Returns, Changes, and a New Plan

I'M BACK!!!!! Hopefully I actually keep this thing updated. Me and the girlies are now in Portales. Girls are loving it! Samirah Dawn is in the THIRD grade and that sweet little mouse?? Last I posted she was a tiny little thing right? Now she is a KINDERGARTNER!!!!! OK that word looks sooo wrong....correct me please. The autocorrect sez its right.
Any who. So as I was saying, the girlies LOVE their schools. Both are doing great. Sami has made ABBIT (A's And B's Because I Try) every semester so far. Cady's teacher sez she is one of the best in her class. The kinder class doesn't do ABBIT. They both have friends and seem happy.

I'll HAFTA finish this up in a bit. Time to go get the kiddos from school, YAY. LOL

OK I am home. I have picked up a new talent. I am now a knitter!! I love it too. Its fun creating new stuff. Apparently I am pretty good. It comes pretty easy to me so yeah.

I really can't think of anything else to write about. Lataz!!!

Kids growing, New Pets, and Heartbreak

***NOTE*** This Post is two years old! I don't know why I didn't post it then but it was saved as a draft!*****

It has been YEARS since I have used this. Now the girls are older, Sami turned 6 in May and Cady will be 4 in October. Samirah graduated from Kindergarten this yr, she was very excited. She is doing well with school, absolutely LOVES it.

Cady is jealous and wants school to. They were in Daycare for awhile and she loved that. Still talks about her "teacher" haha. Both are fully potty trained and doing well. When tested they are normally average to high average, except in social skills. Both girls are on about the same level as 7 yr olds! I don't know why they are so social since I am not but they are lol.

We have a new dog, Midnight. She is a malamut (I think) and Blue Heeler mix. She likes to chew. I am trying to stop that. For the first few weeks we had her Cady would go out and play chase with her and laugh when she would chew her toes and pull her by the shirt. Now that Midnight is getting bigger Cady don't like it anymore. Now we have to break midnight of the behavior.

Now the big news, for the past 2 yrs (well almost 2 yrs) we have lived with a man. He was a sweetheart when he wanted to be and I loved him very much. The girls call him Daddy. I say loved, I mean love, because no matter what I do love him with all my heart. We are currently seperated. I had to leave, he is pretty much emotionally unavailable. He isn't one to cuddle and be loving and all of that. He can be rude and mean actually.

Now he is begging me to return, his daughter is also begging me to return. He swears he understands now and needs to prove it. That if I move back he will prove it and be the most loving blah blah. I want to beleive him but he is still mostly acting exactly the same. I dunno.

MIA!

Sry I have been MIA for so long! Sami is sick right now. Cold, I'm worried Cady might be catching it. I have a sore throat but I don't think Sami has that. When I ask her if it hurts she says no.

I am working on a family tree. its sooo much fun lol.

Anywho, I'll write more later on, its late now. I'll be back more often I promise!

Shopping, More Screaming, Giggling Baby

We went to Clovis yesterday. Was planning on going to Tatum but things came up lol. Instead, we dropped the car off at my Godparents in Portales and then ate lunch at Taco Box. Then we went on to Clovis to do our shopping.

When I was buckling Cady into her carseat before we went she was giggling her butt off. Guess I was tickling her when I was trying to get it buckled heh. It was so cute.

Then on the way home she cried and screamed. Almost the ENTIRE way. She was WAY overtired and overstimulated, poor kid. We stopped in San Jon and dad went into the store and got a bottle of water and I changed the girls diapers. Cady was ok for a few minutes after I changed her. I changed their clothes to. I had Sami's PJ's with us and alot of Cady's Sleepers. Then we stopped again in Logan and I rocked her a bit. She didn't calm down so I buckled her and we took off. She finaaly fell (and stayed) asleep after llike 5 minutes.

Then she ate when we got home and fell asleep again. Slept till 630, ate, went back to sleep till 930!

She's hungry so BYE!

Going Through Toys, Freezers, and Bills

Today I did some house cleaning. I went through Sami's toys, that was fun. The one time I wanted her to sit and watch TV she wouldn't. I threw some toys out that were broken ect. Got a basket of toys that I'm going to try to find the missing pieces before I throw them out.

