(I just laughed when I wrote that)<br />I don't think I was prepared to feel so yucky. Some times in the day I think I'm feeling good and then I try to over do it. By far? constipation has been the worse!! How's that for TMI? *sigh*<br />My mom was here for about 2 weeks. She just left today to head back to Pennsylvania.<br /><br />My brother and his wife had a bab on Halloween. Now I have a niece and a nephew. Yahoo! Elias James was born on Halloween at 8:42am. He weighed 8lbs 7oz and is 20 1/2 inches long. I haven't seen a picture or anything yet. He had some problems when he was first born and has been in the NICU for the last few days. I think he may go home with them today, though. Which is cool.<br /><br />Charlie is at the hospital with his grandmother. Who knows whats going on with her. She seems to be going to the hospital every so many weeks now. I think she's afraid she's going to pass out, have a stroke, or die or something. I guess at age 84 I'd be paranoid as well. Hopefully things are fine with her.Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629337334099791896noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10368958.post-67696230671705412552007-10-07T15:56:00.000-04:002007-10-07T16:04:01.966-04:00HmmmmIt's been a while since I've posted on here. I haven't really thought about it but lately people have been bring it up to me. Charlie said his boss was reading it? (Hi boss) and then my friend Christi was talking about how I should have a journal cause she's like to read it. Ha little does she know.<br /><br />This stupid fucking job of Charlie's has my life upside down. I told him as of today I'd never mention again how much he travels. I swear I won't. He says he can show me a spread sheet that just how much he travels and how many days and hours he's gone. I think he likes to be gone. I think he likes his job more than he likes being here. Sorry but I do. He DOES like his job. I don't know that it's a bad thing to like your job but I think it becomes a bad thing when you don't like your home. I have to have surgery in two weeks and now I wish I wasn't. Maybe I'll call on Monday and cancel it so that he doesn't have to take off of work. It's just going to create problems for his work and God knows it's going to piss him off to sit here int his house and force him to take care of the kids, drive them around have to deal with them. Maybe that's just what I'll doMissyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629337334099791896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10368958.post-1168093568819494212007-01-06T09:25:00.000-05:002007-01-06T09:26:08.830-05:00Happy Birthday Nate!<P>Six years ago tonight--- this is how it all started!</P><br /><P><IMG src="http://goooz.smugmug.com/photos/87305142-L.jpg"></P><br /><P>a tiny little 34 week'er. Actually, he was quite big. 5lbs 9oz but only 18 inches long. He had about 2 weeks in the NICU and then came home. I remember the nurse for him telling me he was a BULL! I was offended that this woman would even attempt to tell me MY sons personality. Good God was she ever right. He's 6 today and he's still that same little bull. Right now he's pretty onry. I don't know where he gets it from. *grin* He has the most beautiful eyes and i love his sense of humor! </P><br /><P> </P><br /><P>Anyhow, Happy birthday little buddy!

Simple, yet cute. How dorky that I miss that blog. LOL Nathan is home sick today. He has gone to the bathroom (#2) at least 10 times this morning and thrown up, too. He's coughing really bad but no fever. And he acts completely normal. I still have a 12:00 Drs appointment because i need him to get some nebulizer treatments for when this cough settles in his chest.<br /><br />I just spent my morning at the middle school. Some kid stabbed brittany in the leg with a pencil and I was pissed! They told Charlie they weren't at libery to discuss the kids punishment. Yeah ok. That went over well. NOT! So today I told them to either tell or I was going to go to the Sheriff and file assult charges. They told me the boy had been suspended for a few days but couldn't tell me the specifics. I feel better knowing he got out of school suspension. Brittany said he got dentention or In school suspension.<br /><br />Samantha is supposed to come here in a bit. Bob is bringing her. Tonight is Charlie's work Christmas party. I dread going with Nathan being as sick as he is. Cecil said she'd baby sit. That'll be cool. I'm not sure how long we'll stay though because of how Nathan feels. Plus, if the party sucks? It gives me a good reason to go home. I still need to buy something to wear. My fat ass doesn't have anything. I have lost 8 pounds though and kept it off. That's a good thing, right?