Okay, can I just bitch about my mother for a moment!! Now I understand that my mother has 6 kids and that she is still raising my youngest brother but....does she have to be such a crabby bitch all the time! My brother Will has a girlfriend named Ashley. I like Ashley, I would go so far as to say that Ashley is the closest thing to a sister I've ever had. Anyway, Ashley spends alot of time with me and my family and sometimes she looks after the kid's for me. Today she was going to pick Haley and Ricky up after she got out of work and take them to my mothers house for dinner. I called my mom to set this up and she was, as always, reluctant but said it would be nice to see them. I quote, "they are my grandkids and they are always welcome in my home!" So I'm happy. Scott can get some extra sleep and the kid's can get a good meal (my mom is an awesome cook) and run around in the country air. Then when I get home Ashley tells me how grumpy my mom was and about how uncomfortable she made everyone feel. WHAT!! During dinner my mom complained about having to cook for everyone. As dinner was finishing up she tells Ashley that she (my mom) has alot to do and that Ashley needs to bring the kid's home as soon as they're done. She won't let my kid's color while they're there because she doesn't want a mess. Oh yeah, and she asks Ashley why my "lazy" husband isn't watching the kid's. Mind you he is on his 19th straight day in a row of working, he isn't lazy, he is a wonderful person who loves me and "our" kids, he is a wonderful provider, he gives me everything I could ever want...AND who does she think she is insulting my husband to anyone, especially in the presence of Haley and Ricky! WHAT A BITCH!!!!!!!! Now I feel better. I am going to have to dig deep to find a way to get past this...any advice?

Well it's Monday again and we had an other eventful weekend. Saturday was the Perrigo company picnic which is always fun for the kids. I think they send an invitation to Mother Nature because it was very hot and muggy out, but the rain waited till we were all done and on our way home. And if you were in Allegan that day you know how hard it rained! The kid's got airbrush tattoos, met Bozo the Clown and ate endless amounts of cotton candy and snow cones! They ran into old "friends" (yes the whore was there!) They went to their dad's afterward so I wasn't too worried about their sugar intake!!! Oh yeah...Rick met us at the gas station to get the kid's (not our normal drop off mind you but it was covered and dry) and he has a new girlfriend!! The kid's say her name is Heidi and she has two teenagers. They say she is very nice to them (she wouldn't even get out of the car to meet me and Rick didn't bother telling me who she was) which is what is important. We will wait and see. Scott and I had a romantic evening planned which went well until my "Aunt Rosie" made an early entrance! We still had a nice weekend though...Never underestimate a good snuggle!

Not sure anyone reads this but it is a sort of therapy. I love being in my new house but I don't have neighbors like Kishelle. Not one has introduced themselves except the lady on the corner and from the sounds that emit from her house I don't think they are very nice people. Loud music, a few choice @%#^^$!! and a lot of yelling! So I'm kinda lonely and feeling sorry for myself. Scott's folks are right around the corner and that is great. My brother and his girlfriend stay here all the time and that is great. So I should just get over it and count my blessings.

I'm back!!! We're moved in...Boxes everywhere...But moved in! I absolutely love it. The kid's go outside and ride their bikes all the time. Ricky plays baseball in the backyard all day. It is beautiful!
