weekends over already

Wow it does not seem that it should be Monday already but I guess it is. Time to start another week back at school. Well, I want to tell you a little about my life daily and a few different things. So 1st off I get up or Nick doe sat 7am and Braxton has to be at school before 8am. So after we drop him off most of the time we go back to bed and sleep till almost 10am. Then we are up he goes to work I get kids up and fed and all that good stuff and when its about 1pm Brooke is ready for a nap, a nap girl you just got up (and no I am not complaining cause my babies sleep but is this normal, cause lately I am feeling really bad about it) anyways we have to pick Braxton up at 230pm, so after that we all come home and it is nap time. We then get up do supper they play then it is bath and bedtime again. Ok so did you see where we just pretty much sleep all the time. Well, I know it is me but I have been to the dr and they found nothing worng. So if you have any suggest please let me know. So our weekend was good. Friday we did nothing but enjoyed time with Nicks mom and my daddy, then Saturday I have looking forward to for a long time. We went to the Nashville State Fairgrounds flea market and oh my I had missed it so much, I use to go every month but its been almost a year since we have been. I got the cutest new wallet, I will try and post pics of it soon. And I was looking at purses but man I really dont need one. Well, after that we took the kids to Nicks dads house cause the boys wanted to spend the night so me and Nick went to the races. Got home after 10pm I know and I could not sleep. So, I took some meds that make me sleep and boy did it work, I woke up at 10am this morning when Nick was leaving for work I ate a pop tart and cereal then layed back down and nect thing I know is that is was 5PM and Nick was coming home for lunch. WAIT A MINUTE I slept all day, yep thats correct. So it is 11pm right now and guess what I am WIDE awake. So, hopefully I will get some sleep after. So so my whole thing is I want to be a normal everyday family. I feel like we are not normal I sleep Nick works all the time and sleeps when he can then there are the kids just kinda out there. I am sitting here crying cause I am so upset I feel like a bad mommy. So, right now I said a prayer to JESUS and I am changing not only for myself but for my family. We will always have cooked meals and not as much eating out, I will play with my kids and enjoy them and I am going to clean I want my house to be clean all the time. Its not now days if anyone wants to come over they cant cause I have to clean 1st. I mean is this normal I dont feel like it. I am loneing for a girl friend I call and tell every little thing too, and who does the same to me and we get together at least once a week just because we are best friends I am really need this. Well, I have the bestest friend ever reading this and I know u are the bestest friend ever and I am hoping that we can get closer. Well, now I have let all my emotions out on here I guess I am going to try and get some sleep. Goodnight and I hope that everyone has a wonderful and blessed work week

I love this man

more and more everyday.......

Praise the lord.... We all got up really early so yep it is 7 pm and Brooke asleep and the boys are laying down watching a movie. So here I am laying in the bed blogging. but soon to be sleeping or I am hapopy to just be relaxing. So I think that tonight is Big BRother and I cant wait but if I fall asleep I have it on dvr so will watch it tomorrow. We have done nothing today we got up got ready and took Braxton to school and he is doing so great and I am super happy. Well, then we came back home and did nothing at all. I watching Labor pains, it was a good movie. Well, I think Nick is working late tonight so he can get some overtime. So glad I am going to bed early. Well, as of now my mom and step dad trying to work things out I guess. Nick is off tomorrow. YAY....
So he has been talking alot about filing and we have to soon cause we are almost 3 months behind on my truck so will have to look at getting something new soon. but he keeps telling me that he wants too but has to grow the balls to tell his daddy. So I have dont said anything but ok sometime soon would be nice this is getting old. Well, I guess I will just have to wait. Well, boys just said tv messed up so gotta go fix it. Have a great night and a wonderful Friday.....

