Update!

Amanda did not receive monitored return of the children. However, she did get supervised visits. I think this is truly the perfect solution. I wasn't ready for them to go back yet, but I didn't really want to think there was not a light at the end of the tunnel either. This way she can come get them on the weekends, take them back to Killeen and ease back into parenthood. It will also give us a break. She has another court date on Oct. 4th, if all goes well with the visits, she will get them back full time then. Thank you all for you thoughts, and prayers. You guys rock!!

Today's the day

I want to ask for your prayers and thoughts today. Amanda(Carolyn and Anthony's mother) goes back to court today. She could win back custody of her children. This has been our ultimate goal of course. It is a bittersweet moment though. We have put a lot of work into getting them back on track develpmentaly. I am concerned that Amanda will not maintain this. Please pray for her, for the judge making the decision, and the situation as a whole.

Strange Isn't It?

I've known about Dad for a few days, but I haven't spoken to him. Today I decide to post, and he calls. That's so weird. He infers he isn't drinking. I didn't press the issue, and he didn't come out and actually say, I have not drank. I geuss all I can do is take his word for it and trust him.

My Broken Heart....

I did this page in honor of my dad, who at the time had been sober for over 2 years. This was meant to be the right side of a 2 page LO. The second page was going to be the words to the song that is playing right now. I love this song. It reminds me of both my parents, and it reminds me of the reasons that I don't drink very often, and I never drink in front of my children. Anyway, I don't know first hand, but it looks like my dad is no longer on the wagon. It makes me sad, angry, disappointed, mostly though I'm just tired. Tired of him not acting his age, tired of him not being a "real" dad, tired of him thinking he's 20 instead of 50. I don't understand it at all. I will agree it's a sickness, but I believe it's a sickness started by weakness. To weak to deal what's going on in their lives. I have had some pretty crappy couple of years, never have I thought " A drink will be make me feel better" or " A drink will make all of this go away". Never ever did that cross my mind. Maybe it's b/c I have lived through this with my parents, maybe it's b/c it's just not me. Either way, it brings me to my favorite part of the song:

.....If I've learned one thing from him
It's my kids will never have to say....

Walk a little straighter Daddy, you're leading me.


So now the question is this: How do I finish this LO? What do I do for page 2?






Speaking of Dads and Daughters...Check out this pic. It's Savannah "Sugglebugging" with Jason. I'm so thankful that Savannah will never post a blog like this about her Daddy. Thank you Jason. I love you.

So geuss what I did with my "special" money Jason gave me? You got it, I bought bras. It's not like I didn't need them, I did. I just hate buying them. The good ones are so $$$$. Thankfully I found a buy one get one free bargin. So, I am now the proud owner of 2 new bras. You'll have to let me know if I look perkier!

Love

It's simple, I love Veronica Mars. I finished season 2 tonight. Most of my questions were answered, and like any good finale, a whole new set of questions were raised. I can not wait until the CW begins and I can start watching this show again.

This and That

Lots to tell, and I made a list so I wouldn't forget!

***Carolyn took her first steps! YEA! She not walking, but she is standing alone and taking steps here and there. This is huge.

***Anthony was re-tested at speech this week and he is within normal range. Before he was way below normal. If you talk to him you can tell he's speaking much better than when he first got here.

***This is the Heidi Swap set at Costco. It's a little different from the one on Melibelle's blog. Nuna went and got it for us today. It has so much stuff in it. It's so cool. I think I'm going to use it to make a book for one of Jason's co-workers that just had a baby girl.

***Jason's job ROCKS! It has so many awesome perks. On Oct. 7th we are going to see the Beach Boys at Billy Bob's, and get this...

the company Christmas party is going to be in a suite at a MAVS game!!!

Isn't that the coolest??? So much better than the bingo hall and pot luck like the Army parties.

***Today was Savananh's first day of school. She was very excited, and happy to see her old teachers. This pic is so her. She has so much 'tude sometimes I want to throttle her, other times she is so sweet.

***We decided to stay in our house another year. Jason didn't want to renew the lease, but we didn't have much choice. All these people, all this chaos, I'm in no mood to move ourselves. Plus, the next time we move, I want it to be into our own home. We are not ready to buy a house right now. The upside? We get another summer at the Summer Creek Ranch Pool.

***I get a 2 day weekend! I love it when we have holidays. I actually get 2 days off. I can't wait until I make DM. Then I'll get weekends off, and a payraise. That'll be sweet.

I love this song!

