Taking It Back

A long time to talk to you!

2007-07-20T17:12:00.000-07:00

It has been so long since I posted I don't know where to even start. I have started a new job, which I like ok. It is alot more stressful, I sometimes wonder what I have done going there but it is ok. I work at the court house in General Sessions. You learn alot about what goes on in the county. It can be very interesting.

My health has been ok. The meds I take still makes me very irritable and makes me feel bad at times. I am seriously thanking about quit taking it. It is hard to decide to quit something they scare you into taking.

Delaney is really growing up. She will be 4 this year. She is a smart little girl. Sara is going to be a senior this year. I picked up her senior pictures and felt really proud of her. She has grown up so fast. I hope that she really excels next year in school.

So does anyone still read this? we will see!

FRIDAY!!!!

2007-03-09T13:08:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone! I hope your week has went well. Mine has been pretty good. Today Cheryl and I have been in a weird mood. We have been messing with each other all day.

It has been a beatiful day. It has been in the late 60's and lower 70's here. But it is suppose to rain on Sat. though.

Scott's uncle who had bladder cancer and his bladder taken out found out that his cancer has spread. Man what do you tell someone that is faced with that? Pray for him and his family. It puts life in perspective doesn't it!

Pray for you children and youth of our church. They are faced with so much more than we ever were! I am learning that being a mother of 1 teenager and 2 younger children.

I am going to get to see a good friend tomorrow that was dx with breast cancer that moved to Texas. She is really young around 33. She was dx with inflamatory breast cancer which is a very aggressive type of cancer and people usually survive about 2 years, but God has done a miracle in her life. She has done a new kind of chemo and her tumor has shrunk awhole lot and her nodes are also clear and she is going to get to have surgery which is usually unheard of. Isn't God Great!!!!

Well it is a slow day today! So I am going to sit back and relax!

Hello

2007-03-07T06:11:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone! I know you have wondered where I was. Well I am still here working away. I am at work at the moment. Things are going ok. Delaney is still going to Ms. Barbara's, she likes it alot, and she is adjusting to it very well. She is growing really fast.

Chloe just got finished with her upwards basketball. I really enjoyed this year, she had great coaches. We had a game where we played the kids, I was huffing, but I had fun. I wanted to get rough alittle but I had to remember they were kids. I did have to tell one girl that she isn't suppose to touch me, she kept fouling me and I didin't like it.

Scott is still working days at Nissan, there has been alot of rumors there lately, because they didn't get there bonus,(not a promised one) If they do better than the year before they get a bounus, but because they didn't (which happends sometimes)everyone is talking doom and gloom. That is the short version. Scott I think really gets tired of hearing it, and when he tries to encourage they call him a company man. He is just speaking the truth.

Pray for him!
Well I guess I need to get to work, I will try and blog some later.

Hello all!!

2007-01-26T13:59:00.000-08:00

Hello all! I know it has been a long time since I posted. I have been in a slump I guess you could say. I have also been busy. I have a sore throat right now. I have had it for about 2 weeks. It was getting better and then got worse again. I am going to see how it goes and if it is worse monday I will go to the dr. I had a appointment for today at 7:00pm. But I can't do that. The girls have a party to go to and I just can't work it out.

Church has been going real well. We are looking to build a bigger everything. People are coming from everywhere it seems. I just have to keep my mind focused on peoples souls and not just numbers. God is really working in our church. I can't wait to tell you the great things he is going to do this year.

My mom hasn't had to start dialyisis yet. She had a thingy put in her arm. I guess she is just now waiting. I am hoping that she won't have to do it and a miracle of God takes place and she is cured, but whatever happens I will be there for her.

I got to talk to one of my long time friends last night!Diane. It was so good to hear from her. She lives in Ga now and her kids are totally grown up. When I last saw them they were still little. Now they are all Teenagers except for Savannah Grace. She is 3. I hope to see them all soon.

Well I am at work and I need to get off the puter. :(

Hey

2006-12-18T14:01:00.000-08:00

I figured I would post in blue, since that is how I feel. There is no good reason why I feel blue, but I know tomorrrow will be better. :)

We have been going alot lately and I feel like I am getting burned out. We got to this function and that. Man what about resting at home. How do you have time to teach your kids anything if you are always on the go. I know mom what you are going to say :)

I colored Sara's hair yesterday a red color. She loves it. It looks pretty. they say she looks more like me :)

Well I will let ya know what Santa brings hehe.

ITS BEEN A WHILE!

2006-12-16T16:33:00.000-08:00

I KNOW IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I HAVE POSTED. IT HAS BEEN REALLY BUSY AROUND HERE. IT IS 2 WEEKS UNTILL CHRISTMAS. ARE YOU ALL READY? I WENT SHOPPING TODAY AND WAS READY TO GO HOME SHORTLY AFTER. I REALLY DON'T LIKE LARGE CROWDS ANYMORE. I GUESS I AM GETTING OLD.

DELANEY IS DOING WELL AT THE BABYSITTER. SHE USUALLY GOES WITHOUT EVEN FUSSING. I STILL FEEL GUILTY LEAVING HER. I AM GOING TO TAKE A DAY OFF WHEN CHERYL COMES BACK FROM MATERNITY LEAVE. SHE HAD A CUTE LITTLE GIRL NAMED LAUREN RUTH HOWELL. I KNOW IT IS GOING TO BE HARD FOR HER TO LEAVE HER. HER MOTHER IN LAW IS GOING TO BE KEEPING HER.

WELL I DON'T HAVE ALOT TO SAY. I HOPE YOU ARE ALL DOING WELL. I NEED TO GO AND GIVE DELANEY A BATH. ;)

2006-11-07T14:50:00.000-08:00

Hey! I know you all are wondering what the suprise was last week. It wasn't much. I put a big I mean BIG smokey blow up dog in my yard and told him there was someone strange was in the yard. For all of you who don't know, that is the Tennessee Vols mascot. He liked it.:) even though we lost that game. :(

We are getting ready to do our Christmas musical . It is going to be different.

Delaney went to the babysitters today without crying and saying don't leave me. Yeah!!!! She is growing up so fast.

Well Christmas is approaching and I have no idea what to get the kids. Any ideas. I know Sara wants a base guitar! Whatever!!!

I hope you all have a good day!

HEY!!!

2006-11-03T12:44:00.000-08:00

How is everyone today? Well I hope. I am at work at the moment (sssshhh) We have been really busy, but we have slowed down at the moment. Everybody gets their check at the first of the month so they come and pay there insurance.

Its FRIDAY! I have a suprise for Scott in the morning, but I am not going to say just in case he reads this. I want him to be suprised.

My husbands uncle just had his bladder taken out and yesterday he had a mild heart attack. Just keep him in your prayers. I think he is going to be ok.

Tomorrow the ensemble at church is goin to sing, and I am not ready to sing this song. I don't feel confidant at all about it. Some of the girls( I won't name names) Aren't hitting some of the notes. If you go to church with me just plug your ears. Man I hate getting up in front of people and making a idot of myself.

Well I guess I will go for now. Work Calls :)

Hey

2006-11-02T15:44:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone! I hope this finds you well. (Delaney get out of the Dog food) She likes to feed the dogs even when they don't need it. She is doing better at ms Barbs house. I think she really likes it there. She came home and helped me make Kool-aid. She thinks she is so big. For her birthday she wants a cake with a picture of herself on it. hehe. I think that is funny.

I am staying busy at work. Cheryl the girl I work with is fixing to be leaving to have a baby and I will be there by myself thru the holidays. What fun:) I hope it won't be to hectic.

Sara and Chloe are doing well, They are staying busy with school and church, they are really growing up too. I hope Sara will get her braces soon. She will look so good when they come off.

Scott is fixing to go back on 8 hours, Ienjoy the paycheck but I do miss him when he isn't here.

We are planning for the holidays I love this time of year. I hope you all have a great time.

Hello I am still Here!!!

2006-10-28T04:58:00.000-07:00

Yes I am still here! I know it has been a long time since I blogged. I haven't felt the urge to really, I feel like I am so busy who has time to sit and blog. With me working 8 to 5 and having to do church stuff and teenage stuff and 3 year old stuff and 11 year old stuff. I don't have time for 37 year old stuff if you know what I mean.

Delaney woke up this morning aout 5 am. She was complaining about her ears hurting some. She had the croup about 3 weeks ago and I have taken her to the dr. 2 and she is better but I think the sinus junk maybe has given her a ear ache. On monday when I took her to the dr. the dr. said her ears looked good, so maybe its the beginning of a infection. He gave me a antibodic and told me to use my own descression(spelling?) in using it. I told him I don't like to just give her medicine just for the fun of it. But this has seemed to linger on so I think I will fill the presciption today. I did give her some zyrtec and ibuprohen and she hasn't complained anymore. It is so hard to know what to do at times.

Last week we had revival for 3 nights and on thurs we had to take Chloe to basketball tryouts and last night we ate out! It is really hard to keep things together with our week full of things. I really need to seek God on this. I need prayer. I am failing as a mom and wife I feel. I can't seem to get it together the way I need to! If I just do things for everyone else and not for God it is in vain. I think sometimes we have too much for our kids. "They" say that you need to spend time with your family and the church has so much for kids to do, all I see my kids is in the car it feels like. That is why I need much needed guidance in my life. I need to get my prioritys straight.

I think our support group if fixing to fizzle. There really isn't much interest in it. I really wanted to help people with it, but I can't make them come. I do help others more just one on one I guess. So maybe that is my support group, just not what I had in mind!

Delaney is going to Ms. Barbs. house during the week. She likes it. She usually cries when we leave the house and it breaks my heart.(usually with her saying don't leave me) but when I call and check on her she is having a great time. I am such a sucker!!!! She will tell me on the phone. "I am a big girl" and when she leaves she tells ms barb I will come back, but when the next day comes she seems to forget the fun she had. I think it is really a seperation issue. It is harder on me than her I can promise you that!

I decided to write this in orange in honor of UT. They beat Alabama last weekend and are doing pretty good. They are alot better than last year. I don't know if you like football or not, but if you actually watch it and learn what is going on it is really fun.

Well I am going to go for now. I have to get ready to go to Nashville today, Scotts uncle Dan had his bladder taken out. (cancer) and we are going to visit him today. I just have meet Scott at my moms he went for his massage!!! Lucky guy! I need one myself.

Almost Friday!!!!!!

2006-10-05T15:39:00.000-07:00

This month is Breast Cancer Awarness month, and I want you all to be aware, hehe. But seriously, when you are looking at things to support and you see that if you buy this they will contribute so much to the breast cancer cause, beaware of how much they are really giving,or are they just wanting to sell more product under the name of giving. So pay attention to that.

I have had a busy week. Work has been hectic. It is suppose to the slow time of year, but it hasn't been. I guess I should be thankful for my job and just go with the flow.