I went through the freezer too. Threw out some Catfish that have been in there since before Sami was born, some chicken drumsticks that looked that old too.

I also helped dad clear out some old bills. Mostly, I just shredded them heh. I did go through and get the ones that had my name or my brothers name on them out We are going to mail my brothers to him and I will be filing mine in my filing cabinet.

I made chicken, cheese, and spinach quesadilla's for dinner. They turne outs really really REALLY good! I was pleasantly surprised lol.

Anywho, we are going to Tatum again tomorrow. I wish I could skip it, don't feel like going on an overnighter, but we are driving the Taurus to Portales and leaving it. So, I have to drive the car and Dad is driving the pickup.

Well, I'm gunna crash out, NIGHT!

Shopping, Lost Cats, and Crazy Kids

We went to Logan for milk and such today. Poor Cady had a blow out diaper and I didn't have a change of clothes. I normally leave an outfit in the diaper bag but I forgot to put a clean one in after our last visit to Tatum heh. So she got cleaned and wrapped in a blanket for the store and just covered in the truck. We may be going to Tatum tomorrow again. Dunno, we'll see.

There was a little black kitty on the highway yesterday. I got it and brought it here so the thing wouldn't get hit. I figured it would run off to find someone that would feed it because even when we were feeding our cats that all found other homes heh. Not this one, it just hung around. Today a lady from town called, she bought some newborn socks for Cady, and I asked her if she knew anyone who might want a cat and she said she would look around if I wanted to drop it off there. I brought it and they knew whose cat it was so it all worked out.

Sami fell in LOVE with that cat. She let it in the house and just cracke up about it rubbing on her legs. When we all got in the car it kept trying to climb in her carseat when I was trying to buckle her in and she thought it was the funniest thing ever. She cried so hard when I dropped it off, poor kid. I just can't afford an animal right now though.

Man, I'm upset with the State. They sent me a letter saying that they would be giving 100$ clothing allowance this mnth. I was all excited thinking "Yay, 100 bucks to buy clothes! The girls need clothes!" I kept reading and at the very end it says: "You will recieve 100$ clothing allowance for each child ages 6-13." WHAT!! Now, why couldn't they start the letter with that? Start off telling us that it is only for kids 6-13? GRRRR!! Got my hopes up for NOTHING!

O.K. That's my rant for today lol. I'm going to pump and crash out!

BTW

Casey and her family made it home fine. Just thought I would let you know!

Active Babies, Screaming Toddlers, and Falling Asleep

Sorry no post yesterday. I fell asleep. I was tired heh.

Cady slept last night from about 10-1030 till 630 this morning! I was soooo happy lol. Then she slept another hr and stayed awake until about 830 and by then Sami was awake. So, I've been awake since about 830. Cady then woke up around 930-10 and slept for maybe 2 hrs total today. She was VERY active today.

Everytime she would fall asleep Sami would scream. She is in a mean streak right now. She is pinching and hitting and screaming alot. Luckily, she hasn't gone after Cady, mostly me. I think I need to find some time to spend with her. Poor kid is prob just wanting a little mommy time.

I'm run, prob crash out. NIGHT!

New Blog, Heart Attacks, and Improving Life

I made a new blog on here to chronicle my weight loss (or lack of). So far it's nothing lol, will start the REAL posts tomorrow.

My children are trying to give me a heart attack. I was cooking dinner and Sami was standing on the chair beside me and Cady was laying in her bassinet just looking around. Suddenly, Cady lets out this ear peircing scream! It sounded like she was dying! I run to her and see nothing wrong and am trying to calm her and I remember Sami is standing near the stove with noone in the room with her! I holler for her to get down and start to walk over and I see she is getting down so I turn back and am going to sit and feed Cady. That's all I can think of that she would need. Just before I sit, I look over and Sami is standing in the door of the kitchen crying and screaming. I couldn't hear her over Cady screaming but I could see pain on her face. I freak thinking that she burned herself.

