Long Time Gone...

I know, its been a while! I think my computer is about to take a shit so I only use it when I have to!

Here's my girls on Halloween, don't they look too cute!?!?!?!

Works going good. We did have a staff meeting at our preschool yesterday and they told us that next year we will all be transferring to other schools. All the elementary schools will have 1-2 preschool classes each, this year, only one school has a classroom and then we have our building. Katee started preschool this year, its amazing how "full" our classes are, but I tell my boss I want Katee to go to school, and she starts that same week! She loves it to, if it was up to her she'd probably live at school. I hope she keeps that attitude growing up! :)

We got our yearly Christmas Party invitation in the mail the other day, for the boyfriends work. Its in Glenwood Springs at the Hotel Colorado. Its suppose to be haunted by Doc Holiday! I've stayed there before last year, its actually a really cool old hotel! Its beautiful!

Other than that, not too much has happened. Life's been pretty good to me.

Update...

So I know its been a while since I've been on this thing, but I've been really busy! I got a new job working for the school district as an aide for special needs children. I love it! Its hard physically and mentally, but its so nice knowing you are making life a little easier for these children who need a little extra help. We still haven't sold our house and with the economy like it is, we probably won't be anytime soon...damn! The girls are growing like crazy! Kaci is literally running all over my house now, and Katee is learning so much in her little daycare/pre-school! Next year however, Katee will be in real preschool at a real elementary school for half a day. I can't wait!

GREAT NEWS! The psycho chick, switched crews at the coal mine and no longer works with my guy! They are on completely different schedules and rumors have it, she has a new boyfriend! I wonder who he's married to...

I'll try to be on here more often now, with the new job and the new hours, I've been working on getting the girls and I back on a schedule, but its going pretty good now!

Our First Showing...

So, today was the first showing of house. I'm not sure how it went because your not allowed to be there, but hopefully they loved it! I want out of this house and hopefully out of this town! The talk around our house, is that, if we sell our house for our asking price, after paying the Realtors and closing costs we will have a good $16,000.00 in our pockets! So we're either going to pay my car off and get a bigger, better house here OR take the money and run off to Texas. Either of the decisions is fine with me. Of course my Mother and my Grandmother want us to go to Texas, because they would be there shortly after us, but now, this town is beginning to grow on me.

The Crazy Bitch switched crews at work, so that means she no longer has ANYTHING to do with my boyfriend or my family. Which means maybe things will die down and I can run into her in this little town without shit being said. I know we will NEVER be friends or anything but I want peace in my life. I want to go to the store, or the bar without a fight and without name calling. I want a normal drama free life. Crazy huh!?!?! Hahaha!

Well, Katee's doctor called me, and of course, like I thought, they told me all of her tests had came back normal. They told me this before when she was one, and having seizures. She said I needed to just watch her and see what happens. Hopefully this is all over and we can move on from this.

With all the stress that's been going on in my life with the whole Katee situation, I'm going to go back to something I used to love, running. I will start running a mile 3X's a week, I want to get back into shape and exercise is an unbelievable stress reliever. I just hope I still love it as much as I used to!

August 1st 2008...HAPPY BIRTHDAY KACI!

She is now 1 years old! Yay!

Its been a while since I have wrote but I'm having some serious medical issues with my oldest. When she was 1 1/2 she had seizures for about a week and they never found anything wrong with her, but now, two years later, she's doing it again. As soon as I get a chance to actually sit and write I'll fill everyone in!

Denver Zoo

Weekend Update...

So nothing too exciting happened for me this weekend. Scott left to go to St. Louis for a week for work, and I'm alone with the girls for the next 5 days.

I was convinced to stay at work for another two weeks to help train the new girls, I'm a softy, I give in too easily! :) So now, my last day will be the 22nd, and I can't wait!

Scott and I are in the process of buying a new house! It isn't new, but it is new to us! I hate this process though and I now remember why I hated moving before! :P

Saturday was actually a really good day. Scott and I took the girls and our two dogs to the river on the four-wheeler (Its actually a Polaris Ranger, but anyway) we were all alone, the weather was amazing, the mosquito's were rare and the water was beautiful! Katee and I got in it and played fetch with Hunter (our black lab).