<br /><br />I sent my first batch of Christmas cards out yesterday. Only 18 of them. I need to send more. They are sitting here looking at me. Blech! I don't feel like it but I know it needs to get done. Well that's my update. It's been a while!>Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629337334099791896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10368958.post-1160046571153046212006-10-05T07:06:00.000-04:002006-10-05T07:09:31.163-04:0017 daysSo... 17 days and then it's my birthday. It's kind of weird to think about bing 30. I've always wanted to be older. I hated when people looked at me weird because of having 4 kids at the age of 24 etc. Now that it's coming up I wish it would go away. LOL<br /><br />It's hard to believe the wedding is one month and 3 days ago! How did THAT happen?!? It's gone by so fast! I think I'm finally coming off of that. I didn't know what to do with myself. I had nothing else to plan. NO more looking at flowers, centerpieces, dresses, jewelry, veils etc. I didn't realize how much of my time and energy that wedding took.Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629337334099791896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10368958.post-1157845962201825632006-09-09T19:11:00.000-04:002006-09-09T19:52:42.666-04:00<a href="http://goooz.smugmug.com/photos/94084354-L.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://goooz.smugmug.com/photos/94084354-L.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Wow, it's been one week already. Where has the time gone?<br /><br />I can't believe that one week, 3 hours and 6 minutes ago I was getting married. I feel 18 years old. I think the part that makes me the happiest and probably the most scared is that Charlie is so much like my dad. I've always had reservations about relationships etc and jokingly set the bar. . . You'd better be prepared to treat me as good as my father does because I have it good. That was always a safety net. Well guess what? I found it. He does and it's such a nice secure feeling.<br /><br />Here are just a few of my favorite shots from our photograher.<br /><br /><a href="http://goooz.smugmug.com/photos/94084352-L.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://goooz.smugmug.com/photos/94084352-L.jpg" border="0" /></a>Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629337334099791896noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10368958.post-1157629720786780792006-09-07T07:13:00.000-04:002006-09-07T07:48:41.116-04:00I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaack<a href="http://goooz.smugmug.com/photos/92918510-L.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://goooz.smugmug.com/photos/92918510-L.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />So.<br /><br />Now I'm back and married. Weird saying that! This week I've been doing all of the legal stuff and changing whatever I could think of that needed to be changed. SS#, drives license, bank accounts, car insurance etc. What a pain in the butt but hey at least it's done. I'm kind of bored now. Nothing to plan. Nothing to look at. No colors to pick, music to select, favors to decide on etc. Now what? LOL<br /><br />Our wedding was absolutely beautiful. It went off pretty well I think. Charlie was so handsome and the kids all looked their very best.<br /><a href="http://goooz.smugmug.com/photos/92918512-L.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://goooz.smugmug.com/photos/92918512-L.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://goooz.smugmug.com/photos/92918510-L.jpg"></a>Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629337334099791896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10368958.post-1156848288606560442006-08-29T06:39:00.000-04:002006-08-29T06:44:48.623-04:00CountdownOk. So I'm only a few days away from this wedding. hello. Ernesto? Go away! We don't need any! They are saying it will go through on Friday now. Yesterday they said it would come through on Satuday! I'm crossing my fingers. My parents should be here tomorrow. I'm not sure what other stuff I have to do. I'm sure something... I just can't remember lol<br /><br /><br />I can't believe i'ts been a year since Hurricane Katrina. I watched the special on NBC last night. Man, it makes me angry all over again. I can't even imagine what I'd do, how i'd react or what. I'd probably just have left but I realize not everyone can.