Pictures

Hi

Just thought Id add some pictures of things that happened or we've actually done as a family which isn't alot over the past year. Me and my husband both work days I get home at 5 and then its housework,laundry,dinner and maybe homework and then my husband gets home at 7 he works six days a week with only one day off.So there isnt alot of fun and we dont spend much of it together as a family :( at times I get mad about. We didnt do a vacation this summer since we had to move but the kids went upnorth her Grandma and didnt take a camera,yes I was quite pissed off about that.I did plan an awesome birthday party for them though in August that turned out pretty great. Well here are some sences I need to get dressed and take hubby to work. Wish me luck on garage sales today gonna go spot out what we can find. Have a great weekend! *Muchs*

Ok I guess we've done alot within even this past year :) And every bit was a blast !

Moving Again

Hi, How is everyone?  Some news I have to share.... We're moving again into Dearborn this Sunday and the kids luau birthday party is next weekend plus were going on a small vacation in August.Me.husband are doing well we had some problems but weve sorted them out. I dont know why I always pile things on in a small time with planning everything at a time. I can't believe that summer is almost over where does the time go. Two of our kids have been going to a summer camp during the afternoon they have seem to like and start middle school in Sept. I'm still working in the same area for over an year now and my husband has worked with the same company for 6-7 months (which is a record for him). How was your 4th of July? Mine was great spend with the kids.my husband and family with fireworks,pardaes,bbq. My mom is doing well she turned 65 this past May and still works fulltime she is always there when we need her. I have adopted three kittens a few months back which are now an year old and the puppy I got for my husband back in March they have grown from kittens and have they own  ways but they are all spoiled. Well I wanted to stop by and say "Hi' and hope to hear from some of you who are still journal'ing these days. If you have any luau party ideas please send them my way. Thanks much. Take care have a great summer, Sara

Still around

Good Morning!

Yes,I am still here and doing pretty well. Its been some time passed since I last wrote so I thought I'd come in and update and check in with some pals on here We have some good and bad in the past few months. I'm still working fulltime at my office job. My husand finally went back to work after three months of looking. The kids are doing well in school, they are off for Easter vacation so stayin with Grandma this week. I still have the three kittens they recently were fixed (not all three were girls lol) and I've adopted a puppy whos 8 months old we have some issues there and he chases the cats all over the house. We still live in the same place and still tryin to get things in order with decor/painting. My mom lost a really good friend,suddenly,to liver failure three weeks ago and found out her sister had sugery to remove cancer-cells. I had a car accident back in December while driving in the snow into a cement wall,everyone was fine but I screwed up my truck and we have been unable to get it fix still... costing somewhere in the market of $400-900 dollars. Our christmas was good I made dinner & had my mom over and Easter we went out with family after opening baskets. I'm lookin to move into a bigger place and closer to my mom right now were about 15 min drive from her. Still we moved out in January 2007 we've gotten along alot better  hanging out,going shoppin and catching lunch together. But she has mentioned about us moving back home, I can't, I know it disappoints her but I like living in my own place and being on my own and supporting our family. I started to believe its something everyone needs to do we've been on our own for over an year now. My husband turned 32, March 1  I had his mom and stepdad over for cake/ice cream and then we went out to dinner  (anytime there is free food his family is there). In August,  I'am throwing a huge birthday bash for our two daughters with friends and family... and I really hope that all turns out and the kids enjoy it. I cant stand the girl I work with..well its his niece...when she started she was supposed only work Saturday and Sunday and now she comes in everday after 4 pm I am usually gone but she had to have family help to get into their trailor they got kicked out of the house they supposedly shared with a friend her boyfriend hasnt worked in five years(heis an drunk), I swear these people are a huge joke they have no idea what life is really like.... and I cant stand her. My boss/her uncle is out of town for three months and they have broke the garage door,sliding wooden door and two bikes I'm really hoping she wont be here much longer and she is always asking for a ride...but already owns me for gas so I won't no longer. Someone needs to kick her in the azz and give them a real look at life where no one is there to help them and they need to figure things out on their own but am not related nor care so I'm not getting anything with her life. I think thats about all that has been going on lately with me. I hope to hear from you and have a good day! Everyone have a great weekend,stay warm!