All day I have been thinking about adding this song to my blog. Tonight I come home and my sister has it on her MySpace! I hate what the song is about, just b/c it's every woman's worst nightmare. He sings it so well though, that you almost feel bad for him! Now that's a talented man.

When I'm away from the puter I can think of a billion things I want to blog about. I sit my bottom here in this chair and it all escapes me. Gone, out of my mind. I know there was stuff to share, but I can't for the life of me think of it! AGH!

First Day of School!

Finally school has begun! Everyone was ready. I'm not sure who was more excited, us or the kids. It's adds extra stuff to our day, but it is oh so worth it!

I can't believe I have a 2nd grader!

Notice Anything Different?

I have been playing with my template. I'm LOVING the changes. The bright colors are totally my personality. I still have to figure out how to get rid of that white stripe. I like the change of moving all the info to the left. It's something different. I feel like a true blogger now!

Do you know what this is????

It's the courthouse where Jason and I got married! I was looking up some info online and this just happened to be on one of the websites that came up. How cool is that? I haven't thought about that place in years.

So, guess what else? Jason got his first placement today! YIPEE! I'm so stinkin' proud of him. Industry standard is 1 in 8 in 90 days. Jason got 1 in 5 in 43 days:) He rocks! Not to mention the 1,100 commission that comes with it. Keep'em coming baby.

Hair

Okay, looks like Blogger is working again!
Tonight Elize and I went and had our girls night

choppy cut to go with it!
















Who's a Hottie? I AM!!

Blog Issues

Not going to do a huge post b/c I don't know if anyone can see this. I got my hair done and it looks AWESOME! I'm so pleased!

Today is the Day!

Tonight I am getting my hair done! I can't wait!

Another Late Night Post!

I have a good reason tonight:

After work I went to hang with lou. Darius got hurt at football practice. At first we didn't know exactly what happened, Welton just went to meet the ambulance on it's way to the hospital. All we knew was he broke his leg, and they thought maybe he might have hurt his knee too.

After a few hours we found out that he broke his femur(sp?) on the growth plate. Thank God he was so tall already! Last I knew, there was no damage to his knee. Wheew! I brought Lil Wel home with me while Lou and Wel went back up to the hospital. Darius was going into surgery about 9:30.

Please keep Darius, Welton, and Katina in you thoughts and prayers. It's a scary time for all of them. Darius has been looking forward to football season for months, he is going to be devastated that he can't play.

I'm sure Lou will update everyone over the next couple of days.

Now, just because my sister made of me......

ANGEL......OUT!!!

Tuesday Tidbits

I know, it's late! It's still Tuesday though. I'm still good for my post a day goal.

***** To ensure I received VM Season 2 from netflix I deleted my whole Q, but those discs! I'll put it all back later, but I wanted to make sure I didn't get something else.

*****I made a hair appt. for Thursday. I will be getting a cut and highlights, I so need this pick me up.

*****I went and got my eyebrows waxed today while on break at work. While I was gone another store manager called for me. My assistant told him, " She went to get her bush waxed". He about died laughing! Poor Kim, she had NO idea why. Yes, I did go get my BUSHY eyebrows waxed! Note to self.....Teach Kim More American Lingo........

*****I'm working on making some blog changes. Let me know if you like!

Angel..........Out!

Post a Day

My goal is this week is to post once a day. Will it work? I don't know? I'm going to try.

Do you know what tomorrow is?

THE DAY VERONICA MARS SEASON 2 COMES OUT ON DVD

I LOVE this show! I enjoy watching it with every ounce of my being. Veronica is the coolest outcast ever. She doesn't care what people say, or think. This season she gets back in with the "in crowd", but she's so not one of them. Could Logan Eckles be any cuter? I mean really, he's wearing an orange shirt...a man after my own heart. I have this on my Q with netflix, but it says "short wait". If they do not mail it to me tomorrow I'm afraid I might have to go buy it myself. How dare they make me wait one moment longer? I've been waiting since May as it is!

This mag ROCKS. It is full of quizzes and questions to ask your friends and loved ones. The quiz I gave the kids last week came from here. Lou brought it out on Saturday and we had SO much fun answering the questions. There are some really thought provoking ones in there too. BTW, I will be making a circle journal for all my friends with some of the questions for my friends. You do not have to do a circle journal, but I do want you to do a page in mine. If you live far away, I will mail it to you, and you can mail it back. If you do not scrapbook(you know who you are!), you can just use a pen to write in your answers. I really want a comprehensive book of my friends. All of them!

That's all Folks!