I was blessed with the day off today since my babysitter wasn't feeling all that well, but I decided that working isn't such a bad thing, I don't sit at home and eat all day like I do when I'm here! :) Very bad for your diet, very good about getting chores done!

On another note, one of my best friends is pregnant and they might be having some difficulties, she won't say for sure, but you can hear it in her voice when she tells you about her doctors appointments. These people are already parents to a three year old little boy and really want this other baby. I'm asking you to say a little prayer for all the families who want babies and have problems while trying. I think its a shame that the people who are amazing and want babies are the ones who have problems and all the drug accident, hookers, child abusers, etc... can have healthy babies. This just doesn't seem right to me. My friends will be in my prayers every night, and I wish them the best, I know that they want that child more than anything and I hope it all goes well in the end. A child is really a miracle and I hope they get to experience that joy again with this baby.

I hope everyone had a good Monday!

Crappy, Shitty Vehicles

So we just got my Tahoe fixed after my Moose incident, and Scott just called me to let me know his power steering and tranny just went out in his truck...Can we get a break? We are in our early 20's with two kids, we don't have the money to fork out everytime something like that breaks! When's it ever going to end???

The WORST Car Trip EVER!!!!

So Sunday night I was on my way back home when one of the signs on I-70 said "Hwy 13 Closed North of Rifle." Well, I figured I'd drive to the highway and see if it was open by the time I got there, well it wasn't. I was told of a detour to Meeker, so I decided to go ahead and try it. The officer directing traffic told me it was only a 45 minute detour. I can handle that! Well, he was wrong! It took me 7 HOURS to get home, usually its only a 2-3 hour trip. First of all, the road I was told to take is a dirt road through a mountain and secondly, its full of huge ass wildlife! I learned that the hard way...

I was about 3/4 of the way off the mountain dirt road when a MOOSE ran out in front of me, making me slam on my breaks, run off the side of the road, and blow my front drivers side tire on a rock! Let me remind you, I'm in the middle of BFE with no cell phone reception and no other drivers. (I should know how to change my tire but I don't. Believe me though, I'm going to learn here fast!) I started to freak out, it was getting dark, cold and mosquito infested and both of my girls were screaming. They were tired, hungry and sick of being in the car, and we were stranded! An hour and a half later, a couple finally drove by and helped me fix my flat. Thank God for them! After the next 30 minutes I was on my way home! I left Junction at 4:00pm and arrived home at 11:00pm.

Lets just say, even though the road was absolutely beautiful, I'll NEVER drive it again, alone at least!

I Quit!

I was told today that we were not getting raises and was never told we were...I put in my two weeks today! My last day will be on the 8th!

I HATE my job!

So I found out today that the OTHER girls at work got their much needed raises! Yea! I feel like if I wouldn't have went in and talked to the boss it would've never happened. The real shitty part though, I have yet to recieve mine. I'm going to have a little "talk" in the morning with my boss and see whats up. The way things have been going lately, I don't think I will be working at the bank for too much longer...

My Family

This is my immediate family. They are the most important people in my life and they always will be!

Scott, Katee and Kaci - My two beautiful little girls and their father, the love of my life!

Zachary and Logan (with Katee) - My younger, bigger brother and my little sister!

Mom (with Logan and Kaci) - The day my youngest was born!

Dad (with Katee) - This is a side view but the only picture I have!

Bambi

One thing I LOVE about my town, the wildlife! Look at this brand new baby deer that was at work today! Seeing this kind-of stuff makes a great morning! It was amazing watching this little guy walk and nurse for the first time! Wonderful!

IT SNOWED!!!!

Yes, you read that right, it snowed. I mean sticking to the ground, still snowing when I woke up snow! Only In Colorado right?!?!?!

Pissed Again!

So they are hiring NEW TELLERS at work, for a dollar more an hour than us girls who have stuck around through all the bullshit! I think its time to find a new job!

I Need To Vent...

Who the hell do you think you are? Do you think you are just so special that you can ruin lives and get whatever you want whenever?!?!?! You are truthfully a stupid, stupid girl who has no respect for yourself or anyone else. Leave us alone, leave them alone, we are all happy with our lives without you in it! He "broke your heart" because he wanted to be with his wife and kids and that makes him an asshole? Are you fucking kidding me? That makes you sound like the inconsiderate bitch you really are. Who in the hell says that? If anything, a normal decent person would be encouraging someone to fix their problems with their family, not trying everything in their will-power to break it up. Stop the phone calls, stop the text messaging, stop the shit talking and just grow-up. You are 26 years old and you act like your 16, we aren't in high school anymore, their are children's lives in the picture now, have you ever thought of that? Wait, no, you wouldn't, because that would mean you were actually thinking of someone other than yourself for once and I don't think you know how to do that! Leave my family the Fuck alone! You are by far the nastiest person I have ever met.

