Finally done
08.07.08 (8:19 pm)   [edit]
I am finally done...  Done unpacking (except for one box that's out in the garage that contains my craft working (which is going to stay on my desk in the garage). Done fixing up, done decorating, finally just done.  YAY YAY YAY!!!!!!!!!  My back is killing me, so my excitment is a bit more contained.  But nevertheless I am thrilled to finally be finished.  And I'm satisfied.  Now there are still things that Tim and I plan on doing but that will take time and money.  Like putting down new flooring throughout the house (this has carpet and we want hardwood because of the kids allergies and asthma), adding on another room or two, and a few other things.  But they'll have to wait, till probably next summer.  But as far as the minor things I'm done.  And I'm satisfied.  I'm happy, I think it looks good, and I love it.  It's our first home that we've owned (or at least we will as soon as it's paid for till then I guess it belongs to the bank. lol.) And I'm completely thrilled.  Now I'm going to go relax and rest my back.  And enjoy the fact that tomorrow I don't have anything to do, except for the normal day to day stuff... YAY YAY YAY!!!

Good Day
08.07.08 (11:29 am)   [edit]
Morning all. I took Bella to the doctor this morning and I have good news! She's doing much better, and for now (at least) she doesn't need to have tubes put into her ears. That's great! I'm very happy about that, because that means that she doesn't have to have surgery. Yes I know that it's a very minor surgery and the risks are minimal, but nevertheless, it still requires putting my 3 year old baby to sleep, and that I really didn't want. But her Dr. said that he didn't see any reason to have them done now so he canceled the appointment with the specialist for me and we were good to go. She did however have a small allergic reaction to a bee sting that she got yesterday. I noticed that her leg was leg yesterday after she got stung by a sweat bee, but when I gave her a bath last night I didn't really pay any attention to it. (It was late and I was just trying to get her to bed) But this morning her leg was still red and the bee sting spot had actually gotten larger and was a bit more swollen. So the Dr. wrote her out a prescription for it and said that I shouldn't worry cause the allergic reaction was small and shouldn't develop into anything more serious since she'll be on medicine. So I'm happy about that. I'm just happy that her ears are doing so much better. Now I'm off to try and get some of this work done around the house. Maybe I'll get it all done today and then tomorrow I can relax some.

Update to annoyed...
08.06.08 (8:21 pm)   [edit]
So I did talk to Tim (finally we really listened to eachother). It was only a 15 minute talk on the phone during his lunch break, but we were able to at least listen to eachother. He wasn't really mad or upset with me, but for some reason he sounded that way to me, even though he didn't mean to. And as far as last night whole ordeal, he said he was mad at what that guy said about me, but he didn't see any point in getting mad around me. He wanted to keep me from being upset, so he thought it would be best if he at least pretended to be calm. (It makes perfect sense.) SO, I completely misunderstood (as I tend to do), but at least we were able to clear it up before it turned into a big argument (as we have done in the past). So, all seems to be better now, and I'm happy for that.

annoyed
08.06.08 (2:25 pm)   [edit]
I'm trying to get everything done, and now I have to deal with a hateful ass. (Pardon my language, but I'm extremely upset.) Yes, I'm speaking of my husband, I love him, but nevertheless, he can be a hateful ass. I don't know what his problem is, but the past few times I've spoken to him on the phone he's sounded so hateful to me. And it does break me, because I can't stand for him to be like that with me. He says there's nothing wrong, but his tone with me says something totally different. And to top it all, my father and mother-in-laws have asked what Tim said after the next door neigbor called me a bitch yesterday. What was I suppossed to say? Umm, nothing. (That's the truth.) But I didn't want to say that, so I just said that he didn't really say much cause he was at work last night when I told him. My father-in-law however is more ticked off about it than my husband was. Wierd if you ask me, but that's just the mood Tim is in I guess. But it does hurt that some guy can call me a bitch and my husband doesn't even seem to care.... I don't know what's going on, I'm hurting and Tim is just the way he is. So what do I do. He'll call me on his lunch at 3, but I'm sure that wont go so easily.....

Past........
08.05.08 (11:24 pm)   [edit]
So I was sitting in the living room talking to Kim earlier about people who have hurt us.  And of course I shared with her a few of my past experiences, without really giving any major details....  I've been hurt time and time again.  By one person more than any others.  I'm not mentioning any names but I'm sure they'd know who they are.  I've trusted people, considered them to be a friend, and cared about them deeply only to have them hurt me over and over again.  The pain doesn't ever go away, especially when it's the person you truly trust who huirts you.  (No it's not Tim, he's great to me, this person is someone I once considered a great friend.)  Nevertheless, the pain hurts, and it still does.  I don't think I'll ever be able to trust this person that way again.  I'm not mad anymore, and in fact if I really needed this person they might even be by my side (that's a big might).  But I could never trust them again.  They've betrayed me, used me, and hurt me a few to many times.  I've cared about them, but not anymore.  They're no longer my friend, and I'm fine with that.  I just wish I could forget the friendship we had that way I wouldn't have to remember it from time to time and the pain wouldn't come hurting again. While the good times in the friendship were good, the bad times out way the good...And in the end I wish it all had never happened, or at least that I could forget that it did.........

