Epic Day/Wedding Party/oh Weekend/IwasYourHappyEverAfter..Too Late

After Much consideration I am ready to share that yesterday was a epic day...maybe not EPIC EPIC...but it was pretty epic for me. I registered for college classes at Rhodes. Does it mean I'm gonna be going...no..it means I have the intentions to going...as long as financially we can do it...I would like to... for some strange crazy reason I qualify for part of the Pell Grant. I don't know whether to thank my Stu  for being another dependent and making us eligible.. or Mr Obama?.wanting USA to pay for everyone's college....I'm reluctant to share this and put it out there b.c. I don't know if I really will be able to attend or not... but I'm hoping all of this will work out...

UPDATE ON SCHOOL:..... I'm thinking it will be put on hold for now.. I will revisit this in a year when some funds have freed up. Although I am awarded some of the pell grant it just isn't doable right now... money and time...wish I had a lot of both...I'm not entirely upset..I'm a big girl.. I have a family that needs me and the reason why I was wanting to go back to school is so I could find a job that paid more so I could put my kid's in daycare...and wouldn't have to pay someone half my paycheck to watch my kids... TGIF.... I'm ready for a nice long weekend...

Jess & Mike's Wedding is getting closer and closer...I like going to other people's weddings..I don't like going to  immediate families weddings b.c. that entails work..and a whole bunch of stuff leading up to that day lol....don't tell you disagree b.c. you know what I mean... this weekend is her bachorlette party... is it sad that I know we are going to Thristy's and I'm more excited about maybe eating pizza there then even drinking..which I don't plan on doing..its just not worth the pain the next day...maybe I"ll practice self control and just bring a girly drink for the party before we go to thristys...

I'm very excited for the 3 day weekend...it will be so nice not being busy..and just doing whatever... well I gotta get going Stu needs picked up to go to his 1 Yr check up!..He is gonna get his shots..and hopefully the doctor will be able to help his Congestedness and wheezeyinees... who knows.. I'll update later...

One funny Sondra Story...
So I ended up having to take the kids with me to Rhodes because I had to pick some papers up or something I don't know... it was a little bit kind of weird to begin with..weird feelings..anyway..we made it about half way up there and Sondra says... Mamma I'm tired..I need a break...lol ...I said Girl you need to get in shape we are going to go to school and we gotta be able to walk!....

also as we are walking out I have my mohawk baby on my hip and holdin Sondra's hand... and I run into an old boyfriend...and he politely says Hi and me too..and I think to myself.. that's right...look what you missed :)... lol.I don't blame him..... I'd always wanted a serious boyfriend....but I was not always looking for a good guy in the right places....hmm... even Jake the good guy wasn't a intentional choice..he looked like a crazy bad boy...but came out totally different... He was a nice surprise... :)

Welp! I'll talk to you later!

I have Survived!

I could not in good conscious not post a blog this week.,...I have had a blast teaching at bible school..I have heard the funniest things... thoughtful things... and just darn cute things.... My favorite this week would have to be a from a boy named Gabe...he colored me a picture of a cow...but colored it black and brown..and told me that this cow would give me Chocolate Milk...this little boy was so sweet....I had at least 9 to 11 first and second graders in my class everyday..at times I was teetering on out of control..and when I arrived at work around noon time each day...that is when I exhaled and relaxed. I am honored I was able to participate in sharing the good news to children. They are our future and that is the best time to plant the seed...I had one little girl that stuck to me like glue..and she called me "teacher" although she knew my name- but a little boy kept throwing his pencil and hitting the ceiling and she looks at him and says stop that- this is God's House and he don't want you to mess it up!....lol... very cute... I'm amazed at what little souls already know. I know where this little girl lives and where she comes from and only hope she starts coming to Sunday school like her older sister has been doing for about a year now I think...
I have so much stuff going on this weekend that I wish I could just fast forward and it be Sunday night and me and Jake are just falling asleep in bed... I have Rachel's Baby Shower tomorrow.. I went shopping getting everything last night...and hopefully got it all...and then I have Sondra & Stuart's birthday dinner Sunday night....Sondra really wanted a party so I'm excited for her...She has been wanting the "belle" princess dress up dress at Walmart and that is what I got her... all of her birthday money she receives we are going to pick out a bike with training wheels and the whole nine yards..we've decided on a 18'' bike..its the best fit but most of them are not sold with training wheels so we will have to buy those and she just doesn't understand that...so wish us luck when we go...
Welp I got to get going! :) Upadate more later!

