Halloween Time

Kids had a good time dressing up and trick or treating yesterday....Took them rollerskating Friday night to Fright Night they had a bunch of monsters there putting on a show it was pretty awsome I must say.....

Football Day

Well Hiya everyone!! I turned 40 on Friday, I dont really feel older then I did on Thursday. Just here to post a few pics of Saturdays sporting event at our home field. If you can see the field that is our new turf at the highschool its very very nice.





Thought I would toss in a picture of Jesse being Silly since he is not the sport type of guy more of computer type of guy and of course paintballing!!!!!
Was just looking at Jay's myspace page and well he had a silly pic of him and maddi and myself one day at her cheer practice thought I would let you all enjoy the fun also

Love,Sports,Rollerskating?????

Hey all been a few weeks since I have posted, been not so busy though. Working about 18 hours a week still, went out job hunting yesterday hoping for a call back for anything soon. We have a new Mexican place opening up here in town soon, that would be awsome if I could get a job there. But on to my post...

Well Maddi is a very busy little girl, with her dance and cheerleading, she also wants to sign up for gymnastics but its not in my budget at this time, but hopefully soon I will be able to let her sign up!! 2021 Oplympics here we come!!!!


We had our homecoming parade this past Thursday, and it was her first she had alot of fun then when I went to rescue her from her float, I ran into our old neighbor and well the mother of Maddi's future husband as he puts it. He has been in love with her since they were 3. You know most kids kinda forget about this kind of stuff well not BB, he tells everyone that Maddi is his GF and they will be married. Of course me and Shanda are like sure love is in the air!!! So introducing our Homecoming Queen and King in like ummm 10 years!!!!! Maddi and BB!!!!



Tonight I took Maddi and Jesse to a little skating party, we dont get to do alot and well it was only 1.00 to get in and they also got bracelets to get in free on Friday night. Jess wouldnt let me take any pics of him skating so I got one of Maddi...

Well I hope all is well, Miss and Love ya all!!!!

3 Weeks Down Months to GOOOO

Hiya, well its been a few weeks since I have posted besides my fulltime job, and trying to find another job, taking care of my mother in the evenings and my kids. Life hasnt got any easier around here lately.

So its been 3 weeks since my mothers accident, I must say things are a tad easier cause she can get around a bit with her walker, but she still needs help bathing, preparing food all the essentials in life we all take for granted everyday. I guess its a small sacrafice to pay, even though each night I go to bed I wish this would have happened to me and not her, I still feel very guilty for the accident even though she has tried to convince me no matter what that it would have happened eventually. Yesterday was my stepfathers bday, so I went up and did a little house work and helped her get ready and we had a little party for him. My sister got the pizza and the cake and we had a little celebration.

Maddi's dance recital was a week ago this past sunday, she did very well on that big stage in front of all those people. Her grandparents from NY came down to attend the function as well as my mother making an appearence in her wheelchair. I am posting 1 picture, waiting for my step father to email me the rest from his camera. A picture of 3 little sad orphans for your enjoyment.
In order left to right is Maddi, Gracie and Sarabeth

Last subject about my pets, you know I love my animals my son found a small kitten the other day and of course bring him home. So we have dubbed him with the name of MJ we use to have a cat named Munch a few years back, and this little guy is marked just like him so we gave him the name MJ aka (Munch Junior)
And on to Googie you know my little peekawawa...we were laying in bed last night and well I glanced over at him and he was all nice and comfortable on his side of the bed and well I could not help but take a quick snapshot of his snoozing away like a little person, ya ok he is my little man. LOL

Life UPside Down

Well its been awhile since I have posted, cause life is upside down right now for me and my family. I am hoping in the next few weeks things will turn around and start getting better. I have job interview Monday at a Lawfirm in Cincy, I am hoping that it works out and I can secure that job. It will help with financial things around here, waiting tables lately just hasnt been cutting the mustard.

All the kids and myself I believe are finally healthy, it was a rough few weeks there with all of sick at different times. My mother was in an accident on Tuesday and broke her ankle, (broke isnt really the word for it) she has been in the hospital for 3 days now, she is getting to come home today (Friday). I was there when it happened so I havent got much sleep cause when I close my eyes I replay the accident over and over in my mind, guess trying to figure out if anything what we could have done differently or maybe tryin to find reason not to blame myself for the accident. My heart weighs a ton right now cause I do feel like it was my fault if I hadnt asked her to ride, she might not have ridden that day. Yes she was trying to mount her horse so we could go riding and he got spooked and took off. Just typing about it makes me upset so I will stop. But good news she is coming home today, bad news she will be on IV antibiotics for about 4 weeks so she will have to have a home nurse come in and help take care of her. I will be spending my evenings over there also helping care for her and make sure she gets dinner and things that she needs done.

Maddi is signed up for cheerleading I believe I posted about that but I do have a few pics of her in her uniform and her dance recital is this coming weekend so I have a few pics of her all dressed up.

They finish up school on Monday but it will just be a fun day and they get out early so today was actually their last day of school I have a few pics of the boys excited about that.



