Wow, has it really been 2 months since I blogged......ugh!
I had a shock on January 7th......was laying on the couch watching TV with the kids and I heard the tornado sirens going off.....muted the TV and sure enough they were. Got the kids into shoes and down to the basement they went while I was at the top of the stairs looking out the window. For the first time in my life there was a Winter tornado touch down and man was it messy. It was actually the first Winter one in the state of Illinois since 1957! It was classified as an F2 and destroyed and I do mean destroyed 5 homes and the Edwards Apple Orchard.....damaged 11-14 more. Thankfully no one was killed but 4 people were seriously injured and 1 was critical but pulled through. The community rallied around and help was quickly offered and received! Local farmers showed up at the damaged dairy farm with supplies and generators and as it was milking time managed to get all the cows milked before dark and before their udders froze! This community I am a part of has some truly awesome people in it. I am thankful no one died and that it veered off when it did and went rural instead of through our town.
My kids are doing good. Getting bigger everyday! Robbie got his report card and is doing much better! Brian is still struggling and he is so hyper in class that he just cannot sit still. I hate to but we may need to do something about that. Courtney is doing well....you would never know she had surgery a few months back. All that is left is a scar that is already fading.
Social Security denied me for the second time. I decided I am not pursuing this alone anymore and so I see an Attorney this coming Wed...I hope he will take my case....if he doesn't I may give up because it is so depressing. But darn it I can't give up....Rob is getting laid off from Chrysler on or about Feb 22nd and as far as we know it may be permanent. He is laid off right now and has been all last week. He goes back to work this Tuesday though.
Well, not much else going right ow that's of interest...hope you all are doing well!

Waiting
Yup, that is what we are doing......waiting for the bomb to drop. Chrysler announced that they are shutting the 3rd shift down. All of the temps including the 2 year temps are getting laid off, plus some of the full timers!!! 1000 people total!! That means Rob is getting laid off....we still do not know when. Rumors are flying abound.....some say week before X-mas so they do not have to pay the people losing their jobs the holiday pay they so deserve. Some people say by the end of Feb.....the rumors really piss me off. I wish they would just let people know now and I really really really hope it is not until after X-mas. It was 2 weeks ago they did a 2 week lay off and they only gave 3 days notice.....nice huh? We lost $1,400 bucks on that deal. The only thing that is going to bail us out of the hole is the contract signing bonus they will have to give...Rob gets it to! $3,000 so after taxes and unions share we will end up with maybe $1,900. Thank the lord for this money.
Kids are good.....Boys are both doing pretty good in school although Robbie is being stubborn and Brian is being just plain old naughty. I even got a call from the principal about Brian....he has been talked to by Rob and I so he has been warned.....next naughty episode he loses computer time for a week. Hopefully that will keep him from being naughty!
Courtney has recovered from her hernia surgery really well...she is almost all healed up! She is still trying to play the "I can't pick up those toys because I have an owwie" lol lil stinker! She has a scar but it is fading.
Pretty much the same old stuff going on with me....I am having muscle spasms and nerve pain in new places....oh joy....I can't get in to see my neurologist until Nov 21st....hoping she can do something for the pain and spasms. My Social Security appeal is being worked on, only reason I know that is because they called me.....while Courtney was in surgery no less. I had to tell the lady I could not provide dates and addresses for her at the moment because my daughter was in surgery. It was really nice she seemed concerned for my lil girl and was happy to wait until I could call her back.....which I promptly did the next morning. She even asked how Courtney was doing! I am really hoping I have a kind and considerate adjudicator this time and will not get denied again....praying really hard that it passes. I cannot afford to wait a year for a hearing :-(
We really need this income so make life a little easier around here....the pay check to pay check living is tough.
I am going to be an aunt again!!! Woot, I was totally shocked at first but am cool with it now. My sister was freaked out big time, she was so not expecting this as she is a single mom. She will be fine, we all love her and support her in her decisions. I think I will be babysitting the baby 3 days a week when Trisha goes back to work....how cool is that!? I can spoil the baby rotten and send it home at the end of the day! A baby to snuggle again!!!!!!!! I am soooo excited! She is 11 weeks along so far so good!
My in-laws just called and had to cancel their trip up to see the kids :-( My mother-in-law is having gall bladder surgery on the 19th. She has been in a lot of pain and unable to eat well for a few months now and it is just getting worse. She either had to take that date or wait until January for a scheduled date. I hope all goes well for her, the kids were disappointed but understand as much as they can at their age.
The kittens are getting huge....not really kittens anymore as they are 7 months old. They are so rowdy and funny as heck to watch. We are so glad we kept 2. Blackie is getting really big and filled out. Purrey is tall and lean. My older cat Meekah has come to accept them much better....I have even see her play with them a little!
Hmmm I think that is all for now! Hope everyone is well!

