Make an Impact!

I'm going to be demanding and show my High maintenance, persistent side.
I want to make an impact... If anyone is reading this help a girl out eh?
So I came across a page of a girl (lady) named Tracey... Tracey is just like you, me and who ever else. She is participating in the race for a cure. She has a small goal in my opinion ($300.00) and I thought gosh that cant be hard to get. She is already at a $100 and how cool would it be to help a complete stranger meet or exceed that with something that has a personal meaning to them. You see Tracey's friend and neighbor is battling cancer. While mine personal impact remains with Diabetes I am so willing to help out those who take action in things that have a deep personal meaning. So all I need you to do is visit her page... Donate a small amount, show some love from around the states, world! I know you guys have it in you!!!

Spread the love!!

It Never Gets Old

That's Cris... Katie looks real amused by his presence... poor girl.

My boys are such great kids and I love the humor they bring.
I wanted to list a few funnies or little quirks that they do.

* I was having a conversation with the boys after picking them up from their fathers. they had visited with one of their aunts and cousins so I inquired as to how they were doing and if their cousin chantel still had a lot of hair (she has always had thick gorgeous hair) Cris tells me it is short and I told him I didn't mean long when I said a lot. he replies and I swear these are his words. "Let me put it to you this way, she looks just like Dora, The hair and everything" hahaha, it was so cute! The best part is she kinda does, I just never associated that.

* The boys have this thing with tunnels, they scream, not an absolute loud one, more of a humming loud with your mouth wide open type. Sometimes it catches me off guard because if we are just driving and conversing it just happens and I am so unaware, but EVERY time they do it without fail. And I can never get mad or irritated, its almost contagious but I just laugh. The best part is if anyone is in the car with us they look over at me like "what the hell is going on".
We have a tunnel Choir!

* Jinx!!! I remember this game, but now the stakes have raised to soda's and things, you don't just jinx someone and the other person has to be quiet for a certain amount of time or until someone else says their name. So the other day they were telling me about something and they both said the same thing at the same time. Kace said Jinx and started counting..Cris quickly screams stop! I think Kace's quick counting got Cris owing Kace 8 Soda's...seeing as how I am not big on drinking soda (absolutely no value to it) I don't know how they plan on working that out, but it happened so fast. I would've owed a 100 or something before I figured out why he was counting.

* I just met the boys father in a parking lot to send them off with him for the weekend. As we both pulled out of the parking lot I ended up behind them. Cris turns around in his seat and starts giving me that little motion where you take two fingers and motion them from your eyes and point to the other person, meaning that you are watching them. Typically this is seen in movies. Well this little guy does this to me! Too cute. It was spontaneous and humorous. How do kids think of these things so quickly!

* Kace has a thing he does where if your talking it doesn't have to be about something specific he will come up behind you, put his arm around you and say "I know how you feel buddy".


I love these boys! They are awesome!

This Is Only A Test

So I am going to be all over the place today. I wanted to blog about a few things for the past few days but I needed my "verbal Vomit" session with Michal before I did. I wanted to go in with a clear head. I still have everything but that, but I love those sessions, walking into the old building with its old building smell. It never gets old... I take a deep breath as I walk in the door and let out a sigh... sigh of relief, and comfort.

I am working some things out with my mother and in the meantime scrambling for a place to move as school starts next week and by choice I am homeless (not in the full sense but it feels that way) and my kids have no school identified. I am happy with my choice and confident that it will all work out though. Not that I don't want to spend time with my mother and be closer in proximity to the boys father for their sake, but I need "my" place back and to do things the way I am comfortable and enjoy them without criticism. I am a huge independent and sometimes its hard for those who necessarily are not to see that.



I went to the wedding this past Saturday with E and his parents. His cousin was getting married and it was E's mothers side of the family. She has 10 other siblings so the aunt's, uncle's and cousins were numbered greatly, I have not met most of them, but since it was a wedding they embraced me and treated me as if I was a part of their family, and just like any other family... large or small, they had their issues, but all were set aside.
As we arrive the groom and his groomsmen were approaching the church, the groom texting his soon to be bride on his cell phone. She sent him one telling him she loved him so much, awwww. As we sat and awaited for the ceremony to start I opened up the program and the groom had written a poem for his bride and printed it inside. crap, I was screwed...good thing the tissue packets were handed out already.
The wedding went well... I enjoyed myself, E enjoyed himself and aside from him asking the girl in the taco bell drive thru to marry him after he apparently had a little too much wine, I am more secure in knowing that we do fit well together, that we can take our bad days and work with them together, and I don't need to always hide behind the shield I have been holding up. I cant say that the wedding did not make me want that, I will admit that since then I have done some "looking" on bridal websites... I'm not sure what that means for E... as I am not sure if it is more about him or more of the idea of wanting that at some point.


on some cute notes that were just too cute to pass up... my brother and his wife had their 3rd child this past week and their first boy. I love babies so I am going to share a couple photo's of this little guy with his sisters...





Now I am not just being a proud Aunt, but that is pretty darn cute!!!
