The craziness that has become our lives

Wow! is all i have to say. Its been crazy around here. Not only with work and the boys school but also the  and still fostering macy the prego momma. She had 6 beautiful babies and they were pretty good pups except for bear..he was #1 and he came out making noise and was very noisy alot ..for example if they were playing and one did something he would scream, he screamed when he got shots, when they were finally able to go outside, we would take 3 out a time he screamed even tho he had two siblings with him. It was getting annoying and as everyone was getting adopted he wasnt, but finally he was the last to go..and seemed to go to an outstanding family. Thank heavens!The rescue i work with if anyone is interested in saving a life is  http://newenglandallbreedrescue.org they are amazing. they also transport,   you can find available dogs and pups thru petfinder, search under rescue and also on petango, and search under rescue. We also could use fosters. 

In other news, May 2 my angel girl wouldve been 16. its been along time.Seems so unreal how time flies by but you still get stuck in those/ that moment. But as god took an angel from me she sent an angel down to my sister as my nephew was born on her birthday so now we have two angels to celebrate!

In late may i was gearing up for my big trip ....i was headed out to michigan to see my baby R graduate from high school. First it was going to be a family trip then just me and the boys then  a family then me and the boys and it went on like this for awhile as the hubs didnt know if he was going to work. Finally he had to work so the boys and i headed out for a  long drive as we didnt know if i was going to make the drive in one full day.especially with the kids.The drive wasnt too bad, made it to the half way mark around two and got to michigan at 9. we only had a short time, i was there from the 6-11. as i gave myself leeway for the drive issue before i actually made the drive, i couldve left the 12 but didnt want to chance it. It was a great time, i spent alot of time with my baby, and he spent time with his brothers and then we spent time with the family and then came the big day Sunday June 10th. Such an accomplishment and so happy and grateful and proud of my boy. and he looked so handsome. just mere weeks before i was getting pics from the prom ( his first one) he asked his date in such a romantic creative way, ( he gets it from me) and they looked gorgeous that nite, i would hope he had a good time because hes not really a dancer but he said he had an amazing time :D He is very smitten over this girl. it was funny at graduation that she came over to get pics with him and he was going to go over and get pics with her family ...which they did. His dad and I actually got along, i think he finally gets it or doesnt care because R will be 18 in october.  We took him from graduation and did dinner on my side since some people were going to be leaving to head back home and i was leaving the next day. then he got a text and just as i said "how come you didnt introduce me to anna?" she said the same thing, so we met up later that evening, i really like her they are both quiet and seem to get along great. shes very polite very athletic and shes special to him. BE STILL MY FREAKIN HEART, HES MY BABY FOR GOODNESS SAKES!.

Also we went to the cemetery while i was there, as i hadnt been in 6.5 yrs ( since my mom died) and it was fine except there was no way to mark her, so one day i went with the three boys and they all brought a rock and i made a handmade stick cross then i went shopping and made a plaque with her name its wooden and has her name etc, i got a mini flag pole and a flag with butterflies as i have a butterfly tattoo for her, a moon and star wind chime and then a small turtle and frog statues, it came out nice and hopefully it will stay the only thing i couldnt do was find a garden stake of any sort to put the plaque on to put it into the ground instead of having it just rest. i was given lots of compliments on it. its the only way to mark her if anyone does go and see her. and the amazing thing i knew right where she was the moment i pulled in. even tho more people have been placed it was like a beacon...or maybe just a mom thing. I didnt cry when i had the boys with me R was surprised but the younger kids didnt really get it. The day i went and placed everything i almost cried and laid with her and wished beyond words that id never had to leave her there, wishing i could bring her with me.But sadly it isnt so.

it seems like my trip flew by which it did and it was to short of a time to be with my baby. his school plans are up in the air but hopefully he will come out here for a period of time.

E is off to 4th grade this year and we are keeping M in kindergarten because hes such a young five. he turned 5 three days before school started, he enjoyed it but also he would get overwhelmed too.  

well thats all i have for now in life updates hope this finds everyone happy healthy and enjoying their summer!

More about me

So yesterday i started out by telling you a bit about me, today i will continue..kind of reading back makes me see im sort of boring but oh well.

I love to read , i mean love it. My love for reading started in kindergarten when i had a book reading contest. For that contest i had to read books to someone, i chose my nanny. i read 500 books and won. my love has continued on. I belong to two book clubs, and i also buy books. We recently moved to the east coast, and before we moved from the west coast we had a garage sale. that didnt go so well but i had 10 boxes of books that we had out, all arranged by author and the ones that are series were all together, and only about 5 books were sold. I went thru and kept what i wanted and the rest i donated to the local library. Where we lived they rarely got new books and if they did it was like one copy. SO LAME! Some recent things ive read are : return to sullivan's island( its set in south carolina ), the entire twilight series( yes i know im behind on this but i truly had no desire to read it or fall into the hype, vamps arent my thing BUT my sister karen said if i didnt shed end me lol) and for the record im a team jake! i loved the whole series, the characters and their backstories. I love reading debbie macomber and mary higgins clark and carol higgins clark. im huge into romances, love stories, mysteries and thrillers. i love autobiogrophies of celebrities or the royal family, or even biography of the old hollywood stars. i mean its history its right up my ally.

i also love movies, but dont get to see to many adult ones,( and NO not Porn!) get your mind out of the gutter! Some recent ones over the past few months i have seen are: the proposal, couples retreat, the hangover, brothers ( great flick, hard to watch, because if your married to a former military member or have a sibling as one you can see what ptsd is for real and how hard it is) , the blind side, public enemies and also ive seen a kids one called " how to train a dragon" that is a fanastic movie! i cant wait to own it! i also want to get the two toy story movies for my younger boys they have never watched it. We also watched the princess and the frog.

I also love to write, i used to write alot wether it be journals, poems, stories etc but i got out of it once i had some major real life moments, some of those include having more kids, my mother dieing unexpectedly( more later on this) then my grandma a year later, then hubs coming home for good(yay! no more seperation due to the military) and a big move from coast to coast. Hopefully i will get back into it one day.

I love being a mom, its perhaps one of the best things ive ever done or had the privilage to do. I am the mom of 3 boys, similar in some aspects but different in others. I had a daughter that passed at birth( more on this later)I want one more child and be done, whether its boy or girl, but thats the deal i made with the hubs to have one more. Im hoping i will get a red haired green eyed girl. I mean im not getting any younger, but who is right? My boys have been the light in my life and have made me strive to be better want more and stay strong for them,even when i think some stuff is way too much to handle. but im there mom and id never give a day back for everything in the world. They are my entire life. dont get me wrong i have a life outside of kids etc but you get what im saying.

alright enough on me today check back for more tomorrow!
