesday that would be the only day off. sucks i know but what do you do...cant fight the man...got bills to pay. :( my husbands mom has offered to send me to school so ive given myself a new years resolution early and am going to get all my debt paid in a year and leave this hell hole!!! well see....im going to do my best anyway. im ready to stop giving my money away in intrest when if i just had some self control early on and not think "credit was the adult thing to have" i would be able to quit now. oh well....just going to pray about it and i know my hearts desire will be granted if i stay where i need to be.

well its been almost two months since i have posted. i guess ive been kind of burned out on writing. i was never really good at keeping a diary. i started so many and then just gave up because i would get big time behind and then start forgetting things. well anyway....halloween has come and gone - thank goodness! dont get me wrong, we had a good time but its a lot of work to get two kids ready for just a few hours of fun but when you watch the tape and see their happiness its worth it. john and i have been taking audrey to auburn university football games. we are season ticket holders and she loves it. now thats its a good season john has been happier too but im glad its almost over becuase its a lot of driving, time and money. i really only go for the hot dogs. i know i know - its an expensive trip for a hot dog but theres nothing like a stadium hot dog.
yep - im hungry. :) well im out - ill write tomorrow.

well today is my birthday and i am 27. yeppie! i am meeting trina for lunch and we are going to eat my favorite food - mexican. being pregnant i might regret it but it sounds really good. yesterday i spent all day cleaning the house thinking i would get a day of rest but when i dropped audrey off at school there was a note on the board that they have open house tonight and i need to buy groceries. we were in auburn friday and saturday and my parents house saturday night and sunday so i got out of my routine. not only can i not sit on my butt tonight but i was late for work by 30 minutes and it is raining. when i get home im going to get my present so nothing can ruin my day!

well i would have never imagined it in a million years but we are pregnant again. i went to the doctor last week and they said i was almost 8 weeks. how exciting. she also said since my symptoms are so different from my two girls it could be a boy! :D i told john i dont care if its a boy, girl, dog, cat, alien WE ARE FINISHED!! it is exciting though and he needs a friend in the house. i think he is getting over - run with hair bows and fingernail polish ...hahaha :D
well that is all for now. i have to get back to work. :wink:

last week during some storms some lims fell on our roof. i took off 1/2 a day yesterday and john cut the grass and i weed-eated and dragged limbs to the road for the pick up crew to get. i was so glad we are not the most ghetto house in the neighborhood anymore. haha
friday i have to have some lab work done for my sugar level. its a drink (glucose) to check how you body levels out your sugar intake in a short period of time. pregnant women know what i am talking about...i failed two times during pregnancy and even after i had abby i tested positive for being a mild diabetic. i have been really really bad and not been back to get my check up and have been feeling really bad lately so i am going. my mother is going with me since i will be there for several hours. im not looking forward to this....maybe my mom will get me some ice cream or better yet if i fail and she feels bad for me maybe we can get mexican for a last meal before they hook me back up to a machine to prick my finger. :?

| finally |
| 07.08.04 (6:09 am) [edit] |
i finally get to sit down and drop a few lines. i was off last week from tues to tues and i was bored out of my mind but i would rather be bored at my house then bored at work. my parents and sister went to ohio to see my grandparents and i had no one to hang out with that was off with me. abby was so happy to be home with me though. she woke up happy every day and played and talked to me and audrey. we set up a pool for them to play in and they had a good time. abby only wanted to get her feet wet and when audrey would try to pour water on her she would spaz. it was funny. the only bad thing is that he mosquitos are horrible. you cant hardly go out side without getting bitten and poor abby - her bites swell up like quarters on her legs and they look horrible. john took audrey downtown to see the fire works they have every year on the 4th. they had some at the church the previous sunday and abby had a death grip on my neck so we decided it wasnt a good idea to take her.
when i came back to work my desk looked like a bomb had blown up! needless to say i was pissed and told my supervisor that i hated i am sitting by a dead-beat partner. i dont think she was happy with my comment but let me vent just the same and now im over it.
well let me get back to work!

