My Son Got Bapitized!!

My son Zach was bapitized August 9th, 2009 at Green River Chapel. I am so proud of my son to ask God into his life.

Kids are back in school!

The kids have been in school a total of 4 days now! Abbie has been sick 2 of those days but she is better today thank goodness. I think everybody around here is cautious cause of the outbreak of the Swine Flu at the Job Corps. Campus. They confirmed over 46 cases that came into the hospital but were not admitted. I was afraid that Abbie had it cause she came home complaining she had been cold all day and her throat hurt and her she felt sick. I was oh no the first thing that came to my mind was that stinkin ole Swine Flu. I told myself if she wakes up and starts vomitting I was taking her to the ER. She woke up and was ready to eat and bounce around. Praise The Lord!!! Hopefully she won't come home feeling bad today. She has Girl Scouts meeting after school today. Yesterday they had a special day for the Girl Scouts they had like a spa day for them Abbie had her nails painted with little daisies on them being that her Girl Scout Troop are called the Daisy Troop!

2 days until kids go back to school....

Thats the reason for the school background. I just can't believe that summer is almost over. I am glad that it is almost over. My kids have erkkked (not sure I spelled it right)my one last nerve. I am so ready for school to start only 2 days... Yippeee!!

Don't get me wrong I love my kids but goodness I have to have a break.

Abbie will be in the 1st grade! She is excited about going back to school. At the open house she found out that she is sitting by her best friend Ethan. He's also her next door neighbor. I'm not sure that is a good thing or bad thing! Ha Ha Ha!! Abbie also knows almost everyone in her class, so that is a good thing. She is my little social butterfly.

Zach is going into the 4th grade gosh my first born! He loves school and he is a good student. I just hope this teacher this year is like all the other teachers he has had. I am so afraid that it is going to be a rough year for him. I sure hope not!

Alex my stepson is going into the 8th grade. WOW the teenagers these days are something else. If I had as much as a foul mouth as the teenagers today I wouldn't have a bare bottom to sit on. :P I mean come on some of the words that I heard back in April on Zach's Birthday at Spinners from those little kids... F this F that or that stupid MFB. Im talking this was coming out of about 10, 11, 12 year olds. I just hope Alex is not snatched out of 4 or 5 different schools his 8th grade year. His mom is on her 4th marriage and not sure how long it will last or how long she will let it last. Shes a social butterfly in a totally different way. :P

Yay 2 days until school starts!!!

What a month it has been....

Well July was a rough month. First off my sister - in - law decided she was moving to California and leaving her kids behind. She left behind a son who is 12 soon to be 13 and a daughter who is 17 and has a daughter of her own who is 5 months old. I just don't understand how she could just up and leave them kids and her grandkid behind. Well her son was suppose to go too Indianapolis Airport with her to spend one last night with his mom, but he didn't get to go. WHY you ask???? Well she got there and I texted her on her sidekick (she's deaf and thats the only communication I have with her) I asked her was her son with her and she said no. I said I thought he was supposed to go with you so he could spend one last night with you and she said no I didn't have room for him. WHAT??? She had 2 cars following her and she didn't have enough room. That's a sad excuse!! So I texted her ex-husband the one that has custody of the kids now and asked him how his son was and he told me that he cried himself to sleep. He was so looking forward to going. The next day I talked to my nephew and told him he was welcome to come down here and stay before school starts. He said sure no problem so about July 15th or so my hubby and I went to Evansville and picked him up. Then we went to the mall over their and went school clothes shopping. I found a lot of good deals on clothes. We had all 3 kids with us including hubby's nephew with us. It went smoother than I thought. While my nephew was here he was a very big help. I miss him so much and I know its hard on him to be there without his mother. Well he went home July the 28th his dad and sister came and got him. I am so glad that I got to see my Great Niece also. She is such a doll. I will be glad when my sister in law comes to her senses and realizes what a big mistake she made moving out there for a man. While her ex and her daughter were here they were so aggravated with my sister in law cause she was texting them constantly wanting to know where they were at. I thought what does she care and what is she going to do? Finally her daughter told her if she was going to aggrivate us so much you should have just stayed in Indiana. I laughed my butt off cause thats all she is doing is getting on everybody nerves. I love my sister in law but geee whizzzz give me a break with all the snapping at me for stuff that I have no idea about. Telling me that she raised her kids it was time for them to be on there own... I was like oh my goodness is she kidding me or has she lost her mind? Her son is only 12 years old he can't live his life on his own. I know her daughter is a mother but goodness this is the time when she needs her mother the most. My sister in laws reply was I taught her alot before I left and she will be okay. I said yeah I know she will be okay cause she has to now. My niece is a wonderful mother to her baby. I am very proud of her I was worried about her at first but since she has been down here a few times I can tell she is doing a wonderful job. Yes all mothers get frustrated with their kids. You can't say you don't either. I get frustrated with mine all the time of course my kids are 9, 6 (going on 16), and 13 (acts like he is 18) they work my nerves everyday, but I love them all with my heart. I just hope my nephew is doing okay. All in all I hope August is better than July.

A Newspaper Article I found!

I was cleaning out some old papers and stuff and ran across this newspaper article of the Stam Variety Store that was located at Oxford, Indiana. My grandparents owned that store. The article is when it went out of business September 01, 2001. My mother ran it until it went out of business. It was were I spent most of my summers growing up as a kid. It had anything from candy ... he he he ... that was the first stop I made everytime I arrived there. Come on give me a break I was a kid thats all I had on my mind back then. :P Then it was school supplies to shoes if you can read the article it will explain it was a very old Variety Store my grandparents opened it back in 1949. If you are unable to see the writing send me an email and I will send you a copy of the pictures.

I Will Try!!!

I will try to write something later on today! I have had my hands full the last 3 weeks or so. It's also been hard on my family with the sister - in - law just literally leaving her kids behind to be with another man half way across the United States. Well off to bed I go. More of whats going on later! =)

WOW, I Can't Believe She Left......

I am sorry readers I have to vent this out or I was going to blow soon!

My Sister-In-Law will be leaving out for Indianapolis Indiana Airport tomorrow she will be flying to California. Its very sad. Why???????????

She is moving to California to be with her new boyfriend. Why is this bothersome to me? Well it really ticks me off that she is going and leaving her kids and brand new grand baby behind. Yes you read right she is not taking her kids with her she is leaving them in Evansville with their dad. I just don't understand HOW a MOTHER could leave her own flesh and blood behind. Her son is 12 and her daughter is 17 and just had a baby in February. Yes and she is leaving all that behind not giving a care in the world about them. It is so sad to see her do that to my niece and nephew and also my new grand niece. I just couldn't do that to my own kids.... I would regret it. Just how in the world does these mothers do that to their kids. I never would of believed it would happen in my own family. IT IS SO SAD!! =( I am just so angry at her. She was telling us she had to live her own life and her kids live theres. Wow she has a life , she has her kids and when her daughter needs her the most with becoming a mother herself. Who will she rely on now? Well I have one guess on that and its going to be the lady that got her into alot of trouble and the one that probably let my niece get pregnant in the first place. My nephew is so mad and holding inside and it hurts me to see him like that. He is such a good boy and he is sweet. Why does it have to happen to him? I am just so really ticked off right now. I'm a mother and I couldn't even think about leaving my kids behind to go be with another guy that is half way across the United States.