VBShereicome NastyWife RaininBabiesBdays funny story!

I have so much going on lately... its absolutely nuts...
1st off- with the help/encouragement from my Grandpa I'm going to teach at bible school. I am very nervous. I'm teaching 1st and 2nd grade! I have been excited all along but now really really excited b.c. I'm going to be apart of bible school! I'm reading the lessons and figuring stuff out.

2nd- this Sunday is Father's Day... hmm... yes.. My original plans were not to make anything of it... here is a confession... this year for mother's day I told Jake not to worry about doing anything..that he and Sondra could make me a dinner... well Mother's day rolled around and no special dinner...a few days after I nudged them to do it..and I felt a little... short changed... like...why wouldn't he do at least something???... or pick something small up..or whatever...well..I've learned to get what you want...you have to tell him What you want exactly!... anyways..well my original plans were to not do anything... just let the day go by and when he complained  or if he would complain say well its just like mother's day... lol.. I am so nasty...you don't need to tell me really. Anyways...my conscious got the best of me. I hate it sometimes. We ended up making a "homemade" gift..I can't say I don't want to spoil it.... but I love the sentimental factor over the Money factor... to me..I don't want some expensive thing that I originally really didn't want or need... But home made/handmade over $$$ any day...and sorry in advance to any family members that I must disappoint during the holidays...

3rd- Baby Shower "Busy"ness- I can't even begin to explain to you what I need to do for the shower to what I don't need to to do..Its just thrown in my brain and is always a looming cloud in my brain...I'm slowly getting my RSVPs from people... Friday... I will be running places getting stuff for the shower....

4th- My Kid's Birthdays.. and yes I am a idiot and having a little "family" bday party the day after Rachel's baby Shower.... I am such a crazy person and take on so much that I just plain stupid.. lol... so I went back and forth about having a party..b.c. its going to be such a crazy butt weekend...and so I settled on at least having the aunts uncles and grandparents for dinner b.c. we threw Sondra a 1st bday party..and well we got to for Stuart for his 1st bday...we gotta have a cake smash..and everything! what makes me settled down about this is... My sister in law Melissa volunteered to do the cakes...thank you thank you..I'm just going to make a dinner..that is easy for me to do...  no worries there..and I think we are going to go all out..since its just us family..I'm gonna let Sondra pick out decorations and then pick a set out for Stuart...and decorate one end of the table one way and the other end the other way.. also their pcitures are finished!!!! I will be getting them printed friday!..Now I will have to finish their Birthday letters!... Wish me luck..that may be the weekend project... :)Here are the Collages I made of their photos..I'll send these out to aunts uncles and family friends..

5th- IDK ..I can't think of anything right at this moment.. oh lordy its 2:45pm already... I gotta go to the church and help decorate for Bible School...Stuart has been worrying me a lot lately...he just can't seem to shake this cough and wheezing business..I'm so sick of congested kids! lol.. just when Sondra seems to be growing out of it...Stuart seems constantly stuffed up or hacking it up... i tell Jake its his inferior genes lol...

A Sondra story.... So last weekend was Coolie's graduation party and Sondra is out playing with a couple little boys we know that are family friends..and the little boy is lead into the house holding his nose bleeding and crying....hhmm.....I ask what happened and my aunt tells me..Sondra hit him in the face with her shovel...OMG... this cannot be my daughter lol...so I go and find her and I get my mean mug on and I look at her and say Sondra did you hit Gabe with a shovel in the face...she looks at me innocent..."yes?"... I ask why?..her reply "Gabe was going to tackle me so I hit him"... lol.. well She is a resourceful little girl..I'll give her that..
So- more exciting news...Stu is getting his haircut this weekend! :) Very excited...and sad too..this will shed all his im a "bitty little" baby.. oh well..its part of life...his new tricks since I last wrote...he says Uh Oh...and when you say I love you or blow him a kiss  he takes his hand and pats his mouth like he is blowing a kiss..its so sweet... :)...Since Jake has been so busy this week with hay stuff he doesn't get home till past 10pm and so I'm then I have to put Stu to bed and the last 3 night I have fed him and he falls asleep in my arms...so adorale. I've been just sitting after he falls asleep and watch him sleep..I can't stand it.. sooner than I would like he is going to grow up behind my back like Sondra did..I'm so amazed to look at her and remember like it was yesterday when she was born.. These past 4 years have flown by as super power speed...I hurt b.c. I can't seem to remember the last time I rocked her to sleep. like Sondra's years...Stuart's 1st year has flown too...I'm trying my best at "holding on"
Alrighty!.. I gotta get going..I'm off to get the kids...make something quick to eat and then to church to decorate!