I am suppose to goto the Oncologist (Cancer dr) on the 16th. I will let you know how it goes. I am going to ask him about how long I will have to take meds and Would a hysterectomy help me. etc. I hate taking this tamoxifin and blood thinners. I just want it to be done.

Delaney is going to a different baby sitter and seems to being doing great. I still feel guilty for leaving her. It doesn't get easier at all. I feel bad for working and I feel bad if I don't. What is a girl to do. I just want to do the right thing.

I am looking forward to the holidays. I love this time of year. Scott has went on 9hours a day. I hate that he has too but the extra money sure is nice. We don't hardly get to see each other. and the weekends are so hectic. I am thankful that he has a good job though.

We are getting ready for our Christmas Musical. I think it is going to be fun. We are going to wear the same thing. it should be really pretty . The guy will have vest on and we are going to have glittery tops (blue) That is so we can wear them for other things also.

Well I need to go and clean or make supper or somthing. :) God Bless you!

Hi

2006-09-30T05:35:00.000-07:00

Hello! I know it has been a while and you are saying it is about time! :) I have just been so busy.

Delaney went to a new lady to stay with this week and she did good. Yeah!! She still cries when I leave her, but when I call she is fine and I can hear her playing. I hope it keeps working out.

Today we are taking the kids to the fair, and I am suppose to go to a baby shower at 2:00 to 4:00. I wonder if it would be rude just to drop off the present. I will probably go. My friend doesnt' have a lot of friends here and I know how it is when nobody shows up for things.

Work is ok. Yesterday it was really busy and I was there by myself. I hardly had any free time and I didn't get to take a lunch.

See yall later

Hey

2006-09-25T18:18:00.000-07:00

Hey! I know that it has been a while since I have blogged. I haven't really felt like it. I have been working alot and have been busy so I don't have alot of free time. I am taking Delaney to a different lady this week. Cross your fingers. I hope this works out better than the last.

Work has been ok. I stay tired alot. The fair is this week. I like going and seeing people I haven't in a while. I enjoy talking with people if you don't know me.

We are going to have our cancer support group next month. You are saying what is different about that? Well we are going to open it up to anyone with cancer. We were just a Breast cancer support group. But we felt like we were limiting ourselves and we want to help anyone who has cancer. I hope people will come. It isn't only for people who have cancer, but for anyone who has to deal with it in anyway.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JONATHAN!

2006-09-09T13:03:00.000-07:00

Today is my nephew Jonathans birthday! He is 4. He is growing up so fast. I love you Jon Jon. I really love Jonathan he is a sweetheart. He really loves bologna Like Delaney :) He loves to play and make a mess. He looks just like his mommy! ~~I wish I had a pic to post.~~

I know it has been a while since I posted. I have been really busy. I started working full time so I don't seem to have as much time to do anything. But we are going to be able to pay off some bills and get out of debt. YAHOOO.

We just got back from East Tennessee. We stayed in a Chalet in Gatlinburg. It was really nice. We went to the Tennessee Foot ball game. We had a blast. We kicked Cal States butt!

Delaney will be starting pre school hopefully this next week. Scotts mom has been watching her and she loves it there, but I think it really makes them tired.

School has started back and Sara is in the 11th grade and Chloe is in the 6th grade. My goodness they are growing up. When Scott and I got together Sara was 10 and Chloe was 5. Where has the time gone?

Today we are going to Scotts Parents house to watch the Tennessee Vols ball game. I hope they win. We are going to watch it on high definition television. That is really nice.

Well there isn't much else going on. the kids are watching me type this and they want on the computer I think. Bwwwhaaaaa!!!!

Hump Day!

2006-08-23T05:18:00.000-07:00

Hey! I know it has been awhile since I posted. Well as you can see below that "Relay for Life" went well. Our small county raised around $70,000. I think that is pretty good. We worked really hard.

Yesterday at work our computers went out and our air conditioner went out. Yuck! Well it wasn't that bad, they said I could go home if I wanted. So I did :) I caught up on some house work. I hate to loose that money but I really needed to get some stuff done around the house. I have a hard time keeping things going. I get really overwhelmed with a big mess. I just don't know where to start.

Well Delaney is doing well. She is fixing to go to Ethridge Preschool. I am waiting for the call. I hope she likes it there. Her other day care situation didn't work out.

I want to loose weight. I hope I can do it. I am going to try and get on a schedule and go to the gym. We will see!!
wish me luck!!!!!!

2006-08-13T17:09:00.000-07:00

Hi, this is Becky, briefly taking over Jenn's blog to share this picture with you from last nights Relay For Life. You can see a larger version plus more by clicking the picture below.

Hump Day!

2006-08-09T06:06:00.000-07:00

Hey all! It is finally Wed. Church day! One of my favorite days of the week. Yesterday my newphews came to town. Oh how I miss them. I feel like I am missing the important times in there life. My neices too! I wish they lived close. I may just have to have them spend the night some weekend! I don't want to be some stranger to them.

Well tomorrow I take Delaney to her first day with Ms. Marilyn. I hope and pray it goes well. I am sure it will. It is just hard letting go I guess. I am always harpen about Delaney sleeping in my bed, but I am the one who goes gets her! So I guess I have a real soft spot! I think when she starts with her new sitter I may just tell her she is big now and she has to sleep by herself! She has been potty training pretty good. I am very proud of here.

Relay for life is this Sat. I hope that I see all my friends there! Hey if you are going to eat out anyways that would be a could place to come, plus you will have some entertainment plus you will be giving to the Amercan Cancer Society at the same time! If you do come visit our booth. We are selling BBQ(from Ricks for those who are in Lawrenceburg) And there will be deserts and other cool stuff. See ya there!!!!

2006-08-08T06:15:00.001-07:00

Hey all! It is another day in the Springer house! I have had this silly headache for about 3 days now. It isn't a bad headache, just enough to annoy me. I have been thinking lately how I would like to live in a bigger house. Well it isn't that I don't like what I have I would just like more room. I was thinking that adding on would be just as good. We could build a room onto where our carport is and then add a sun room and carport. And I would also like to take down our wall betweent the living room and kitchen to open it up. Our living room is really narrow. I don't know if that will ever happen but its a dream!

The relay for life is this Sat. I am really looking forward to it. But I am alittle ready to get it over with. We are doing a booth this year and its hard to do while working too. Of course next year we are going to have one by ourselves instead of having it with the First Volunteer Bank!

Delaney is growing so fast. She is going to be staying with a lady when school starts back. I hope it is a good thing!
She loves watching Dora the Explorer. She answers the questions they have on there. Its really cute. And she usually knows the answers. She also likes Go Diego Go! It is similar to Dora.

Long Hot Summer!

2006-08-04T06:20:00.000-07:00

Yes there is a movie called "Long Hot Summer" but that isn't what I am refering too. It has been really hot here the last few weeks. Scott comes home and is ready to go to bed as soon as he eats. It is suppose to cool off by next week I believe.

Next Sat. is our "Relay for Life" I am so looking forward to it. I am having to get some ladies at our church to bring some baked beans for our booth. We are having BBQ. It is only $5.00 a plate. You aren't going to get it any cheaper anywhere else, and it is for a great cause. So come out.

I look in the mirror now and think of this time last year. Man I have come thru so much. My hair has grown back like a afro. I am more over weight than I have ever been. But I am finally feeling pretty normal I think. The medicine I take makes me moody sometimes and makes me feel yucky sometimes, but over all I feel good. I want to start loosing weight. I just need a good kick in the rear. I was thinking this morning that us humans are ridiculas. We go thru a near death experience and we still don't change our lifestyle. Not unless we are on our death bed, but then we get better and we go back to the same ole' thing. I want to change I guess I need to ask God for the help don't I. And then expect Him to answer!

Maybe I need liposuction and a tummy tuck. Who can afford that! I guess that wouldn't be the answer. I have to remember that I had a baby, cancer, and that it took a big toll on my body, but there is still hope right? I am just disgusted with myself!!! It shocks me when I look in the mirror sometimes. and on top of all that I have a twin sister that is smaller than me and that is a reminder too. And now I am the fat twin. Who wants to be the fat twin! Ok I will get off the soap box. I will say that when I say I am fat, Scott says I am not fat! Love is blind:)hehe. But he does love me. I am learning that everyday! It still freaks me out. He loves me!!!

I am so glad today is Friday! This has been a long week it seems. School starts next week. Delaney is going to stay with a lady this School year. I hope it goes well. It doesn't matter who watches her, if it isn't family its going to bug me a little. I hope it is the right thing. When I took her to meet the lady. She was playing with the other kids and didn't want to leave. I guess that is a good thing. She watches 4 others. She has a set of twins that are 3 but they seem to only play with each other. and then there is a 1 year old and a newborn. Then Delaney is 2 1/2. That is alot of kids! I could do it I guess, I just don't want to. I can handle children in small doses.

HI!

2006-07-29T05:25:00.000-07:00

Hey! I have been told that I have trouble spelling! Well I know this. You are suppose to translate. Since I had chemo I forget how to spell things sometimes. It usually come to me eventually but sometimes I don't have time to wait! :) If I had spell check I would use it! :)

We got the bill back for our car that was in the shop. He quoted around $350.00. When I called him he said about $530.00. How do you go up two hundred dollars on a quote. I am going to let Scott take care of that one :) At least we have the money either way!

Sara seems to be doing well since she got back. I think the kids are driving her bonkos. I think she is ready for school. Last night I gave Delaney a little spanking and she went running to Sara! She ate that up! Oh well it ain't going to change anything. :)

Weil mi mynd wynt bank. Thaz fur yeu Emaly! ;)

Thriller Thursday!

2006-07-27T06:15:00.000-07:00

Well it is Thriller Thursday for the Keenagers at church (Senior citizens) So I Though I would call my Thursday Thriller too. Sara and Jessica got back from Romaina last night. I was so glad to see them. I am glad this week is almost over. I got mad at work this week. I put all the files in aphabetical order. (spelling?) I told the guys if they didn't want to take the time to put them in the right place just to put it on top of the filing cabinet and I will put them up. Well the guy that is my age I won't name names. But he keeps putting them in the wrong place. Is he trying to make me mad. How immature. I am trying to make things better and he is being a smart alec. What is a girl suppose to do. Well I decided I am not going to let him see that it bothers me or he will really get a kick out of that.

Delaney and Chloe are going to their grandparents today. I am going to let Sara rest today and tomorrow. She is really tired. well it is getting late its 8:00 am already! I need to get ready for my day!

Thursday!

2006-07-20T05:44:00.000-07:00

Good Morning! It has been a week since I blogged last! I am not good at keeping it up! Sara has been in Romainia since Monday! They said she got there ok and that they were staying busy! I can't wait to hear from her in some way though. I guess at the age she is, she isn't really thinking about her mom!!! She will probably be upset when she leave because of all the friends she made.

