There are so many things that I would like to get off my chest today. I, however, am not going to vent about everything that would just be too boring for you. I am looking forward to a New Year in hopes that maybe it will bring me some better luck. Then I think to myself that I wish for that every year. Obviously it hasn't got me too far. Then again, my luck could be worse.
I have decide to list the bad things that have happened to me in 2008 and then then good just to see which one wins!
The bad and the ugly....Spent all my income tax on a new van and a TV, lost my blazer, wrecked new van when I hit a deer, had to drive a PT Cruiser for a loaner (this is bad when you have 4 kids!), stop receiving child support, my very good friend moved 3 hours away, lost another close friend and family due to a controlling man (hers, not mine), had to deal with my daughter(Mudd) losing 3 of her pets to death (one I ran over myself), having my daughter(Mudd) almost lose her foot, lost child support for a second time and then last but not least wondering how the hell I was going to accomplish Christmas. (amongst all this trying to keep my marriage intact hasn't been easy either)
The good and the better.....Got a nice new van, blazer didn't go on credit report cuz it was listed with BK 2 years earlier (we were paying on something I guess we didn't have to), started to receive a few months of child support, still good friends with he friend that moved away (going to see her Friday), daughter did not lose the use of her foot (missed it by 1/2 centimeter), oldest daughter(Nanners)did good with soccer, both oldies did great at 4H, both doing good in school, Fidget is learning things so fast, I was able to accomplish a Christmas, and the biggie....My Minnie was born.
You know, when you put all out there like that it makes me smile to see all the good things that I have and that things aren't perfect...but hey!..That is just fine for me! We are all here and we are all together. (including the marriage that is still intact). I guess people just take a lot of things for granted and I guess that at times I can be one of those people. But then I come back to reality and realize I wouldn't change anything for the world!!!(ok maybe my own house)!

My first time!
No it is not what you think. This is my first time at blogging. I have been following a few blogs for awhile and thought I would get up the courage to do one for myself. It actually is a little scary. What do I call it? Is it a name that will attract attention? How much attention do I want to attract? People will actually know who I am. I will have a name for myself. I say this because I have been ghost writing for a close friend of mine and I tend to hide behind her. It hasn't been too scary that way.
I however, like to write. I like to write about anything that comes to mind. Which sometimes isn't the greatest thing to write about either. I started a journal when my 2 1/2 yr old was born from her point of view. I would email pages to family and friends in Indiana that wanted updates. It was amazing to see how crazy my family was from a baby's point of view.
I guess now you may want to know at least a little about myself and my family. I have a blended family. I have 2 older daughters from a previous "relationship". Then I have 2 little ones from my marriage now. They are a blessing no matter how you look at it.
My oldest is thirteen. Yeah! Wow! What a fun age. "Nanners" is just full of mood! She can be happy one second and totally mad the next. She is in 8th grade and now has acquired a boyfriend.
"Mudd Princess" is 10. She is called that because she loves to get dirty and play in the mud but don't forget her pretty frilly dress too. She is home schooled. She is actually doing a school through the Internet. She has ADHD and can be a handful at times. She was being transferred around to different teachers alot at school. Anyhow, she is doing fine now.
"Fidget" is 2 and 1/2. This is the name her daddy gave her because he could never get her to be still while he would be changing her. She actually knows her name as that too. She does also know her real name. Until about 3 weeks ago she was as good as gold. I think something happened to her and it just clicked that she wanted to see how far she can get with mommy and daddy. Now we are having problems sleeping at night too. The joys.
Then we have "Minnie". She is 9 months and has acquired that name because she looks just like me in my baby pictures. She is so much fun. She is up and attempting to walk. She does not sleep through the night yet though. She is the only one I have had problems with.
Along with having all these girls I do have a wonderful husband, most of the time. No really. He helps out with the girls whenever is possible and he treats my older two just as though they were his. We have been married almost 4 years and have been together 6 years. To add to my big family I also do daycare in my home too. I watch 2 children 3 days a week. They are 3 and 1 so they play with my little two very good.
This is just a quick preview of my family and me. This way when I am blogging you may be able to understand just who i am talking about. I need to go for now. "Minnie" doesn't want to sleep.