Our new house!
08.04.08 (9:49 pm)   [edit]
Hi, so I know I haven't written in about two weeks, but I have been extremely exhausted...... I've been trying to get everything unpacked and fix all the "little" problems with our new house, and situaite things the way i want it. I've almost got it all done, I have a couple more boxes and my bedroom to organize and then I'm done. Except for repairing a few more holes that I found in the wall that the previous owners left there. But today I found that the floor of my cabinet in the kitchen below the sink is soaking wet. Now I can't tell where the leak is coming from. I've checked the pipes and none of them are wet. So I don't know. Tim will be in sometime after midnigt and he's going to look at it, maybe he can figure it out. I'm so tired, but at least I'm almost finished with everything. Thank God for that. Soon this house will be just the way I want it, and I'll finally be able to rest..... YAY!! Tim and I are thinking of taking the kids to the lake this weekend for a picnic and some fun at the park. Or we might go to the amusement park, just don't know yet. School starts ont he 18th, Ty automaticaly gets in, but Bella is on a waiting list. Since she's only 3 she goes on a waiting list until all the 4 year olds are placed, and then if there's an opening she'll get in. I should find out something in this coming week, but she's so excited I hope she gets in. She's already got her backpack, notebook, folder and all. She's excited and ready to go, she just can't wait. I do hope she gets to go, she saw Ty go all last year, and now she wants her turn. So we'll wait and see. All in all, we're all good. The kids are loving their big new yard, Tim and I just love having a house of our own, and I'm working my tail off trying to finish all the repairs while Tim works his tail off at his job. Oh, maybe one day the two of us can relax and just spend time together instead of busting our butts all day..... I'm gonna go to bed now, if I'm not too tired I'll try to post more tomorrow.... Goodnight.

Woohoo!!
07.29.08 (11:21 am)   [edit]
So, I finally have the internet hooked up in the house... Yay! It's been to long, (ok so only a few weeks, but still)... The house is beautiful, but it's a fixer upper. There are holes in the walls (i guess the previous owners liked to punch their fists through walls) the bathroom needs to be finished (they only did half of it, and a few other things that need to be done. I've already done half of the stuff that needed to be done, so I'll get there. I've still got a good amount of stuff to unpack that's out in the garage, but i'm getting it. I painted the kids room yesterday (it's an under the sea theme) and today I'm painting mine. I've already got one coat of paint on it and i'm waiting for it to dry. I'll have everything done soon, and then it'll be gourgeous.....

So the deed didn't get signed today, since it's going in my father-in-law's name, he had to be there. But he couldn't get off work in time to sign the papers so it'll be tomorrow morning before they get signed. Hopefully... The lady that's selling the house still has her things to come get (she didn't get to it today), but I think she's suppossed to come tomorrow after her Dr.'s appointment. I was going to take some things over tomorrow after Bella's Dr appoointment, but I don't think I'll be able to since Shawna (the seller) still may not have came to get her stuff. So we'll just have to wait and see. It looks like it may be the weekend before we get to start. Which would be fine, but Tim and I have some things to do Saturday, and I was trying to get some of this stuff moved so that him and his dad (who is going to help us move) didn't have as much to move this weekend.... Oh well, we'll wait and see what happens...

Good news, good news
07.16.08 (11:45 am)   [edit]
So I have good news, incase you didn't already know... lol... The papers for the new house are ready to be signed.. Yay!!!!! :) :)  So everyone is going to try to get together today to sign the deed over, and then the house is ours!!  Wohoo!!!  I'm so happy, I've got everything packed and ready to go, the only thing I have left to do, is to mop the floors.  I don't want to leave with all the floors looking really nasty.  Other than that, we are ready to go.......  I'm so happy.  Tim's hoping that we can start staying at our new house tonight that way he doesn't have an hour drive home from work when he gets off at midnight.  Instead it'll only be 10 minutes...  I hope, I've got everything ready to go just incase we do.  I'm not sure if the previous owners have ever came back and got their last load of things they had to get.  They were suppossed to be there Monday, but I'm not sure if they did.  I'm so happy now, but now comes the daunting task of unpacking.......... Oh well, it'll be in our new home.  Our own home that we own!!!  Our first house!!  Yay!!!!      When we do move I'll be without internet until they come out to hook it up, so I wont be on here for a few days, so we'll just wait and see what happens.........