Work has been good this week. I have been praying that my co-worker will quit smoking. Yall pray too. That is the only thing I know that might work. It really bothers me. I love my job, the people I work with and everything, but the smoking is the worst. I may have to look for another job soon if it doesn't let up. It is so hard to find a job you really like, but my health is important too. It is hard to decide.

Delaney is watching Blues Clues she loves it! She is getting away from Sesame Street, but she still likes it. I bought her a Dora the Explorer back pack. She loves it. She thinks she is going to school!

VACATION!!!

2006-06-21T06:15:00.000-07:00

Vacation starts on friday! Can you tell I am excited about it. Scott will have 2 weeks off. I am only taking 1 week. We are going to go to East Tennessee for 3 days and then Scott has a minor surgery to do on thursday and I am going to take care of him on friday thru the weekend! He should be close to normal then! Pray for him.

Sara's party went over so well. We had a 50's theme and we decorated the house in pink and black balloons. I had some cardboard cards that I but food in. My mom melted some old records and we made bowl out of them and put the chips inside. My sister Jess had a old resturant booth that we put on the deck and we had a Checkered table cloth on it and We had some Coke a cola products on the table (salt and pepper shaker, napkin holder etc...) I had a big wash tub with cokes in it (glass bottles) they thought that was so cool. We had coke floats, fruit, chips and dip, cake(Mom put a Jute box on it) and candy! We had a bubble gum blowing contest, a hoola hoop contest, and a game with questions about how well you know Sara! We had 50's music playing inside and out. "The grandpa" got a friend of his to bring over a classic car! That was so cool. The kids took their pictures with it and the guy took them for a ride. They were all dressed up so it was so neat. We had a skirt waiting there for Sara!(she has always wanted a poodle skirt.) She was so suprised and we all had fun! We had it at my friend Pams house!! Thanks Pam!! Well that is it in a nut shell.

I hope to post some pictures. I am not that good at it so I will probably get my sis to help.

Tues was Chloe's 11th birthday! We had a cake for her! Grandma made it, and we decorated the table with veggie tales in her honor! We ate dinner where she wanted (brass Lantern) and they song happy birthday! And brought her a ice cream sundae! So I think she had a good day! She is going to have a party at her mom's and we are going to eat cake on Sat. with Scott's side of the family.

Maybe we can do something really special on her 16th birthday! Whew I don't know what yet. I have a few years. :)

Father of theYear!

2006-06-18T18:53:00.000-07:00

Today is fathers day! We started the morning by the girls giving Scott 2 cd's and 2 cards. One from Sara and then another from Delaney and Chloe. Sara is getting at the age she wants to do her own thing. Delaney made her a picture with a cute poem and her footprints on it. It was very sweet. I would say has got to be the best father in the world. I know you say thats what you have to say, Well I don't have to say anything, but Scott is a great dad! I wish I could tell you in words what kind of Dad he really is. He always has the kids interest and wellbeing in every decision he makes. He puts them before his on wants. It is easy to see that they are a joy in his life. He does it because he wants to. He doesn't get to see Chloe like he would like too, but he makes sure he talks to her about every night. I wish he would realize that he is a great father!!

Well Sat we had a suprise party for Sara! She had no clue. All the lying got to be hard! But I will try and post some Pics sometime. I will blog about is more later.

We finally got thru VBS too. It is the weekend and It is almost over. I hope you all had a good weekend! I will blog at ya later.

Monday!!!

2006-06-05T05:20:00.000-07:00

Well the weekend has passed once more! Monday is among us. I have decided I am going to have a happy Monday. Last night VBS started! I am helping with the music. You say hey that is pretty easy. Not really especially with 3 year olds and little boys who want to wrestle. I had a good time though! They are having the 3 year olds go from music to art to bible study. Just working with kids that age, I think that is too much. They will do better if they kept them in one room to do the activities. But they didn't put me in charge!!

I went to Dr. Smith over the weekend. He is a homeopathic dr. He says that I am in really good health. Considering the things my body has went through I was really happy about that! I am taking some drops that should clean me out and make me feel good!!

I went to Emily's graduation pary on Sat. I really had lots of fun. I think that was my favorite event of the weekend! I enjoy just getting together and having fun. We played badmitten, and I tried tennis but didn't do so well with that.

Well I hear my Delaney, she is wanting to get up! Oh last night at bible school they had these huge airfilled contraptions the kids could jump in. Well Delaney was in there and Bro. Brad announced time to eat. So I was trying to get Delaney out. Well he turned off the machine that was giving it air and Delaney was still in there. It was collapsing on top of her. We were all screaming that there was somebody still in there. It didn't crush her or anything and Chloe got her out and she didn't even cry. So all was well. Just scared Momma!!

Today Sara's Grandma is coming to see her. That is Conon's mom. She comes to visit Sara when she is in Tennessee. I am grateful that she keeps her in her life.

Happy Anniversary!!1

2006-06-02T17:24:00.000-07:00

Happy Anniversary to my Parents. They have been married 40 plus years. I can't remember exactly! Sorry Mom and Dad! I am happy to say my Dad and Mom still love each other very much!

It has been a good week. My allergies are better and I am feeling pretty good. I am looking forward to the weekend to relax a little. This morning I got up at 5:00 am to go to the yard sale for the mission trip. I think they are doing well. I stayed untill about 10:30. I bought a end table with a drawer for bills. $10:00 I thought it was a great deal.

Delaney is growing like a weed. She is getting tall. She looks like her dad! That is a good thing. :)

Good Day!

2006-05-30T08:30:00.000-07:00

I hope you all had a great weekend! It was nice and steamy hot. We had church outside on Sunday and then lunch. And to top off the hot day we went swimming. Delaney I don't think she remembers last year, but she really loves being in the water. She screamed when we had to leave. All the girls had a good time.

On memorial day we had Becky and Dick come over. Of course they brought William and Jonathan. They had a good time playing and eating. Mom and Dad came by and we had a great time under our huge trees and just talked. It was at the end of the day and a cool breeze hit the spot.

Well I had to get up this morning and clean up the mess arrg, but I did and I feel better about going to work and not coming home to a mess.

It was a good weekend except a little fussing here and there. But who doesn't do that right! Scott is going on Vacation at the end of June for 2 weeks it is going to be fun! :)

I picked up Brownie from the vet this morning. I thought well I will get ready for work and then go get him. Big mistake. He got in the truck with me and he wanted to sit practicly on top of me. Well he had this yucky yellow medicine that got all over my WHITE top, so I put him in the back of the truck. I think he liked that better anyway. He didn't throwup like he usually does.:) Well I went and changed and started on the kitchen, well you guessed it. I got crap on my shirt again. So I am going to have to change for the 3rd time. Oh well. I still plan on having a good day!!!!:) I hope you do too!!!!!

2006-05-26T06:37:00.000-07:00

Good Morning!

It is a beatiful day today!! The sun is shinning and it is warm. I have to work today but I am off at least on Monday! Scott gets today and Monday off. Must be nice.

Last night Sara and I went and worked out at Harveys. Scott likes to go in the morning. EARLY in the morning! I want to sleep in of course.

We don't have alot of plans this weekend. We are having church at the park and then a picnic on Sunday. My allergies are in full swing, so I don't know how long I will be able to sit outside. My allergy medicine really doesn't work that well.

Well I hope it is a fun weekend for all. Remeber our veteran's this weekend they have given us alot. I appreciate what they have done for our country.

Good Day!

2006-05-25T06:24:00.000-07:00

Don't you just love the color pink!! It is my new favorite color. I found this quote a friends tag on her signature. "Accusing a homeschool kid of missing out on socialization is like accusing a work-at-home entrepreneur of missing out on corporate politics." --Perry Marshall I thought that was interesting! Ponder on that one!

Delaney is yelling at me from the other room to come ear. Yes I misspelled on purpose. That is what she is saying ! she is so cute.

We are starting VBS in 2 weeks. I am helping with the music. I will enjoy it. I just hope I can remember the stuff.

Sara is going to Romaina in July! I hope it is a life changing experince. I think it will be.

Pray for her. Also pray they get there money raised and that she gets her passport on time!

I hope you all have a good day! Scott is off friday and Monday!! that will be fun.

Wed Hump Day

2006-05-24T04:44:00.000-07:00

It seems like this week is going on forever! It is finally getting warm again. I hope we don't have anymore cold weather this summer until it is time for it. Delaney woke up the croup the other night because of it. She always does that when the weather changes. She if doing fine. She is really growing up! The whinning is the only thing I don't like.

Work is going ok! The girl that I work with smokes so that bothers me! Especially since allergy season is in full swing for me!

Yesterday was the fundraiser for "Relay for Life" We made 600 sack lunches for the businesses here in town. They were really good too!! It had a ham and turkey cheese sandwich, a bag of chips, a cookie and a bananna. All for $5.00. Not bad for all that and delivery too! The women of our church provided the cookies.

Well It is 6:46 and I have to get off here. I have to clean house before work and if I don't get off now I will never start!

Happy Tuesday!

2006-05-16T05:41:00.000-07:00

Good Morning ! I had a good night sleep last night. I had a good mothers day! Sara always used to make me breakfast in bed. Well she forgot and I mentioned something about it. Next thing I know she brought me a glass of instant breakfast. I liked that just as well, at least it tasted good hehe. Delaney gave me a plaque with a Picture of her on it with the date. I always love stuff like that.

Today is a full day!! I have to go a rotate Scotts tires on his truck, get ready for work. Take Delaney to Loretto, go to work, I have a meeting when I get off, and after that I have choir practice. Whew!! My day is full.

Yesterday I found out some friends quit coming to church! I am upset about it. It is a big suprise. I just would have never thought they would leave. I am pulled whether or not I should ask someone why, or should I call them or just leave it alone. I quess I should ask God about it huh! I just don't want to come across as a gossip.

Well I am going to go I have a long day ahead!

MY HAIR!!

2006-05-09T17:40:00.000-07:00

I am posting this in the color my hair should be! Ok look over to the left and scroll down of me and Sara. See those Curls What am I suppose to do with that. ok now scroll up you see my sisters hair. That is what I am suppose to look like. ARRGGGGG!!! :)
Jennifer

Good Day!

2006-05-09T17:24:00.000-07:00

Hey all! Tonight was the play that my neice Janie is in and I didn't get to make it. I hope they taped it. I just couldn't make it. I hope they understand. GO JANIE!!!! I miss them girls so much! I feel like I am missing them growing up! I get to see them on Sundays though so I will be thankful for that.

Work is going ok. It is alot to learn, I have made some dumb mistakes but none that cost us anything! There is alot to learn about commercial insurance plus the accounting end of it. The lady I am learning from doesn't use a computer either so I am learning the old fashioned way. I can see how computers could really help.

Scott has a headache tonight, I think the heat is really getting to him. I know it gets depressing having to go to the same place day in and day out and doing the same thing over and over and over again.

We got a membership at Harveys gym. I am really liking it. I didn't get to work out today! I missed going. I am going to try and go tomorrow. Our choir at church is going to sing at OK baptist church tomorrow. I hope we do well.