Just Life

Good Morning

Well here am again up this early and up at work but this is my last day of the week. Thankfully cause it's payday and am really tired. How has everyone been doing? We're good and things have been great desprite working alot. The new place is very good am still moving things around and gettin settled in. Over the past two weeks we've adopted three kittens,they are so adorable they are 11 and 10 weeks. Pumpkin is orange and white, Shadow is all black and Pretty is gray. They are all very loving and all females lol. The kids are great and all doing well in school, they are in the same school from when they started there back in January. Make some new friends with the new year. I've decided to go back to school and get my high school dimpola so am working on it at home when I can. My husband has been  out of work for almost 2 months he lost his job just before we moved so I've been on my own. He has a job interview today so with fingers crossed wish us luck. We seen our friends from Indiana last Saturday they came up to Michigan and got married,  had a great beautiful wedding with friends &family is was alot of fun. I havent seen my mom since last weekend funny she has not called this week. She has had some heath problems lately. She has high blood pressure, developed diabetes and now she has micofibers show on her mammogram which the doctors are watching, am concerned because her dad past away from cancer but I very much worry about  her. She still works fulltime on midnights as an CNA. She has had that job for over 26 years since I was 4. How was everyones summer? Mine was good,we did alot. We went upnorth for the weekend (havent been there in three years), my oldest daughter turned 10, got married again in July, and then moved in August. I wanted to try and get back to Mackinaw City with the kids well maybe next summer. But here comes the holidays, ugh! Looks like we'll spend halloween in the new place but am not complaining I love halloween and will decorate my own place lol. I think my mom is gonna come over and pass out candy while we take the kids around the neighborhood as we did at her house every year but she doesnt want to do anything since we arent there. I'm very excited to do xmas though. We were always living with my mom so we didnt have our own tree and christmas morning will be strange not having her there though. Thanksgiving, I've not decided either am making dinner for us and having my mom over or just going to Cracker barrel and will probably invite her to come. Any weekend plans? I think we're gonna stayin in, order pizza and watching some movies I rented on Monday. We just havent had the time to watch them (wicked little things,dark corners) Saturday, we are gonna hit the flea market we havent been there in two weeks and were excepting hot weather here in September!? what??? Supposed to be between 80-85  (lucky we have two-three air conditioners that came in the house) but keeps the house pretty cool. And when its cool outside I open the windows and a breeze comes through and airs out the house. Its alot better than living in a trailor those are such a source of heat I guess  now thats why they have central ac in them today. But am glad to be out of that area and away from those people they were something. Well I need to get going back to work but I hope to hear from everyone. Have a great weekend-           Take care and keep in touch      Much love Sara

Feeling Silly

Witches !?!

Hi

With Halloween around the corner it only seems right ti post this now....... Halloween is actually my favorite time of year along with the season. I help my kids get dressed up and I decorate the front yard with graves,bodies,etc always pass out candy, and watch scary movies on tv.

But has anyone even wondered about witchcraft,spells and have you even met a real witch? I don't mean like on Wizard of Oz.  There are alot of stories from all around about them and whom haunts the forests, Salem witch trials I've always been interested in. Witches date back to the 1800's and for years have always been made to sound bad and evil. The Wiican religion has been made to sound evil and have to do with the devil, which it doesn't. Movies make it out to be worse than it really is.

I ask if you have even met a real witch because....Me.husband have been for an year now we even got married in July called a handfasting which was awesome and something to go see if you get invited to one.. We got involed with it from a friend when we had a booth in Taylor town trade center he sells jewerly (go visit him if you even go in) he was born into it and even has his own coven. No we don't stand around a bowl of steaming boiling frog and toads and chant spells. Most do spells in the comfort of their homes. We haven't gotten too far into the spells thang but what we have done has worked. We all get together for a gathering once a month and just have a huge pot luck. 

Our belifes are real as yours and we call to the God & Goddness for help or advice as you would. Halloween is normally New year as we celebrate it with a party last year was awesome and we want to go again I'll post pictures if we get to go again.

 But the whole wiccan thang isn't farpassed as it used to be and for sure isnt hidden as it has been back then because it was a bad thang if anyone found out you were a witch or pratice spells. If you ever see (as we wear) the pendant with five points dont worry that isnt anything bad it just protects us from what we believe in or from the bad that may come around. It quite isnt much like on Charmed, where they fight demons or have special powers though sometimes I wish I did. It's just if you believe in what you can and make it happen as anything in life.

Well am not gonna scare you anymore lol if you have any questions or want to know more please leave me a comment and I'll do my best to awsner them or get the advice I need to pass on.  Have a good day take care.

It's been awhile

Hello....

I bet y'all surprised to see me around here it's been a couple months. And things are going good. We're still living in Melvindale where we moved from my moms back in late January. Me.my husband are doing great we just got married again July 15 with family and friends cause we just went down to the courthouse. We had a nice wedding outside in a local park and we rented a hall for the reception where we made our own food (I do advice against that idea). but it was all worth it. I started working again about two months ago as a data entry and my husband works midnights. I am talking to my mom again she even came to the wedding and our daughters birthday party this past weekend. The kids go over and spend the weekend with her when she's off work. My husbands sugery back in Sept went fine he has a pretty good scar but has healed well and he still has to go see his blood doctor for his levels but in good health otherwise. He has signed up to go into the Reserves so we'll see how that goes with me and the kids at home alone. I hope we have some family around if help is needed. But before we have plans this weekend to go out and have dinner and a movie while the kids are with Grandma. Two weeks ago we drove up north for the weekend, it was very nice because we havent been up there in three years so we missed the beach,lighthouse and spend most of the vacation swimming on the beach. We want to move up there someday real soon we love the area,small town and people.

So what has everyone been up too? I found out I have missed out on much from my friends journals on here. But it's been hertic in the past couple months and I tend to work alot for I can have weekend off with my husband.kids...

Well, I hope to hear from you all. And I will be back to make another entry

Have a great weekend. Take care.Keep in touch    Sara

SPRING!!!