my dream
07.15.08 (10:31 am)   [edit]
I refuse to believe that Dale and I are meant to be together rearldless of what any dream or spirit guide says. Okay what brought this on? A dream of course, actually 2 dreams to be matter of fact. 1st.)I'm planning for my upcoming wedding with the same dream that i used in real life. (This part is probably because I got my wedding dress out of the closet earlier today when i was finishing up the packing.) Anyways, that was the only thing that was the same as what had really happened in real life. The first change was the my car. In my dream it was a beautiful black corvette, when in actuallity at the time i had a used Ford Tempo. And the biggest change, I was getting married to Dale and it was Tim who was trying to stop the wedding a few weeks before the big day. 2nd.) I'm running through this cave like tunnel on the World of Warcraft game, I recieve a message from Dale saying that he thinks we can find each other without the assistance from the tracker and without any clues from one another. (I don't even know if he plays this game, I only play with Tim, but nevertheless, this is my dream). Dale says that he believes this because the spirit guide told him so. I replied back that i thought it was bogus. Then, just as I am about to walk around one of the many twists and turns in this never ending cave like tunnel, I decide to pull up the tracker and I see that he is on the other side about to make the same turn. So I turn around and run as fast as I can in the opposite direction. And then I woke up. So here I sit, refusing to believe what he said in the dream. "If you'd just open your eyes and your heart, to allow yourself to believe it, then you will see that it's our destiny." I don't believe it. I'm with the man of my destiny. But I wonder, have any of you ever had a dream that felt, so real,like someone was trying to talk to you through your dreams. It made you wonder when you woke up if that person had been having the same dream as you? That was me when I woke up. I couldn't help but wonder. The dream was so vivid, and I could just hear his voice speaking to me, even though I never actually saw him, just his dot on the tracker. His voice was so clear, I'd never mistake it. I don't beleieve that he is my destiny, I'm married to the man I'm meant to be with. But I can't help but wonder what I've always felt since the day I met Dale. And that is that somehow we share a connection. I don't know what, but I know it's there if I allow it to be. Nothing sexual or anything like that, just that we understand eachother (or we used to, when we were friends. Now we haven't spoken in over a year, and I'm not moving to change that. I'm better off without him, I know.) But my point is, when we were friends, he understood me better than anyone (or so i thought) and no matter what I do or how much I try to erase the past, I can't forget that. Especially when I seem to be reminded over and over about that fact in my dreams.....

God's A ngels
07.14.08 (10:11 pm)   [edit]
I am currently thanking God for al of the angels he has watching over my family. Earlier today while Bella was in the tub Ty decided to make teh same mistake that I did when I was his age. What? He took a hair pen and stuck it in an electrical outlet. Whic caused sparks to fly out from the outlet in turn burning him, and of course terrifying the life out of my pour 4 year old son. Thank God the breaker shut off as soon as the sparks began to fly keeping things from getting any worse, and of course thank God that Ty only had a minor burn on his thumb and except for the fact that he is still terrified 7 hours after the fact, you'd never know it happened. Me on the other hand, I swear these children will be the death of me. Everytime they do something like this (nothing ever this bad, but I think you know what I mean) I feel like my heart could just stop. I love my kids more than anything in life and more than life it's self, but I do think it's very possible that one day they may kill me. All in all though, we're all okay, Thank God we all suvived another day. Oh, my brother called a bit ago, him and his soon to be wife, Katrina, want Ty as a ringbearer, and Bella as a flower girl in their upcoming wedding on August 16th. Oh I bet they'll be so cute....

And so the packing continues...
07.09.08 (9:23 am)   [edit]

Another day of packing, yet again.  Truth be told, I'm so tired of packing that I just wish it was already over with.  While I am still excited to be moving into our new house, I do believe that the excitement is starting to wear off.  I'm so tired, (I'm not used to beginning my day at 5:00 with only a few hours of sleep as I have the past two days.)  I twisted my already damaged knee yesterday carring boxes of things up stairs.  (I'm storing the packed boxes in the upstairs spare bedroom.)  It's hurting and everytime I move a certain way I can feel it twisting again.   What I would really like to do is to crawl into bed and take a nice LONG nap.  But unfortunatly I can't do that.  These boxes obviously will not pack themsleves, so I must do it, while trying to keep my kids under control.  My boy has been trying to help me pack (he wants to hurry and get this done so we can move), but as any one with kids knows, a 4 year old doesn't really do much help no matter how hard they try, their just more getting in the way.  And i feel so sorry for him, cause when i tell him to go play he gets upset and starts saying that he just wants to help.  So i'm trying to find him jobs that he can do, while I try not to go crazy trying to figure out what i'm doing with what.   God I wish Tim was home, but unfortunatly he's at work (been there since 15 till 7:00) and wont get home till about 15 after 9:00 tonight.    Oh, I'm going crazy, I just want to get this finished so i can sleep, but it seems like everytime i think i'm about finished i find something else to pack that i've forgotten.  I did manage to get the kitchen packed this morning, except for a few dishes that i may need the next few days, the food (obviously) and then the pantry, because i forgot it.  So i have to go finish it.  The kids' bedroom is complete (yay!)  My bedroom is almost finished (i just like a few things) the living room has a few nicknaks that need to be packed, the upstairs bath has a few towls and things that i need to pack, so really the only things i have left is the upstairs hall closet and the downstairs coat closet.  So maybe i can finish this today so i can sleep tomorrow.  (I only dream!)  However tomorrow is my baby girl's birthday, so i'll be making cupcakes tomorrow.  We're having her party on Sunday (somewhere in the middle of trying to move), but she's so excited about it. 