So, still holding a screaming Cady, I run to my 2 yr old expecting the worse and ask her what was wrong. She points to her stomach and about that time I see her horse (horse head on a stick) was lying sideways whereas when I had passed it earlier it had been sticking up. Sami had stuck the head in her little drum and left the stick poking at an angle. I hadn't given it a second thought when I saw it because I was rushing to Cady. Well, turns out that Sami had come running into the livingroom and had run square into it. It scratched her tummy a little but no real harm. I am thinking about having her eyes checked.

She can see stuff real well most of the time but runs into things alot. Like her horse or the counter. Today, she went running into the kitchen and around the corner towards the hall and ran smack into the counter! It knocked her down and she cried until I kissed her head and then ran around the same corner but this time slowed down and was careful to avoid the counter.

It was like she didn't see it the first time. I dunno. I don't know how I would get her eyes checked since she is the least cooperative child on earth. We would set her in the chair and ask her a question and she would say NO, if she said anything at all.

Anywho, over the next yr I plan on improving the lifes of my children and me. I plan on getting healthy and getting Sami healthy. Cady is already eating as healthy as she can heh. I plan on getting us more active and less TV. This is my New Years Resolution. I plan on managing money better and keeping the house picked up better. The health part will be in my weightloss blog, and I am considering another blog for the other stuff. Of course, all of my blogs will probably blend together. This one is life in general, which in a way is the weightloss, better health, and all the rest. I'm also considering a blog about BFing. I don't know for sure.

Of course, if I make all these blogs and post in each on a daily basis then I'll spend all my time bogging lol. We'll see how it goes!

Another Day, Omlettes, and Crazy Kids

Well, yet another day has gone by. Nothing of interest has happened really. It's still pretty white outside.

My friend Jen is planning on moving down sometime in the next wk or 2. She will stay here until she gets her own place. At least thats the plan. Things aren't going so good for her and she misses NM. If she does make it, we may be looking to get a place together. We'll see.

I made an omelette for dinner tonight. When we have omelettes we make one big one then split it between the 3 of us. Normally we use 6 eggs but there was only 7 in the carton so I used all 7. I fried the left over ham from Christmas dinner with some frozen spinach and mushrooms and used the grease from that instead of using butter. There was WAY to much stuff lol. I took out that mix and poured the egg in. I added that and alot of cheese when the time was right. Then I tried to fold it. Didn't work lol. It didn't go all the way, to much insides hehe. Well, when I went to flip it it kinda folded the rest over (think burritos) so I was like cool, that works. I let it finish then cut it up ect. Turned out pretty good actually. Oh, I added some Lemon, Pepper, and Garlic souce/mariniade thats meant for fish or chicken to the eggs. Not alot, just enough for a little flavor. I was happy with how it turned out.

There was ALOT more spinach in it then I had planned. I had it thawing in a bowl of hot water and I looked over and, lo and behold, the 2 yr old was adding more to the bowl! I told her to stop and went back to my work, looked back and, surprise, she hadn't stopped! Teach me to think a 2 yr old will listen! LOL. I chased her off (no harm done really, spinach is good for ya so I let it go) and went back to cooking. I don't think she ate it all though.

She is being a major pain now a days. She keeps pestering her sister. Today Cady was swinging and sleeping peacefully and Sami was playing and I looked over to check on Cady and Sami was sitting there pushing the swing so far back the poor baby was falling forward! Thank God I buckle her in! I freaked and told her to get away from the baby. I kept an eagle eye on her the rest of the day. She was just trying to push her sister but it scared the CRAP outta me! No harm done, Cady is ok.

Anywho, I am going to attempt to move Cady from swing to bassinet and crash out. NIGHT!

Profile Views, Crying Fits, and Cravings

So, I have 50 veiws of my profile. If that many people have looked at my blog why have I not gotten any comments or even anyone posting to my map? The only ones on my map are people I know and they added from Myspace. Am I just boring? lol Honestly, I am interested in what others think of my babble. I didn't think anyone read it at all.