well hope called me and asked if i wanted to eat since she was in the neighborhood and i said yes. we went to taco bell - cheap and good. at least the one by my work is. i cant wait for the weekend. i have so much house cleaning to do its embarassing.
i have a lot of problems with some of johns relatives and i try to not socialize if i dont have to but for some reason everyone came to our house saturday night. i was miserable. i love some of them and wish we could see more of them and some of the others i could do without. rules of visiting is : not to dress like a tramp when you are trying to teach your 7 year old that nice girls dont dress like that. his cousins wife just got her boobs done and let me tell ya - she doesnt mind showing them off. i cant stand that. her total outfit probably wasnt even 1 and 1/2 foot long. john and i were both embarassed because she kept bending over. let me tell ya - we didnt want to see her grand canyon or where the sun doesnt shine. but if her husband /johns cousin doesnt care that men hit on her and that she "lost" her wedding rings than more power to them. i couldnt live like that. she dresses in name brand while her kids look like they just came out of the thrift store. dont get me wrong there is nothing wrong with the thrift store but your kids should come first or at least mine do anyway. rule number 2: my house my rules. they have a son that is 5 and he is wild. audrey came running into the living room because he was in abbys crib jumping in and out of it (dont ask me how) and when i was putting abby to bed he snuck in her room and starting throwing toys at her. instead of his parents getting on to him they said " it was so sweet to give the crying baby some toys". she was crying because he was throwing at her HELLO!!! there was so much more i cant even type it all - needless to say i was glad they left. im glad johns an only child. some of his relatives are enough for me!

|
it was intresting...i heard that the son of sam (serial killer) was up for parole and declined the order. i started to look on the internet and found his website forgivenforlife.com. i couldnt believe he was saved. the Lord can even use him for good. he is an example of how Satan tried to use up and destroy a life and did for others but Jesus filled him with acceptance and love. he is so good to us. why do people chose to go through life tormented when there is a way to truly be happy with yourself and others. i dont get it, i mean people make themselves miserable and dont even see that there is hope out there. its a really good website if you want to check it out.

well i watched the funeral and i have to say it was very odd seeing the different military traditions and such. it was beautiful the respect that goes along with serving our country and respecting tradition. i went through the whole service fine but when nancy went and stroked the coffin and began speaking to her husband, her life that is now gone i lost it. i can admit it. it was very sad. how do you live with someone for 50 years and then all of a sudden they are gone? she looked so frail i wouldnt be suprised if she didnt follow soon but yet she seemed so strong with composure. not only did she have to sit through last night, she has to do it again on friday in the national cathedral and when the actually bury him in california. it hurt my heart to see her pain because in the end we will have to face the same type of loss so we all can relate.

well we are starting the first step on buying a house. all this paper work and stuff is a little intimidating but with the Lords help it will work out. my friend tammy and i went to lowes to look at stuff. i think i am going to paint one of the bathrooms like sponge bob. abby loves sponge bob and maybe that will help her to be confortable when we start potty training. hey - i know its a stretch but if it works thats the end of buying diapers for me. :D i am ready to get out of here. it seems like this day is dragging. wednesday night audreys is spending the night with her grandmother and then she is going to the beach thurs throught sunday with nan (her grandmother), nans friend and grandaughter that audrey is close to. i am really going to miss her. i am bothered about the 4 days just thinking about it. oh well.....im glad she is getting to go and she is really excited. who am i to not let her have a childhood memory. :wink:

im excited - my dad is going to buy me a stove this weekend. i find it funny that the older you get the more excited you get about drapes, pots and pans or new coasters. what happened to the times when you were younger and got excited about how much money you could spend on clothes, eating at the local restaurant/hang out spot or how many shoes you could buy. thats the difference in living at home and on your own. i think i liked the living at home better!! :lol:

well i was up last night helping john type invoices and mailing envelopes for his business he started a few months ago. he pecks at the keys and i cant stand it so i took over. he started at like 7 oclock and we finished at about 11. whew...i am sleepy today. my friend tammy and i are having a "suprise party" on the 12th. we have the best time when we throw one together. its funny how people go to different lenghts to keep their partner satisfied. i was telling a girl at church about the party and if she wanted to go. i dont think her husband was to keen on the idea and i told him - "its all adults, its all ladies that are married and its very private". you would think he would understand its to benefit him too but if he wants to be a fuddy-duddy then so be it. sex was not ment to be tacky and distasteful. God made marriage and sex. i think as long as you do things to spice things up for you and your life partner that God gave you (without going outside the lines of course) i dont see what the big deal is. sometimes things becomes taboo and then narrow-mindedness sets in. i hate that.