I have realized that I have a anger problem, I know some of you think Jennifer!! No not Jennifer!!! But I do. I don't hit or rant and rave but I do snap at my kids and husband and I feel the anger deep within me. Most the time I can control it. I hope it is something that I can work thru and let go of. I don't even know why I am angry but it seeps out. Satan seeks out like a lion seeing who he can devour and rip to shreads and sling around like raw meat, but I know the Lion Tamer!!!! Jesus Christ!!!Amen. I am going to start preaching in a miniute hehe. Well I am closing for now! See ya!

Hello

2006-05-03T06:24:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone I hope you are all doing well today. I am doing pretty good. My allergies don't seem to be as bad as normal. I am hoping for a better season this year. This morning has been kinda funny, Delaney is kinda being potty trained, the only way she will tell me she has to go to the bathroom is if she doesn't have a pull up on. So in the morning I will leave her sleep shirt on and take off her diaper. Well this morning she has told me when she has to go potty, but she doesn't have the bm's down as well. She went to the bathroom in the kitchen floor she was crying potty and she was really upset that she went to the bathroom in the floor. I told her its ok and it was a accident. She is funny!!!

This week has been uneventful, We went to dave ramsey on Monday night and Last night was our support group. We had 2 there. There was a funeral in our church family so a couple of the girls were at the funeral home. Also I figured with summer being here that people like to do other things. I think it will grow though. I hope we help women with this disease. We also talked about "Relay for Life" We are going to have a tent set up with 1st volunteer bank. I am really excited about it.
I hope you all can come. I think it is Aug 12. It is on a Sat.

Well I am fixing to get ready for work. Pray that my co-workers are in a good mood, some weren't the last couple of days and it makes for a yucky day! :)

FRIDAY!!

2006-04-28T05:12:00.000-07:00

Normally I like fridays because tomorrow is sat and everyone will be here at home, that is still true but since I am working now I enjoy them much more!!!!

I am better since my last post, sometimes you just need to vent! I was told that it wasn't a very encourging post so I am sorry if I depressed anyone!

I am learning alot about what marriage is about. It isn't always about the lovey dovey stuff! Even though that is important. I know that God puts us with the person that will help you be more like him( if you let him.) And sometimes that means telling you something that you need to hear even though it might hurt your feeling. My husband very nicely gave me a article in a homelife magazine(a christian magazine for those who don't know) that talked about nagging. Well I read the article and I could see myself in the article even though I didn't want to admit it. And at first I wanted to get mad, and then I let it hurt my feelings, but after I had a while to think on it I know that he truely wants to help me. I have prayed for God to help me and he has thru my husband. He loves me so much that it overwhelms me sometimes. Scott didn't want to hurt my feelings, He truely wants me to be happy and to have a since of peace in my life. It was pretty brave giving me the article in the first place don't ya think! Well I am going to read it again and do what they advise to fix it. Pray for me!

Well Delaney is still sleeping (sigh of relief) and Sara is off to school. And I am going to relax this morning and not do much.

CANCER!!!!!!

2006-04-22T17:48:00.000-07:00

This dreadful disease has struck again!! It seems like people are dropping like flies! What is going on. I feel like it is all I hear about. I found out on the way to work yesterday that a man that did some plumbing at our house has cancer. I almost cried to work! Scott's uncle has bladder cancer and it is worse than what they had thought. They are wanting him to do the dreadfull "red devil" There is a girl on our sisters web site who has small children that is on her death bed right now as we speak! Man It is just so overwhelming. Can't they find a cure for ANYTHING!!!! They have plenty of treatments that will almost kill ya! That is for sure. I just don't understand this. Oh they have better drugs so you can live longer, but most people are not cured of cancer. I believe there are cures out there. It is all about money!!! Can you tell I am a little upset!

Ok I will breathe!

I have had a long hard day! Having some difficulties with family. Nothing that can't be fixed just hard. Pray for us! I have learned today being a parent gets harder and harder! I just want my children to know that I love them and I am willing to make nesassary changes in my life to help them! I am not always right I know this, sometimes I don't even realize I do things that are effecting them! I want to be a super mom, I guess that is dreaming. I wish that they could concentrate on the things I have done for them and know that I have sacrificed for them. I wish I knew how to be a parent that makes them feel good about themselves. I don't know what I am doing wrong! I try I just don't know! But I will never give up on my kids no matter what!

My Sis

2006-04-20T17:58:00.000-07:00

My sister is going to Texas tomorrow. She is flying out of muscle Shoals tomorrow eveining! Just pray that she will be ok! I hope she has fun! I have had a long week it seems like. But tomorrow is FRIDAY! I am looking forward to the weekend!

The Girls are ok. Sara is going to romaina and she needs to send out her letters for support. She needs to get it in gear!

Well I am fixing to get everyone settled for the night. :)

MY wonderful friends

2006-04-19T07:26:00.000-07:00

What would I do without my friends! Emily don't feel bad you are the 2nd person who has told me about my writing skills! I realize I can't spell. I actually set there for a few seconds yesterday pondering how to spell "crept" I do that sometimes. It is really chemo brain, well ok I was proabably like that before, but it is worse now :)

I am fixing to head out to work and then church! I will see you all later! I just had to repsond and I don't have your email Emily! Send it too me!

Allergies are among us

2006-04-18T05:45:00.000-07:00

The ever loving pollen monster has crepted up and attacked me. I hate this time of year just for that reason. I will have about a month of this! Arrrgg!!!

I went to work monday and by the end of the day I was really tired. I think it is really catching up with me. I have quit going to curves, I thought about going today but with my schedule it is almost impossible! I went for a year, I don't need to stop now.

Chloe is here this week! She is on spring break. Delaney loves it when she is here!

Well not alot going on. I hear Delaney talking in bed! She loves to sing "Jesus loves me" She is really growing up! Can you believe she is 2. Man life comes at you fast!

Easter Weekend

2006-04-15T18:55:00.000-07:00

This has been a pretty good weekend! Thursday we had a Maundy service. Our pastor and the leaders of the church were dressed up like they did in bible times, and they had a table set up like the last supper. Bro Brad went thru the book of Mark and told about Jesus's last days on the earth. The when had the Lords supper. The leaders of the church handed out the bread from baskets and we passed the loaves of bread and tore a piece off. It was a moving time.

We had our Easter musical last weekend. Everyone I spoke to really liked it. I enjoyed singing in it. Easter is one of my favorite times. There is something about Jesus defeating death and sin on the cross and when he rose again that is awesome.

My allergies are in full swing! isn't that great!

This is the time of year I started Chemo!! Can you belive it has been a year! If I think about it to much I get really upset. I hate to think anyone has too go thru something like that. I survived though and I know that I need to concentrate on that. Cancer is something you never forget and it doesn't go away! It is always in the back of your mind. There isn't a day that I don't think about it in some aspects. Well This is depressing. I am going to go before I get real sappy!

trouble veiwing my post

2006-04-14T19:51:00.000-07:00

I have had some trouble viewing my post. My sister says she can see them all but I can't from my computer! Today has been a pretty day! Sunny in the 80s. Tomorrow is suppose to be nice too. My allergies are starting to bother me though!

I had to work today for part of the day! It was not to bad. Scott and Delaney and I went out to the park for a walk. She enjoys walking and playing on the trails.

today Sara went and shoveld out some horse barns. I am hoping alittle hard work will teach her something. I have been to easy on her. It is kinda funny I have always said that Scott was a push over but looking at Sara and Delaney I think I am really the push over. I just think I have a big bark. But I am trying to change things with Scott's help. He has taught me alot about being a parent. He probably wouldn't think so but he has.

Good Evening!!

2006-04-11T18:32:00.000-07:00

I had a pretty good day today! We were busy for the first part of the day and then really slow at the end of the day! Before Darlene came in today I got thru alot of the mail. She was very impressed that I remembered the stuff she told me.

Scott and Delaney and I took a walk and Delaney enjoyed looking at the cows. She also learned what a butterfly was, actually it looked like a moth, but I wasn't going to try and explain the difference to a 2 year old. She had a good time. I am afraid for her to be by herself out there. We have huge ant hills. I am talking about fire ants. those things will bite you . Well I am fixing to go to bed. I will see ya!

Good Morning

2006-04-10T05:23:00.000-07:00

I hope you all had a good weekend! I had a great one! Scott and I got to spend some time together that I really enjoyed! I am so blessed to have him as a husband! God shows me sometimes how much he really has blessed me! He really loves me.

Church was good yesterday and the musical last night was great! We had a cookie fellowship afterwards, YUM YUM. They had all kinds of cookies, alot was chocolate which was great.

This morning Delaney went with Manetta and Walton to take Chloe to school. I didn't have to take her to loretto this morning, which was nice. I don't really mind taking her down there, because I know she is in good hands. I just got alittle time to myself.

Well I have to get ready for work, oh what fun I am sure there are going to be some claims this morning. :)

Hello

2006-04-08T13:04:00.000-07:00

This week has been a very busy week. I haven't been this busy in a long time. I think Delaney is adjusting well though. She loves staying with her grandma!

We had some bad weather here in Tennessee last night. There were a lot of tornado warnings for several hours. But our home is still in tact and there wasn't to much damage. I am sure Monday we will have some claims at the office. we had a insured on friday try and put coverage on his truck that he purchased 5 days ago. But the company doesn't allow it when there are tornado watches out for your county. He was mad, but he said when we quoted it he wouldn't be in until next week, so hmmm why do you think he came in early for!!!

Delaney and Scott are taking a nap, and I have been cleaning alittle this morning. Not much going on, we did go to a friends birthday party for a little while, It was Delaneys good friend Tess having her 2nd birthday!! We got her a lamb that you could turn into a chick, kinda like a reverible thing. It was neat! Got it at Big Lots. They all like it. Not a bad price!!

Well Sara is having a choral concert tonight! It might be her last if she doesn't pull her grades up. She isn't doing well in school, But I am really trying to help her keep herself focused!! Pray for her.

Well until next time America!!!

OK OK!!!

2006-04-04T17:19:00.000-07:00

Blog blog blog oh I am sorry I mean blah blah blah! Oh I am sorry was I being sarcastic!! who me!

Well work has been good I have missed Delaney during the day though. Manetta is really enjoying watching her.

This past Sat. I spent the day with my Mom and sisters. We had a great time together. We went shopping and then to a dinner theater. It was nice, but my age was showing I was getting sleepy too early!!!

By the way I don't see my sis becky blogging everyday!!!!

THIS BLOG HAS BEEN HIJACKED!!!

2006-04-03T14:38:00.000-07:00

Since Jennifer started back to work - she must have decided that she no longer has to update her blog. I am hijacking it to let her know, THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!! Jennifer, if you want your blog to stay in good working order - you must blog SOON!!

That is all.