So, the past wk or so Cady has had crying fits every night. I think it's colic or a growth spurt. At least its evening and not uber late at night. She is peacefully sleeping in her swing right now.

Sami is being a pain. She wants me to read to her but she won't sit still and listen. I hate trying to read to a child who is wiggling around. Now she is in the room. I need to go put her to bed. I may go on to bed too. We'll see. Lataz!

Snow, Freezing Cold, and Stuck at Home

Its snowing again today. Cady is sleeping the day away after having a fit early this morning. She woke around 6 and was up crying and being wide awake until about 7-730. Woke Sami up several times but luckily she went back to sleep pretty fast. I finally got the swing and put her in it and she slept until 10-1030 when Casey woke me.

She scared me to death lol. I heard what sounded like a knock so I listened but didn't hear it again so I started to go back to sleep thinking I was hearing things when all of a sudden it was ALOT closer lol. I jumped up and looked around. Took me a few minutes to figure out that it was a knock on my window lol. I go and open the front door and Casey comes up. They were heading home and wanted to drop a few things off.

Sami had gotten up with me to answer the door so we stayed up. I turned on the TV in the livingroom and Tom and Jerry was on. She likes that show so we watched it for a while. I finally decided I wanted to watch something different so I turned on the bedroom TV and it was on Dora the Explorer. I told Sami "Look! Dora is on!" and she got up and said "OK! I'm looking!" and walked to the room and said "It is Dora!" I think she thought I was lying lol.

Anywho, I don't have much else to write on at the moment. I may write again later on. LATAZ!

Christmas, Sweet babies, and Snow

So, yesterday was Christmas. Was a good day. I got up and was planning on making pancakes and then waking everyone else up to eat. Instead, Sami woke up shortly after me. So, instead I woke dad up and we waited for him to get in the livingroom. When he came in I pointed the gifts out to Sami. They were sitting in the middle of the floor but she hadn't seen them lol. When I pointed them out she started grabbing and ripping. I didn't get any pics but it was cute. She played with her stuff while I made pancakes. We ate and the day went on.

Later on Casey came over with her little cutie, Kimberly. We took pics of all the girls together and traded babies for a little bit lol. Kimberly is alot bigger then Cady. Its funny, they were born just a few hrs apart but their are such differences. Kimberly is bigger and seems so much more active and alert then Cady. I put Cady in the swing and she passes out no matter what. Kimberly stayed awake and was looking all over the place. She has such big beautiful eyes! I can't wait to see how both girls grow!

They stayed for awhile. They'll be heading home tomorrow sometime. I was glad I got to see them. Well, it's late so I'm gunna go. NIGHT!

PICTURES!!

It won't let me add anymore. I have more to add later.

Quick post

Merry Christmas!

I won't post much now, I'm tired so I need to crash. I'll post about Christmas tomorrow though! NIGHT!!!

Christmas Eve, Last Minute Shopping, and Annoying People!!

So, It is Christmas Eve! YAY! LOL. We Went to Dalhart for shopping. We got food and a last minute Christmas gift for Sami. Dad bought it. I was going to get her a few cheap little things but dad bought her a nice gift. She has a few gifts now.I didn't buy anything, I really couldn't afford anything. We got her some new tights too. Now I will be doing a load of laundry tomorrow so she can wear her new dress the next day!

When I was buying them I got PISSED. We went to Beals because we couldn't find them at Alco and the parking lot of Dollar General was a sheet of ice. So, I go in and dad and the girls stay in the car. I find them and go stand in line to check out. They chit chat for awhile and finally another cashier comes up. Someone stops her to ask her something and thens she starts checking them out!! I was PISSED and just about walked my happy ass out. If the other cashier hadn't of finished and gotten to me withing 2 minutes I would have. Pissed me off. I'm standing there for like 10 minutes waiting and someone else got to check out first? I don't think I will be revisiting that store.

Well, it's nearly 1230 so I should crash out. NIGHT!!


Oh, Yeah....

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Shopping, More Cleaning, and Lack of Sleep.

Hello readers!

Tomorrow I guess we are going shopping. Fun! I need to do a TON more cleaning. Almost done with the livingroom but not totally. I can't wait until it's done.

