Total blonde coming out
I forgot this layout of Owie, this was when he was still in the NICU I believe he was about 2 wks here and look at my paint Im an addict!
HEY HEY HEY!
Well it is approaching Owen's 4th bday, where has the time gone? He is still such and infant and no I dont mean that in a bad way just his abilities are still delayed. I bought him a little baby cake I hope he will be willing to try a bit of it I mean how unfair would that be not to have any cake??? Anyway, I have a few more layouts to add that I have done recently I like how they turned out for the most part, but I could always use inspiration,ideas,challenges AND sketches! ;-))
The 1st one is of my nephew last summer and his umm "crack problem" the boy cant keep his trunks up for some reason!
The second one is Alex taken a few wks ago too bad her hair wasnt brushed good LOL
Ok soooo I know this isnt a layout, but I had to include it:this is on our way back from Great Wolf Lodge I turned around and saw Ethan's I wasnt sleeping face hehe what a guy!

This is one I did of me in 77 check out the RAD clothes ha! I used Hambly,acrylic paint, ribbon,rubons pp scraps doodlebug stickers brads,bling,HS ds glitter flowers. I really like how it turned out and it is way different from my other usual lo's.yep I know I know I haven't kept the blog updated but soooo much has happened dd moved out then back in and as of tonight her friend is here not sure how long that'll last. Pheww we took O to KC to see a Neuro there and he agreed (thank you Jesus) that O was in pain and prescribed Neurontin for him it has really helped! Ok SOOO because I dont have much to write or many who are interested in our lives LOL I am going to change this to a scrappy blog~that way I can post my lo's and they will all be in one nice neat place hehe. ANYWAY.....I tried out for this Creative team last week (gosh I Hope it's only been a wk or I will feel D U M B dumb!) Ok sooo here are the deets hope ya visit the blog. have a few layouts I have done recently, some I like some I dont, go figure guess we cant like all of the lo's we do right? There is a new scrapbook store opening in Oklahoma called:CROPPINSVILLE I think its about 3 hours from me soooo maybe one of these days I will load the kids up in the truck and head over there! The store isnt open yet but the lady Allie that owns it is soooo super sweet I have chatted with her a couple times thru email! I cant wait til they open. Here is a link for their blog: http://croppinsville.blogspot.com/ so check it out I think it is going to be a rawkin shop!! Here are a few new "ish" lo's I have done.

I have said it before....
guess it is really true this time, I AM not a great mother I feel like I have tried but I just cant take the crap anymore. Alex moved out I dont know for how long it will be she is living with a friend as of yesterday. I cant take the lies,stealing,she has in the past used drugs and taken more meds than she is supposed to she doesnt do her school work etc. She is really confused right now i think and Im not sure what to do to help her so she is on her own. She stole money from me and somethings that are really no big deal, but they are MINE why cant she understand that? I must admit although I love her, I no longer have a headache and I dont feel stressed. I know I know people are saying why would you let a 15 yr old do what she wants? And I can understand that, but it not only affects me but rich and the boys. I dont know when and if she will be back we will see I guess I almost dont want her here right now ya I know that sounds bad. I have tried to get her into the childrens home, girls home etc but they wont take her well that is not entirely true, the girls home would but I cant afford to pay them to take her. Now to let her bio father know that she no longer lives here wont that be fun!
We will be going to KC for an appt for Owen on the 4th of April we are taking him and O and mil to great wolf lodge I hope they have fun we all have been thru the ringer lately, I have been consumed with alex and her issues I dont feel I have given the boys my all. I hope its fun we will be there for 2 nights cant wait! Im not good at praying and I do try but if you would pls say a little prayer for our family and my sanity I would appreciate it!