Love From Your Sister,
Becky

FRIDAY

2006-03-24T14:20:00.000-08:00

It is finally Friday! I finished all my laundry YEAH!!! I had a whole lot. I am happy about it.
Today My neices Janie, Katie, and Libby came over(Elizabeth too) And Jess came over. There was a good time had by all. I wish they lived closer. I would watch them all the time!

Chloe has been here all week, we have had a good time.

I start work Monday! I am kinda excited! and I am a little sad too! I will miss being with Delaney too! It might be good for Delaney.

I am watching Tv Land Awards, it is neat to see all the old shows we grew up with, Donnie and Marie, Happy days, Dallas, Little house on THe Praire etc....

Well Sara spent the night with a friend, She will be home soon. I miss her when she is gone.

Tomorrow The kids are singing at church, I think it will be great, Today Delaney would not take a nap. What is up with that! Well I will blog later.

Hello

2006-03-23T15:46:00.000-08:00

I have been working like crazy to get my house in order and I feel like I have more to do than when I started. I have actually made a dent in it. I am excited about it.

I had my newphews over yesterday and I think all had fun! We had pizza for lunch and they just played and played. I made Becky a Salmon omelet for lunch. I hope she liked it!

Sara is at a friends house and Chloe is watching tv. Delaney is playing. I am fixing to start supper. Spaghetti! It is our favorite.

I am enjoying the kids being at home. Chloe has been here all week.

A dreary day!

2006-03-20T05:46:00.001-08:00

Today is a gloomy day! But the Lord says this is the day that the Lord has made rejoice and be glad in it! No matter how gloomy it is. I guess the gloomy days help you appreciate the sunny days.

We had a great day yesterday! You could feel the presence of the Lord.

THis morning I am going to talk to my old employer about a job! I am hoping it will work out. I have to put Delaney in preschool. I am going to start out part time. Scotts parents will help me with the other days until I put her in full time maybe around the fall. That is the plan but it could always change!

I am going to try and get my house in order this week, both girls are on spring break! Pray I get it done! :) Well I am going to start now! See ya!

Sat

2006-03-18T12:20:00.000-08:00

It is a beatiful Saturday and it is about 60 degrees. The sun is shinning! I am trying to get Delaney to take a nap but she is in there yelling MAMMA! I will not go in there until she takes a nap!!!!!!

This morning at 9:00 we had choir practice and then I went and helped some clean out some rooms where they are fixing to paint. There was a slide in the 2 and 3 year old classroom they are going to get ride of because it takes up to much room. I was glad I was in there because they are going to let me have it. Delaney loves to slide! Those things are Very expensive. I love a deal!

This week our preacher and some others are in El Savador this week. I am really going to miss them. I pray for there saftey and also that God would really use them. I can't wait to see how God moves.

I am probably going to be able to go back to work at Chandler Ins. That would work out great. Pray that it will. I am going Mon to talk to them

Also pray that I can let go of my past. My husband thinks I am holding on to somethings. I don't feel like I am but God gave him to me so he can help me. And I think that Scott sees things I don't. I really need to do that.
Actually if you ask me one of the most worst times of my life would be, you would think it would be cancer. It actually isn't though. My divorce was one of the worst things that happened to me. Don't get me wrong, I in NO WAY would want to be married to my ex-husband It was just a really dramatic thing that happened to me. And the marriage was worse. So Scott is probally right when he says I need to let go of my past.

Today at the lunch table I was getting on the Sara for being so short with Delaney and Scott looked over at me, and I knew what he was thinking. I Do the same thing with Sara. Man it is so hard being a mom. He really loves her and I appreciate him looking out for Sara. He said it bothered him when I did that to her.

Well Enough for one day! Blogg at ya later!

THANKS BECKY!!!

2006-03-17T07:10:00.000-08:00

Becky has redesigned my blog!! Doesn't ilt look great!!! I so appreciate it.

I got up early this morning!! Delaney sleep in her bed all night. She did wake up a couple of times, but when I went and got her she was so proud of herself! She kept say night night!! She was telling me she stayed all night in her bed.

It is also my husbands birthday today!! This time last year I was having a biopsy done and was diagnoised with cancer!! I have come a long way!! The Lord is great!! He has brought me thru!!

Happy Birthday to you!!! Happy Birthday too you HAAPPPYY BIIRTHDAY dear Scoooootttt Happy Birthday tooo y ou! And many more! Yes I am singing! :) His mom almost named him Patrick but didn't! I would have like him as a Patrick! He is cute either way!

All by myself

2006-03-16T20:07:00.000-08:00

I am up by myself and I decided to write a few lines. I visited with some women today and I found out one of them is going thru a biopsy on her breast. It is so strange it was a year ago this week I was doing the same thing. I hope it goes well for her. I hoped I was able to encourage her. She has lost alot of family members to cancer including her mom, so if she has it she kinda knows what she is in for. She said something that disturbed me though. She said her moms dr. told her that if you have cancer it will eventually come back. That bothered me! It is always in the back of my mind, but I don't need any help remembering! Will I ever be at peace with this! I don't think a dr. needs to tell someone that! Are they God! I don't think so.

Delaney went to sleep pretty easy tonight. She only cried about 10 min. Last night it was 30. So I am hoping she will get used to going to sleep on her own.

I have felt down this week. I guess it is depression I am not sure. I know that I feel like this alot. The medication I am on doesn't help any!

I am so sick of hearing about Jessica Simpson! Ok so she duped the President. So what! Who is she anyways. I think it was for publicity anyways!
She was originally a christian artist and was very open about the fact she was a virgin when she married. And now 3 years later she is divorced! She sold out!!!! Her father was a preacher and is now her manager!!! I would be so ashamed of myself! She is very sexual in her persuits. If she didn't have her sex appeal she probably couldn't make it anyways. She doesn't have that great of a singing voice. It is ok but nothing Great!

Tomorrow is Scotts Birthday! I am always forgetting how old he is :( I think he will be 35. He was born in 1970. We are suppose to get away for a little while and celebrate! It will be nice.

Have a good weekend! It is going to be cooler. Last weekend it was 83 degrees and it is going to be about 54 this weekend. Welcome to the south in March!! Yee Haw.

ghello everyone

2006-03-13T08:37:00.000-08:00

It is another Monday! I tend to have a dull day on Mondays for some reason. I think it is because Sundays are so awesome. Delaney is running around playing. Pushing the puter buttons. I gave her a bath this morning and I was cleaning the kitchen and came in and she has written all over herself. Elmo was coloring, I guess she was too. hehe. z

My Test results

2006-03-11T20:43:00.000-08:00

My test results from my MRI came back great!!! My dr. said by all accounts that I am cured of cancer. Isn't that great. Today was a good day. We went to eat at Lahacienda, my favorite mexican place. And then we went to Scotts parents house. We had a good time. We also went to Florence with Scotts brother Gary and Mel. We just got home a little while ago.

Delaney is in our bed again. I am going to put her in her bed and hope that she will sleep all night. Cross your fingers. I guess that is superstious isn't it. How about just pray!!!

My throat has been bothering me. Its not sore. My mouth has been dry and it is causing me to have bothersome symptoms. Nothing serious I just feel like I am constantly trying to clear my throat or something. I will be alright. Just something to complain about I guess.

The weather is really nice. it was around 78 degrees today! They said there was suppose to be scattered storms, but we didn't have any! I think it is suppose to rain tomorrow. It is going to be in the 50's next week. So I guess we can look forward to more runny noses around here. Maybe that is why my mouth is so dry!

I found my cell phone again. I have trouble keeping up with that. I am just glad I found it.

I am looking forward to church tomorrow. I want to learn somthing. I can't wait. God is really working in our church.

Hello

2006-03-08T05:59:00.000-08:00

We had our 3rd support group meeting last night. It is going well. I still get overwhelmed about all this cancer stuff sometimes.

Delaney didn't go to bed untill 10:30 I don't know what her problem was. I was getting frustrated. I hope she takes a good nap today. I don't have anything planned for today except church! I am going to stay around the house today. It is suppose to be warm all this week, so I will probably get outside.

I am tired

2006-03-07T13:54:00.000-08:00

I went this morning to be with Scott's uncle's family. He had a spot took out on his bladder. They said they wouldn't know anything until reports came back,but he did say it looked worriesum! I hope it turns out ok. I took Delaney with me. We stayed 3 hours. She did well, but when I went to another appointment she didn't. so I am really tired from keeping her out of things and her whinning so much!

I don't have alot to say today! I am getting frustrated with the Dave Ramsey thing! :) I guess anything worth having takes some disapline!

Good Day!

2006-03-06T12:11:00.000-08:00

It is a pretty day today! The sun is shining and it is about 60 degrees! Delaney is sleeping. She has done well without the passey except she wants to sleep with me all the time now. I struggle in knowing what to do. I think she needs to sleep in her bed, but Scott doesn't like to hear her scream! So what do you do. I need some advice!

There isn't alot going on right now. I am learning alot at church. I am really learning about being a servant. I want to be a servant. It really goes against your flesh though.

My newphews came on Sat. and we spent most of the day with them and there parents. I had a great time. I hated to see them go. I hate that I miss seeing my newphews and neices growing up. I wish I could be around them all the time.

Still doing Dave Ramsey! It is getting alittle hard. But I will make it thru! Scott is really liking it!

My little girl is growing up!!

2006-02-27T11:54:00.000-08:00

Well I look over at Delaney and see how grown she has gotton. She is doing so much on her own. She is always saying "laney do it" She is so independent. We had a good weekend. Church was great! A friend of mine gave her testimoney and it was wonderful. She has a way of speaking and keeping your attention.

Well tonight is another night of Dave Ramsey! Scott is happy about it. He is seeing the light at the end of the rainbow.

tomorrow I am helping with a chili lunch for the Relay for life. I am looking forward to that. I have a MRI on wed and a massage on Friday. My week is full.

Hello

2006-02-23T15:14:00.000-08:00

Potty training is going well with Delaney. She is growing up so fast. Sara went to the Valentine Dance and had a good time. She got to stay until 10:30. It lasted until about 12:00, but I thought that was a little late for a 15 year old on a school night. She was beatiful. I am so proud of her. Scott and Chloe are doing well also. He has been working so hard. He gets really tired! We hardly get to see one another during the week. He gets home about 7:00 since he is working 9 hours. He is usually ready for bed about 8:30. I know that if was me I would be exhausted. I wish he could know how much I really appreciate him. Well supper time is getting close I guess I need to start it.

Hello

2006-02-18T12:25:00.000-08:00

I Know I know it has been a while since I have posted. I am a sloth!!! It is a rainy cold sleety kinda day today. Sara's dance has been postponed Horray!! She had her true love waits weekend at the same time, and I didn't want her to miss that. So God worked it out.

Scott and I have started the Dave Ramesy course. I feel really encouraged by it. I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. I will probably have to go back to work though. It will be tough, but I need to do it for a while. I think it will be temporary! Scott doesn't want me to work only nights though. He said" I do want to see ya" I thought that was really sweet. I haven't had anybody that just really wanted to see me.