Well anyways, i gotta get back to work.  The kids are starting to fight over a toy and i need to finish this packing.  Bye for now!

Oh, and it's still early.
07.08.08 (8:41 am)   [edit]

Another day of packing already underway.  I've been up since 5:00 cause i had to get Tim up for work, and since I was already awake when he left, I figured I'd start packing.  Now it's 8:30, and I have gotten a lot accomplished over the last 3 hours.  But there are still a lot of things left to do.  But i'm taking a break so i can sit here and write this post.

 So anyways, my daughter and i both went to the doctor yesterday.  It was a good news, bad news thing at the doctors.  Bad news first, she still has her ear infections, and we are now on our 3rd dose of antibiotics.  They tried to do a hearing test but she wasn't very cooperative, so they said that the only way to make sure about what to do from here is to send her to a specialist.  If she has fluid built up then the specialist will most likely want to put tubes in her ears, which will hopefully restore any hearing that she may have lost, if she has lost any.  So in the meantime we take the antibiotics and wait till the 8th of August to see the specialist.

 On the good news front, my gynocologist did the ultrasound yesterday and everything came back good.  The cyst on my ovary was gone except for a small partical (which she said was normal), the infection in my uterus and cervix was gone and the scarring was almost completly healed.  Thank God!  It's because of all of this that i believe is the cause of the early miscarraige i had around this time last year.  (That and the stress, but we wont talk about the stress).  At the time i didn't even know i was pregnant.  The doctor said that that's normal, she said a lot of times women don't even realize they've had a miscarraige since they never knew they were pregnant, they just think it's a late and very heavy period.  Which is what i thought at first.  But she said that now that everything is cleared up i shouldn't have any problem concieving or carrying the baby to term.  YAY!!!! 

 I am so happy about that, and so is Tim.  We're going to wait till we get moved into our new home before we start trying, that way I don't end up pregnant and trying to move.  Even though it would still be very early, he doesn't want to take any chances after what happened with my son.  I was 5 months pregnant with him when we moved and about two weeks after we moved i went into premature labor.  Now while it wasn't because i moved (cause i didn't do anything except pack, and my cervix was smaller than it should have been and the doctor didn't tell me the previous month) the added stress of moving didn't help any.  So Tim wants to be extra careful this time as we were with my daughter.  When i got pregnant with her, we were so scared that every little thing we were calling the doctor about and Tim wouldn't hardly let me move afraid that i'd go into premature labor with her as well.  But i didn't , Thank God, she was a perfect pregnancy, not a single problem, except for the constant morning sickness that lasted all day and well into my second trimester and the really bad heartburn.  LOL...  So i'm praying that when i do get pregnant that this pregnancy will be as easy as my last. 

Well, I guess this is enough for now, I've got to get back to packing, we're wanting to get at least some of this stuff moved in this week, assuming the papers are signed this week (which they should be).  And unfortunatly these boxes aren't going to pack themselves.  Bye for now!

my weekend
07.06.08 (2:50 pm)   [edit]

So i spent the weekend house sitting for my mother-in-law, and have been without internet all weekend..  Can u say boring?  It really was, there wasn't much to do, and without the internet (especially of a night) it got quite boring.   However, i wouldn't say last night was boring, because i spent much of last night fighting with Tim.  Why? I have no idea.  He came home and was playing with me, and then the next minute he was mad and yelling.  I have no idea why, and to be honest he says he doesn't know why either.  But i do know that last night was probably about the worst it has been.  He was yelling in my face (which he never does), and while i was yelling back, it was from another room.  And then when i began having panic and anxiety attacks, instead of calming down and comforting me he began yelling again.  He said that it was my fault because i would take what he had just said and throw it back in his face which would make him mad again.  And i admit that i did do just that, but it's because he would say stupid crap that would hurt me, like accusing me of faking a panic attack.  When he says things that hurt me i can't let them go, i have to say it right back to him right then, i can't just keep it in till we're both calm, so that then we could calmly talk about it as he has suggested that i do.  I just can't do it.  But nevertheless, that still didn't give him the right to yell in my face when he knows i'm having a panic attack, knowing that doing so only makes it worse.   