Life's a peach
It has been a long time since I wrote anything and yet so much has happened and continues to happen my head spins..............crazily!
So July 28th in the late afternoon I took 3 of the 5 kittens to the animal shelter..........they assured me over and over they do not "kill" there. I was also told many many times that they do a 72 hour hold on them before they put them up for adoption. So on Monday July 30th I called to check on them and see how they were handling the change only to find out that on Sunday morning..........less than 24 hours after I dropped them off they "put them down because they were very ill with upper respiratory illness" Total bunch of lies and I was soooooooooooooo angry and hurt. I trusted what they told me and they lied. I tried to call back and get a supervisor and of course they were closed. So I had to cry and be upset all night about this and pray it was a mistake. Called Tuesday morning and got the kennel supervisor and she confirmed the worse. She had personally done it. I chewed her a new ass and I mean screamed at her. How dare they do that! The 2 I kept at home are fine and so were the other 3. She said no one had noted that these kittens were fostered and that they had been simply listed as strays..............I TOLD them when I dropped em off that I had fostered them for 8 or 9 weeks! I will be looking into options on what to do about this and file a formal complaint. I feel so guilty, my kids ask how they are and I cannot tell them the truth! Horrible horrible horrible place!
Hubby still loving his job, he is getting tired of the OT but we really need the money since we still have 1 income.....more on that later. Bad news is the Union took a strike vote and it passed 97%. It is contract time and they are pushing hard.....apparently not much is known it is hush hush other than 3 letters informing the staff a strike was imminent, that happens and we go bankrupt.What more could happen............oh here's more.
I got denied for Social Security Disability and now have to start an appeal process...if I get denied again I have to wait a YEAR.......yes a stinking rotten YEAR for a hearing. Yeah yeah I know I get back pay but how does that help me now?? How do people survive? Yet people with mental illness or drug/alcohol addiction usually get approved first time! How is that right? I know and agree on the mental illness part but alcohol/drug addiction?? That's a self inflicted illness.................mine is not! I have no choice in the matter and really wish I did because I would most definitely NOT have this disease if I had a choice. Seems unfair to me :-(
Kids are doing well, still a handful but doing well. Staying healthy to! Boys went back to school on August 23rd. Brian is repeating Kindergarten with Mrs.Wisely whom is an awesome teacher. I debated long and hard on this but it is what is best for Brian since he was a "young" 5 when he started school...Bday is in March. Robbie is in 3rd grade and has a very cool teacher!! He already likes school....last year was a nightmare for him since his teacher was really aloof and unfriendly. Feels good not to have my son going to school crying everyday like he did last year. not one meltdown so far! whoo hooo! We are getting geared up to celebrate Robbie's 9th birthday Sept 24th.....wow I have a 9 year old!
Me.............so much going on yet hard to explain. Pain.....it is a daily hassle for me and I have a primary doc that either A) doesn't understand my disease or B) does not care. I am thinking it is both so I will be looking for a new doc ASAP. He refused to fill out papers for Social Security to....what a jerk. I won't get into detail about me right now.....just way to much going on to get into. I'll save that for another time.
Hope all my friends and family are well!

