face.book has won me over

I do believe that I have turned into a face.book junkie and I have neglected my blog far too long. Since my last post we have been camping once on the 24th of July. The boys had swimming lessons and I started a new med that pretty much felt like chemo. I puked more than I care to count. But my body has finally (hopefully) adjusted (14 pounds later).
The boys started school on the 25th of August and I also started back to work. It is super hard to go back to work after three months off but it has been nice too. I also applied for a new position again :) I probably won't get this one because I know their kitchen situation and I am pretty sure she is going to hire one of the ladies that is already in her kitchen. But I still felt like I needed to apply because I am hoping they will get the hint and will keep seeing my name and give me a shot. The jobs I applied for in May all went to ladies already in their kitchens. It really sucks because I should have first dibs because I am a contracted employee and contracted employees should technically be looked at first but I know they bend the rules in their favor alot.
Also this summer we found out my hubby has Diabetes. Totally shocked us but he is doing well with controlling it and I am proud of him for taking it by the horns and really trying to be healthy. He has also been going to physical therapy for his back and has seen some good improvements and he is really taking it seriously and doing his home exercises faithfully. He works so hard for our family and I love and appreciate him so much.
I am not sure if anyone reads my blog anymore but if anyone does and wants to be friends on facebook let me know.

Birthday wishes!!!

Ten years old....Crazy how time flies. I just wanted to write a simple post wishing my sweet angel a happy birthday. Happy Birthday baby we miss you so much!

Bummer

Well I never got an interview for those jobs that I applied for. I am a little disappointed but I will keep on keepin on :) I will just keep on trying until I get what I ultimately want.

We have had a busy week. If you are on my facebook you already know this. On Tuesday we went to our summer movie and then we had Adams baseball game that evening. On Wednesday me and my boys went on a hike in the morning and then the little boys started coach pitch that evening. On Thursday we went to the zoo and in the evening we went to another one of Adams games. Today I woke up and my eyes were glued shut and I couldn't breath. I am thinking I have spent too much time outside and my allergies have gotten the best of me. I hope its just allergies and not a sign of something worse to come.

Next week will be a busy one too :)

I did it....

I decided to apply for those jobs. It will stay posted until Tues and hopefully I will hear from them soon after that. I am keeping my fingers crossed but I am not keeping my hopes up. I am happy where I am at right now and if I don't get the job than I will just stay where I am and try again another time. So anyway I will let you know if I get an interview.

End of the school year!!

I am coming up on the last week of school and then I will be out of work for the summer. Good thing is I still get a paycheck while I have the summer off. I am looking forward to this time off with the boys. I am going to try to keep them busy with fun activities and hopefully I will be better at blogging too.

As far as work goes I am trying to decide whether or not to apply for another position in another school. I love where I am at but the job pays alot better than what I am making right now. Its just hard to leave where I am because I am happy where I am at. What if I take the other position and I hate it there? This is my dilemma right now. Also the fact that I have only worked for my district for a year makes me wonder if they would even consider me.

As far as the kids go they are all doing great. Deshawn is doing so well in school they have taken away almost all of his extra services. This is such a great thing. He will still get assistance in Math and Speech but he went from getting 4 hours of extra services a day to only 30 min a day for math and 30 min 2 times a week for speech. It just makes me so happy to see him doing so well. Parker is right on track and Adam is doing great as well. Infact I had a sneak peek at Adams grades and they are better than they have been all year. He so far has all A's and one B. We will have to see for sure next week when we get report cards.

Anyway I will let you all know what I decide on the job thing.

Happy Easter!!!

I know, I know I have been a very bad blogger but I had a second so I decided to post a pic of the easter loot. I was a bad mom and didn't get any still shots of them with their easter stuff so I only have a pic of their loot :) I did camcorder them so I do have that but I will save you from watching that lengthy thing.

Pure randomness!

I thought it would be fun to post some random photos on here. I might have already put some of these on here at one time or another so forgive me if I did. While I was going through these it reminded me of how fast time flies...

The new year!

This has been one crazy year for us. We are sooooo looking forward to this new year. Hopefully we can work on getting out of the debt we got ourselves in debt trying to stay afloat this year. We were almost completely out of debt at the beginning of this year and now it is just pitiful where we are. But we have great plans to dig ourselves out now I have a steady job that has insurance and hopefully this year will bring more side jobs for Rick because that is where he makes alot of money. The year before last he had a side job every month this year he has had 2 all year. So everyone cross your fingers for good things to come.

On my last post I mentioned they were going to put me on a monitor that would read my bloodsugars constantly for a week. Well my insurance company has other ideas. I have to do some hardcore testing at home and show them my records and then "they" will decide if that is what I need. I guess they figure they are the doctors. Anyway so I will be doing that for a couple weeks and then I will have to wait until the insurance decides if it is necessary.

The kids are doing great and we have really enjoyed our christmas break. We had a great Christmas and the kids were spoiled rotten. I even heard a couple of times that this was best Christmas ever. So all in all I think they had a great christmas. We are sad to be seeing our break coming to an end.
