Well, you think I've been away from this place long enough???  So I quit posting when my dh read a post and took what I said wrong.  I've decided that I really need this place to vent and I am back to posting...I love my dh so very much and I've never lied or kept anything from him so...I might as well continue posting.

So...I need to re-work this color scheme a bit and of course now the baby is crying....I shall return...

My brother and SIL's doctor is 85% sure they are having a girl!!!!  WOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO.....we are getting a baby girl!!!  I realize that it could be a boy...I've known some people that the ultrasound said girl but when that baby was born....that baby said....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...I'm a boy..LOL...

They go back in one month and hopefully will see again if it's still a girl.  My mom and I are so freaking excited...LOL...we want to start shopping NOW. 


Well...have to be at the hospital with Logan at 5:30am...ugh...surgery is set for 7:30am...last time it took all of 10mins and then I took Logan home about 8:30am...so...I will have to go to bed early tonight...will have to tape the season perimeres of CSI: Miami and Medium...oh and Las Vegas.....

Glenn is home this weekend~ he got up this morning and took them out at 7:30am so I could sleep in.  That was so awesome of him.  My Mom found someone to babysit for us tonight so we are actually going to go to a PARTY!!!  We are so excited....

So I'm doing laundry and stressing about money...I'm so freaked...about it...and now we need diapers and wipes for Logan.    Oh, Well....

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

So of course my first tidbit is so intriguing to me...


Zellweger, Chesney: Over
"Wednesday in Los Angeles, Zellweger checked the paperwork box marked "fraud," and filed for an annulment from her country star husband of four months."


I honestly don't understand celebrities...I realize their lives are different from all of us "ordinary" folks but saying vows and getting married is no joke..I feel like they treat it like it is.  Fraud...what exactly does that mean...that he is gay...okay..so he's gay...who cares...so why did he have to go and get married.  I can't imagine what "fraud" would mean...in divorce papers...guess we will wait and see.   Like this whole Jennifer/Brad thing....WHY did he have to turn out to be such a JERK!!  I mean if you can't seperate being an actor and your "true" self then you aren't a very good actor...In My Opinion.  Like Jennifer Garner...that chick just has MAJOR issues...falling in love with EVERY costar she has had almost...WHATEVER......I have no respect for her and it just kills me that Ben Affleck is with her because I really like him.   Anyway...there are more important things to ponder then celebrities and their screwy lives but I just wish that celebrites and people respected "marriage" and what it means more then they do.  I'm not saying stay married if your spouse beats you, cheats on you, is an alcoholic, or any horrible things like that...I'm just saying for the people who are just like...Okay...I'm done with you...NEXT....................

I am very lucky I married the man I did....he has his quirks and sometimes we argue, disagree and plain just don't like each other BUT...he is the most amazing man in the world...I love him....there is no way I'd ever think about leaving him or cheating on him.  I am lucky he is such a wonderful husband and father....but honestly...their is no way I'd jeapordize what we have or put our kids thru anything as stupid as cheating on him.   We have some friends that are getting divoriced...and it has just put things into perspective about what is really important in life to me....anyway...topic over...you don't have to agree or disagree with me...

Okay...back to reality....

Landon is in school everyday from 9-12 and I'm working MWF at the gym
from 9-1 so it works out great...the gym is like a hop and a skip from
the church. TTH are nice break when Logan is napping.

Landon is doing so well with potty training and so much better now
that he is back in school with how he deals with Logan. He is such an
amazing big brother but when it was the 3 of us 24/7 he would get
really frustrated and jealous...want to be a baby again, wear diapers
and have a paci. Thankfully with almost 2 weeks of school underway
things are much better...he teaches Logan songs and shows Logan what
he made...tells him about his friends the playground...it is so fun to
watch and listen...poor Logan has no clue but he laughs and smiles and
that is all Landon needs.


He is so proud that he has learned "open" "shut" and walks around
opening and shuting everything and telling us every time he does
it....also Old MacDonald is the new fav song to sing all day loooooooong.


I think I've typed all this before in a post now that I read it....oh well...no biggie....

Opehila 


We got a little rain on Wednesday and Thursday.

Glenn is at school in Greenville 2 hours southeast of us...they
canceled classes on Wednesday and Thursday till 12noon at ECU so he is just hanging in the dorms.
The biggest problem they are worrying about is flooding because O is
moving so slow...7 miles an hour and at times standing still...so I
think those of us in the triangle will be fine but the low areas
(where Glenn is) and further south and east may have flooding
issues...My parents are so happy that they sold the beach
house...LOL...I'm still a bit sad BUT after Katrina we all think a
Mountain Retreat may be the next investment...LOL

We will be pretty good unless we ever have a Hurricane Catagory 3, 4 or 5 then the Triangle would feel effects like the coast...but *praying* we don't have to worry about that for awhile...they have had some interesting articles about hurricane's and reports about how it would and could effect us here. Now...if people will listen to them...

It did flood in Southport/ Caswell Beach where Mom and Dad had their beach house so...God works in mysterious ways and my parents are glad they don't have to deal with that clean up.  They are thinking a Mountain Retreat is the next investment...LOL....We shall see...Glenn and I still want a beach house...hurricanes or not...we love the beach...the Oak Island is part of our history and it means so much to us...we may not end up there but the beach has real meaning and pulls us spiritually. 

Well this is really long and I wanted to still talk about the Anniversary of September 11th and some things about Kartina and the people who had to leave the New Orleans area....I guess it can wait till later....my eyes are starting to cross. 

Just some fun stuff I discovered:

Thank goodness I go to the doctor next Thursday....I feel like I'm falling apart...I have never had migranes before but today....I can't even see straight...lord help me if I have to drive somewhere.   My body is so outta wack all the sudden...hot flashes...headaches....can't sleep...can't get enough sleep....ugh...blah.