Kaci Update!

She stood all by herself for the first time today! It was for only 3 seconds, but still, it was so cool! She pulled up on the couch and let go! Crazy girl!

Kaci Lynn...

Is 10 Months Old TODAY!!! It seems like just yesterday that she was born. She is now crawling, pulling up to stand and is able to sit up all by herself! Its amazing how much a human being is required to learn in such a small amount of time! Its amazing watching her!

So Bored!

I'm sitting all alone at my house with nothing to do. My house is clean, my laundry is finished and the girls are 3 hours away spending th weekend with their grandparents. The boyfriend is working and won't be home for about another hour and I've been sitting here for the past 3! What do I do with myself, I NEVER have alone time!

Pissed...

So at about 1:00 today the Boyfriend informed me that he was going to a friends house until I got home at 3:00. He said he'd be home to help me clean the house since our realtor is coming over tomorrow to take pictures of our house for the Internet, well, it's 6:36 and he's still not home! I don't want to sell our house if I'm going to be doing everything alone all the time!

My Memorial Day

My Memorial Day included my kiddos, my father, my brother and sister, and my Grandparents. We ate dinner together and enjoyed the wonderful weather outside! The girls played in their sandbox all day and us grown-ups sat around the grill and talked. My father fixed my car and filled up my tires, and my brother actually joined us for once in a long time! All I could've wished for was my Mother and The Boyfriend to be there with us, but that WON'T ever happen in my lifetime, what a shame!

My Mother and Grandmother have had a feud going on for about 5 years now, I believe. The thing is, is that neither of them believe they are in the wrong. The reason behind this is because they are so much alike, they both are very hard-headed independent women and that clashes between them. There are always two-sides of a story and it always takes two people to start a fight, they are both wrong in certain aspects and both are also right in other terms. I just wish that things would blow over even though I know it won't. I would love to be able to get a photograph of my Granny, my Grandmother, my Mom, Me, and my girls together for a Generation picture, I guess I should give up on that wish...

Anyways, I did end up going out the other night with Ashley, and we had a really good time! I probably drank too much, but that was the whole point of my night! I did have a freaking scary monster dude, tell Ashley that he thought I was "damn sexy" I sware he was Bigfoot in disguise! :) Ahhh! Oh, I also got a rose from a totally different guy! Guess I'm a hot mom!

Yea!

My Favorite, David Cook Won American Idol Tonight!!! He can sing and he's HOT! Yea!!


Oh, I TRIED to call my mother tonight and her drunk ass ignored me!! :)

Acting Like a 22 Year Old!?!?!

So Friday night my dad and little sister Logan came up for the weekend. That day the girls at work asked if the boyfriend and I wanted to go out and have some drinks when my dad got into town to watch the girls. I agreed to go because I never get to go out and have time to myself like that! Well, I had a GREAT time! I also learned that my drink of choice is now Cranberry Vodka or a Jolly Rancher, and my shot of choice is a Jager Bomb or a Cherry Bomb! Even though I HATE Red Bull! Sometimes I forget how it feels to be 22 years old! I feel like I should be in my thirties already! We were at home and in bed by 12:30 am but it was still a really great time! We even managed to go to the bar and NOT run into the crazy bitch! How that happened, I couldn't tell you, we ran into her "best" friends but not her! Thank goodness! I'm planning on going back home to Junction this weekend and hanging out with my best friend Ashley, here's to acting my age again for one night!

A REAL Mother

Real Mothers don't eat quiche; they don't have time to make it.
Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils are probably in the sandbox.
Real Mothers often have sticky floors, filthy ovens and happy kids.
Real Mothers know that dried play dough doesn't come out of shag carpets.
Real Mothers don't want to know what the vacuum just sucked up.
Real Mothers sometimes ask 'Why me?' and get their answer when a little voice says, 'Because I love you best.'
Real Mothers know that a child ' s growth is not measured by height or years or grade...It is marked by the progression of Mama to Mom to Mother...