last night john and i watched paycheck with bennifer. dont waste your time...very cheesey ending. anyway we went to bed about 11:45. i set my alarm 30 minutes fast (i am too lazy for just 10 minutes) and the clock goes off at 6:15 this morning which really means 5:45. i jumped out of bed and didnt realize what time it was until i got in the kitchen and looked at the microwave. so i got about 5 1/2 hours sleep.
i hate when i do that. :?

im back - and feel fab! i came into work on thursday and the lady from the call center was at my desk and said "dont even sign on...abbys sick and you need to get her". so i turned right back around and drove back home to get my sick baby. she threw up until about 3:00 and then was good to go. i got my hair cut the way i like in that afternoon and started packing for memphis. friday i got the girls up and took them to meet my mom and sister at 9:00. i felt kind of bad but i love road trips so off they went. i got to tan and go home and start packing. john came home about 11:30 and we were off by 1:00....yippeee! we reached our destination of memphis, tn by 6:00 to the Heartbreak Hotel. i was very impressed...clean, nice and family oriented. there were people from everywhere to see graceland. we rode the shuttle bus to beal street and on the bus were some people from england, new york, wisconsin, michigan, you name it they were from there. beal street was amazing. it was full of music and life. we ate at the hard rock cafe and just kind of walked around and took in the sights. saturday we got up and ate breakfast and went on to graceland. it was CRAZY!!! there were people from germany,japan, everywhere dressed or talking like elvis. the house and sites were awsome. im not a huge elvis fan but i can appreciate historical things. i was really just suprised how small he really was, very tall and very thin. after that we went to the pool and caught some rays but then john started getting sick. by 2:30 he was throwing up too. all saturday night all we did was sit in the room which was fine. we left on sunday and went to elvis birthplace and it was very small. i would say it only took about 25 normal steps to walk from the front to the back. it was crazy.
i called my mother when we were closer in and she told me her and my dad and audrey all got sick too. i picked the girls up at 3:00 and as soon as they hit the door of the house it was like we never missed a beat. :D

maybe its just a stage - abby is 19 months old and everytime i see her she is taking off her diaper and running through the house. if i put her to bed and then go in later after she is asleep to take her bottle out she is usually stark naked and soaked because she has pee- pee'd. of course when i have to clean her up its my fault for waking her up. i have heard of babies doing it . audrey didnt but i have found whatever audrey didnt do she does so im really not suprised. who knows - maybe she is ready to be potty trained - yeppie!!! im tired of buying diapers anyway.

well its happened. i joked with grrlpink about working for a vacation and now i am going to get a small weekenkd get-a-way. john worked it out so we are going to stay at the "heartbreak hotel" for our anniversary. our anniversary is not until next month but this comming weekend was the only weekend they had open until august. you would think the way all the hotels are booked its the beach. he wants to visit Graceland - dont ask me why im just tagging along. all i care about is getting out of birmingham without kids. our last real vacation was to Gatlinburg and im not even going to admit how long ago that was. im excited - just wanted to share! :)

| not sure how i feel |
| 05.12.04 (7:58 am) [edit] |
im sure lots have either seen or heard the news about the 26 year old guy who was beheaded. i cant even describe how i feel about it. there was a picture on cnn.com that showed that the father had dropped on the ground when he heard what had happened and was weeping. what a terrible, gut-wrenching feeling.
they had stated on the news that the islamic people could not believe how embarassing it was for the soilders to strip the men in the prisons naked and take pictures. i dont agree with it but in turn was it mentioned that they probably blew up cars, set up suicide bombs or attacked others to even get there in the first place? do they think we like to see our soilders stripped, burned and carried down the street while they demonstrate? i cant decide where i stand now. if we pull out they will be mad like the first gulf war because we left them open for take over from other political parties but if we stay more will be lost. im afraid it has turned out to be a vietnam. if i ask johns cousins that have fought over there they feel its right. im just not sure......i need to do some soul searching.

well i hope all was well during the weekend. sunday john and the girls took me to applebees to eat. the hostess was talking about audrey and said "oh she looks just like you - oh my gosh - just like you....she is yours right." i can honestly say i was suprised. i almost said "no shes my sisters but were not telling her were out". maybe she would be as shocked at my response as i was at her comment. i said "of course shes mine" but seriously if your not sure what you are commenting on should you comment? that runs in line with someone has already had a baby and you ask when its due. we have all done it or at least i know i have. i guess you would think that way about a man with kids before a woman or at least i would - sterotypical - maybe but i like to think of it as realistic and in time with society. oh well...live and learn.