So I am guessing everything that I am going thru right now is only making me a stronger person and also a better wife mommy and just a better person in general. Well, 1st off I think our money problems are getting better but we will see how things go for here. Kids are doing good which is so awesome for us. Braxton still loving school and I am super excited. Brennon is been headache free for at least a whole week maybe longer than that. So we are praising the Lord everyday because we stop and think about what could have happen with him having headaches.
Brooklyn is ONE and getting so big. Last Saturday we had her 1st birthday party and it went great but I am so so happy that Traci and her babies came. I am so lucky to have a friend like her. Brooke got alot of clothes which she really needed for winter. She is still not walking just army crawling but she will soon I hope. I am do a post later for her being one. Right now I just wanna play catch up. Well, we are going to tell Nicks dad that he needs to buy the house from us so we can go file and if he doesnt we are going to file anyways. Me and Nick just need to do this for us and the kids and right now that is all that matters. So please pray for us. Well, we were eating at Cracker Barrrel tonight and I got a phone call from my mom, well her and my stepdad had gotten into a fight and he told her to leave... So she was going to stay in a hotel I said no way you are coming to stay with us. So she is here. I love my mommy more than anything and I am so blessed that I could be here for her right now when she needs me the most because she is always there for me and the my kids when we need her. Well, I am going to bed have to get up and clean carpets tomorrows. so fun fun stuff plus got to watch sheets on our and the kids bed. I am going to cook a big supper for mommy tomorrow night I hope. Well, goodnight and hope everyone has a great rest of the week

Man how life can be so so hard sometimes

Growing up is all I can say. I guess this is part of growing up. Well, I am just asking you to pray for me and my family as we are going thru hard times right now. I really wish I could turn back time and make all this go away and I would for real never ever done all that we have done again it is not worth it. I mean I am hurting today for my kids, cause they are also hurting from Nick and myselfs mistakes. and this is why I would change it if I could. But I cant thats not how life works. I did it yeah and learn from it now I want to move on.

ok WAIT I didn not cheat on Nick nor did he cheat on me. I know that is how is sounds but thats not it at all.

Ok now that I got that out of the way I can finish, well I just read what I had already wrote and took a little break and I feel like I just need to talk about everything so here it goes.

Me and Nick lived in a huge 3800 square foot house and had everything.... Nice cars, kids had everything and you get the point. Yes we made really good money well, one day that really good money was no longer there. So there we were in a huge house paying 1200 dollars a month, plus everything else. So once we had no money coming in then we had to move out cause we were 3 months behind and soon the bank was fixing to take it. So here we are a family of 5 no income and how you going to find something else when you have no income so we moved in with Nicks mom, and stayed for several months until we got jobs and money to get on our feet again. Well the whole time Nicks dad took over payments of our other house cause he built it and had so much money in it didnt just want the bank to take it. Well, a year later we are even worse. Fixing to lose my truck and doing good to pay bills. So needless to say very hard times. Well Nicks dad has once again talked Nick out of doing anything but running from all this debt and it is getting old. I mean I want more for my kids. Well, I am really done talking about it.

So thats where we have been just laying low. Well, my baby is 1 and her 1st birthday party is tomorrow. Seems like yesterday I was going into early labor and so worried...

Well, tonight we might to a a cousin baseball game the boys enjoy going. Then we have to get things ready for the party tomorrow. In the morning I am hoping to just go pick up the cake then head to Nicks dads place. So I am really hoping for a happy happy day. Well, I am off to try and clean the house some. And then cook supper hopefully Nick will be here around 5 and not have to work to late. but who knows.....

Here is Brennon and Brooklyn at Nashville Shores waiting in line to get something to drink

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROOKLYN RENEE

YEP THATS RIGHT MY BABY GIRL IS 1 TODAY, AND I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT. WELL WE STARTED OFF THE DAY EARLY AND YEAH SHE STARTED IT OFF WITH COME CAKE. SHE HAD TO GO AHEAD AND DO IT CAUSE NICK HAD TO WORK. I DONT THINK SHE WAS UPSET AT ALL SHE ENJOYED IT. AS YOU CAN SHE THE PRINCESS GOT A PINK CAKE. WELL NOW SHE IS TAKING HER NAP SO IT IS MY TURN TO GET SOME CLEANING DONE BUT I HAVE ALOT MORE PICTURES AND I WILL POST THEM LATER TONIGHT, YESTERDAY WE WENT TO NASHVILLE SHORES AND HAD A BLAST.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL, MOMMY LOVES YOU SO SO MUCH...........