The Images of Mother

4 YEARS OF AGE - My Mommy can do anything!

8 YEARS OF AGE - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!

12 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.

14 YEARS OF AGE - Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either.

16 YEARS OF AGE - Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.

18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out of date!

25 YEARS OF AGE - Well, she might know a little bit about it.

35 YEARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.

45 YEARS OF AGE - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?

65 YEARS OF AGE - Wish I could talk it over with Mom.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where
Love resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is
The caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

These are my girls, they are without a doubt the most important things in my life. I know that Sunday is officially Mother's Day but these two little people make me feel special every day! It's amazing how you can love someone so much. I thought I knew what "true love" was, but truthfully, I had no idea until I became a mother!

Maybe one day we'll have a little boy join the family? You think? We'd probably end up having another girl though! :)

So Long...

WOW! I haven't had a chance to sit down and do anything here lately. We've been trying to get things organized to place our house on the market this summer, but the problem is, it just won't stop snowing! On MAY 1st, we got another foot of snow! Its crazy, I know, but hey, I do live 15 minutes from Wyoming! :)

Anyways, Kaci is now 9 months old! She's crawling and trying to pull up on the couches to stand. I can't believe she's going to be one in 3 months already! Katee is going to preschool now and she really enjoys it. Time goes so fast!

The boyfriend and I are also doing great these days still. We haven't had any problems with the crazy bitch and everything is perfect! A year ago today I left him...I was 7 months pregnant with our second child, and everything was miserable. I didn't know anybody in this town, I stayed home 24/7 and the boyfriend was sneaking and lying to me and hanging out with the crazy bitch every chance he got. But before I make him sound like an asshole, he's really grown up since then, he's actually a great person. He was just confused, we have been together since he was 17 years old, had our first child when he was 19, and then, he was 21 and getting ready to have another child, buying our first house and taking care of everything on his own. I think he just wanted to be a child for a while. Its still no excuse, because women have to grow up and mature a hell of a lot faster then they do, the day we find out we're pregnant our lives have to completely change at that moment. Sometimes I wish I could be a normal 22 year old, I wish I would've went to college, played softball for another 4 years, became a teacher, etc... but I wouldn't give my girls up for any of it. Their father realized how much of an idiot he was being the day I had Miss Kaci Lynn. Seeing his girls together made him see how much he needed his family, and ever since then, he's back to his normal self. We are extremely young and have already gone through so much for our ages but I think if we work hard enough, we will make it. I love him, our girls, and our life. I definitely don't take things for granted anymore.

Well, its actually suppose to be nice today and all our snow melted yesterday, maybe I'll take the girls for a walk to the park and have a picnic, it is Sunday and daddy's working, we'll have a girls day out! I'll try to keep up with this more, but I have a lot going on in my life just keep checking in!

Being a Mommy

Being a Mother...Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you've had a baby. Somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, "Normal," is history.

Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct...Somebody never took a three-year-old shopping.

Somebody said being a mother is boring ...Somebody never rode in a car driven by a teenager with a driver's permit.

Somebody said if you're a "good" mother, your child will "turn out good." Somebody thinks a child comes with directions and a guarantee.

Somebody said "good" mothers never raise their voices....Somebody never came out the back door just in time to see her child hit a golf ball through the neighbor's kitchen window.

Somebody said you don't need an education to be a mother. Somebody never helped a fourth grader with her math.

Somebody said you can't love the fifth child as much as you love the first. Somebody doesn't have five children.

Somebody said a mother can find all the answers to her child-rearing questions in the books. Somebody never had a child stuff beans up his nose or in his ears.

Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery...Somebody never watched her "baby" get on the bus for the first day of kindergarten...or on a plane headed for military "boot camp."

Somebody said a mother can do her job with her eyes closed and one hand tied behind her back. Somebody never organized four giggling Brownies to sell cookies.

Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her child gets married....Somebody doesn't know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to a mother's heartstrings.

Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last child leaves home....Somebody never had grandchildren.

Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't need to tell her. Somebody isn't a mother.

The People I Love The Most

Katee: You changed my life in so many ways, you were the first person to show me what true love is. You amaze me in so many ways everyday. You are too smart for your own good and I hope that quality stays with you for the rest of your life. Watch your mouth growing up though, it will get you in trouble!

