I’m still here and breathing…With the pain, it has been hard for me to come up with my witty words for you ;).
I am set to have gallbladder surgery Monday though, so hopefully this pain will be laid to rest and Jen’s humor will be back in full force.
I have to go in for a test tomorrow called the Hida Scan, but after I get done with that… I want to share some pictures with you of my big girl playing in her first soccer game. She rocked house 🙂
So…she has been in school right at a month. Within two weeks of starting, she wanted a new hair cut. I tried and tried to persuade her to not do it… but she was not taking no for an answer ;). She had her mind set and that is what she wanted to do!
I think she is trying to keep up with the trends of the kindy crowd, as I have seen many little girls with the bob hair cut at her school and soccer team. It’s amazing at 5 years old, they know what they want. Heck when I was 5… I believe I was still playing with dirt HA and could care less about my hair. Oh no… does this mean I might have a diva on my hands 😉

I am going to try and find some cute hair bows as well… as she loves her hair with a hair bow to have ya know a change from day to day ha!
I think she looks soooo cute. It did turn out shorter than we wanted it, but I assured her with plenty of vitamins and water, it would grow back out in no time.
She was so excited to go to school and show her teacher and classmates. I believe they all gave her thumbs up, which she will always have thumbs up in her mommy’s eyes!!!
Growing up, my brother and I were like two peas in a pod. We were always together and extemely close. I care about him so much, so naturally I worry about him all the time.
He really has a problem with drinking and it disturbs me to no end. You would not believe all the calls I have got at all times of the night. My heart always skips a beat when our phone rings at night, because I’m like what has he done now :(.
I really want to find him some help or something that will make him wake up and realize there is so much more to life than drinking. You do not have to go through life depending on alcohol.
While doing a search online for an Alcohol Rehab Program, I came across this neat Cliffside Malibu house. They plainly say on their site, that Alcohol abuse is a disease. I know it is, because he keeps turning to alcohol. I really like how, they treat depression in the rehab treatment along with the alcohol abuse. I know without a shadow of a doubt, that his depression is an underlying cause and he feels better about himself when he’s drunk.
This alcohol rehab place really works with you on an individual basis to help you come to terms with what you are doing to your body. He needs that and they have around the clock care as well. Its so much deeper than the disease and if he would just let someone work and care for him like at this alcohol rehabilitation place, then I think he can walk out a winner and get his life back on the right path of success.
I know he cannot do this alone, and this is such a great family atmosphere and not an hospital atmosphere to where I think it would help rid his body of this awful disease. Please pray for him that he can make the right steps to sobriety.
I know everyone is probably up to their eyeballs in all this election stuff.
I just really want to say to everyone, to please stop all the slandering of either candidate and sit back and do the research you need for both candidates. Also actually take time to watch the conventions that are going on. The republican convention is going on right now. I am watching and yes, I did watch the democrat convention last week.
These emails or postings in the online world that are going around with false information is so misinforming to others that may not know to look up the information to see if it was true or false. You can go and do a quick search at www. snopes. com to see if stuff is either fact or fiction.
I have really did the research on the candidates online and offline and to align with all my beliefs, yes I am pulling for the McCain/Palin team, but I am not going to go around bashing Obama and his staff. This is our country people, lets stop the bashing and let others make their own personal choice based on their research and their beliefs.
I just want you all to do the same and vote for the best one that aligns with your beliefs and not base your vote on emails or what he said she said stuff. Also, if you are still having a problem of picking your candidate then pray about it. God really helped me with signs that I were looking for.
America does need change and if we all pull into together and make wise choices about life, we can change it one person at at time :).
I cannot believe that Summer 08 is over. It went by so fast. We just had to end it on a bang and took the girls to Tweetsie. I found out really quick that my 5 year old is not scared of nothing as far as riding rides. Let me show you what we went on, that about gave this momma heart failure ;).
You better believe this momma was screaming all the way up and down. Madisyn was just holding on to me really tight. What it would do is take you up and drop you really fast with no warning. It did that over and over. PHEW!!!!
She was riding all the adult rides and kept asking to re-ride them.
We finally talked her into going to feed the animals. The girls had an absolute blast with the animals eating out of their hands.
I actually got Lyndsee on a ride finally.. her first ever. So cute.
It was fun to let our hair down so to speak and just go with the flow :). Good bye Summer… HELLO Fall 08 🙂