<br /><br />Charlie is at the gym. Must be nice. He must have a wedding dress to fit into. Ha! He should stay here and let ME go. lol I haven't been going because I have nathan. He has his kindergarten assessment today. That should be fun. The whole school district is screwed up this year. Kids don't have schedules, teachers are being changed. Today? Who knows. they say that he has a guy named Mr Pate. But I heard after the assessment it might change. I'm going to write a letter to the school board. Perhaps Ill go in and sit with them. Something needs to be done. The principal is just such an ass. 19 teachers put in for a transfer. what does that tell you?<br /><br />Anyhow, I need to go get the girls up for school... .Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629337334099791896noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10368958.post-1156296603531422702006-08-22T21:29:00.000-04:002006-08-22T21:30:03.540-04:00Getting Close!holy cow.<br /><br />I'm days away from this wedding. Why on w hy am I a nervous wreck. my stress level is beyond high. Charlie's been gone for what seems like forever. The kids go back to school on Friday. ... brb... it's lightening..Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629337334099791896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10368958.post-1155183410426374992006-08-10T00:16:00.000-04:002006-08-10T00:16:50.436-04:00SnapWell I don't know what the cause is for sure...<br /><br />but I know I snapped tonight.<br /><br />I haven't been on any antidepressant/mood stabilizing drugs for about 7 weeks. Probably not the best time to go off of them LOL<br />I'm supposed to get married September 2nd. I don't have everything paid for yet. I need about $2500 by the 19th of this month. We're praying for a bonus check on the 15th.<br />My kids have been horrible. Making messes, running in the house, sliding down the steps, not sleeping until late at night and waking early in the mornings.<br />Charlies been out of town since 3 on Sunday. he was supposed to come home tonight but didn't. He'll be home *sometime tomorrow*. I've had it. I feel like I'm so stressed. Charlie has been so tired that when he's home he doesn't want to do anything. So my yard isn't getting tended to. Nothings getting done. I have to do the laundry, the cleaning, the yard work, the child raising, the bill paying, the wedding planner, the wedding stresser. I'm not sure what his role is in this house!!!!! Just going to work? Well shit. Sign me up.<br />So tonight? I've had it.<br /><br />I just spent hours cleaning my kitchen. 2 garbage bags full of garbage. Throwing away everything. Emptied every cabinet and wiped it down. used Clorox clean up on the outsides, scrubbed the floors on my hands and knees. I threw an empty milk cartoon towards Megan because she didn't throw it away. I swear. She's lucky it wasn't full. Oddly enough? I feel much better. Brooke tried to talk to me and I told her to shut up. So she went and wrote me a note that asked " mom can Megan and me clean my room tomorrow" I hung it on the refrigerator. I feel bad but I think it needed to happen. They need to know that this shit is done. I'm not a freaking maid. We have too many people in this house for no one to have responsibility for their stuff.Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629337334099791896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10368958.post-1154532348566572002006-08-02T11:20:00.000-04:002006-08-02T11:25:48.606-04:00holy hotThe news said that today the heat index is going to be 115. Blech. We've turned the AC up in our house. Normally it's like 72'ish? And now it's about 75/76. It's still making a big difference in the house. Who wants to even be outside. Not me!<br /><br />We went to Virginia Beach on Friday with Charlie's biological family. We had a really good time. Friday and most of Saturday we just stayed at the hotel and beach. We went to the boardwalk area and got one of those bikes that hold the whole family. We peddled our butts for like 2-2 1/2 miles . I think it felt like 12. It was soooo hot. We went out on Saturday to some Irish Pub to see Chuck play in a band. Megan freaking loved it! She was quite the little groupie!<br /><br />Oh yesterday I went and looked at my bridal portraits. Hello!. Can we say fat? It's funny because in my head? I don't look as fat as I did in my pictures. LOL Out of 20 pictures-- I picked 6.. and narrowed it down to 4. I should have them back rather quickly. Good.<br /><br />I have to go make lunch.. perhaps ill be back!Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629337334099791896noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10368958.post-1153430548095717592006-07-20T17:14:00.000-04:002006-07-20T17:22:28.120-04:00Happiness...It's funnier that the happier I am; the less I use this thing. perhaps thats why I used it so much before. Now? I just basically use it to update people that I haven't had a chance to touch base with. <br /><br />Currently? Busy! Wedding wedding wedding. I'm in over load mode. I have had so much to do. So many choices to make and still a million more to make. Lord help me. ADHD people should NOT plan weddings. It is frying my brain. I've picked the father/daughter dance. It's going to be Heartland.. "I loved her first" AWESOME song! You can hear it here <a href="http://www.goooz.com/Heartland%20I%20loved%20her%20first.mp3">http://www.goooz.com/Heartland%20I%20loved%20her%20first.mp3</a><br /><br />And our wedding song is going to be All we ever find by Tim McGraw. Back in Halifax? When this CD first came out I told Charlie the song reminded me of us. He listened to it on the way from Allentown to my house and learned all the words. He'd practice with brittany in the car and then attempt to sing it to me. (key word attempt) You can hear it here.. <a href="http://www.goooz.com/Tim%20McGraw%20-%20All%20We%20Ever%20Find.mp3">http://www.goooz.com/Tim%20McGraw%20-%20All%20We%20Ever%20Find.mp3</a><br /><br /> I have officially changed the flowers, which changes the color scheme which changes the .. etc... My dress had to change too. holy freaking drama!!! But I love the dress I have. The first one my parents really liked. But this one? I loved! I'm not even girlie but when I put it on? I almost cried. *gasp* don't tell! LOL<br /><br />Tonight I'm going to a pampered Chef party at Shannon's house. It should be fun. How pathetic am I that the only thing I want is bamboo tongs. I love them for turning bacon LOL I might get a stone cookie sheet too. Funds are limited now because of the wedding. So we'll see.<br />Shannon's been a huge help with this whole wedding thing. It's good for her because she's organized. NOT me! LOL She helped me make the invitations and she booked the hotel rooms and everything. Huge help! I have another project I am going to have her help me do-- we'll see how it goes. LOL<br /><br />I sent out the invitations on Monday. I got one back so far. From Shannon LOL cross your fingers. I hope to hear back soon from people. I have to give final count for food on August 19th. Man that's not very far away is it??? *gasp*<br /><br />Ok for now? that's it!Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629337334099791896noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10368958.post-1151324614664981132006-06-26T08:02:00.000-04:002006-06-26T08:23:34.683-04:00LonelyMan my house is quiet. There are no love sounds here. No kids fighting. No whining. It's weird. I always want peace and quiet but now? It's too quiet. How on earth do single people live? It's like a hotel here! Anthony, Brooke and Megan are in PA. Brittany is in Florida. Who knows when they will all come home.<br /><br />Hey though. A few weeks ago I went to see Tim and Faith. I had pretty kick ass seats. Unfortunately. Why is it unfortunate? Well dang. I was able to be close and see how heavy Tim has gotten! LOL Dang. He's busted a gut since September. And Faith? Well man. She's got crows feet and a wrinkly neck. I guess it made them more human and normal to me. I'd rather see Faith gain the weight! hahaha It was really nice to hear them sing their love songs and duets. But I missed all of Tim's songs.<br /><br />I've spent some time at Cecil's' this week. We've gone to the movies, gone bowling, gone to lunch and sometimes to dinner. We've gone go-kart racing, miniature golf playing and video game time wasting! We've managed to get our hair done for insane amounts of money. I've bought a hot dog at an outside vendor and man did it taste good.<br /><br />I've been pissed off at my sister for well over a week now. I'm coming to a conclusion that just because someone is your family; you don't have to like them. She's mean. And hateful and ungrateful and self-centered. Disrespectful and just Grrrrrrr! I don't know how someone can have so much and appreciate so little of it. Man, if I had my way i'd be living at home hahaha and there she is. Totally lazy. totally ungrateful. I get so tired of hearing her whine and bitch about things and yell at my parents. Some day? I'm going to forget she's 19 and forget she's my sister and I'm going to knock her ass out. Just once. It's not about personality differences. I realize everyone is different. It's all about having respect. how hard is that? Just respect people.<br /><br />The wedding is coming up. I'm not even sure where I'm going to pull all of the money for it. I'm starting to have dreams about the wedding totally crashing. my hair isn't done, the dress doesn't look right on, no one shows up, I see Charlie before the wedding and the photographer doesn't show. Yep. Stress and anxiety. I still have a lot to do. I hate doing work. I should have hired a wedding consultant.