Cady slept from 9 or so last night till 630 this morning!! She slept ALL NIGHT!! I was soooo happy. Well, I woke around 3 and realized she was asleep still so I kinda panicked a little and checked on her but once I saw she was fine I was SOOO happy. Hopefully she makes this habit! I should be asleep right now. It's 1130 and I'm soo tired lol. I dunno why I'm still up.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve! I think I'm going to give Sami her stocking tomorrow but I dunno for sure. On Christmas Eve night, after the kids are asleep, I plan on setting up all the gifts. Then Christmas morn I'll get up early and make pancakes, eggs, and bacon for breaky and then wake everyone up. We'll eat, then I'll start the ham cooking. Then it'll be prezzie time! I just realized she is getting NO toys :( that sucks. She is getting sheets, toothbrush set, slippers (from a neighbor), and I dunno what the secret Santa sent, but it feels like clothes. Maybe tomorrow I can find a cheap toy for her. That'll be sad if she doesn't get anything to play with. I'll have to look. Maybe we can stop at the Dollar Store and get something.

Shouldn't be to hard to find something for a 2 yr old lol. I need to decide about the stocking. If I am then I need to get it ready and hang it on the door. I wanted to get her Chocolates for it too though. I guess I could give what I have in it (or some of it) to her tomorrow and the rest on Christmas day. Thats a good idea! Ok, I'm off to do that.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Screaming, Refusal to Nurse, and Cleaning

Today has been spent mostly cleaning. I'm trying to get this house organized but its slow going with these kids. Right now I am going through clothes. The girls' and my own. Not getting rid of any baby clothes but all clothes above 6 mnths and below 18 is getting put in a plastic storage bin for awhile. Toys are next, Going to go through them and basically the ones I don't think she needs are being boxed to be dropped at charity. The ones Cady can use later but Sami is outgrown will go with the clothes for later.

Cady cried forever. I did everything I could think of, clean diaper, burping, and offering the boob. She refused the boob, sucked once or twice then spit it out. Well, after about 20-30 min I made a bottle of formula. She sucked it down! Now she is dozing in her swing. So, she is refusing to nurse. Which means I need to pump if I want to keep her on mostly BM. *sigh* At least she takes a bottle still, as long as she is eating.

Of course, now I'll need a few more bottles and ALOT more storage bags. Alot more money.

Anywho, Cady is asleep now. I'm going to go do a few more things then fight Sami into bed. NIGHT!

Family, Packages, and Christmas!

So we went to Tatum to visit family. I didn't get to post at all, sry bout that. I'm back now though!

I got ALL my packages from Target.com! The swing I got for Cady takes C sized batteries. We only have D lmao. The dress I got Samirah is soooooo cute! She has it on right now. Cady is wearing her baby legs too lol.

Samirah is getting a TON of Candy Canes in her stocking lol. Spongebob with a gummy attached (three of those) and some with Dora, Deigo, Spongebob, and Patrick (4 of each character) and a HUGE one that is plastic and full of gummy Krabby Patties lol.

She is having a very Spongebob Christmas this yr lol.

Casey got the girls something and I think my neighbor did as well. Dad just told me he got them stockings with their names on them, yay! Hopefully they get here tomorrow lol.

I have all of the gifts wrapped...well, no I take that back. I have one thing I hadn't intended to give as a gift but I think I will.

Family was good. Samirah is in love with Papa. She followed him around EVERYWHERE lol. It was cute and Papa seemed to enjoy it. Nanny loved holding Cady so this week was somewhat of a vacation for me. Nanny held Cady so I got to take Sami out to swing for a good long time. It was fun for both of us. First time in a while I got to spend some one on one time with my first born. I think she loved it as well.

It was a nice relaxing visit. We stopped in Portales on the way home and visited with my Godparents. My Godmother was there for Cady's birth and so she was happy to get to see Cady again. Sami too, of course. She gave me the disk with the pics she took at the hospital. I need to upload them and post them different various places lol.

Well, thats about it for now. I need to get things straightened up around here before Wed. Lataz!