Well Delany is started wanting to go to the potty!!! Yeah!! she is so funny. This morning she went into the bathroom and closed the door and I walked in and she was sitting on her new potty chair, the only problem was it that she still had her diaper on. But she is interested in it. But I am not holding my breath.

Chloe was here for a week last week. Her mom and stepdad went to Las Vegas on a business trip. I enjoyed having her here. We seem to fuss more though. I need to learn not to let the kids get to me. Any suggestions on how to do that.

My friend that moved here from California, husband went to the hospital friday night with some heart pain. and there was about 10 people from our church show up at the hospital. She was so overwhelmed by our expression of love. She said she has never experienced that before and her and her husband both cried. I don't think he is serious, but I think God used this to show both of them how much He loves them. I thought it was cool. I am learning that I need to be more giving of myself.

Finally Posting

2006-02-09T10:01:00.000-08:00

I know it has been a while since I posted. I am not good at doing it everyday. Things are going ok. Delaney has had a cold again. She has just had a runny nose which leads me to think it is allergy related. She hasn't had a cough or anything. She is doing well without the pacifier. Except she wakes up and wants me to come and get here. I am going to have to break her of that. I think she may be ready for potty training. She took her diaper off and peed in the floor and then ran to the bathroom and said potty. That could be a sign :)

My mom is having kidney trouble. She has kidney disease and she is going to have to go on dialyisis soon. She seems so calm, I know that has helped me thru the years, but I know she has to be concerned even though she doesn't tell us kids about it. I know it is going to change her life. I just hope she doesn't get down about it. Pray for her.

Scott is doing ok. He really stays tired. We are going to get a treadmill and a total gym with our income tax. He really needs a way to exercise and he misses it. He worked at a gym for a while. He has gain some weight since we were married. (so have I) It doesn't bother me except for his health. I want him to be healthy. We can help each other. Does anyone else out there have communication problems. I feel like I really do well and then BAM I screw it all up. I am not sure sometimes what to do. I want to be the wife the Lord wants me to be. I am not sure on how to do that sometimes. I know pray! That is what my mom is saying as she reads this!:)
We are going thru dave ramsey's financal peace course. I am looking forward to getting out of debt.

I am looking into going back to work. There is part of me that doesn't want to but Scott is really feeling the financial pressure of all our bills. I would have to be comfortable with who keeps Delaney before I can even do that though. I have looked into it alittle, but not alot. I may have to work at night. Who knows.

Sara stayed home today. She has a lot of sinus problems. I think she could have went to school. But she said she didn't sleep much last night and she really felt bad. She took a good nap and I gave her some medicine that helped. She wasn't running a fever, but I can seeing this turning into a sinus infection. I pray it doesn't.

Sara is wanting to go the the Valentine dance at school. I am really having a hard time deciding. I don't know what to do. I guess I need to let her experience life. I just don't want to give in to things because other parents do. I am not being her best friend,but her mom. Any suggestions? I will take all I can get. She will be turning 16 this summer, and that seems to be the golden age for kids to get there liciense and drive and date, but I don't know if that is such a good idea. But then I have to be able to trust the way I raised her too.

Well I guess I have posted enough. I will try not to wait so long!

A week without the Pacifier!!!

2006-02-01T11:29:00.000-08:00

It has been a week without the passey and it hasn't been as bad as I thought it would. But nap times haven't been too good. She is in her bed screaming right now! How long are you suppose to let them scream. Man I don't know sometimes. My mommy instincts says go get her. My mind says she will scream that much more the next time. What do you do.
I haven't blogged in a while. I haven't had alot to write. I have to go to the dr. on friday so they can check where they fried me!!hehe. and I also have to have another mamogram and a ultrasound and a mri where I had my surgery. ARGG. I guess this is how it is going to be for a while.

Man she has some lungs on her!! Scott and I are fixing to go thru Dave Ramseys program. I am really excited about it. I want to get out of debt. I just hope that we stick with it. I will let you know how it turns out.

FRIDAY

2006-01-20T17:46:00.000-08:00

I am so glad it is friday. I endjoy the weekends! I get to have adult conversation. I also like going to church also. This week I have been alittle down. I don't know if it is depression or not. It could be pms. I really go crazy sitting in the house. I need to get up and get busy. Scott thinks I need to talk to my dr. about it. But I am not going to take anything for it. I really don't want to go there.

I went to Wal-mart and got groceries. I saw Jessica there. She was getting stuff to make her baskets. She is really talented with them. I hope she sell alot. She really buts alot of time and effort into what she does. I think I will have her make some for the girls.

Delaney wants to crawl all over me all the time. It drives me nuts sometimes. Have a good weekend.

hello everyone

2006-01-19T07:35:00.000-08:00

I went to the Dr. yesterday! He said I needed to lose weight, arrrggg. I tried to talk to him about a alternative to tamoxifin (hormone balance) He really wasn't receptive to it. I have to go and have a mri on my left breast. He is alittle concerned where I was healing. The skin is tough and he said he like to be over causious. I just hope it isn't anything. They said I didn't have anything to worry about the first time and I ended up having cancer. I am trying not to let it bug me. I need to trust the Lord Jesus. He is in control of this. Right!!

Sara got up late this morning so I ended up taking Delaney to eat breakfast. I enjoy getting out and so does she. She is starting to talk more and more. She is watching Sesame Street she learns alot from that show. I wish I could take the credit for what she knows.

I talked with Sara's youth leader last night. She is really dealing with the loss of her dad. Even though he is still alive and well. The strange thing about all of this is that when he lived with us, she didn't want anything to do with him. She didn't like being left alone when Iworked and he never spent time with her. She was really nervous around him. And if he was still here she probably would feel the same way. But with him gone all she can think about is him. I know she has to work thru it. I pray that the Lord makes it quick. I don't want this to drag her down all of her life.

When my dr said I needed to lose weight I wanted to scream. It is so hard. Of course he isn't fat so I can't throw off on him. He really is a good dr. He is cute too!:)

Good Morning

2006-01-17T09:18:00.000-08:00

I hope everyone had a good Martin Luther Holiday!!! I spent part of the day with Scott at the Dr. and then we took the kids to the park and played. Delaney had such a good time sliding and running around. she seems so carefull when she plays I sometimes wish she just would get in there and get rambunctious. She doesn't like to play rough especially with kids. I guess that is just her personality.

Today Sara came home from school. She just said she felt really tired and like she didn't want to hold her limbs up. weak I guess would be the word. I know that she really ran around yesterday so I am just hoping she is wore out. I know she would have to feel bad to miss school. Pray for her. She has been emotional lately about her dad, so I don't know what is really bothering her. I guess being a teenager is really hard.

It seems like everytime I get on the computer Delaney wants to hang out with me so I am going to make this short.

Wed

2006-01-11T14:01:00.000-08:00

Today I decided to get out and get some fresh air. It made me feel better. I think as I get older my pms really gets worse. Today and yesterday especially, I was really down I also have a I don't care attitude. I am not sure what role having all my estrogen stripped from my body has to do with it. Sometimes I feel like a lunatic. I actually kept my thoughts to myself though without screaming or anything!!

I am so glad Sara got home. I really enjoy it when she comes home. She makes life more fun. Delaney is sleeping right now and when she gets up we will go to church. It always makes me feel better to be around alot of people. It is hard sometimes just communicating all day with a 2 year old. I gave Delaney a bath today and washed her hair without her crying, she usually doesn't like me to rinse her hair but I made a game out of it. She loves the bath she doesn't like the water going over her face. She has learned out to let the water out! She thinks she is so big.

I hope that maybe my sis will come see me on friday!! I sometimes just need someone to come by. The girl that I posted about the other day that had cancer died this morning. It is really sad. I really makes you think about your life. Do we spend too much time being upset and complaining? Or depressed about something. When do we enjoy where we are at? I think about my life and I get upset about things that maybe don't go my way. and ya know it is minor, I have a wonderful husband who loves me and cares about me. I have great kids and a good home and food to eat everyday, what more do I think I need. I want to get back to the place that I just enjoy life and quit worrying so much about things I can't change. God does want us to have a abundant life right? I don't think it has anything to do with what we have. But the peace he gives us when we trust Him. I pray for that. Well I guess I have blogged enough. I will save some for tomorrow.

Hello

2006-01-10T11:44:00.000-08:00

I sometimes find sitting in this house everyday gets me down. I like being here, I just wish I had something I enjoyed to do. I do love being a mommie, but I really am not good at this housekeeping thing. I had my house in order and then Christmas came around and it was like a bomb went off and now I am suppose to clean up the mess. It really makes me mad. I don't mind cleaning really, I just don't like having to clean up what others could do for themselves. Enough on that soapbox.

Delaney went to bed the last couple of times without crying. That is a positive thing. She is getting more and more stuborn as she grows up.

Church has really been good. We had a whole row of men in the choir !! Usually there was only about 3 or so. It was so good to see the men in there.

Sara has started new classes. I hope she does well. These aren't the fun classes so I hope she does well. She is doing well. She gets frustrated that I have been so cranky. I hope I don't make her resent me. She did buy a t-shirt that says her mom rocks!! So I know she still loves me!!:)

Back to normal

2006-01-09T17:26:00.000-08:00

Everything is getting back to normal, since Sara went back to school. It is just Delaney and I during the day. She gets a little clingy though. It drives me crazy at times. I had a ok day. Scott has a ear ache which isn't good. He has this clicking noise when he swallows. It is kinda creepy because you can hear it if you get really close to his ear. I think he needs to go to the dr. if it gets worse. But it will probably have to get really bad before he goes to the dr. I hope it doesn't bother him to much longer.

There is a girl that is about 15 years older than I that has brain cancer. She is at the end of her life. I know she has children but I am not sure how old. I have known her family for a long time. I hate that this is happening to them. I was listening to my preacher on sunday and he was talking about how each heart beat we have are in Gods hands. That really helped me alot. God is in control of this crazy life!

I Know this is a weird post I just thought I would put some thoughts on paper

Hello all

2006-01-06T06:36:00.000-08:00

I know it has been a while since I posted but my youngest child has been under the weather plus a few other things. Delaney has had a ear infection, that wouldn't be to bad but the medicine she took for it made her sick. Plus she had her shots on the same day I took her to the dr. So she has been out of sorts. She is better now I hope!! She is watching teletubbies right now.

Our first support group went well. We had 3 show up. I was happy about it. I think it will take time to grow. But I also know that numbers don't mean everything either. It may be a few people at a time that comes. That is ok. It is a ministry to help people so who ever shows up are the ones who need ministering too. Right?

I have almost got my christmas tree down. I am ready to get it out of here.

Sara and I went to the Extreme youth conference in Pigeon Forge. It was fun and a great learning experince. They had a lot of groups there to sing.

Christmas Eve!