<br /><br />Well for now? I'm going to goMissyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629337334099791896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10368958.post-1148555428315732422006-05-25T07:02:00.000-04:002006-05-25T07:10:28.326-04:00Soul Patrol Soul Patrol!Well it's over. The 5th season of American Idol has come to an end. I'm so glad Taylor Hicks won. He will have an incredible career. I truly believe it will parallel Clay Aiken's. He has the like ability factor like Clay. People who are 90 will like him as much as the 9 year olds. Although I did read the other day that he had been busted for drugs back in1998 (I think?) Go Taylor. Get on wit yer bad self..LOL The season finale was FABULOUS! Man I was screaming! Did you see Clay?? Omg did you??? WOOO HOOO CLAY AIKEN! I love love love love to hear Clay sing. I have to admit that he painfully looked like PeeWee Herman last night with that hair but who cares. That boy can SING! Where was Ruben? Where was Fantasia? I'm sure their schedules weren't THAT booked. LOL Anyhow.. Great show! I think it's hilarious that Simon said Taylor would never make it to be judged by people.... let alone... HE WON! Take that Simon!<br /><br />Charlie is away again. Why is that not shocking. This stupid freaking job has him traveling for what seems like forever. Sometimes I just wish he'd have kept his job in Pennsylvania. At least then we'd still make the same money and not see Charlie. Now? We're 30% more poor and Charlie isn't home. You do the math and tell me why this job is better. Hopefully the traveling won't continue long. But it's been a long freakin' 5-6 weeks.<br /><br />My mom and dad are coming down tomorrow for the weekend. Weee haaa Cowboy (in my best Nathan voice) It'll be nice to visit with them and do basically NOTHING! LOL Sunday I am watching Samantha while everyone goes the races. Well--- assuming that they all go to the races. LOL They need tickets first. Shannon said Carrie Underwood is supposed to be singing there. wahhhh I like her. I put up a post on Craigslist offering to trade 2 Tim and Faith tickets for decent American Idol tour tickets this summer. No one has responded. Damn. I thought it was a pretty good trade since Tim is way more hot than Kevin Covais AKA-- Chicken Little.<br /><br />I had a dream last night about Andy Marshall. Man i felt like I was in high school all over again. Yep and he was even stoned in my dream. I don't know what kind of drugs he was on though LOL In my dream Johns girlfriend told me I had too many clothes for my kids and that she felt I should give them to John. Um, hello. Noway. They were bought by ME LOL Funny how dreams make you hate people lol Ok maybe it wasn't the dream :) On that note..<br /><br />... I need to go wake the kids.Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629337334099791896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10368958.post-1148421620401905652006-05-23T17:25:00.000-04:002006-05-23T18:00:20.430-04:00It feels like MondayEven though it's Tuesday, it sure does feel like Monday. What a long day. I spent my whole day at the Doctors office with Cecil and her boy. Around 10 I got a call from the school telling me that Megan's ear hurt her and to come get her. We then went to Urgent Care so Robbie could get a Cat scan of his belly. It turns out he's fine. Megan ended up with an ear infection and initial tests reveal no strep throat. Brittany's said no strep either until they did the 24 hour culture. I was supposed to get my hair done today. That didn't work out as planned. I guess I'll just reschedule it.<br /><br />Tonight is American Idol. Can you believe Chris got voted off? That's almost as bad as voting off Boston Rob on Survivor. What in the hell are those people thinking? Vote people. Vote. I think Taylor is the better of the two left. He has the potential to sell more albums and he'll gain a following like Clay Aiken. Katherine McFlirt.. Well, she'll die out quickly. I guarantee she'll forget the song lyrics to at least one song. She can sing really well but I just don't like her. Maybe I just don't like her parents. I can't tell. If she wins though ? I'm ok with that. Taylor can be runner up and then he won't be as tied to the title. I still wish Chris was in it though. He has been by far my favorite.