Kaci: I believe that you saved mine and your fathers relationship. Things were so bad between us until you were born. You brought your family back together and I will never forget that. You are such a happy little girl and you trust everyone, you are my baby and you always will be.

Scotty: You gave me the two most important things in my life. You have made me a mother, and a "wife." I know nobody thought we'd ever make it but you are my hero and I love you so much. You spoil me and you show me everyday how much you love me. Thank you for always being there.

Mom: You are my mother when I need it and you are my best friend when I need one of those. I can tell you everything about anything, and I never feel embarrassed about any of it. You were there for me when I needed you the most, and you mean everything to me. I know we have some differences but I'm still your daughter, its going to happen!

Dad: I've always been 'daddy's little girl.' If it wasn't for him I wouldn't love the game of Softball. I believe that my softball was what kept my head on my shoulders and made me who I am today. I blame him for raising a smart, strong, daughter who always put her school and sports before anything else.

Mimi: We've always been really close. You are great with my girls and great with me. You might not know everything about me, but for what you do know, you never judge me.

Poppa: You are the most independent, strong hearted, forgiving person I know. You don't judge and you stay out of everyone ese's shit. I really admire that about you.

Katy: When I was down at my lowest you were always there for me. You did everything in your will power to help me with your grandson. You are an amazing person.

Logan: You are such a pain in the ass, but you are like my twin. That's all I can say, I do love you, but you are just so fun to pick on! :)

Zach: Just a year ago you didn't care about anything or anyone, now you are showing everyone that you do care. I'm very proud of what you are accomplishing. I told you you could do it.

Taren: I know we aren't that close anymore, but I still think we were separated at birth!

Ashley: You are an awesome mom to two very beautiful little boys. You are so strong and I don't think you will ever be weak.

Erin: You are the reason I'm starting to like Craig. You are a drama free person who just likes to have a good time! I always enjoy myself when we are together. You are one of the best people I have ever met...oh, and your husbands okay to! ;)

Timberly: I don't even know where to start with you. You are the strongest person to ever live. You have overcome cancer, twice, and you live life to the fullest. Your beautiful and I love you so, so much!

Last, but not least, Ally: You were there for me when I was pregnant with Katee. That was the scariest most exciting time of my life. Thank you for everything you've done!







On another note, I took my car to the shop, surprise, nothings wrong! Yay! I think we got into some bad gas, because after I refilled my light turned off and it stopped running rough. My dad, brother and sister came to visit this weekend, we rented movies and went bowling. The boyfriend and I also bought a 2008 Polaris Ranger. I guess that should be fun!?!?! Sorry, I don't write that often but being a mommy to a three year old and a 7 month old, is very time consuming. Kaci turned 7 months yesterday, crazy how time flies!

My Boring Life

Its been almost a week since Ive wrote last and I still don't have anything exciting going on in my life. Next month I have to go to Meeker for a week for stupid Bankers Training, I don't know what I'm going to do for a week without the boyfriends and without the girls! Maybe I'll go to the Rec Center and run on the treadmill every night after class, humm.

I have some bad news too, I have to take my car to the shop already next week. My check engine light is on and its running really rough when I'm stopped at a red light or a stop sign. I really hope that my new vehicle doesn't turn out to be a bigger headache then my little car was.

I hate that my mom is gone! I haven't talked to her in a couple days and that's a long span for us! We usually talk everyday, two-three times a day. So I can't wait for her to come home. I think if shes not to busy the girls and I will go visit her this weekend, plus I need to get my Girl Scout Cookies from my sister!

Sorry my life's just not that exciting at the moment! I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Back To Work

I have to go back to work today, I also have to see if I can change my hours, again, to work with my daycare. My oldest is having trouble getting along with another little girl. The other little girl starts the fights and etc. everytime, thats why I'm confused why I have to change not the other mother. I'm so stressed out because I can't afford to cut my hours, I have a new car payment and insurance payment I have to take care of. I guess I'm going to have to start looking for another babysitter...

Well, the boyfriend did make it home. It took them longer to track the Mountain Lion than they thought. The snow was to deep too make good time.