can't think straight...heres a big mess of my thoughts for you to figure out lol

I am loving this summer weather. I for one this year want to attempt to get a "tan" or some color this year without having to buy a tanning package. Everyday I put shorts on after work and head outside. Whether a walk to Lafayette park or outside to my parents. So far not doing too hot..but oh well... I'll give it a try..

Many things have been happening lately... I have been trying to actually decide on Rachel's baby shower food and little party favors which are necessary but i like little things like that..but I'm pretty much well decided and can't wait...Her friends that offered to help are doing great and have great ideas too.. Its great...

So then on to my next todo...Sondra's birthday pictures... I have this cute idea...and then I am thinking I want pictures with her pony too.. how could you not..she is in love with this thing... almost everyday I pick her up from Amanda's and she asks: "Mommy is it horse riding day?"..its so cute!..

Soooooooo... I'm currently filling out my FASA and stuff... going to look into seeing how much it would be to go back to school....you can always dream right .. I figure if I have to work I might as well like what I am doing.. we'll see..very primal but still want to check and see if time...cost...and everything else is worth it..

I didn't get everything I wanted accomplished today...well there is always tomorrow.. we'll see!~..
I'll write another time..got a lot going on~ ... love me

oh 3 day weekend-miss you..kindle sadness..JuneBugs Pictures

After having that 3 day weekend...I could get use to that! makes you week go a little bit faster! So Monday Jake started cutting hay. So that means me & the kids are on our own in the evenings which it wouldn't be as bad but he is usually busy on weekends too doing "man stuff"..whatever..work outside at my parents farm..so I'm living the single momma life lately..which it isn't bad right now..my parents have a family friend's 2 kids for the week so we have been going over there in the evening letting them run wild... its fun to watch them interact and play! It sometimes really sucks like when he is stressed out b.c. his baler isn't working right and doesn't get home till 10pm at night and I talk to him more on the phone then I do in person..but him and this hay business my brother and him have...will help us buy our forever home..so I'll push through and try not to complain too much...

I am in utter sadness lately...i stare at my kindle and have nothing to read...the series that I read through really fast is done till September... that won't come soon enough..so if you have any good authors let me know...I haven't had any book really trip my trigger lately...entertain me... 

Sondra & Stuart's birthdays are coming up. Why would I be so blessed to have two kid's birthdays in the same month..let a lone days apart! Their pictures have begun. I started the first try lastnight with Stu..and let me tell you what...he isn't as easy as Sondra was when she turned one but as depressing as I thought of a job I was doing..I actually got some good ones..Sondra is next...and then Stuart will be again when I think..IDK.. i want to do the messy cake one..but can't think of where to do it b.c. I can't do it in doors b.c. I can't really figure out good lighting the pictures always looks weird... either way... I'm trying to get the pictures done early before their bdays so I can mail them out~!... also reminds me I need to get their birthday letters done too..Stuarts will be easy..mostly facts about what he did when he did... Sondra's..who am i kidding will be easy..its so easy to write  a letter....especially to your kids..little humans you look at and see your whole future in their eyes..its just finding the actual time to do it. I will get it done and get the letters in their folders by their birthdays..you just watch!...

I am so ready for the weekend..nothing too big planned..but just being with my Babies and hubby... Sondra has a birthday party... and a grad. party on Sunday... wohoo! 

Stuart's Good Pic :)

They have the funniest faces :)... Stu was getting mad at Sondra!