2005-12-24T08:12:00.000-08:00

It is a rainy Christmas Eve. I wanted snow but I would rather have sunshine than rain. But I don't control that!!! I spent the day yesterday with my Sister Elizabeth. We just hung out, went shopping, ate mexican, went shopping again and I got to see the kids for a little while. I miss be able just to see them when I want too!! I had a great time.

I woke up this morning and made breakfast on our grill. We bought a big one and you can cook eggs and bacon and stuff all at the same time. I love it. You can cook breakfast quick. I love it.

We are fixing to get ready to go see Scotts Grandmother. She has been a nursing home for a while. I know that it has got to be hard living in a nursing home. We really don't see her much. I need to make a effort to go and see her. Especially since I stay home.

Scott is cleaning the breakfast dishes. It is nice to have someone to help. I have lost my digital camera!ARggg. It is argravating me. I told the girls if they found it I would give them a surprise. No luck yet. But they are looking.

As we were sitting at the table Scott told me in a loving way that I was a crouchy and irritable person and that maybe I need to deal with my past. I think he is right. I am a very irriitable person and I don't know why!! I don't think I was always this way, but I can't remember when the transition took place. Pray that I want be that way no more. That was the long conversation in a nutshell. It was a loving conversation. I just don't have time to put in everything.

Well Scott is making some scrumpish meatballs for tonite. He is excited about them. A guy at work told him how to make them. I will tell you how they turned out.

Have a great Christmas. And remember Jesus IS the only reason for the season.

Hello

2005-12-21T12:10:00.001-08:00

Hello I am sitting here freezing. This cold air is really effecting me this year. My head really gets cold. Sara is spending the Night with her Friend Corey. She is turning 15 I believe. Tonite is Church and we are having our christmas dinner. I love to eat! and this is going to be good. If you haven't heard baptist are great cooks. hehe

We are starting our support group in Jan. for breast cancer. I am looking forward to it. I hope we can help many women and there families thru their battle with cancer.

I hope that you all have a great Christmas.

Hello

2005-12-21T12:10:00.000-08:00

Its Friday!!!

2005-12-16T06:52:00.000-08:00

I love fridays. I have done 2 loads of laundy and dinked on the computer for a while this morning. I am having trouble getting my printer to work. I don't know what the problem is. I went to moms yesterday day and helped her get ready for our Christmas party on Sat. I put up her tree!! She has a cazillun ornaments. And they were wrapped in tissue paper. But I didn't mind really. It just took a while. Delaney has a bag of suckers. She likes to unwrap and have me wrap them back. She doesn't want to eat them. I guess that is good, but I am tired of wrapping them. She is running around singing. Thats the small things we enjoy in life. I think she just took a crayon over to the kitchen to color on the wall. YEP I was right. She was calling me to show me her drawing. I told her only to color on paper. She goes right to her coloring book. Now she is getting into the baby wipes Yikes!! How can I be upset. She is cleaning the furniture. When she is eating if it is take out, she will pour out her food and throw the paper in the trash. She is such a good little girl. Well don't get me wrong she can be a pill, but she is a good girl.

I am going to finish up my shopping for the girls this weekend. I don't really know what to get them that don't cost a millon bucks. We will find something though.

I guess I will finsh cleaning house and run to town for some medicine. Have a wonderful day!

My Delaney is feeling better!

2005-12-13T06:14:00.001-08:00

Delaney is feeling better. She is trying to type this as we speak! She woke up talking and laughing. That made me feel better. But she isn't going to like it when I give her the medicine in a min. She really doesn't like it.

Last night was Sara's Choral Christmas Musical. They did very well. I am so proud of her. She takes after her mom:)

I am tired of sleeping with a fan. I gives me a sore throat and gives me a headache. I need to find something that makes noise that doesn't freeze me to death, it is actually Scott who needs the noise to sleep, but I have gotton used to it. I like it that the dogs don't wake me up. Maybe I will find something.

I am hoping to go to lunch with a friend today. I hope it works out.

My good friend Deidre' is coming into town on Sat. I am hoping to see her. She just had a little boy named Noah. I believe he is 2 months old. She also has Lauren who is 16 I believe and Megan who is 10. Sound about like our kids.
Well Delaney is wanting food so I have to quit. arrrggg.. Oh well such is life.

My Delaney is feeling better!

2005-12-13T06:14:00.000-08:00

Sunday afternoon

2005-12-11T14:24:00.000-08:00

Hello!
It is a cold sunday afternoon and I am sitting here with my cozy blanket enjoying the house to myself. Sara and Chloe went to mom's to spend part of the day. They enjoy going over there. Mom is really crafty and always has something fun to do. Delaney went with Scott to pick them up. She loves going with her daddy. Delaney played in her bed for about 2 hours. She would NOT go to sleep. Sometimes it happens. She just played. I guess she got some kind of rest. She has been sick with a cold. She has this annoying cough. I took her to the dr. and she has a sinus infection. When I try to give her the medicine they gave her she keeps it in her mouth and will not swallow it. I have to make her lay down until she swallows it. When she does she goes around saying "yeah I did it" she is so proud of herself.

We had our christmas musical at church it went really well. I have been told it sounded professional. Maybe we will be in a town near you. Hehe. I have been working really hard on keeping my house clean. As some of you know I am a professional procrasternator. I am doing good though. It also makes your family happier too.

Well does anyone read this? Hey shout out to me.

Happy Thursday!

2005-12-01T15:12:00.000-08:00

It is another day in Lawrenceburg! The great place to live. I have learned the older I get the more hometown I am. I like living where I know people. Scott would like to live where he doesn't know anyone. I think that he would get tired of it though.

It is a cold blustery day! Scott stayed home sick today. He has felt bad for about a week. I think he is wore down! He had his mom come get Delaney I enjoyed the time, but I missed her too! I like having her around. She is funny! When someone she knows comes around she will totally ignore them until she is ready to talk. Sara was never this way. Oh well I can't change that can I.

Today is world aids day! They are launching a new program for it. I think it is probably the same just a different name. I couldn't imagine having aids. I thought cancer was bad. I actually wouldn't want either one.

They say that when you go on a diet that your body is fighting against you to keep the fat. How crazy is that. You here so much. I just need to eat right and exercise!

You should see my pretty tree! I am so pleased! It is very big for my house.
I may be in the christmas parade! In the Cancer float! I qualify for that one. Bwwwhhaaaa

Well Sara is doing great. she is having fun in school and with her friends. I have enjoyed her teenage years, I don't care what anyone says about teenagers. (I know it could change at a moments notice)

We have our christams musical sat and sun at seven pm come if your in the L,bur area.

getting ready for christmas1

2005-11-29T12:22:00.000-08:00

I am trying to get ready for Christmas. I have my tree up and got my corner cleaned out on the other side. It doesnt' look very good if you have a pretty tree then a clutter in the other corner. I have enjoyed decorating.

I am practicing tonight for our Christmas musical. I love singing. I am getting to go Pigeon Fordge with the you at our church. Going to the mountains is one of mine and Scotts favorite things to do. He loves the smokies. He can tell you all about the mountains and animals. But he is going to have to stay with Chloe and Delaney! :) that should be a interesting blog hehe!

A great Thanksgiving!!!

2005-11-26T09:55:00.000-08:00

We had a great Thanksgiving! We went to my sisters Beckys house had alot of great food. We didn't have turkey though, we had ham. Our family doesn't really like turkeys all that much. The kids played well and everyone had a good time. And then we went to Scotts families house, and we had a ton of food there too. I had plenty that day.

We put up the christmas tree last night. We have to decorate it today. We played christmas music and had a fun time. Scott bought a deer for the yard.( one that lights up) He wants to get a diffierent one every year. It is nice to have a husband that likes to celebrate things. Conon was never like that. He wouldn't even have a tree if I hadn't put it up. He was a scrooge. Oh well I am blessed now.

Scott has had thur and fri off we have enjoyed him here. We went out in the field at the back of the house. We spotted a armadillo. Brownie our dog almost had it but he went into his burrow. Brownie dug and dug but couldn't keep up!

Well I wish I could have had all my friends here. It would have been fun. Oh well. I love all you guys. I wrote this on thanksgiving but it didn't post!

A early morning

2005-11-19T04:41:00.000-08:00

It is about 6:30 Delaney woke up early coughing. I turned the tv on the Rocky is on. What a timeless classic. I loved Rocky when I was a kid. I always liked the fact that he was the underdog, but I always liked the fact that he never cheated on Adrian, he always loved her. I know it sounds like I think he is real, well I know he isn't. I hear there is going to be one more Rocky can you believe it. I think Adrian isn't going to be in it. It isn't going to be a real different one this time.

I went to sleep thinking about cancer!! I wish it would just go away. satan can torment you sometimes. I should have prayed but I didn't. I just went to sleep and dreamed weird stuff. I dreamed that Scott had to go to Iraq. Creepy!!! I love him so much. He is really takes care of me and our children. He is one of the best dads I have ever seen. My dad loved me and he did what was best for us and I think I have a wonderful dad. He always but us kids before himself, in saying all that I just wish we had a closer relationship. I sometimes feel like I don't know what to say to him. I wish it could have been like Scott is with our kids. But things are better with my dad since he is older and retired. He has really opened up. I have learned that with the kind of childhood he had(which wasn't a good one) that he did a excellent job in raising us, and mom her mom died when she was 14. She really didn't know how to be a parent. but she did a great job too! So it goes to show it doesn't matter what kind of childhoo you have you can overcome. They are living proof.

It is a beatiful morning looking out in the field where the cows are eating grass. Its like a post card. I hope it snow this year!! I want Delaney to see snow. Plus I have a friend who is from California that I want to see snow. She just went on about fall. About how pretty the leave where, I told her is wasn't as pretty as it usually is.

Well I have to go a dirty diaper calls:) I knew you wanted to know that!

Another day in the life of motherhood

2005-11-18T09:51:00.000-08:00

I am home with Delaney today feeling stir crazy. I love being a mommie, but I really miss being in the work force. I have decided as humans we will never be satisfied where we are at in life. Delaney is smacking her hand saying NO no in her demon voice. Where does she get that? Not me!!!

Delaney has a little cold. It happens everytime the weather changes. I hope she is ok tomorrow. Scott and I are suppose to go and celebrate our annivesary tomorrow. I hope it works out. We were married 4 years ago. We both had children when we were married so we didn't have alot of time alone to get to know one another like you do when you have no children. It can challenge your relationship for sure, but you can make it thru.. I get along with Chloe's mom and step dad. I think that is important for our kids. They have a daughter together and we have Delaney and Sara I think its important to put your feelings aside and do what is best for the kids. My ex sure never did that. I have learned alot over the years. One thing I did learn is not to confront Scotts ex even when I felt like it. I always felt he needed to deal with her. I think she has a respect for me because of that. Scotts hearts aches because he can't have is daughter here all the time. I think sometimes women don't realize that there are men out there that love there kids just as much as they do. I don't think his ex does. But that is just my opinion. Man I don't know where all that came from.