busy busy

Busy busy is what we will be the nest several days. So things have been really calm just taking Braxton to school then picking him up and then back home to hang out. So, and now well Braxton only has school one more day and then he gets a 3 day weekend. Friday they are out of school and Braxton is super happy. So, all day tomorrow we are getting things ready for another yard sale yeah I know but man I have to get all this stuff out of my garage. So, after this sale I will be taking what I have left to the Goodwill. So, Friday morning we will do yard sale and we are planning on after lunch stopping yard sale and doing some family fun cause Nick has been off.... So, I am really looking forward to these next couple days.... So, the health of my kids is getting better and I am thinking the Lord everyday for this. Brooklyn is getting over the 5th disease rash finally going away and the staph is almost gone but she is still on meds and we will finish them and hopefully she will be good after this. Brennon had no headaches today and I am very happy, so I am hoping that the med is starting to work and help him now. Braxton is great and really liking school or so it seems like it to me. Well, now on to me, I went to the dr today and I had blood work done so waiting on it to come back and hopefully we cant find out some answers to why I am feeling like this. So I am nervous but I am ready to fix what ever is wrong. Nick is laying beside me and finally sleeping he went to work with his dad and when he got home around 6 he felt awful and it only got worse as the night went one. So I think he is getting sick which really sucks cause he really does not take being sick well cause he is really never sick. So we will see how he does when he gets up in the morning. I am praying he gets a good night sleep.
So great news.... The boys have had a twin size bed but it really was not big enough for both of them and plus they never want to sleep upstairs so me and Nick always let them just let them sleep in the floor of our room. So we got a full size bed and we finally got it put up in the room and I went and bought a new sheet so we got home and I took them both up there. And I told them no crying no yelling for mommy and no getting up unless you have to potty. yall are big boys now so from now on u both are sleeping in ur own room, so I came to my bed and when I woke up they both were sleeping upstairs and man was I one happy mama. So again tonight we are doing great and I am really loving this. So Nick alsleep and I have two boxers sleeping on me so I guess it is my turn. Goodnight...

for real one thing after another

Ok, for real I guess everything that goes on with my kids gives me something to always blog about, but I would really love just to be able to tell you about our day and what all we did, but that doesnt seem to be working that way. So here it is. Brooklyn finally getting over the rash (5th disease), so Saturday around 5pm we took the kids to Nicks dads house so when we left everyone was good, well I picked them up Sunday and we went to see Nicks mom since we were in Woodbury, and so I was outside talking to my brother and April, and Brooke was down with Grammy in her house. So it was getting late so we were getting ready to leave so I go to her house she asked me if I had seen this place on Brookes leg and I said yeah she kinda has a diaper rash and the dr saw it and just said destin would help it. No this place was on her leg and I looked at it and as soon as I seen it I knew what it was. Yeah my family has staph.... And sure enough Brooke has got it now. Nick had surgery on his shoulder a year ago and this is how he got it then a little later Brennon got it and now a year later Brooke has got it. So 1st thing this morning after taking Braxton to school I call the dr knowing that our normal dr was on vacation, so I was like ok we just to be seen by anyone. And yep that is what my baby has, so the doc cut it open and drained it. Yes it was so so painful for her. I have seen this done to Nick several times and man I wanted to cry seeing it happen to him so here I was holding my princess down and it being done to her, so this was so so hard for me to do. Anyways after that he told me what I needed to do and called in her some meds. So, after this I went and got BRaxton from school and we had to take Nicks mom (Grammy) to Clarksville to a friends house that had alot of things for her since her house fire. So we went and came back and I met her friend for the 1st time and she was the nicest lady ever, she was so awesome and I dont guess she has any kids so she has 2 dogs and they are her kids. They have a bedroom and everything she works from home and on the side soes alot of monogrammed so you got I am going to get things together so she can monogram them and I am suoer excited... I will post pics later.. of the things I get done. Brennon seems to be being some better but still having headaches so we are really hoping theses meds stop them for good. Braxton has been to school and doing good, some mornings he wants to cry when I drop him but he is all good. And is so happy when we pick him up everyday. So a have exciting news Nick is off till Sunday, yep thats right does not go back to work for 5 days and I am so happy. Braxton is out of school Friday for inservice so we are going to have a family day and go do something. Well, I guess that is about it. We got a full size bed for the boys so I am really hoping they start sleeping upstairs in the big bed, right now both of them are laying in our floor on thier bed. I guess that is better than them being in the bed with us like Braxton use to be. So thats a plus. So, now for real I am done. Prayer request...
Traci she is home and hopfully doing good there I have not talked to her in a few days.
My grandmother was in the hospital over the weekend and is now in a rehab center so pray she gets healed fast...
For my family and money I guess not just my family but almost everybodys now days.........
GoodNight and and a Blessed Tuesday.....