Signing off for now must head to my mom's house to get ready for her to come home. Until next post you take care and I love ya all...

Long Time no See

Well I havent been very good at posting lately, due to everyone being sick and just well honestly not felt like doing much of anything. Sorry your sick Ash hugs and Kisses to you and G. Hope all is well elsewhere in the world with you all. I hope Chunkster is finally feeling better and big hugs and kisses to you all. Will get caught up on post and pictures this week I hope if not for sure by next week.

Flu in Warm Weather

Swine flu NOT but I believe I met death or least that is what it feels like to this day. Today is my first day out of bed in a week and well it hasnt went so well. This will be short and sweet, I am alive barley, I cant wait to start feeling better so I can at least enjoy a hot shower. My doctor has put me off work for another few days till I recover 100% Ugh but honestly there is no way in this world I could serve food or even walk around for more then about 5 mins before out of breath and having to sit down due dizziness. I hope Gage gets well soon and Ashley's niece recovers from her infection. Love you guys

Not Me Monday

Well the couple that follow my blog you know we all read MyCharmingkids.net. Well today I found this on her post so thought I would also do a not me Monday.


Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

Whats new on Tuesday

Well its Tuesday right about 8:30 am I am debating on getting in the shower, yes it is suppose to be my day off but well its not. I have to take Jess to the eye doctor to have his contacts checked then I am off to work for a few hours to cover a vacation shift. I worked a double both saturday and sunday, and I can say my feet are going to fall off.

I dont recall much of my weekend unless it had to do with biscuits and gravy and just right down mean and rude people, I swear I dont think I have ever been rude to a server or mean, we are all people and everyone makes mistakes. The people that come into eat where I work think they are just above everyone else and honestly it just pisses me off. If I ever win the lottery I will go to work for one last day and just tell them all where they can take their breakfast and themselves with a BIG smile on my face. Guess I should start buyin a lottery ticket if I want that dream to come true eh?

The kids are fine James went to KI and Jesse went to his bestfriends game and bday party, Maddi played all weekend in the neighborhood and got a little bit of a sunburn. She is FarmerMaddi right now cause of her tan lines. We have a uniform swap next week for her cheerleading outfit I pray I can find one that will fit her to save me some of the 150.00 it will cost me to buy it all new. But all in all I am just tired and dont get a real day off till next monday :(.

Oh another sour note, its been up into the high 80s and 90s the last few day and guess what my central air doesnt work. I have spoken to my landlords many times and I still have no air, I am going to go off very soon if it doesnt get fixed. Today its suppose to rain and be a tad cooler so I hope that relaxes me some cause I havent slept in my bed in 2 days and I am grumpy. We have all been sleeping downstairs in the family room where it is a tad cooler with the fan.

Well I am off to shower and do my daily round of chores and stuff. Love ya all..


A fast PSSSSS Stellan is Home Free YAY...I hope he does well on the flight home and his family can make it thru the road they will be traveling for the next few years.

What a busy day!!

Well this morning when we got up I had to take the kids to the denist, now that was a fun journey. Maddi was first in the chair for her teeth cleaning and well what they found wasnt nice, she had 2 cavities so she got moved to a different chair to get those taken care of today. James was 2nd to go in the chair amazingly enough he didnt have any cavities but he had to move to the other chair also for sealants for his teeth. Jess was 3rd to go and YAY perfect nothing but a nice cleaning to shine up his teeth.


Then it was out to grab a bite to eat before school, but never looking at the clock it took over 2 hours at the denist so by the time I got them all fed, it was actually to late to take them to school so basically they all got to play hooky today with a Dr.s note. The entire time this morning Maddi was bugging me to get her hair cut so I finally said fine lets do that while we are out too, except Jess just got his hair cut last week when I took him to get his eyebrows done. So we dropped him off at the house so he could take a little nap and I took James and Maddi to get their haircut.

Well I must say we are on day 4 of contacts and he is doing awsome, he is getting better about getting them in and out. I am so proud of him and I knew he would suceed at this he always does when he puts his mind to something. He goes on Tuesday to get checked, and then we are good to go.



Posting a few pics of no glasses, new haircuts, enjoy your day its beautiful here today so we are going to do some yard work...

Not so Wordless

Well today is Wed's and well Meg always post wordless pics and of course I steal them and save them to my computer cause my screen saver is all my pics of friends and kids and family.

Today is our 3rd day of contacts and he is doing ok, takes him sometime to get them in and out but he is doing it alone and they are working well for him. He goes back Tuesday morning to get his eye sight checked and make sure he is seeing properly. Then if all is well I will order contacts for him its going to cost me about 200.00 a year I normally pay about 150 a year for his glasses so its not that much more then what it would cost for him to have glasses.



Tomorrow is a denist check up for all 3 kids at 9 am I hope that they dont have any cavities or anything like that. But nothing like taken all 3 kids to the denist with no breakfast in their tummies. LOL...So we will have to stop for food afterwards cause god forbid they go to school and wait for lunch.