<br /><br />The next few weeks are busy! My mom and dad are coming this weekend. I think my dad and Charlie are going to see NASCAR in Charlotte. My brother and his wife and baby come the following week. We have an orthodontist appointment, Brooke's IEP and the 5th grade dance all next week. The following week is even more busy. I know Charlie has a butt load of traveling to do coming up. Like-- Canada, SC, Atlanta, Boulder, Co, and who knows where else. I just got season tickets for Kings Dominion. I think the kids will like to go there this summer. It was a crazy good deal. $59.99 for the season? heck I'm so on that. On a hot hot day? We can go to their water park. On the weekends? We can go to their amusement parks etc. Plus... we have the wedding coming up... it will give me a good mental release. ha!<br /><br />We met with a photographer last week. he was pretty decent. I know Charlie really liked his personality and sincerity above all else. he offered some pretty good reasonable packages too. I think he wants about $3000 for a decent package which isn't too bad.<br /><br />Well I guess I'm rambling... Ill write more later!Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629337334099791896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10368958.post-1147372496544738442006-05-11T14:30:00.000-04:002006-05-11T14:34:56.556-04:00AloneSo here I sit. Alone. I feel like I've been in this house alone for forever now. I know Charlie used to be gone for weeks and weeks but he's been home for so long that the last 2 weeks have been dragging out. Next week he goes to Chicago for a few days. Blach! He got to Omaha last night and today sounds as if it's a pretty shitty day for him. I have managed to clean my living room and dining area today. I also went through my whole filing cabinet and organized it and purged it of stupid return envelopes and things like that. I hate throwing stuff away.<br /><br />On Sunday Nathan was chasing our cat, Angel, and fell into a treasure box in Brittany's room. That resulted in a 4 hour trip to the ER. He actually cut right between his nostrils. I've never seen a cut there. He didn't get stitches or anything because by the time we were seen it had started to deal. They did super glue it (for lack of better terms) and put some steri-strips on it. By Tuesday he had ripped them off. They did a CAT scan and that came back normal-- thank god!<br /><br /> Oh speaking of normal or perhaps abnormal. I had my yearly pap smear and that came back abnormal. I have to have a colposcopy done on the 30th. They said I have cervical dysplasia and something else but I forget. My mom had the same stuff she said. She ended up with a hysterectomy at 32. I'm nervous.<br /><br />Times are getting busy around here. Summer is coming. I can't wait.Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629337334099791896noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10368958.post-1145993146887348142006-04-25T15:19:00.000-04:002006-04-25T15:25:46.906-04:00Summer time.....Well the weather seems to be staying pretty warm lately. That's always a good thing. I just got back on Friday from a few days in Pennsylvania. It was a nice trip. I surprised the kids dad with a small visit. We ended up also going to the Chocolate Factory in Hershey. Blah. But they enjoyed it; followed by a lunch at Red Robin. Man it's been a few years since I've been at a Red Robin!. I got to see my adorable little niece, Emily. I can't believe how big she's getting! I swear she's the cutest thing and I think she likes me, too. Probably not as much as Shannon's baby, Samantha. Samantha is getting BIG! I was only gone a week and I come back and she's so filled out now. Like, 0-3 month clothes actually fit her. I really do need to take some more pictures of her. It's been too long.<br /><br />Yesterday I took Brittany to the dentist. She had some teeth issues so today she had to go back in and get some work done. The dentist also did an xray of Anthony's mouth while we were there. While we were in PA.. Anthony got kicked in the face by a kid on the trampoline. Those things are THE MOST dangerous things. That is why I won't and refuse to own one! I just hate them. There was no root damage though to the teeth which is great! Brittany's fillings are white composite which is nice, too. That way her smile will be white, not grey! Thursday I have to take her to the orthodontist in the morning and then Friday Brittany and Anthony both have an appointment with the dermatologist. Brittany's face breaks out soooo bad. I'm hoping that they can give her something to help it clear up. Sometimes it looks like poison ivy. At 11? That's a horrible thing to have! Anthony keeps getting a fungus. Last year he had ring worm and he's been struggling with a fungus type thing every since. He takes oral meds for it, uses prescription shampoo,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, etc what else can I do, ya know?