Yesterday the boyfriend and I decided that in April we are going to go to Mesquite or Vegas for a few days without the girls. We invited a couple to go with us, so hopefully they can make it. I was teasing him the other night saying if we end up in Vegas we should go get married! He really didn't say anything, but it was funny anyways! It'll happen one of these days! No rush!

So Frustrating....

So last night, at 10:00, the boyfriend decided to go hunting with a friend of his. He said he wouldn't be out to late and he'd keep in touch throughout the night. Well, I heard from him at about 5:00 saying he just shot a Mountain Lion, and he was going to go get the hunting dogs and then come home. Well, its now 10:40 am and I haven't heard a word! The other guys wife hasn't heard anything either. I really hope they didn't go and get themselves hurt, stuck, whatever. I think if I haven't heard from them in about an hour I might just have to go looking for them. Ahhh, I'm so pissed!

So yesterday was Valentines Day, I never get anything on this day. The boyfriend says there shouldn't be one day a year that you buy flowers, say I love you , go to dinner, etc. He has a good point, but hey, what the hell, right!?! Anyways, the last and only time I have recieved something on Valentines Day was in 2004. The boyfriend sent me a dozen long stemed roses to school. It was sweet. Plus, it was fun carrying them around from class to class for his crazy ex-girlfriend to see!

Yesterday morning, when he came home from work, he walked in with a dozen red roses, a pink teddy bear (for Kaci) and a red teddy bear (for Katee). It caught me compltely off quard, I wasn't expecting it at all. It made my day. Flowers are great every once in a while!

I hope everyone had a good Valentines Day. Mom, I know yours sucked but at least you know he loves you and you got to have Logan there instead of being all alone.

I guess I need to get up and get ready to go to work, I hate Fridays, but then again, I love them. We are always so busy but my five hours seems to go so fast! I hope everyone has a good friday and a great weekend!

Kaci and Her Shots

The girls had a doctors appointment on Monday. Crap! Kaci doesn't do well with her shots, and of course she had to get three. She still has a fever two days later. It was kind-of funny to see that Katee, who is three, weighs 26 pounds, and Kaci, who is 6 months old, weighed 16 pounds! Katee is a VERY small three year old. Everyone who sees her thinks shes two. The main reason she is so small is because I tried to breast feed her for 6 weeks. I THOUGHT I had milk and thought she was doing fine. That was until she was losing weight and got down to almost 4 pounds after she was born. She weighted 7lbs 13ozs at birth. Ever since then shes always been a little petite girl. As long as shes healthy I don't care what she weighs!

Sorry this is short and swwet and I haven't wrote in a while, I've just been busy and nothing interesting has been going on in my life. The crazy bitch hasn't bothered us in a while which is amazing, and everything in my lifes perfect right now! Everyone have a wonderful Valentines Day!

This Weekend

I can't wait until this weekend! Grand Junction, here I come! Yay! I miss my friends, I miss my family, I just miss home. I'm leaving the 4 feet of snow, the -20 degree weather, and all the stress. I'm going on Saturday and coming home on Monday, but it's still enough time to enjoy myself and let go for a little bit. I'm going to go out Saturday night with some girlfriends, which is much needed, and I'm taking the girls to a doctors appointment on Monday. Hopefully it doesn't snow and ruin all my plans!

It snowed ALL DAY long, AGAIN! I sware, it snows everyday in this town during the winter. I used to love the snow, but then I moved here! I miss the occasional 2-3 inches that Junction gets! I can't wait until summer comes.

Well, heres an update on the crazy bitch...she's starting to "flirt" with another guy at work. Good news? Not really, the thing is, I work with that guys girlfriend! She didn't have anything to do with this guy until she met my co-worker, then 'tada' she all of a sudden 'likes' this guy. I mean come-on, can't you find a SINGLE guy to stalk? I want her to leave us alone more than anything but I don't want her to ruin a friend of mines relationship either. What to do?

My New Car

I finally got my car! Yay! I got a 2004 Chevy Tahoe! I love it! I haven't had a chance to take pictures yet but as soon as I do I'll make sure I post them! I got my loan from my bank and my intrest rate is 8.30%, but hey, I'll take it! The best you can get these days is 6.75%.

I'm sitting at home watching the Super Bowl, I only like the commercials though. My favorite one so far was the Gatorade commerical with Derek Jeter!

Sorry this blog is lame, I just don't have much going on. Everyone have a good night!