Crazy
Yup....in a nut shell I am going crazy 5- 8 week old kittens and 3 kids.....a lot of work and it is making me crazy! The kittens climb everything!!! Including my bare legs!! The kids are constantly messing with them even though I am constantly yelling at them to leave the kittens alone. The kittens are being really rough with each other....they are fast approaching destruction of things in my home....we have GOT to find homes.....WTH will I do if I cannot???? I cannot keep 5 kittens! No way no how.....but I really do not want to take them to a shelter or toss them out to be strays....that is NOT the answer :-(
Kids are wound up! I took them to the park yesterday for 2 hours and it helped them burn off some pent up energy! I think we will be going more often than once a week. We are trying to do library days and at least 1 of the 3 argue they do not want to go. I give up and we end up staying home.....sometimes I swear it is easier to give in rather than fight them on it. The kids are really getting on my nerves! They have the non listening syndrome right now and I do not know how to cure it.....it is like once school let out I have 2 sons I do not recognize! I have allowed them to stay up until hubby gets home at 11:15pm.....they have managed to sneak around upstairs and not go to sleep until the wee hours of the morning....that is going to stop I need some down time and it is not good for them!
I am and probably will always be to some degree a night owl.....staying up until 4 am is not unusual for me. Years of working midnights have done that. Hubby has also become a night owl since working second shift...he comes home wound up from the stress of work things right now that he is staying up all night to. lol life has got to even out.
No word yet from Social Security.....could take 3-5 months for word....I really hope it isn't denied and I have to go through the appeal process. I really wish things were different because I would LOVE to go to work part time as an escape from my house and sadly my kids lol. This disease is not easy at times and the added crap of being so overweight does not help matters any. I am officially the heaviest I have ever been....even when pregnant I weighed 50 pounds less than I do right now.....time to get serious and do something about my weight problems. I need to lose 85 pounds at least just to be where I was 10 years ago....I felt better then and trust me I was not skinny....I was still 200 pounds. So, the adventure begins...no diets because what I need is a life style change and some ability to exercise. Difficult for me to do with my medical issues but I am going to start slow and do the best I can....if that does not work then I am going to look into lap band surgery. I CANNOT stay this way or the wheelchair will be sooner than later....I don't want to be in a wheelchair for as long as possible.
So that is it in a nutshell....I feel a little better venting here....guess I should blog more often.

So busy
The boys are out of school for the summer.....June 5th was the last day and it has been total chaos since then! They are fighting over everything and it is driving me nuts! Why? Why do they fight over every little thing? I cannot seem to make them happy with anything I do.
It is going to be a very LONG summer!
Courtney's 4 year physical went fair........she was a little turd at first and did not want to She weighed or even height done. Finally she did! She weighs 36 pounds and is 41 inches tall. 55th percentile for weight and 75th for height. Seems to be right on track with her "skills"
Brian.....well little man missed so much school being sick that I felt and so did the teacher that it was best for him to repeat Kindergarten, after all he has an early birthday and was not really ready in the first place....Robbie turned 6 3 weeks after he started school so he had a whole extra year at home than Brian....Brian himself wants to stay in Mrs.Wisely class so I am letting him even though my hubby does not think he should.
Kittens.................5 pain in the butts! A week ago Saturday ( June 9th) a mother ground hog with 5 babies showed up in our yard....mom groundhog chased mama cat off....I watched ALL day and she did not return....the kittens were coming out of the shed looking for her. That scared me since that groundhog is under the shed....was afraid she would kill them so I sat outside until the kittens settled down. About 10pm Hubby and I went out....still no mama cat...........went back out at midnight and still no mama cat!!! So we brought them in the house and they have been in ever since...I fed them kitten milk replacer all week and starting yesterday stopped that. They are drinking water and eating kitten chow now....They are 6 weeks old today! I am going to start looking for homes for all 5. We are NOT keeping any.......I do not have the time nor patience to deal with kittens. this week of having them showed me that. Plus the kids are just to rough with them and I am not dealing with it. Last night they started climbing my new couch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO WAY not happening. They are now in the cage and all other rooms are blocked off when I let them out....mind you they are out a good deal of the time.
Well, I have an appt for Social Security on Friday this week....finally got all the paperwork completed! What a pain in the butt and it is just beginning. It will take 3-5 months to hear anything and more than likely it will be denied and I will appeal it. Going to be a long haul I am afraid....but when I eventually win they have to back pay from the date I filed!
Rob is still working at Chrysler....it has been a year now! I am really happy that A) he is still working and B) that he still likes it! He has his days just like anyone but he has not "blown" any days off....he missed 2 days sick with a doctors note and has been sent home due to over staff a few times....I am really proud of him! Hopefully they will know something in the near future on the future of temps..we are hoping like hell he gets hired on full time!
As for me....same old stuff just a different day. I fell a few weeks ago and my knees are still hurting. I may need to go in and have my doc check em out to see what I did. The bruises and scratches are gone but they swelling and pain are not. About 2 months ago I got poked in the eye with a stick....never went to the doctor for that either.....STILL having eye pain and if I read or stay on the computer to long get a headache....Guess I need to have a few things checked out. I did finally make an appt with the Gyn.....let's hope I keep it because I really need that crap taken care of to!
3rd week of July Rob will be on vacation....we are actually going to do stuff and NOT go to Kentucky! I am shocked he didn't want to go "home" for that week!
That's all for now....got to go!
It is going to be a very LONG summer!

