getting caught up....short and sweet

ok so i have been off here for a long time. we came back to Tn. on the 20th of november and I am so happy to be home. We moved into an Apt in the city and it is about 100 sqr foot bigger than the house. which i love. I dont love that its upstairs but ill get over it. Anyway we are settling in nicely. Only a few things left to get to make it all nice and homely. The kids are in school and doing great. I hate having to move them again but they dont seem to mind. Well im going to go for now so......Blog at you later.

Great news and my birthday coming up

OK so got the great news today. Dale got the apt and signed the lease. Yahhh, well sort of anyway. Not thrilled that it is an apt but at least we are back in Tn. Hating that it is in the city also. But what can you do. Anyway on to other things. The kids are doing great in school and looking forward to being with their daddy again. As am I. Well not looking forward to being with my daddy but with my husband. Ha ha ha. I miss him so much. It seems like the time is flying by so fast. I feel like it has only been a couple of days when really its been like a couple of weeks. I know it will only go faster now that I really have something to look forward to. I was teasing DJ today and told him that i was going to leave him hear and just take Elyssa and he said cool. I know it wont last long he will wont to be home with us in no time. Not that there is any chance that i would leave him here. I would miss him way to much. Anyway on to other things.

There are three more days until my birthday. I wish I could be home with my husband and my friends and family in Tn for my birthday but that's not going to happen. Oh well doesn't really matter anyway I am only turning 31 its not like its a major birthday or anything. Plus i can always have a late party when i do get back. I just wish i could be back in time to see New Moon with Michelle Ryan and Dale. Let hope. Keep those fingers crossed.

well i have to go there are other people waiting to use the computers so....
that's all for now. Blog at you later.

Playing catch up

Ok so i know it has been a while since i last blogged but i have been really busy with the kids and halloween and eveything going on with dale down in Tn. So let me catch you up on my life.

First of all we had a great Halloween. The kids had tons of fun. Elyssa was a rock star and dj was a skelaton. Well really more like a scarry man in a skelaton mask that you would not want to run into in a dark ally. but i went with what i could afford at the time so there ya go. We went down to visit with Melissa for the week of Halloween because my cousin does not celebrate and the kids really wanted to trick or treat. So she let me use her extra car since Melissa lives only an hour and a half away.

On to other things. Dale is still down in Tn trying to get us a place to live in so we can be together as a family again. this has been one of the most trying times in our marriage. by far not the longest we have been apart but i think dale may go crazy soon. The kids and I do miss him but we are coping fine. He on the other hand is going stir crazy not having us there when he comes home after work. I miss him so much and cant wait to see him again. From what i understand he has found a place in Clarksville for us to be in but has not moved in just yet. I think it is right down the road from ryan if i am right, but dont quote me on it. Anyway we are planning to come back down there when the kids go on christmas vacation if we get the place.

Well that is all for now so i am going to go. Blog at you later.

house cleaning habbits

ok so i know im not the most perfect house keeper but i can say at least that i have formed some great habbits having michelle as a friend. i get up in the morning and clean up my area and put the bed away and clean up the kids room but my cousin on the other hand is a clean freak. her house gets just a couple of things out of place and she acts like world is going to end. her husband is even worse. sometimes i think i would much rather be living with michelle. at least she understands that kids are not the most cleanest things in the world and just handles the situation in stride. I love you michelle. On the other hand my cousins husband freaks out when the boys dont make the bed right when they wake up or when they mess up the room while playing. Now dont get me wrong i am very greatful for them letting us stay here whilw we get situatedand i understand that people have their quarks but dang lighten up on the kids already. thats why they are kids. they need to have fun.

anyway i am going to go for now. blog at you later.

the smallest parade ever

ok so it is almost halloween and the small town we are in is having a parade. we thought it would be long and the kids would be tired and worn out by the end and go right to bed. The parade was suppose to start aty 630 but didnt start until five min later whoich was fine. I thought it would at least be half an hour to an hour long but it was littrally 15 mins. it consisted of two bands a float and a bunch of kids dressed up. dont get me wrong it was cute but very small. the kids had fun running around and they got a little bit of candy. Anyway they are in bed now and i am headed that way so......

thats all for now. blog at you later.

a nice day

well we had a great day today. the kids played outside for most of the day after being cooped up in trhe house all day yestersay. it rained so much that the creek next to the house became a river. it was crazy. anyway we all got a nice dose of sunshine. it was nice.

thatsall for tonight. blog at you later.

Getting all caught up

ok so let me get you all caaught up on our crazy lives lately.
As you know our kitchen caught on fire causing us to have to leave. Then we stayed with my good friend michelle for a little over a week. While we were ther we found a really nice house that was only 50 dollars more a month but it turns out that she wanted 1800 dollars up front and we did not have it so we decided to try and move down close to my father-in-law and dale would stay in tennessee and work a little longer and save some money. I was not happy about it but figured it was for the best and said fine. As we were headed down to north carolina we were talking to my father-in-law on the phone and he proceded to tell me that the only way he would help is if i got a job. He doesnt seem to understand that me getting a job is taking away from my children and im not willing to do that. Dont get me wrong i understand that there r woman out there that choose to work or have to work due to their situation but i dont have to so i choose not to. Anyway due to that we decided to go to my cousins house instead.
So here we are for now and we are praying hard that Dale finds us a big enough house very soon.
Meamwhile I got the kids enrolled in school and thay are both doing very well. Djs class does this thing where the go to school in the morning and do their math work and then theu spend the rest of the day outside learing about nature and things. the school feels that being outside helps the kids be able to absorb their lessons better. personally i think its a great idea. Anything that helps dj like school and learn at the same time is a great thing.
elyssa has a male teacher for the first time and he is really sweet. elyssa ofcourse made a ton of friends her first day and is already teachers pet. I love how she just jumps right in like she has been there all her life.
Anyway i am going to get off here now because i am doing this from my phone and it is killing my hands.

so thats ll for now. Blog at you latet.