Happy Spring! But where is it ???? Here in Michigan we're having crazy weather as always. Past two days we had a great warm weather but then last night we got more snow and it's only 40 outside.Ummm did someone take it I want it back

Can't wait to go on long walks with the kids in the parks and play on the swings just hang out and take some new pictures. We've been just fine in our new place I've talked to my mom a few times and our three kids have spend the weekends with her. Our oldest daughter caught strip throat and was off school for three days (include the weekend) in there but shes back at school and feeling better.

Our place is lookin like a home.. We have new couch,kitchen table,beds and just got one dresser where I put the kids clothes into. And thank god everyone has their own tv. The explorer is still running very good no major problems (knock on wood) but I am once again a stay at home mom. But my husband has the job thing covered so I am stayin home more with the kids. I worked for three months,being home again is a big difference. Anyone have Easter plans?

I think we're having our own Easter,maybe just goto Cracker barrel for dinner with the kids. And visit my inlaws depends who's house it will be at this year. My moms on the phone (right now) she wants our three kids to spend the night this weekend. We'll have to see what happenes because we havent yet got much out of her house since we moved out two months ago. Well I won't go down that road again. Ok...I need to get dinner together...everyone have a great weekend

Just leaving an update that we're all doing alright... Bye

New news!

Hello Everyone !!

Yes, I am still around. Alot of things has changed as I read in everyones journal so has  theirs. Well, let's see. Our christmas went great and we just stayed home for dinner with my mom and three kids. My husband surgery back on Sept 29th went really well. He stayed a week in the hospital and I ran back and fourth finally he was discharged Oct 7. He is doing really well, still has some blood problems that he's on medication for And went back to work after christmas but they were only giving him one day a week. Then we found out his pay was cut so it wasnt worth keepin it. So he quit over a week ago. He has been taking care of the kids lucky because they had two snow days last week...but yesterday he just got hired and has another job and I have got a job just before xmas working, part time so I still have time to be busy at home too,lol.

As for my mom who I have spoke about before... Me,my husband and three kids have moved out of her house. My mother inlaw and his sister have helped us get into our new place. Its 2 bedroom and the kids have there own room. I dont know where we'd be without them. Yes my mom has helped us alot in the past but finally differences fell through. Right now I don't care to speak with her. We're alright on our own.....

Did you hear? The groundhog didnt see it's shawdow so I am still waiting on this warm weather to start coming in. Thank God we get rid of the snow,ice... and maybe the cold weather didnt harm everything that started to grow. As in past entries I put about my newphew passing away in Detroit. Well, his girlfriend still keeps in touch with the family and his daughter was born just before Thanksgiving,she's beautiful! I have seen pictures but not yet gotten the chance to met her. I would like too. I will have to add pics on here and no I haven't been able get the ones from chrsitmas developed. It's surprsing sunny here today but it is still chilly and there is still snow on the ground, maybe the sun will melt it all for once. Does anyone have plans for Valentines day? I do need to get myhusband a card. But his birthday is comin up on Mar 1,he will be turning 31. I was thinking of having some family over for cake,ice cream we'll have to see. Wow it's finally quite in the house, two girls are watching cartoons and my son is playin video games. I do however have no one to talk too. No friends online, and hubbys at work...I am thinkng about takin a nap but I do need a shower, and get dressed.                       Well I guess I am gonna go ... everyone have a GREAT weeked! Take care....

Happy Holidays

Good Morning!  Well I hope everyone is ready for Christmas since it is next weekend. We're just sitting around the house and relaxing it was a busy week. We went to an outdoor flea market and sold some video games because it was nice. We've been present shopping for two weeks and I still don't feel ready plus I need to get grocies for dinner.

Some news: Three weeks ago our car,91 sunbird stopped running so it was towed to a local garage which cost $185 to fix but driving the thing home it started overheating needless to say it couldnt be driven it when it was taken to be checked by the house and they wanted $300 the plug to hold the anti-freeze came out. But there are other things wrong...the muffler and brakes needs replaced,oil leaks. So we had to let it go... we rented a car that was very nice 2007 Cobalt but that had to go back Friday we however had alot of fun with it the past week we took the kids up to Frankenmuth and took some new pictures. The day before we're lucky enough to find a 1997 Blck Ford Explorer it's an awesome car....  I will have to add pictures of it. Someone has been looking out for us.. because my husband who had to leave work on medical reason back in Sept finally has his job back not in the bakery when he left but the same company where he started which is fine with us and Me well I have a brand new job that I start this week. And this Christmas should end up being terrific for the kids we have lots of presents. No plans though.... My mom is going over her brothers house this Saturday. Sunday we're supposed to go for early dinner at Cracket barrel and then Christmas Day I am making a ham dinner at home. ::jumping around:: I don't have to see my in-laws this year. The kids are going out for a two week vacation this week but they do have some field trips first. Our son is going to, Space Musume and the youngest is going with her class to see Charlotte Web. Our other daughter already went with Grandma when it came out, Friday. We also took the kids last week to see "Happy feet" and "Flushed away" they were both good movies....

Well alright I think I'll end here I need to get ready and finish shoppin without the kids. Have a good day... take care

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year !