On top of it all poor logan's left ear is infected, he tube is clogged.  The ear drops and the antibotics did NOT help so he had to get a shot...I can't remember the name of it but we go tomorrow for the second round of it...then Monday for the 3rd and Tuesday the 20th he has his surgery for replacing the left tube. 

Be Back...Landon...........

I can't believe it is Septmeber 12th already....our baby is going to be 9 months old....how does this happen....*sigh*....Logan is getting so big everyday. 

I have so much I want to type about but I can't seem to remember everything...I'm stunned by things that are happening in America due to New Orleans being flooded...it is just so sad...


I joined this scrapbooking group on Yahoo and it is so much fun...

I have joined a bunch of swaps and I've got things ready to mail.  I 
am making these things called shakers that I had never heard of before
but I'm excited.  I am searching and searching for those darn 
snaps...ugh I'm getting frustrated about those. 

These are so cute:

Top Ten Signs of a Scrapbook Addict 

10 - You're the only one at your family gathering yelling, "Just one 
more photo everyone; I don't have enough for a two-page spread! 

9 - Tiny little punch shapes can be found inconspicuously in; school 
lunch bags, briefcases, pants pockets, the dog's water bowl. 

8 - A simple note to your child's teacher is no longer acceptable; it 
must be printed out in fancy colored fonts and cropped with decorative 
edges.

7 - On your tax return you've claimed your album purchases as a medical
 expense because it's such darn good "therapy". 

6 - You buy a new purple and yellow poka-dotted swimsuit because it 
matches the that cool photo mounting paper.

5 - Your child prodigy is the only one in AG class who thinks the 
word "crop" means to "cut your photos."

4 - When your 2 year old refuses to sit on Santa's lap you ask your 
husband if he will so you can use those cool matching stickers you 
bought for the occasion. 

3 - Your newly redecorated family room now coordinates nicely 
with your photo albums. 

2 - Your preschooler is now questioning if their coloring book is 
of "archival quality".

1 - You're in the emergency room getting stitches and your first 
thought is, 'I wonder what die-cut shape will coordinate 
with this event.

  #7 and #1 are totally me...LOL...


Back to Life...

We went to Greenville this weekend to visit Glenn and had such 
a nice time. Little Loggie got sick but it seems we can't stop the funk 
in this house.  So Mom and I bleached everything today!!  So hopefully we
will all be on the up and up.  


I know I had more I wanted to add...oh well...this is why i need to post everyday.
So I can remember stuff....I'm getting way to old...

Bye golly I think he has it folks.  He still needs help but he is doing a great job.  Poor Landon is so sick....he had to miss the first day of pre-school today.  I think he will be fine tomorrow.  I am going to call off work for Thursday and Friday.  I am not feeling good and with Logan's ear infection...I just don't want him there.

I have been organizing my scrapbooking stuff in hopes that when I get the boys to bed tonight I can work on some.  I need a couple organizing type things...maybe a trip to Michael's or AC Moore is needed......  It is so quite around here...kind of spooky but the weather is amazing so I can leave the door open and windows up.  Such a nice breeze. 

The boys are playing Monster Trucks I just love listening to them play together...it is so sweet...then Landon takes something from Logan and Logan screams...LOL....brothers....

Yesterday I went to Parent Orientation at Landon's school...nothing new should be a fun semester for him.  Looks like he won't return after Christmas since he will need all day care and I'm trying to find a place to take the boys.  Today was Landon's Meet the Teacher and that was okay...he was kinda clingy which surprised me.  We went out on the play ground, Landon and a couple kids were playing in the sand and next thing I know the little boy "H" was screaming...it seems Landon was throwing sand and wacked the kid in the nose and his nose was bleeding like crazy.  I was horrifed...mortifed....it was awful.   I honestly don't think he did the hitting on purpose but he does throw sand and knows that is not OK.  He was not allowed to play with his monster trucks or watch TV the rest of the day.  So we will see how that goes.


So this horrible Hurricane has just done some serious damage in New Orleans...Katrina...she will go down in history for sure.  It's so sad to read about dead bodies floating down the street....a man having to decide to help his wife or kids...making that decision and living with it....I pray for these people everyday. 











I can't imagine what is going thru the minds of these people.  I'm so sorry for them...I'm sure they feel there world has ended....

and Gas prices...good grief...  When we bought our van in August 2002 it took 20.00 to fill up me 18gallon tank....today I put 14.5 gallons in and it cost 48.00 dollars....I bought gas for 3.29/gallon but most places are 3.30/gallon. 



I can't tell you how glad I am we only have one car and we don't have that diesel truck anymore.  I know prices will come back down but OMGosh!!!  Of course my parents think we are crazy freaking out about it....LOL...they say it's just because it's Labor day weekend...  I guess we will see next week.

 After everything with this Hurricane my problems are so petty but I went to visit a daycare near big WakeMed and right beside WakeTech Health campus and I loved it.  It was top of the line 5star.  It was awesome...worth every cent...of course that is the problem.  To take the boys there it will cost $1600.00/month for both of them.....  I have NO clue how we can afford that...but it's our kids...our precious angels...they are totally worth it if I can figure out where to get that kind of money.  Landon would have 30mins of Spanish everyday, taught about computers, have 2 outside playtimes, have gym class everyday....it would be a great place for him to be learning....Oh well...I'm still searching for "free" money...LOL...I need to go to Finanical Aid next week sometime and do some searching for scholarships and grants.   I signed up for subsidised childcare but it's a year wait...ugh....

All in All life is good....Logan is trying so hard to walk, Landon starts back to preschool, Glenn and I are madly in love and BOTH working towards the careers we REALLY want...who could ask for more.


Till next time.....

Peace   and Love