So much going on!
The kids have all been sick well alex just once but the boys have been on and off for a few wks....now there is strep and lice going around at school. We are good so far knock on wood!
We didnt make it to the KC trip but are trying to reschedule and now the dr wants us to also see a Neuro there as well, Im hoping we can get the trips within the same time frame so we only have to go once. It is so hard having to go elsewhere even tho it is only a couple hrs Owen wont enjoy being in the van that long. When he is done he is D O N E done!
I got a call from assistive technologies yesterday morning and they said they had a gait trainer for Owen WOOHOO they are extremely hard to come by so I was very blessed to have already gotten one for him I hope when he gets used to it he will try and walk. It is difficult sometimes for me to realize he may never walk, I am OK with it but I just want one or two steps I dont mind if Owen needs a walker I would really love to see him take a step one day.
Alex, to make it short and sweet she is having a little bit of issues with her ex friend nothing like the racial comments but when is it going to end? Now she is going to mug her supposedly. Alex is being such a pain, I found out 2 wks ago she is failing WHY? Well she chooses not to turn in her work and suit up for P.E. I am at the point of this:she is 15,in high school if she does or doesnt that is up to her I cant make her do things I have tried I guess now is the time for her to make it or break it. Ethan is doing fairly well, he is a very smart kid and has learned alot this yr. They want him to go to a transitional 1st grade class,because he is having some trouble with some things...it is TOTALLY my fault as when Owen was born we got busy caring for him and didnt work with cutting letters numbers etc. Ethan really has come a long way since starting kdg. He can do great he is just still fairly immature...special thanks to dad on that one!
I am getting bday supplies together ethan wants a pirate party I think we are going to ask the kids to dress as pirates! Ethan told me the other day, I want to invite my cousin and he is invited to get me a present. WHAT A SILLY BOY! He def. has my sense of humor! I guess I better get the kids ready for school.

More lo's, KC trip etc
I did 3 count em 3 lo's last night I hope the mojo is back :-)) I dont know I have 3 still unfinished that Im not sure what to do with I really need to use more sketches I guess! The 1st one is Yolanda Williams from Simple Scrapbook Mag I totally lifted I love her style! The second is my lift of her lo. 3rd one is a lo depicting how I feel some days....like running away course I never would but stress and depression stink! Lastly I have had this picture since summer and finally got around to scrapping it. Ethan my guy one of my nephews and my neice at the fountains.
I got a call from the Developmental ped in Overland Park that I have been trying to get Owen in to see well finally they agreed to see him so our appt is set for Feb. 8th at 10:30 not looking forward to the drive its only about 3hrs but I hate riding maybe i should make Rich have me drive awhile at least until we get closer lol. One good thing tho is that Archiver's is like 2 miles from the office we are going so I told Rich I wanted to stop there WOOHOO never been and he better give me some time looking around! hehe

Move Along!
Hehe that is one of Ethan's fave song's EVER I dont know if it is because of the Baraki's or what but he loves it! I like it too. Things are better today except the damn van now has a freakin' dead battery ugh 3 problems in the last wk
with it I wonder if it is a curse? Ok so maybe no curse but its annoying for sure! Well we have a new family member Rich and I both agreed we wouldnt have another dog accept Oscar but I think he felt bad about making me give up my babies it was incredibly heartbreaking.
INTRODUCING.......CHEWY!!!! he is the CUTEST lil Silky! yeah I know he is boy LOL but couldnt resist putting the bow in his hair he wont care at least thats I tell myself. Rich says: you do know that he is boy right? MEN.
I have been checking this gal's blog out for awhile and have seen her work at scrapbook.com I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE her work I am adding her to my blog so if ya get a chance check her out she is truely amazing!

Thank you
for coming into my driveway and throwing whatever in hell you threw at my window to break it out!
thank you for allowing me to spend 130.00 on a new window that I really can afford at this time.
thank you for causing me to break down over such a trivial thing in front of everyone.
thank you for making an otherwise ok day into another frustrating and upsetting day.
thank you for destrying my property I realize this van may not be very nice to you but it lets me cart my kids around and has enough room for the wheelchair that Owen needs.
thank you for letting me call the police and make a report even tho there is nothing they can do I appreciate wasted time.
thank you for after being upset....to see what little humor there is in this situation IE I didnt have to lock it because it wont do any good.
I certainly hope you whoever you are had a good laugh and dont come back cuz if ya do I will be waiting!

CFC Syndrome
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/boyinthemoon
Wanted to post this link, it is about a fellow CFC family I hope if you have a chance you will look at it...it really shows what life with Owen is like except Walker is older and now sadly is in a residential home. It is very heartbreaking but oh so true!

