Are you getting the Swine flu shot? Not looking for a debate please DONOT attack someone who does not agree with you..


As for us We are not getting them.. tyler is to sick at the moment to recive any shots he is now 6 months behind. But besides the point what are you and your family doing?

 Can you belive it my baby boy has taken his first trip around the sun. I hope it was a blast for him although he will not remember it. ;) WOW,, I can remember thinking 2 years ago how blessed where were to have our three girls. We had talked about adoption and foster care some and we also had even talked about family blancing and actally got accpetd into a program in Chicago. But had to wait to due to much money and we had a ethic issuse with it meaning that if God wanted us to have a boy we would have had one. Well then I was admitted to the hosptial for live threathing high blood pressure. And I was bleeding so bad.. (TMI) they stated the IUD had to be removed. :( . So We removed it in Novemember of 2007 and January of 2008 I said a pray saying God please bless us with a Son if it is through adoption or fostercare I would be fine to. (we got pregant 30 mins later) no joke. You kinda keep track where that doesn't happen much. ;) Anyhow On October 15th 2008 we had out baby boy.. He was 4 week early be he was here and that was all that matter, He had some breathing issuses to deal with cause he was early. But he was able to go home the next day. This year has been a alot of ups and downs. Lets hope this next year we can enjoy having 4 great healthy kids. Although I can no longer have any more children with out risking my life we do plan on adopting out of thr foster care system once we are in our own home. Anyhow I am off to bed.. HAppy birthday lil man..

Well nothing is happing at this house for the next few days. Anyhow we have attemped school with becca here and there. And she gets so fustrated and upset that we just don't want to mess with it. I was getting fustrated feeling she might "fall behind" well I think it did her some good that we where jsut not messing with it. And I had thought about giving her a bunch to do the next few weeks but we are going to start slowly.. She thinks she is stupid and it is fustration. When we sit to read she struggles but yet when we picked up our snow white blue ray today she broke it open and started reading everything in the box. I looked at her and said see you CAN read. You just read that whole page (on the tinkerbell movie) to me. It is important to you and you want me to know so you read it to me right, She agreed. I said see YOU are NOT stupid. SO help me when i find who put this in my kids head. It is not that she can not do the work she has no faith in herelf. We talk about everything with the kids. We had dinner the other night and it turned into a lesson about gases (steam), Liquid, and soilds. So now she is always telling me what each item it. To teach her how to count the money we have been having her pay for the stuff at the store and having her make sure she got the right amount back. Dan will also reach in his pocket and grab some coins hand them to her and ask her how much is there. So we are just being more laid back about it. We will have assigments more later once she knows can and she belives in herself. Katie and Mckenna are doing great to they love "spelling" (reading out the letters of everything they see) and they love telling me what everyshape is. So they are doing great. Just one day at a time. the school is out or about to be out for fall break anyhow I told dan we are year round and all day long where the school takes, fall, winter, spring breaks and they also have 2 days for thanksgiving and other days off during ther year, I don't belvie there is one month where the schools do not have a day off. I am going to try NOT to worrie about it. So that is where we are at when it comes to school.

In other news we had to get the kids up at 3:45 am to get into the bathroom cause of a torando that went though last ngiht. Not the funnest thing. I am extremlly scared of them having been in 2 of them that touched down when I was little and a few other funnel clouds. I was shaking uncontrolably. Thank god the kids did not notice. We jsut sat it out in the bathroom and the wind that went through the house. (yes we had windows open you are suppose tp open windows) got really strong for a few mins then it died down and we where ok. So that was exciting. NOT. 

Dans job is going well as of the moment. We are excited that he seems to like it. The work is steady. We can only pray it  stays that way.

Yes christmas in on our mind here. Does anyone have any good suggestions for a gift that would not be thrown in the bottom of the toy box. I am really putting alot of though into chirstmas thing year. She is getting a computer for her birthday. We have already picked it out I just can not spend that kind of money on her for chirstmas. I am a i.t. geek so I do know how to block what she is not allowed to see. So bascally I am looking for an eductaion gift that will actually be used for the 3 girls.. I ahve alos started thinking That i mgiht just keep the christmas within our home. I normally try to do for all the cousins. I went all out last year for everyone don't think I am going to do that this year since no on really talks to us it is really pointless to only talk once a year. That is alot to spend on kids you rarely see or have never meet. I spent atleast $25 per kid,, times that buy 5 kids we bought for last year and the 9 kids, plus my friends 4 girls we where going to buy for this year.  yeah maybe not.  Just not sure what to do it is not the kids fault that we don't speak or that we have never meet them but yet that is alot of money. So who knows we may just buy for a couple of them. I have not decided yet.

MY life lesson:

So as bitter as I have been since tyler was born, I do still have a soft side. . I was really upset of something someone else did to someone else. And i was really upset of it. My mom told me. "Cris (that is what they call me don't ask who knows) you can not fix the world." " you can not change everyone". I am upset she said I couldn't cause it jsut makes me want to. But she is right atleast she point I am not completey bitter. I still care about a few people. ..

anyhow long day at the zoo tommarrow So I am off to bed and hopefully tonight no more alarms going off as I am headed to bed.
