LIFE

For anyone that read my last post before I deleted it, I'm sorry. I was upset yesterday and needed to vent. If you didn't read it, it wasn't attacking anyone, it was just me having a pity party for myself being stressed out and angry at life.

I'm cool now. lol

Life is hard and I accept this challenge. I will do my best to make it work and take it day to day. And if things fall into place to make things easier, then yay. If not, it is what it is and I'll always have my family no matter what.

HELP?

Hi everyone, I am happily ready to admit I need your help!

First, pray for me. School was overwhelming this summer, it's not even over this semester yet and there was only one class on campus... I really want to get my Bachelor's degree over with, if I am able to go full time, I can graduate in 3-4 semesters (depending on availability of classes). That is summer or fall 2011 - so close! Please pray I can organize my time and brain so I can accomplish this and my family won't suffer for it :) Thanks!

Matthew's job is changing, he'll be moving from Nights to Days... there are some pros and cons to this, one con is he'll be getting $1/hour pay cut :( But it will be nicer for him to be around for the evening.

To help make up for this and try to apply my mad skills, I started a little photo editing business. I don't want to have to get babysitters to do photo shoots, so I can do photo editing from home, so people can e-mail me photos they have taken themselves. Spread the word! You can access and purchase using Paypal at my blog http://PhotoKicker.blogspot.com/

And if you "like" my page on facebook, I'll edit a photo for free! See examples of editing I can do through the blog or facebook page! Love you all and thanks for reading!

Summa UPDATE

I let so much time pass between posts, then I think there isn't really anything to post... but then there's a lot to post. My brain hurts trying to organize the past. Let's just keep it simple:

Trip to California - Awesome. Beach. Matthew make kids afraid of ocean forever. Love Suzy, Grandma and Grandpa. Yay for vacations with kids... which aren't really vacations, we discovered.

School for Amy - Awesome. Tiring. 4 classes, going well... still not sure on the major.

Patrick - Replacement tooth shooting through where he lost his first one. That adult tooth makes me feel like I lost my baby. He's taking skating lessons still and enjoying every minute.

Stephen - Wishes he could do everything Patrick does, has no idea he's shorter, still needs naps and not going to school. He's so sweet to William and loves him a little too much sometimes.

Matthew - Super excited we have a flag pole, he flies flags every day with good weather. Still table coordinator at Nu Skin, enjoying it, likes his co-workers and stuff.

Trip to Arizona - Me and boys went for 2 days to see family, Aunt Brenda-Uncle Tony-Cousin Brandon and Grandma Gerry all from Tennessee stayed near my sister Lisa and her family. It was a nice quick trip and I'm glad we did it!

Soap Box - How hard is it to stop an oil spill? We don't need to waste any time on who's fault, it's obvious... why the heck aren't people being held accountable for their inability and lack of imagination to block a pipe?

Baby William - Little dude just can't stay healthy for too long. No, it's not too bad. Yesterday he had a fever spike really quickly and poor little thing just wasn't himself. I hope it's a 24 hour thing and he'll be flinging his limbs around and rolling again in no time. And he does not like baby food.

SAD FAREWELL- Our beloved cat, Mufasa, is MIA. He never was gone for 24 hours. He loved the boys and was very loving and patient with them. He was super faithful and dependable, he just disappeared. We had a couple ideas on things that could've happened. Nonetheless, we've come to terms with the fact that he's gone for good - hopefully in a wonderful place. We miss him so much and it's so sad to have only had him in our family for one year, but that is a year full of happy memories we will all remember him by. Good bye Mufasa, we love you.

Pictures - and I'm done. Love you all!
