The baby was crying tonight and we've figured out that music videos seem to calm him down.  I turned it to OnDemand and went to the video section.  We all laughed at some of the choices and decided to watch a very old Michael Jackson video.  Beat it.  The baby was completely into it.  Jumping around and dancing and even attempting to sing.  I know ( Read more... )

I love Halloween!  It's one of my favorite holidays.  Two years ago was the first time I took the kids trick-or-treating.  Aliyah was 5 and Xavier was 4.  We were living in Las Vegas at the time and almost every house had gone out of their way for the holiday.  There were pumpkins and all sorts of decorations.  People were hiding in bushes jumping ( Read more... )

It's the eve of my birthday and just like years before I'm thinking about what my mother was doing this very day.  Was she having contractions?  Did she know in just a few hours I would be born?  Was she already in the hospital ( Read more... )

I had a really great night tonight.  Went out with some friends and my husband to see a movie, and was looking forward to Fathers Day and spending it with my dad and husband.  (We're going to a Rockies game)  Anyways, we came home and layed in bed and talked for a long time before we decided we were hungry and ordered a pizza.  (no wonder I'm a ( Read more... )

My husband is taking his aggression out on me.  The ex-wife is messing with him again and is driving him nuts.  Not only that, but it seems his daughter has turned into her mother overnight.  The ex is nagging about him getting his daughter registered in school.  We've both been down to the school and spoken with them and we know we can come in ( Read more... )

Yesterday was so much fun!  After having cake and ice cream we went out to my dads house to let the kids ride.  We even managed to get Aliyah back on after breaking her arm back in March.  It was so much fun to watch them.  Xavier needs the practice since he will start racing soon.  He did good except for running into the big green metal gate that ( Read more... )

I seriously need to get this out.  I am so sick of people thinking that because I'm a mom I need to be the soccer mom.  I am completely opposite of the soccer mom.  I cuss!  I could make a sailor blush.  I am not a girly girl, although I wear mascara everytime I go out.  I don't give a damn what your baby did or said and I don't give a fuck when ( Read more... )

Who is she, and who am I

hating her while living a lie.

Ties that bound are now no more,

wedding vows tossed upon the floor.

You look away knowing I'll see,

the price I'll pay for your misdeed.

She calls again and I wilt away,

listening closely to what you will say.

How can I hate what I can't control?

Loneliness pressing with no words to console.

I gave you ( Read more... )

David is looking into going into the army.  I support him all the way, but I'm not looking forward to him being gone a lot.  He deploys so much as it is, but now it will be for such a long time.  I can't complain though.  There are so many people dealing with this issue right now and I have no right to gripe and complain.  I'll keep you posted.