Well Maddi shouldn't have much to worry about she barely has any teeth!!!


So the little pic's of Chunkster Gage are just so adorable I cant wait to see them all again, I am hoping to make a drive down the 3rd week of June and see everyone for a long weekend. Maddi's dance recital is on June 14th so I am hopen I can find someone to work for me the following weekend also. But I will keep you up to date on that might actually be August since Kollin will be there in July and I know you all are very busy while he is in town.


I also had just went back thru some old post and geeze I forgot to take Maddi's bday pics to get developed so I am going to take them tomorrow so I can get some of em posted.

Stellan

As of about 3 hours ago Stellan was taken into surgery, refreshing his mothers blog for any updates and getting nothing. Praying that Stellan makes it thru this surgery and the MckFamily can reunite and continue on their journey together in life with all their children healthy and safe.

But reading these post everyday several times aday, makes me thankful for what I have 3 healthy children, loving mother,sisters, friends I wouldnt trade for the world. I love you all more then life itself.

Sisters

Yesterday when I got home from work, I always get on the computer and check on Stellan and check my email. I had a message on myspace which I dont use very often, from my sister. A sister I have never really met, I remember her as a baby when she was first born but that was the last time I had seen her. My sperm-donor aka father, left my mother for her mother, so there was alot of hate going on in my home that consumed my mother and father and her mother. She made a comment in her email that how could one man help create such beautiful children and just walk away. I never have really worried about my father or his actions, I have always felt he is the one missing out on my life all my sisters life and my brother and of course all of our children. To sum up my siblings my oldest is Scott, then comes Loreen, then Barb, then myself then Amanda and finally Kim. I knew Scott growing up he was raised by our grandparents, Loreen I met in 1977 for the first time she was placed up for adoption as a baby, Barb and I were raised together, Amanda and Kim were raised together never knowing about Barb and myself. See my sperm donor was married a few times and 2 kids from those marriages. My understanding is that Brenda..Amanda and Kim's mother spoke of Scott and Loreen but never of myself and Barb. My sperm donors new wife Becky was also unaware of our existance in this world and that him and my mother were never married. So that kinda pisses my mother off since she spent that money on divorcing him, but that is the past as of yesterday my two long lost sister may become apart of my life. They have children I have niece's and nephews my kids have more cousins all kinds of things going on in my brain. Could we create a new family out of the one our sperm donor created for us? What is so amazing is that we only live about 2 hours apart, how could I just sit here and not desire to go and see them, hug them. Wow I am an older sister, I have never had that feeling really cause Barb and Loreen were older then I, I am was the baby till now. Now Kim holds that title in this long line of Wages's kids. Or could there be more of us? Could he had donated to strangers we dont know about? So to sum up this post Excited, Nervous,Pissed,and I guess all the other emotions one could feel in a spot like this. I want to meet my sisters, I want to know them, I want to love them. Posting a couple pictures first one is of Kim I believe, other is of Amanda and her boys.

Contacts and KI

Well today was one of Jesse's many visits to the eye store to learn how to put contacts in and take them out...It will be a rough venture I am sure cause well he honestly cant see right in front of him. He was only allowed to wear them for 2 hours today so when it was time to take them out we had some issues with his left eye, he didnt feel the contact and I couldnt see it so I was of course flipping out thinking we have only had the contacts for 2 hours and we have now lost one. Well it was in his eye and we finally got it out after a big blow up between us. I dont know if he is responsible enough to have contacts or not, I dont know if I will continue on this venture with him or not. We will just wait and see I went out to Walgreens and bought him a magnafied mirror so he can sit at the kitchen table and take them out and put them in, I hope that works.

On to other subjects, I am posting a picture of Jesse on Diamond Back the new rollercoaster at Kings Island, from my understanding he was the only one brave enough to tempt the new coaster and well he is proud of that adventure. He is my no fear one...

First Day at KI

Well tomorrow is opening day and the boys are all here and waiting for the morning time so they can get to Kings Island and ride the new ride Diamond Back...This has been a long week with the boys driving me insane about going and getting their Season passes made. We finally made it up there yesterday and well the line was kinda long but it did move very quickly. I am going to get up at 6 am and make them all a decent breakfast so they can have some food in their bellies before they spend 10 hours at KI. They have done extra chores for extra money and just all getting excited over the day of adventure they are going to have tomorrow.

Love in many ways

First off going to start with reading Stellans Story, well as of today he is on his way to Boston for his heart surgery, I wish him and his family all the luck in the world and hope that he comes home saftely. She is a strong woman to be able to handle all she has plus keep us all up to date on what is going on so to the MckFamily, I wish you love, support and hope for Stellans safe recovery. Also I am kinda figuring out how to add links but my added links are at the bottom of my blog page. So scroll down and look please

On to more love, well you know about my lil dog "Googie", the other day I was here at my computer playing my game for a bit, and he kept wanting up on my lap, so I brought him up and he climbed up on my desk and just made hisself at home so I got a shot of him watching me play WoW. I had always wanted a little lap puppy and well I finally got the perfect companion for my lap.