However, around 11:00 last night, after about 4-5 hours of fighting, we finally calmed down, talked and were able to settle things.  It's just that our arguments are getting worse (especially his part.)  And i'll be honest it scares me because i know how his dad is towards his mom.  And honestly if i was her, i'm not sure if i could have lasted for the last 27 years as she has done.  I couldn't handle my husband getting mad at me for no reason, yelling, calling me names, belittling me, and all the other crap that she has endured.  She's a lot tougher woman than i am to have withstood all that for so many years.  And when Tim got the way he did last night for no reason I saw part of his dad in him, and that scares me, because i know that i can't do that.  My panic attacks last night were the worst that i had ever experienced that i really thought it would kill me, and that proves to me that i can't handle living like that.  And it was just one night.  One really bad night. 

We settled things, and we both agreed that we would try to change, try to fight better.  (Yes i know that sounds crazy, but I"m sure you know what i mean).  He's got a longer ways to go than i do, but I love him, and i know he'll try, because i know no matter what he loves me.  It's just hard to see it sometimes when he gets so angry, and even though he's not physically hurting me, last night i felt like he might as well have.  Cause the whole time the only thing i wanted was my husband to hold me through my panic attack, and and instead i got an angry man yelling in my face.

So we'll try, and try again.  Things are better today, we're trying.  That's all we really can do i guess....  And to think, our 5th anniversary was just the other day.....

5 years!
07.03.08 (4:07 pm)   [edit]

So i'm happy.  Today is mine and Tim's 5th wedding anniversary.   Unfortunatley he is working, but he's coming home a few hours early and he's off tomorrow!!!  Yay!!  We're house sitting for his parents this weekend, and my parents will have the kids tomorrow night, so it will be nice to finally have some alone time!!!  Yay!!! 

 

We're suppossed to be moving to our new house next weekend, so i've been really busy trying to get everything packed up and cleaned.  I'm almost done, i've still got 3 rooms to go, and I"ve ran out of boxes.  My brother has some extra boxes that he's bringing by in the morning so that i can finish packing before we leave to drop this kids off at my moms.  I'd like to get almost everything finished tomorrow, because next week i'll be gone most of the week taking care of errands.  And I'm hoping to also get a few things moved during the week so that Tim doesn't have as much to move next weekend. 

 

But anyways, i'm exhausted.  I've been working since i got out of the bed at 7:00 this morning, and i am finally grateful for the few minutes that i have now to just sit down.  I feel as if my body could just fall apart that's how tired i am.  But after tomorrow morning, i wont be doing anything else the rest of the weekend except relaxing.  Thank God!

sad update
06.30.08 (8:36 pm)   [edit]

So, I’m not pregnant. I know the thought that I could be pregnant just occurred to me last night but I’m sad. I got my hopes up, hoping that I was pregnant. And now, I know that I’m not. So I am a bit sad. I think I may be a bit more sorry for Tim than I am for myself, it was him who thought that I could be pregnant first. I think he may have gotten his hopes up more than I did. Cause I knew in all reality that it was just one time I was sick from a smell, it didn’t necessarily mean anything. Nevertheless, it the pain of diminished hopes still hurts.

But I know it’s not the end of the world. I have to stay positive, and I’ll just stick with the plan. Go back to my Gynecologist on Monday, everything will come back good, move on the weekend, get settled in to our new home, and then Tim and I can start trying. And hopefully it wont be hard for us to get pregnant. And I pray that when I do, it will be an easy pregnancy and not a high risk like my son. I’m staying positive, everything will work out eventually! And while I’m sad that I’m not pregnant at this time, hopefully I will be within the next month.

But I’m tired, I’ve spent all day packing up, I’ve got a total of 3 rooms done now, and I’m exhausted. I’ve gotta get back up in the morning and do it all again. So I’m gonna log off for the night, and try to relax a bit before going to bed.

Good News!
06.30.08 (1:30 pm)   [edit]

So a lot occurred this weekend, and all of it good. Saturday Tim’s dad called and said that he needed to talk to the two of us. So he came by the house, we had lunch, and he discussed with us his plan about the house that he’s helping us to buy. Baisically it boils down to the fact that since the payments are a bit too much for us to afford all at once right now then he is going to pay about 1/3 of the monthly payments for the 7 years until it’s payed off and he’s putting down the down payment. Then we will repay him back what he paid in monthly payments and the down payment over the course of another 7 years. So all in all, after 14 years we wont owe another thing on our new home. J That’s awesome!

So they are signing the papers next Monday, cause the loan officer is on vacation this week, and then we can move in any time after that. So we’re planning on moving in the following weekend, which also happens to be the same day that we’re having my little girl’s b-day party. So Tim and his dad are going to be moving all the stuff while his mom and I get things ready for the party, and then in the afternoon the guys will take a break and we’ll have her party!!

