It's been a long time since I've posted anything on my page but the last weeks
have proved that this is an appropriate title for my page. Between "dead beat dad issues," and other family member issues raising six and seven kids seems to be a breeze. But I do believe this life is a journey, and we are constantly learning on this journey, and I'm definitely learning this week. Don't know if you know, but not only do I have seven kids, I'm one of seven kids. I've always treated my youngest siblings more like children then siblings and loved them as such, but maybe that's where I went wrong. ... Now that me and my youngest sister are not getting along, I kind of feel like a mother who has lost her child. Of course I won't get into the details, but at this point I'm so upset I will say that it's because I don't get along with her husband. I watch this on Dr. Phil, all the time, where parents don't like their child's spouse, but I have to learn that it's not for me to like him, it's her that has to like him. And I'm okay with that. So it's time that I cut the cord. My sister is not my child, she's grown and can do what she wants. But I can't watch, and don't want to. I'm sure at this point she's okay with that too. It's sad when you feel like you loose a family member, or in my case when it feels like someone has snatched them away. Just because he wanted a family, he had to come and snatch mine away, but I digress. The situation really sucks, and I hope that in time, me and my sister will be okay. But I do know that we can both be very stubborn. So I will just say to my sister who I loved like a child her whole life, "Love you, and always will!" But for now, it will be from afar.

Hey all, been missing everyone, I've been so busy I haven't had
time to post, but my nerves are so bad, I've been needing to. Sooo, lots of things going on, I've been baking cupcakes, became a Mary Kay consultant, and finally got Mason out of our bed!!! Woopee! So this is how it happen. Last Saturday, Bobby and I were in desperate need for some private time, but every few minutes someone was knocking on the door. So finally we said that's it! "Mason, you're going to have to sleep in your own bed!" Oh my gosh, he screamed and cried. Bobby and I stayed in his room to try to get him to stay. We watched Spiderman and his amazing Friends and X-men while we sat in there. Finally around 1:45 he fell asleep, and we went to bed. He got up a couple of hours later and we m...ade him sleep on the couch in our room. The next day and since then, he's been laying on his spiderman couch next to my side of the bed. He gets up every couple of hours, trying to scoot up next to me, but I've been standing strong and not letting him in. Hopefully we can get him out of our room completely soon, but we're taking baby steps. I can't tell you though, how nice it is to sleep in the bed with only one baby instead of three. Malachi hasn't been in our bed either. He comes in and gets on our couch but at least it's not in our bed. So now, it's just me, Bobby and Max, which gives us a lot more space. As far as being a Mary Kay consultant, I'm really excited about that too. I started using the skin care again, and my skin is looking so much better. They have this lip mask that I've been using, and I don't even need chapstick anymore. I'm not going to say much about Mary Kay right now, but everyone keep it on your mind, because I'll be getting to you about it eventually. My cupcakes are coming along too. Once I get that going good, I'll let you all know what's so special about them. Anyway, I won't stay along too long next time. Tomorrow I have to go talk to an after school teacher who hasn't been very nice to Malachi. I've already talked to the head teacher, but nothing has changed so I'll let you all know how that goes. Whooo, I tell you, a mother's work is never gone. Talk to you all soon. |
