okay, got it uploaded. If there are any links broken that I may have missed, please let me know so that I can fix it!Hubby is gone for the night. He drove almost 6 hours to go to his company's Christmas Party. I am glad I am not going. I always feel uncomfortable at those type of get togethers. First of all, I don't know anyone and second of all they talk about is work. Which is the oilfield and

My cats are crazy. I knew there was going to be trouble once I put up the Christmas Tree. The kitten is fascinated with the glass ornaments........so much so that she has broken just about all of them. Yesterday morning I woke up with a little ornament in my hand. Yes the crazy cat had carried one to the bedroom and placed one in my hand. The older male cat likes to scratch the wrapping paper off

God I am such a horrible mother. Why? you ask. Well when my son is ready for his morning nap I usually go and lay down with him in our bed. I am so tired and I think it may have something to do with this, but am not sure. I will have to talk to the Dr. about that. My son is sleeping through the night but I am not. Anyway on to why this morning was horrible and why I am a bad mother. While me and

2000-12-05T15:37:00.000-06:00

She showed up.......her car broke down that is the reason for her being late. I wish I had something interesting to say, but at the moment I don't. I just woke from a nap and my brain is mush at the moment, will be back to normal later on.......

We went to Toys R Us yesterday.........It was crazy I tell ya, just crazy. The parents were worse than the kids. I couldn't even get our buggy through the isles so I just had to sit in one spot while C went to get the gifts. We ended up spending close to $300.00 just at Toys R Us but you know what, I am not complaining because this year we are able to spend some real money on gifts. We are

Thank you and you!Hmmm, what to say what to say. Well I have been sick with a cold or something for almost the past week and a half and am just starting to feel better. I had a horrible headache, for the past three days and this morning when I woke up it was gone! It was so bad it felt like my head was going to explode or something (Really, it was that bad) I almost called Chris at work so that

Blogger is sllooooowwwwww today................Anyway nothing exciting going on over here to report, except that no one in the family has heard from my sis since my mom told her if she stays, she will have to leave her jerk of a boyfriend, so she left with him. I am worried about her and my nephew. My mom usually hears from her every two or three days but now it has been over a week *sigh* I hope

2000-11-10T04:09:00.000-06:00

I have been up since before 3am and I am blogging,eeerrrrrrrr. My baby has a little cough and is having trouble sleeping so here we are! Susan- I hope you are right.......She has been with him for 2 years now and she still puts up with his crap. She keeps saying that she is through with him but then she takes him back time after time *sigh* For you though I am glad you got out of the situation

Oh and for the record I do not normally curse, just when I am really,really pissed off and below was one of those moments.

2000-11-07T17:33:00.000-06:00

Oh yeah, I am thinking about making blogger templates for others to use............Maybe

2000-11-07T17:32:00.000-06:00

Warning: I need to vent!! Well my mom did it. She told off my sisters jerk of a boyfriend. He emotionally abuses her and has physically abused her. I love my sister and have begged her to leave him especially since they have a 9 month old together and he sees all of this. But yet she tells me time and time again that she "loves" him. How can she love someone who treats her as bad as he does.

2000-11-07T05:54:00.000-06:00

Man I can't believe I was up at 5:00 am, uuuuuggghhhh The kiddo doesn't even have school today either and here I am wide awake! Dammit...........And for some reason I got these childrens songs stuck in my head "here we go Looby Loo here we go Looby Li" and "Do you know the muffin man" AACCKKK!!! They play that commercial 20 times a day over here, the kids love it but I on the other hand..........

2000-11-06T14:57:00.000-06:00

Wow, I didn't realize it had been so long since I blogged. I guess you can say things have been pretty busy here, of course I am having fun in the van:O) Hubby on the other hand, I think is going through a midlife crisis and he is only 27, lol..........First off he wanted to dye the tips of his hair blonde, well didn't work out that way, he fell asleep with the dye in his hair and all of it is

2000-11-02T16:40:00.000-06:00

Yay!! I am so thrilled:O) We bought a new vehicle!! I was not getting in the car that we had so Chris decided that we might as well get a new car.....well it is not a car but a mini-van and a nice one. A Grand Caravan Sport fully loaded. I was really scared about learning to drive something bigger than the car but suprisingly it is easier than the car and I feel much safer. Well gotta go, Girl

2000-10-31T09:21:00.000-06:00

Awww thanks Deb:O) Well I find myself reading your blog everyday so I just had to link to ya! Yeap my sister's boyfriend thinks that he knows all.........I could go on all day about him. My sister was also put on medication for her anxiety (he is the reason she is the way she is) but anyway she was freakin out one day at my moms house and my mom asked if she was still taking her medicine and

I think the medicine is working for me. The happy pill. The pill for crazy people, as my sister's boyfriend put it. He said that in front of me not knowing that I take it. All I could say was "Well I guess I am one of those crazy people " He shut up.And no I do not like him. I feel sorry for him actually, but that is whole other story that I hate getting into. I am starting to feel like myself

2000-10-26T19:57:00.000-05:00

Added new blogger links and removed a few. Oh Lee I just love your new design!!! I wish I could come up with something like that:O)

2000-10-26T15:02:00.000-05:00

Wow! Thank you so much for the kind compliments!! I discovered your blog last week and was gonna say the same about your design:O) I also read your about me page and see that you are a huge fan of Rush? So am I!