In other news, there is a small chance that I might be pregnant. Last night I had layed down around 8:30, and about 10:00 the phone rang and it woke me up. Well I could smell what the lady next door was cooking. It smelled like something with teriyaki, well anyways, it made me extremely nauseous. Then when Tim got home he said he couldn’t even smell it, but yet I still could. I haven’t been nauseous from a smell since I was pregnant with my daughter, and Tim really believes that I am. We had planned to wait until I went back to the doctor next week for the ultrasound on my cervix before we started trying. But sometimes things just don’t happen as it’s planned. So I’m very hopeful, I want this so much, but I know if I am then I have to take very good care of myself. I’ve been taking folic acid for several weeks now, the doctor put me on that the last time I saw her, and I’ve started eating healthier. I’m gonna get a pregnancy test later this week to see if I am. In the mean time, I’m trying to pack things and get ready for the move, but at the same time trying not to over work myself in case I am pregnant.

Anyways, it’s about time for me to get back to packing, if we’re gonna move next weekend that really only leaves this week to pack because I’ll be gone almost all of next week. So there’s a lot of work to get done, and I guess I better get back to it….

Bye bye for now!

I'm Exhausted
06.26.08 (5:25 pm)   [edit]

Okay, so I’m sitting here on the bed, it’s 15 minutes after 5 and I’m exhausted and a bit aggravated. I love my children, I truly do. And I know I’m not the best mother, I just hope that I am a good one. But today my kids have absolutely pushed all the wrong buttons and I am just completely stressed. I have been trying all day to get them to do one thing, pick up the toys off of their bedroom floor. And instead, now there are more toys on the floor than when they started this morning. They have destroyed my bathroom, and just absolutely ignored everything I have had to say all day. And every time I put them in time out it only seems to work for a few minutes and then they are right back to their mischievous ways. Normally all I have to do is tell my son that he can’t play his video games and he’ll do what he’s supposed to do, but not today. Today he has chosen to ignore the fact that he can’t play video games. AHHH…. So now I sit here writing this blog while they are in their rooms sitting on their beds (once again in trouble) and all the toys still on the floor. I’m tired. Very tired. And today is has been one of those days to where I just need a nice cup of cocoa, a long hot bath, a good friend, and then a nice bed to crawl into. Unfortunatly all my “good friends” and I have lost touch over the last few years except for one, and even then her and I still aren’t as close as we used to be. My best friend is my husband. And I would love to spend the evening talking to him, but unfortunately he doesn’t get off work until midnight. So I guess after the kids are asleep I’ll have a bath and cocoa, and then curl up in bed with a nice book and go to sleep. (Hopefully it’ll be that easy, although I’m not holding my breath…

A bit annoyed
06.26.08 (12:52 pm)   [edit]

Okay, so i'm a bit annoyed.  I have been saying since last week that my mother-in-law & father-in-law needed to let Tim and me know how much our new payments were going to be since they changed banks for the loan and if we were going to have to pay any upfront fees, because we would need to borrow the money for the up front fees.  Well i get a call about an hour ago from my mother in law who informed me that she needed $217 from Tim and me for the appraisal fees (so the guy can do another appraisal, since the previous bank wouldn't foward the appraisal to this bank) today or tomorrow.  I do not have the money and i still don't know how much our new payments are going to be.  And of course I told my mother in law that i didn't have the money.  So I talked to hubby and i'm going to one of those payday advance places tomorrow afternoon to get the money so that i can give it to her.  I hate having to scramble to get money together, and my husband and i already owe enough.  I'm gratful to my in laws for helping us out, but mind you they are getting something out of this as well.  They are getting the property and the garage, Tim and I are only getting the house.  And the property is the only thing that is getting appraised, not the house.  (i'm not sure why)  And I did ask them to let us know in advance so that we could get some money together.  So i'm a bit annoyed that i'm only finding out now that she wanted us to pay this when she's known about the fee all week.  But oh well, what can i do, nothing.  And i'm starting to believe what my husband is saying, and it's that this place is starting to look like it might be more trouble than it's worth, and we're only going to dig ourselves into an even deeper whole.  Tim and I have said to my in laws that if it's too much for them then don't even bother trying to get it.  But now it looks like it might be too much for us.....  And no i don't know what our part of the payments are....  Maybe i'll find out soon....

It's only 10
06.26.08 (10:16 am)   [edit]

I'm exhausted and it's only 10 o'clock.   I've been awake since 5:30 this morning because for some reason, (and only God knows why) my two wonderful preschoolers decided that they needed to get up at that time and play.  Actually they were already awake and playing at that time.  They woke me up from the toys crashing into one another.  Now see this has become a habbit with my children and i'm not sure why.  It seems like lately i'm lucky if i get to sleep until 6:00.  They've got decent bed times, infact they were getting up early so my husband and i moved their bedtimes back an hour last month hoping that they would sleep later.  And for the first week they did, but now their back to getting up before 5:30.    Oh well, i don't know what else to do.   