Wow
This is going to be a really busy next week for us starting on Saturday.....I am trying really hard to limit my car usage since it cost us $79.00 to fill the van on Monday! Gas is 3.49 a gallon! Ouch!!
We have my youngest sisters high school grad party Saturday....free food is good... Well not totally free if ya count the gift I need to get for her, prob just do money since she is working towards getting a lap top for college. :-p
lol my dad is happy to have no kids in school....well high school anyway Addie plans to go to college and I hope she does!
Sunday we have the Chrylser appreciation day.....more free food and drinks to! All the activities re free that day to! The CHIPS people will be there doing fingerprinting, video, and DNA for kids so we will be having all 3 of ours done! I am really excited about this since we have never had it done before. I pray to the good lord above we NEVER need to use it!
Plus they will have all kinds of other stuff to do all day!
Monday is Kindergarten graduation.... I still am not sure if I should hold Brian back...I am thinking WTH why not let him go to 1st grade and just keep working with him over the summer to catch him up?! Hubby wants him to go to 1st, his teacher wants him to repeat K and I am torn! He was 5 when he started so hes an early Bday and we are used to Robbie who turned 6 about 3 weeks after school started. I do not want him to feel left out during the Grad ceremony and party afterwards! More on this later when I figure it out.
Monday is also my Gyn appt.....go figure I am 40 with my tubes tied and because she wants to avoid a Hyst she put me on the pill.........grrrr! My face is breaking out like crazy and I am getting headaches a lot and it started after the pill so Im guessing that is the cause. Much to talk about with doc on Monday!
Tuesday is thwe last day of school for the summer............ay yi yi lord help me the kids are going to make me crazy! I am signing them up for activities at the library and will do all I can to make sure we go....I have to get into a routine to keep them both on task and do "school" type things daily! They FIGHT so much on evenings and weekends having all 3 home all day is going to be just ducky!
Thursday is Courtney's 4 year physical so I will update more on how she is doing then! LONG drive to Crystal Lake that day :-(
Well, kittens are starting to walk around! We are wondering how in the world we will be able to keep track of them once they get older.....we want to tame them and so far that seems to be going well. I hold and pet them at least once a day. They are now 3 weeks old, I'm thinking at 6 weeks we need to bring them in the house and get them ready to go to homes....I hope!
Well, thats about all for now!

My face is breaking out like crazy and I am getting headaches a lot and it started after the pill so Im guessing that is the cause. Much to talk about with doc on Monday!
Tuesday is thwe last day of school for the summer............ay yi yi lord help me the kids are going to make me crazy! I am signing them up for activities at the library and will do all I can to make sure we go....I have to get into a routine to keep them both on task and do "school" type things daily! They FIGHT so much on evenings and weekends having all 3 home all day is going to be just ducky!
Thursday is Courtney's 4 year physical so I will update more on how she is doing then! LONG drive to Crystal Lake that day :-(
Well, kittens are starting to walk around! We are wondering how in the world we will be able to keep track of them once they get older.....we want to tame them and so far that seems to be going well. I hold and pet them at least once a day. They are now 3 weeks old, I'm thinking at 6 weeks we need to bring them in the house and get them ready to go to homes....I hope!
Well, thats about all for now!

9 years
Yup yesterday was 9 years Rob and I have been married! He had been teasing and taunting me for 2 days about it to. I was starting to get really mad at him and finally ended up telling him to bite me over his "gift" I couldn't have. So he sends me a text from work to listen for the door, shortly after I got a flower delivery from PepperCreek!
9 red roses one for each year we have been married.
He hand wrote a card for me and this is what it said. I was really surprised he went to the florist and specially ordered what he wanted and wrote what he did.
9 red roses, Red, the color of passion. We have lived our nine years with passion. Passion in the way we love, passion in the way we fight, passion in the way we play. But at the end of the day, after all the mean and cruel things we have said, our passion to each other remains.
1 white rose. White, the color of new, future untold. Void of color. Ready to have a new chapter made. Our future is open. Free of hate and mistakes of our past. The color of this rose is still to be made. Let's color it red with our love for each other.
3 colorful flowers ( 3 Gerber daisies) 1 for each of our kids. Young, bright, and full of color.
Enjoy the colors of our lives.
WOW I was deeply touched that he thought of all this and it brought me to tears. To bad he was at work when I got them.
Well, mad dash to begin cleaning around here...my inlaws are coming in for the wekend. It will be nice to see them and the kids are really excited to. Hubby actually has a 3 day weekend so he will be able toi enjoy his parents as well. Now let's hope the weather stays nice and we can cook out and they can go fishing to. Storms in the forcast though! grrrrr