I am already tired of looking at this layout,Blech........I need to redo it but have no idea how I want it to look. I swear I am never gonna be satisfied with the way this thing looks.......I won't be able to blog much today. Taking Nick to the Dr. for his 6 month check up then heading over to mom and dad's to celebrate my dad's b-day so I will pretty much be gone all day...........Oh by the way

2000-10-24T09:11:00.000-05:00

Bummer Yes my car is still broke, well it runs but there is no way I am getting in that car with my kids and the possibilty of breaking down again is there. Until my hubby looks at the car, nope nada the car is parked. Anyway I have to leave, going shopping for Halloween costumes for the kiddies. And my mom is bringing me, I want a new car!!! I do have more to blog about and will do that later.

2000-10-22T11:57:00.000-05:00

Breakdown,Breakdown!! I am so pissed.......Nope I am not having a mental breakdown. This morning on the way to the bank my shitty ass car broke down, at a four way stop no less. And guess who happens to be with me? ALL three kids. It is not like I am driving a lemon or anything, I mean my car is a '95 and will be paid off in May *sigh* Thank goodness I was in a neighborhood and had houses all

2000-10-20T14:12:00.000-05:00

Fungus Still Among Us... Yeap we still have ringworm, but I don't get it.......Just me and my younger daughter have it, everyone else in the house doesn't have it *sigh* And hopefully they won't get it I don't think hubby and kids will be going back to that church, the priest spoke in tongues or something and it kinda freaked him out. He might give it one more try, he doesn't know yet.

2000-10-18T20:28:00.000-05:00

The Plague.....at least in our house Okay baby is sleeping yet again and I am still alone. Oh I forgot too mention that we are plagued with ringworm, AAGGHHH! The whole family doesn't have it, just me and my youngest daughter. We have no idea where we got it. It is either from the new kitten or my nephew who had it about a month ago. So now we have to treat the animals and we are religiously

2000-10-18T20:01:00.000-05:00

Peace and Quiet Alone at last.....Well not really. The baby is here but he is sleeping. The moments when I am alone are few and very, I am talking very far between. So I thought I would relish these moments while I can and what better way than to blog:O) Hubby took the kids to church. Believe it or not but it is the kids first time at church. They are 7 years old and 4. I don't know why we never

2000-10-14T19:37:00.000-05:00

Thank you Betty for the hugs:O) I am doing good, all the medicine I am taking is maing me pretty groggy, reason for me not blogging in a few days. But anywhoooo.....Oh about the kitten, she was 5 weeks when we got her and very sick with pneumonia, but we took her to the vet and she is all better now:O) I am glad you liked the pictures!

2000-10-10T14:33:00.000-05:00

I went to the Dr. and my diagnosis was well what I thought it would be: Depression among a few other ailments that the Dr. prescribed medicine for. For the headaches/depression I have to start taking Zoloft. I have been denying that fact that I could be depressed but since this is the 3rd time in almost 3 years that I have been diagnosed with it well I guess I am, and what I don't understand is

2000-10-10T08:49:00.000-05:00

Well I am off to the Dr. in ohhhh about an hour, we will see what she has to say about my headaches and well everything else......Be back later:O)

I had a strange dream last night. It involved squirrels,old trailers with paintings on them and school buses.............Anyone care to enlighten me on what this may all mean?

2000-10-04T10:32:00.000-05:00

So I called the Dr.......Got an appt next week, we will see what kind of meds she puts me on this time, whatever it is I hope it works!

2000-10-04T09:51:00.000-05:00

Well I was debating weather to call my Dr. or not. I suffer from Chronic Headaches. It has been over a year since I have been to a Dr. for this because when I became pregnant I didn't have one damn headache and now I have been having one off and on for the past two months which is pretty typical of these types of headaches which are also called Tension or Stress related headaches. I have been on

Man I feel like such a bumbling fool sometimes when I am out shopping..........shopping for groceries, clothes you name it. I feel like everyone is staring at me. I am always dropping things and running into stuff. Not my fault mind you, a certain store keeps displays right smack in the middle of isles and I am just cruising along with baby in carrier attached to basket and my 4 year old on the

I can't believe how the weather has been in Louisiana. It is so nice! I was actually able to sit outside without breaking out into a sweat. The Cajun Air Festival is this weekend............not to thrilled about it since I live practically next to the airport. I have been to one airshow and that one ended in disaster and I swore to myself I would never go back to one. It was May 5,1996 and I was

I also believe ANY children in the custody of homosexuals ought to be taken away IMMEDIATELY, for

Hehehe, that sounds like me! I love animals esp. kitties. In fact I just got a 5 week old siamese a couple of days ago, a gift from Chris:O) So now I have two kitties, well one big fat cat that weighs about 15 lbs and he is trying to get used to the new family member. He is a giant compared to the little kitten, she only weighs maybe a pound. Yes, I would have a houseful of cats if I could.

My oldest daughter was sick Monday and then Chris was not feeling well for a couple of days, so something must be going around. I never mentioned this previously in a post, but my hair was down past the middle of my back

2000-09-25T06:41:00.000-05:00

If you are a regular reader well then you have probably noticed that I do not post much during weekends if at all. Reason being: I like to spend time with my family, simple enough right? This weekend though I was spending time with the toilet. ( Nope I won't get into any details.) Let me just say that Friday night into early Saturday morning I was sick, sick, sick. I really wanted to go to

okay so I totally screwed up my AOL account.How? You ask....well I downloaded the beta version of AOL 6.0 and everything started acting like shit after that. My AOL 5.0 went wacko and other software seems to be going bezerk also. Thank goodness I have Netzero installed... I had totally forgotten about it. So that is how I am online right now. I tried reinstalling AOL and it is giving me a heck of

My goodness I don't even know where to start......I have so much to say away from the computer and then when I get on it is like I forget everything that was on my mind. So I guess I will start with vacation- It was nice, granted I felt like I was doing more work than relaxing but ces't la vie. My mother in law said that she was going to help out by watching the baby while I did some relaxing but