Move over Rich.....
Cuz I've got a new love! Yeppers that's right my new DYSON VAC!! I haven't done any photo editing but just couldnt resist posting this beauty lol! I dubbed "it" the Purple Dust Eater. Can't say right now it is as purty as it was in this pic but I tell ya I was SOOO looking forward to all the kids going back to school today so I could use it again~Owen hates the vac so I try not to use it when he is home.
We had a power outage here today it went off a total of three times the last time tho it stayed off for about 3 1/2 hrs thankfully tho it wasnt to cold out today and obviously its back lol. Crazy crazy!
Rich and I went out to eat Saturday, everything we wanted to try was packed course it was 60 out so I guess people thought why not go out lol~ does anyone not eat at home anymore? We finally decided to go to panera (love them btw!) not real fancy but nice oh and quiet, we then went over to border's and browsed the book section got a cool new book about photography hope I learn something. He wasnt feeling all that great what with a broken toe and cold sooo we ended up getting home about 9pm and I wanted to stay gone longer lol but I guess it's best that way we cant spend more money! That's the update for now

HMMMM!!!
ok soo I came on here this morning going to post a little bit and to my surpise the words were showing up in hindi!!! Umm ok I guess, I mean I dont speak Hindi (no offense to those who do) but HELLO WHY was my text set that way? I SPEAK ENGLISH THANKS!
Anyway I think it would be kinda neat to learn but....no one at all would read lol! Ok sooo moving on:tonight the DH and I are getting a break from the kids my sis is coming over to stay with them so we can get out for awhile nothing special really just probably to dinner and then the book store...where we can sit...quietly and actually read?! I cant wait just hope the little boys wont give her a tough time although the only one really that can be difficult to deal with is my sweet lil O!
I was looking over my gallery at Scrapjazz like some of my older stuffs etc and OH MY STARS I cant believe I thought any of the lo's were any good its sooo funny to see the old things I did SO my challenge for you today if you choose to accept it is to go thru your old lo's and see how much of a difference there is! You will be AMAZED hehe!
To tired today to think much~lil turd got me up at 6 am! Maybe next post will be better???
Guess that's it for today ***YAWN***

HAPPY NEW YR.
Ok soo its been awhile since I posted guess it doesnt matter I know that probably only one sweet lady reads my blog now and then! That IS better than nothing tho~nice to know someone is thinking of ya thanks Norma! Hope you all are doing well and I miss chatting with ya!
We seem to get little down time and thats OK that is life right now and ya gotta get thru it. We had a good Christmas, the kids all got tons of things, mostly from one of the aircraft co's here in town they pick a rainbows family each yr to get gifts for and we were chosen~how blessed we are!
Alex got clothes and christian books from rainbows good thing too cuz that girlie reads several a day at times must be nice lol! She got a new bible and makeup from the prison ministry, a gift card from us so she bought a cell phone been stuck to her ear since LOL. Rich's mom got her a gift card to Charlotte Russe one of her fave fave stores we have already been shopping. Go figure!
Ethan got toys toys and YEP you guessed it more toys :-)) he also got some clothes and books.
Lil turkey butt AKA Owen got clothes, toys a book and a gc from his para to old navy sooo mama went shopping for him gotta love ON he got 9 pcs of clothing for 55 dollars love the clearance sections!
I got Rich some clothes and a video game pretty boring but ahh well thats what he asked for!
I got the CUTEST lil Canon Pixma Mini Printer used it already its AWESOME!
Ordered myself a Dyson vaccuum cant wait to get it! My mom graciously let me put it on her NFM charge acct so I can pay it off, they are soooo expensive and that would be the only way possible for me to get one at this point!
I was able to get in a little scrappin time still haven't totally found my mojo but I completed 4 pages in the last few days yayyyy me!
I am looking forward to a healthy,happy new yr...trying not to let the depression get me down I know I should switch my meds as I have been on the same ones since 2001 I dont like meds and dont take them unless I have too. Both my older kiddos were med free births and I didnt take pain killers after they or Owen were born sooo as you can see it is a hard thing for me to do. I will leave you with some recent pics of our "big snow storm" we got 7.5 inches and had some pretty good sized drifts, not much to some of you but we dont usually get that much a tonce lol.