Well I think I might and try to get Delaney to take a nap. She is sleepy!!

Good Evening

2005-11-12T19:44:00.000-08:00

I wrote a post last night and it ended up not working. If this doesn't I am going to throw the puter out the window. I was writing about how that now my treatment is over I "feel" that people expect me to get over my cancer because I am cured. I still have a fear in the back of my head. what if it comes back. What is that pain? Is it cancer shhh don't say it too loud it may jump on you. Like saying it will cause you to get it!! It is crazy what you mind will do to you. My ex-husband said to me once that he thought I would die young and before him. He freaked me out saying that kind of stuff. So when I got cancer I thought about that. I know Iknow just because he said that doesn't mean that is why you have cancer. Satan really knows how to play with your mind.

So how was you day!! hehe I know I have a sick sense of humor. I am fixing to go to bed. I am tired. I have been at the inlaws all day. Tenn played and won Oh my gosh can you belive it.

We took Delaney to the park today for the first time and let her slide. She loved it. I had such a good time watching her. I thank God for her. She is such a blessing in my life. I belive God gave her to Sara also. She never had anyone love her and had anything to belong to her that loves her the way Delaney does. He knew what he was doing!!

Its getting late I am going to bed. on my new sleep # bed. I love it

HI

2005-11-10T18:41:00.000-08:00

I know it has been a while since I last posted. I get in a slump and don't feel like writing. I have finished radiation!!Yes. I am glad. I miss the nurses though.

I read this its a little long. But its interesting!

Custody TrialKNOXVILLE, TN (AP) A 7-year-old boy was at the center of a Knoxville,Tenn., courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling overwho should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten byhis parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt inkeeping with child custody laws and regulations requiring that familyunity be maintained to the degrepossible. The boy surprised the courtwhen he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and headamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested thathe live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beathim. After considering the remainder of the immediate family andlearning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them,the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose whoshould have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal referencesand confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporarycustody to Phillip Fulmer and the University of Tennessee football team,whom the boy firmly believes is not capable of beating anyone!

What do ya think? Terrible isn't it.
later

Its Thursday

2005-10-20T13:16:00.000-07:00

I am so glad it is close to the weekend. I am going to try and go to curves, parent teacher conference and a meeting at church for the private school, all by 6:30 and it is 3:18 wow I have a lot to do! But I will make it.

I am counting down the days.6 days to go. Radiation will be done YESSSSSS. I would love to have a party or something!!! I just might who knows.

I started selling home and garden and haven't sold anything yet!! I need to get motivated. HELP!

Hello

2005-10-18T13:34:00.000-07:00

Hi! I am sitting here in a messy house wanting to clean but not wanting too!! Does that sound familliar. I have been reading a book on how to train your children to mind on the first time you tell them to do something. I want to do it. I just hope Scott will get on board!! I really doubt it. He never agrees with the way I do things. Sad isn't it.

I am on my 5th week of radiation YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! I am ready to stay home without having to go somewhere everyday. Sara will be home soon. I always enjoy her coming home. Thursday is teacher parent conferences. I am going to see if she mentions it to me! I will let ya know.

well I am watching Dr. Phil I will catch you later!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

2005-10-17T14:53:00.000-07:00

Yes october is breast cancer awareness month. So are you aware? I hope you all do self breast examanation every month. The first day of your period is a good day, or the day of your birthday. (like the 2nd for me) If you ever find a lump it is important to get it seen about. I have learned from personal experience the sooner you get treated for breast cancer the better the outcome. Most lumps are not cancerous, but the peace of mind will be worth getting it checked out.

Breast Cancer is NOT a death sentence!!!!

Family Day at Nissan

2005-10-15T17:44:00.000-07:00

Today was family day at Nissan. We had a really good time. You can play bingo or play games and win prizes, you can ride carnival rides. Eat cotton candy, popcorn or snowcones. There are the big ballon thingy kids love to jump on or in. and they also have a health fair where you get alot of stuff. And the best thing about it is that its all free. Lunch, rides, everything. Its isn't quite as big as a county fair. Well it tends to depend on how big the county is I guess. it is close.

I have finished my 4th week of radiation. Just 2 more to go!!!YAHOO. I am going to have to take tamoxifin for 5 years after that. I am not sure how I am going to like that. But I can handle it.

My friend at church are going to start our breast cancer support group in January. I am really excited about it. I just hope it is a sucess.

I am starting to grow alittle more hair. But not enough for me to go without the hat just yet.

Delaney is growing and learning so fast. She is talking better and better. She is also whinning better and better too.:)

Phil Valentine

2005-10-06T16:12:00.000-07:00

Do any of you guys listen to Phil Valentine. I have been since I started my radiation. I love this guy. I feel like he is my older brother. I love his voice but it doesn't match his face. He is on 99.7 right before Dave Ramsey.

I am starting to get a little sore. I went to curves today and it made me feel pretty good. I would really like to get a tread mill. My mom has one I would like to buy but she won't sell it too me. She thinks she will probably use it, but I really doubt it. Oh well.

I am fixing to go get a salad at the Brass Lantern. It is the nicest resturant we have in town. It has pretty good food.

I need to get on the ball on the breast cancer support group that A friend and I are talking about. I am very serious about it. I am almost afraid its just going to be something to talk about and never happens.

Our cat died yesterday! Chloe is going to be so sad. She doesn't know yet. She lives at her moms house during the week. She has raised it from a kitten till now. Scott thinks I ran over it. But I know it was dead before I even drove in the driveway. The dogs were sniffin around and then I saw it twiching.

The stories of our lives aren't they interesting???

Another project

2005-10-04T12:40:00.000-07:00

I have decided to start selling Home and Garden products. I figure my family says in there head, here we go again. I get excited about something and then it fizzles. I guess that is the way alot of things go. I really want to make some money especially for Christmas. I am not really into the winning of prizes and competeing with all these other girls. I think that is cheesy sometimes. Don't get me wrong I will take free things, but that is not my goal of working. I just want to make money and be able to stay at home with my precious Delaney.

I am on my 3rd week of radiation I am doing ok with it. I am exercising too so that helps me stay fit.

I have been going to curves and I really enjoy it. You should try it.

When I went to radiation I saw a girl who had breast cancer. I got to talk to her. It was nice. It is sad that people have to go thru that. I am blessed my chemo went the way it did. She said hers was really rough. She was a lot sicker than I . I thank God for hearing my prayers and being with me thru that.

Yes I am still here

2005-09-29T15:54:00.000-07:00

I know I know I have been lazy. I just haven't felt like writing this week. I go in spurts. I have doing radiation this week and last and I haven't had much time for leisure. I am cooking lasagna for supper tonight. I use the no boil noodles. Its really easy.

The county fair is this week. I went to the demolition derby. It was fun there was a fight and stuff.

There is a new study out that left handed women get breast cancer more times than right handed people. Who thought that up. I thought well I am right handed my twin sister is left handed. Maybe the cancer got screwed up and forgot which sis to go in. HAHA I thought it was crazy. Can you imagine your money going for that kind of research. Oh well

It was alot cooler this morning. when I dropped Delaney off at moms today it was 56 degrees. But the sun did come out and warm it up a bit. but it is still nice out side.

mmmmmmmm I smell foood I love to eat. But Idid start back going to curves. I have lost 18 inches all together. They gave me a free t-shirt. I said I didn't loose this coming to curves, it was the chemo diet hehe. But they still gave me the t-shirt.

Did you see LSU get beat by the Vols it was a great game. Go Vols. My husband was happy and that is all that matters.

watching vols get wooped!

2005-09-17T19:56:00.000-07:00

Even though the score is only 7 to 13 it isn't looking good for the big orange. Anything can happen but who knows. My husband is biting the pillow and his nails and he will sit there and chew on his shirt. He is so cute. Our Defense is doing ok. the offense isn't so well.

My kids are driving me nuts can I smack them. Ok I won't but what is up. I am a terrible mom aren't I.

I am ready for bed but I know I can't until this game is over. Church is tomorrow I am glad I like going to church to see my family. I have one of the best church families you can find.

all taped up

2005-09-17T10:57:00.000-07:00

I went friday for my x-rays to start my radiation. I have tape all over my chest and blue marks. Oh so attractive. They really itch. How are you supposed to keep that on for 6 weeks. I guess everybody else does so I can too.

Tonight is the Vols 2nd game. My husband is excited. I guess I am too. I like it but I don't go crazy over it.

Mom and I went to Columbia together. We had a really good time. It was one of the first time I felt we were friends and not just mother and daughter if you knew what I mean. I bought 3 t-shirts for breast cancer awareness. I am going crazy buying pink. It is my new favorite color. Wal-mart had some really cute t-shirts.

busy day

2005-09-15T20:16:00.000-07:00

I ran myself crazy today. I went to see Becky in Florence today, and my husband Scott called me and said he needed me to pick him up because he had a dr.s appointment and the guy he rides with leaves at 4 and his appointment is at 3 and he wont be back in time. Becky lives a hour away and Scotts work is a hour and a half away. So I feel like I have been driving all day.

Did you you like my picture of Delaney and I. She is so cute. I hate my double chin YUCK!!! But other than that I think its pretty good. You should see me with out the hat:)

I went to McDonalds today and the guy in the drive thr looked and me and was talking so sweet to me I thought what is up. And when he handed me my bag he said God bless you. I thought whats UP with that. And then I realized he was feeling sorry for me because I am bald. He thought I was still sick of course. I want to laugh and say I AM FINE> BEING BALD DOESN"T MEAN YOUR DECREPTED. I know people try to be kind and all I just think its funny. I forget I am bald sometimes.
Well I am getting sleepy and I have a long day tomorrow. ANOTHER Drs appointment. Arggg. Oh well maybe I will meet someone neat while I am there.

Jennifer & Delaney

2005-09-15T10:56:00.000-07:00

boring day

2005-09-13T11:15:00.000-07:00

Today is a boring day. I really don't know why. My husband has been sick with a head cold. And you know how men can be when they are sick. I went to the Dr. to be set up for radiation. They were really nice. And they explained things very well. I am learning that it really matters how you are treated, and if you don't like your Dr. you can fire them.

A friend at church and I are thinking of starting a breast cancer survivor group in our town. I hope they we go thru with it.

I've started a class at church title the Lies that Women Believe. I think it is going to be good. You know us women beat up on ourselves. We are our worst enemies.

I am itching to get active. I think I am going to start exercising again. I think it will be harder because I am always hurting somewhere. But they said that excercise will help when you take radiation.

Football will be on the menu for the rest of the season. OH BOY!! I like it but it gets old after awhile. I mean you watch it, and then after it is over you discuss play by play what you just watched. Whats Up? Why can't you just watch it and go on with your life. Well I just am thankful it doesn't last forever.:)

Go Vols! It is a lot better if they win. If not I have a grumpy husband.