Getting Stuck

As I was leaving my house yesterday to go to work, my little piece of shit car got stuck in my driveway, yes, my driveway! I was suppose to be at work in 15 minutes and my car would not move. I called work and one of the girls that I work with had her husband come to my house to see if he could help me. Well, no such luck. We dug my car out for an hour and it still wouldn't move! I called the boyfrend and he called a guy that he works with to see if he could help, well, he brought a tow rope, but we didn't have a truck! Finally, my neighbor came home and she ended up pulling me out with her little Toyota Tacoma! An hour and a half later, I finally signed in at work! I need a new car fast! It was horrible! So now my car is parked in the road and I have to hike up my horrible driveway with the girls everyday! Sucky!

I feel like shit and I have to go to work, it's the end of the month and we have so much stupid shit to do! Hopefully my mood gets better at some point today.

Car Shopping

Who would've thought that car shopping would be such a freaking headache?!?! We keep finding things we like with a decent price, we get approved, but our payments are too much! I've found a Jeep Grand Cherokee that I absolutely loved and I then we found a Chevy Tahoe, that was beautiful, but I'm not paying $500.00 a month for a $13,000 vehicle. The boyfriends truck is a $22,000 vehicle and our payments are only $410.00 a month. Our problem is that I have ZERO credit...that's screwing us with an interest rate, even though his credit score is 720 (which is great for a 23 year old man!) Oh well, I'm going to go talk to my bank today and see what they can do. Hopefully they can give me a good deal! At least they know they'll get paid! My little 1999 Mercury Tracer just isn't working. We had an actually blizzard the other night, schools were closed, businesses were closed, the roads were closed, etc... and my car got stuck in my culdasac and I had to carry my girls up my road and up my driveway in the freezing cold snow! It was miserable! I don't want to go through that again! I guess just wish me luck!

Swimming

Yesterday was a really fun day! We went swimming in Meeker at the Parks and Recreation center. They have an indoor whirlpool, kids area, slide, diving board and hot tub. We took the girls and we went with some friends of ours and their little boy. Katee was scared of the water at first but then she got used to it. When she was in the other areas of the pool besides the kiddie area she was attached at mine or her daddies neck for dear life! She had a good time though. She cried when it was time to leave! Kaci did good to, she was in the water for about an hour and she seemed to like it! It's just weird because I don't really like to swim, but I had a really good time. We'll definitely go again.

The boyfriends at his yearly training classes today in Meeker, and then he's going coyote and bobcat hunting afterwards, and I have to go back to work! It'll be nice though, because on Friday I was over on my drawer by $100.00 but on Saturday the guy I shorted came in and now I'm balanced again! I reccommend everyone recounting their cash after they go to the bank. You'd be suprised how much we actually mess up! Shhh, you didn't hear that from me! :) Oh, I watched "The Game Plan" this weekend while I was alone, and it's a really cute kid movie, watch it!

Have a good day everyone!

My Only Day Off

So since my family was off having fun in Junction without me, I decided to go to work yesterday. It was only from 9-12 and it was drive thru only, so it wasn't bad at all. The boyfriend and the girls got home last night at about 6:30 and the boyfriend had to leave at 7:00 for a poker party with some guys from work. It's 8:22 am and he's still not home! He stayed over there because he drank a few too many beers! I think I'm going to make him take me to lunch or dinner tonight. I feel like I haven't seen him for days!

I'm in the process of looking for a new car. My little 1999 Mercury Tracer just isn't big enough for the four of us and it doesn't have enough muscle for all the snow, cold and ice. I found a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee in Junction but like a typical sales person he tried to screw us. I refuse to pay 18% interest when we are capable of being financed for 8%. My boyfriends mother works at a mortgage office and she could give us another house loan for 8%, so why can't we finance 16,000 dollars but we could finance 150,000? That makes absolutely no since to me! Oh, well I'm going to keep looking!

All Alone...

Wow! The boyfriend and both of my girls just left to go to Grand Junction. They will be staying all night and coming home tomorrow. I had to stay behind because I have to work today and tomorrow. The reason they are going is because our truck is having issues and nobody can fix it here for another 2 weeks, they can get him in today in Junction. What am I going to do tonight? Maybe sleep ALL NIGHT LONG for the first time in almost 6 months!?!?!