So after getting hubby's breakfast done, fixing his lunch, and getting him off to work i decided to work on packing up the kids winter clothes which were stored in the guest bedroom.  After that i packed up the rest of the stuff in the closet, the things on the walls and shelves, then proceded to washing the walls down and scrubbing the floors with a clorox solution.  (I love my clorox solution, I use it on almost everything!  :) )  So now i'm sitting here tired and exhausted contemplating what to do next.  I'm trying to go through everything to see what we're taking to our new home and what we're not.  Cause I know, everything we have will not fit into our new house. 

So I'm trying to figure out what to sell in a yard sell, what to keep, and what to throw away.  My brother called this morning and asked if i'd give him the guest bed and comforters as a wedding gift to him and his fiance (they're getting married in August).  And of course i told him yes, I don't need them anymore, and i'd rather give it to him than to sell it anyways.  So i've got some more work to do.  I'm not even sure when we're moving, I know my father-in-law (the loan is going in his name) and the guy that selling it have to sign the papers either by Friday or wait until July 7 because the lady handling the loan will be on Vacation after friday.   My mother-in-law was hoping we'd be able to move in by July 3 cause she's leaving for Michigan that day.  And my brother said he'd help me move that weekend if we were able to, but I'm not sure that it'll be able to happen.   However, I would love it if it did.  I'm ready to finally be in a home that's all mine. One that I don't have to answer to anyone if I want to do something, and a huge yard for my kids to play.  I"m excited incase you couldn't tell.  Excited and exhausted.  More later!

My Dream

MY DREAM

06-25-08

Ok, so last night I had another wild dream. I went to bed around 10:00 last night and I never anticipated the dream that would insue. So I don’t remember how the dream started out, but I do remember at Zack started sending me emails, instant, & text messages. The messages said how much he missed what we had, and how he was sorry for the past. He continued telling me that I was the best thing for him, and that I belonged with him rather than Tim. Then he began trying to convince me that we should meet up somewhere. And somehow, although I don’t remember how or when, he must have because the next thing I know it’s early morning (must have been somewhere around 4 or 5 o’clock because it was still dark out) and I was driving around trying to find the spot where we were going to meet.

That’s when I woke up, just in time to here Tim coming in through the front door. I was so glad he was home, but when he came upstairs I didn’t tell him about the dream. Why? Because I’m afraid that if he knows that I keep having these reoccurring dreams that involve Zack that he might start to think that I still have some kind of feelings for Zack. And that’s simply not true. I have no feelings (good or bad) towards him anymore. I don’t care one way or another anymore. And I don’t want Tim to think otherwise. I just don’t understand why I keep having dreams to where Zack tells me the same thing, over and over again. I mean it doesn’t make any sense to me.

And when I finally went back to sleep (it took me a while cause I didn’t want to have that dream again) I still ended up havning another dream, almost identical to this one. I don’t remember all the details, but I remember being in the car looking for Zack. These dreams are not making any sense to me, and I don’t know why I keep having them. I just wish they would stop. I wish I could just sleep peacefully without Zack appearing in my dreams. I want to dream about my husband and kids, not about someone I used to hate.

Cautiously excited!!
06.24.08 (11:47 am)   [edit]
So my mother in law (love her heart) has been desperatly trying to help Tim and I get that house next to her.  So she went through another bank, hoping to get help with the down payment.  And she found out yesterday that she got approved for the loan but still has to come up with 7Grand down.  Now that's still quite a bit when you don't have any at all, but it's less than what the other bank wanted her to put down.  So now she's working on getting the down payment.  She thinks she can do it, and i hope she can.  Tim and I are excited.  She wants us to move in as soon as possible.   She's going out of town next thursday (mine & tim's anniversary) and she wanted us to be moved in by then, but i don't see that possible.  But if we try hard then we can be moved in by the time she gets back on Sunday.  My brother said he'd help me moved on next Friday while Tim is working.  And if we do it like we've done before we can have it done by Saturday afternoon.  So i'm completely excstatic.  But cautiously as well.  The luck i have is that when i'm wanting something really bad, somehow, someway it always falls through.  So i'm keeping my fingers crossed.  My mother-in-law wants it mostly for my kids so that they have a yard to play in.  (And boy is it a big one!)  I want it for them to.  Right now where we live all they have is a sidewalk and a parking lot.  Not a very safe place for children to play.  So I'm crossing my fingers and toes, and praying that everything works out for us.  I want this house so bad, it's smaller than our two-story townhouse, but it's a place of our own.  Where we don't have to answer to anyone, one where our kids can run and play and be kids.   God, I hope this works out for us!!