I thought it was funny when the boyfriend called the automotive shop today in Junction. The mechanic told him he had people canceling because there was a whole 1 inch of snow and nobody wanted to leave their houses! Well we have 3 FEET and it's snowing again this morning! I wish WE only had 1 inch! I'm sick of winter, the cold, and the miserable snow, and it's only January! I can't wait for the 90 degree weather, the lake, the pool, baseball season (so I can watch my beloved Derek Jeter!) etc... I want to plant flowers, mow my yard, watch it rain, I just want winter to be over. I'm sick of the -20 degree nights and the 9 degree days!

Tonight will be interesting, but I guarantee I'll be awake at 12, 3, and 6, like I normally am with the baby! I think I'll take a long hot bath, read my book and eat Taco Bell!

Today is the boyfriends birthday! He is 23 years old. It amazes me to think that the first birthday I spent with him, he was turning 18 years old. When we first started dating nobody approved and nobody thought it would last. My mother was even weary of us dating, she knew him for about two years before we dated and she knew how he used to be (a player). I admit, I was scared at first to, but I had hope. I saw a completely different side of him the night we started dating. We were all at a friends house hanging out and he was talking to my "best friend" at the time. He told her, "I have never felt like this before about a girl, especially a girl I haven't even kissed before. She's my best friend and I think I'm in love her." That was October 11 2002. Too bad we both have to work today, but hey, that's life. I'll come home and make him his favorite food, steak and potatoes!

Back to Work and Social Services...

Yesterday the bank was closed due to Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I had to take Thursday and Friday off because the girls were both really sick, and today I have to go back. I'm already in the worst mood because at 9:00 this morning I get a knock on my front door. It's Social Services. I was informed on Friday that they were calling my babysitter asking about my kids, and now they are on my door-step. "Someone" called them and said that the boyfriend and I were involved in drugs and that he beat me in front of my children. The only person I can think of that would do this to us would be the crazy bitch. She has been threatening me for months saying she would do anything she could to take me away from the boyfriend and my kiddos. The lady looked me and my girls over for bruises and made me take an at home drug test. I was more than happy to take the drug test considering I've never even smoked pot in my life, of course I was clean. The boyfriend just had a random one two days ago at work, and yes, he was clean also. There were no bruises, scratches, nothing. The lady said goodbye and said there wouldn't be any need to further investigate. I can't believe that she has gone to this level to try to be with the boyfriend, does she honestly think he'd want to be with her after everything she has done? Yes, she does. I'm not saying this because I don't like her but, something is HONESTLY wrong with her head. She thinks she's right about everything and everybody and swares she'll be with the boyfriend and become my girls step-mother. Fat chance. The good thing is it's Monday and the banks usually busy, so It'll take my mind off of things for a few hours. I think I need to go have a drink tonight!

All About Me...

I'm a 22 year old mother of two. I am "common-law" married to my high school sweetheart. We've been together for 6 years now and have lived together for 5. My children consist of two little girls, Katee, who is three, and very hard headed; and Kaci, who is 5 months old and extremely spoiled!

The boyfriend and I have had some really rough times in the past and as a result of those hard times we are closer and happier than ever, and we have also gained a "crazy bitch" who is trying to do everything in her power to break us up and take my children. This is a girl who has had everything given to her her entire life and has always gotten what she wanted. She still thinks she can live this way. I'm telling you about her because she's all the excitement that really goes on in this podunk town, so you'll probably be hearing about her quite often. I've had to call the police department on her three times now for stalking and still nothing has happened to her. Oh well, it'll happen one day.

So you can get an idea on how boring and small this town is, 90% of the residents drive the extra 20 miles to Baggs, Wyoming (Probably not even on a map) on Sundays so they can go to the bar and buy beer! We have a family of four deer who live in my front yard and eat my pine tree and will even eat out of the palm of your hand. This town has a population of 1500 deer that live IN the city limits, and we also have a large population of bobcats, mountain lions and coyotes. Its not everyday you open your backdoor and find an adult male coyote terrorizing your dogs! I think the deer population is larger than our resident population. We have a McDonalds, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, and a Village Inn, if you want something more you have to drive 45 minutes to Steamboat (where everything's too expensive) or drive the 3 hours to Grand Junction. Oh, but we do have 5 Liquor Stores...priorities!