I want to make sure he knows.
06.19.08 (8:01 pm)   [edit]

So today has been a pretty good day. I got the kids to bed early without a fight (yay!!). Lately the kids and I have been fighting every night at bedtime. I try to get them down and they fight me the whole way. It takes me hours to get them down. But tonight they’re asleep and I have a few hours to myself to work on my new book. But I’m not getting much work accomplished instead I’ve been easily distracted. Tim has been working a lot (16 hours a day), and it’s not his choice, but because he has to so that we can get caught back up on all our bills. Every time we think that we’re getting straightened back out, something else comes up and we’re right back were we started. And for any one reading this who has a spouse working like this, you know what I’m talking about when I say that all these long hours take a toll on a marriage. We have no time together, except for the weekend (which he spends one day playing air soft (like paintball) with his friends. And while I don’t care, I know he needs time out that doesn’t involve work, it means that he spends less time with me.) and we don’t talk except for the fifteen minutes twice a day on the phone. He gets home after midnight while I’m asleep, and then gets up at 8:00 heads out to work at 8:45 and the cycle begins all over again. So I think I’m finally feeling the pinch because I just miss my husband, and I’m starting to feel like something is missing. We’re wanting to start trying to get pregnant next month (assuming that once my gyno does the ultrasound everything comes back good… I’ve had some problems), and while I have my heart set on having another baby, I am afraid that by doing so it will put an even more strain on our marriage. We have a strong marriage, and have survived a lot in our 8 years together 5 of those legally married. (A year to the day before our wedding, we had a ceremony just between the two of us where we said our vows. I was only 17 at the time, but I knew that he was the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with..) And this is nothing like we’ve been through before, we’ve been through so much worse. We’ll get through this as we always do, but nevertheless, it’s still hard. I hate that he has to work so much.

I could go back to work, and I’ve offered to do so, but Tim doesn’t really want me to, he wants me home with our kids. And to be honest, that’s where I want to be. Some stay at home moms may take for granted the joy that they get to stay home with their kids everyday. But I don’t. I know the sacrafice that my husband makes everyday so that I can stay home here with the kids. Before we had kids we were both working. And then about 2 months in to my first pregnancy I had to quit my job because of complications. And Tim said that it was for the best, and we decided together that I would stay home. At first it was easy, but over the years, we’ve accumulated more bills, as most couples do. So I thank him everyday for working as hard as he does so that I can stay home with our wonderful children and work on pursuing my writing career. However, I am looking into going back to school this fall to pursue my other dream (to be a preschool teacher). And once again Tim supports me whole heartedly. He is the most wonderful man I know, he’s supporting, loving, a wonderful husband and dad. Our kids miss him so much, and I’m sure you see why I do too… I hope he truly knows how much the kids and I love him for the things he does for us….

Song i love
06.19.08 (7:13 pm)   [edit]

So yesterday I heard this song by Mandy Moore that I absolutely love, I can’t seem to get enough of it… It seems to establish the way I feel and the dream I had last night regarding Zack. He’s said before that we were just the same, but I’m nothing like him. I could never do those things that he has done. And I will be okay, I’m already making progress. And he’s fading away, to nothing that he is. He means nothing to me anymore, he is nothing.

And as for the dream last night, I like to believe that it’s just my way of searching for the truth. The truth I’ll never know, but I can live with that now. I’ll be okay with that. He can try to hide the evidence of what he did, but soon it will come back to him. I forgive him for what he did and for hiding it, or at least I’m trying to. But it doesn’t change what he did. Maybe one day he’ll find the peace that I’m searching to find. For me, forgiveness is the gateway to that peacefulness. I’m trying really hard to forgive him, I don’t want to walk around harboring hate and anger towards him anymore. And I wont! I’ve let it go, and now I’m in the process of forgiveness.

So anyways, this song just to me, just sums up the way I’ve been thinking and feeling. It’s got a great beat, and the lyrics are meaningful to me. I love it. So I thought I’d share it with you.

 

Song: Nothing That You Are

Artist: Mandy Moore

Album: Wild Hope

Somebody told me, they saw you somewhere
Somebody hold me, cause suddenly I'm a little, cold
Well I must be mistaken, you for somebody else
I know you all to well, or do I?

[Chorus:]
I heard you say
We were one and the same
Well wrong again
I could never do those things you did to me
I will be ok
In time you'll fade
Into the nothing that you are
The nothing you are

I heard you sayWe were one and the sameWell wrong againI could never do those things you did to meI will be okIn time you'll fadeInto the nothing that you areThe nothing you are

[Verse]
Somebody sold me, yeah the same old story
Yea yeah, yea yeah
Hadn't you told me, you were there the whole time

Somebody sold me, yeah the same old storyYea yeah, yea yeahHadn't you told me, you were there the whole time

Yea yeah, yea yeah
Well I must be mistaken, you for somebody else
I hope you burn in hell, or do I?

[Chorus]

[Verse]
I know your mistakes will hunt you down, eventually
You'll know that when you hit the ground
Your weakness did you in, and delt me out
It's ok, I have the truth on my side

I know your mistakes will hunt you down, eventuallyYou'll know that when you hit the groundYour weakness did you in, and delt me outIt's ok, I have the truth on my side

I heard you say
We were one and the same
We'll wrong again
I could never do those things, you, did, to me
I will be ok
In time you'll fade
Into nothing that you are
The nothing you are [x4]