<br /><br />Charlie is away this week in Virginia Beach. It sucks! Because I was gone last week for a few days we only had like 1 day together. I'll be happy when he gets home. When he DOES get home, I'm going to make him sit down with me and we're going to send out "save the dates" and make some real wedding plans. I'm tired of being in limbo LOL<br /><br />Well there's an update. I don't know what else to tell yall lolMissyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629337334099791896noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10368958.post-1144411879837041932006-04-07T08:09:00.000-04:002006-04-07T08:11:19.853-04:00Tattooooooo<a href="http://goooz.smugmug.com/photos/63264208-M.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://goooz.smugmug.com/photos/63264208-M.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />So I got a tattoo. Yep. It hurts. I didn't say bad words. I didn't scream but yep. It freaking hurt! LOL Not so bad that I didn't let them finish but enough taht I am sure I don't want to do THAT again!

She's absolutely beautiful. Samantha Grace. She weighed in at 7lbs 10 ounces. And I must say.. she looks JUST like Bob! LOL This is the picture I took for their announcements. She's just the most precious little thing. I went over yesterday and played some cards and hung out with Shannon and her mom. It was fun. It's so nice to hold a new baby and to smell them. Samantha smells so darn good, too!<br /><br />Things around here are getting busy. Brittany's been doing really well with her braces. She got the color thingies changed the other day. Now I call her watermelon mouth. She picked bright green and pink. Whatever! But at least she's taking care of them 110% better than I thought she would. At the end of April, she will get her head gear. I hope she doesn't give us too much crap about that. And then soon? Anthony will have braces, too. There goes $300 a month in braces. Ouch ouch ouch<br /><br />We went to Texas a few weeks ago for Charlie's family birthday/reunion/party type thing. That was ok. It freaking rained the whole time. I'm sure some of you saw all of the flooding that Dallas had? Yep. That's where we were. The flooding was very scary. I was riding int he car with my fingers covering my ears and my eyes squeezed shut as tight as I could get them. hmmm I wonder if I have a picture of that... Ahhhh there it is!Isn't that crazy? That is an off ramp and the water was 1/2 way up the light poles!<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/164/799/1600/March06%20209%20(Small).jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/164/799/320/March06%20209%20%28Small%29.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/164/799/1600/March06%20168.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/164/799/320/March06%20168.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />So here is a bad picture of Brittany and Charlie and I from Texas... I was talking so that's why I look horrible.<br /><br />Oh then there is the wedding. I placed my order for the flowers the other day... I'm not sure if I'm convinced that they are what I want... I put $200 down towards them. So what do you think of these? They are kind of purple for my liking. We aren't going to have as much pink in there. We're going to use candlelight roses I think.. I think next I will find and pay for a cake.. and then a photographer... It's going to be hard to pick a photographer.. And I guess i need to book a block of hotel rooms for people, too. *sigh* this stinks! I hate stress. OH and invitations. I did pay someone from 2peas to make some stuff for me.. but.. she hasn't gotten back to me. I don't know at what point I should get nervous LOL<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/164/799/1600/3506.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/164/799/320/3506.jpg" border="0" /></a>Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629337334099791896noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10368958.post-1142253141567249392006-03-13T07:23:00.000-05:002006-03-13T07:32:21.580-05:00Today is the day!!!Today is a BIG day! For what you ask???<br /><br />Well, after watching the Soprano's last night (yayayay!!! I'm sooo glad it's back on!) I fell fast asleep. Only to be awaken by Shannon around 11:15 I think ? Saying that it's baby time! She was having strong contractions and they were heading off to the hospital! Can you believe it? Wahoooy! They ended up sending her home since she's in the early stages of labor. Hell that can last FOREVER! LOL I am so excited. Charlie's still convinced that he's going to call this baby Oksana. Speaking of baby's. I can't believe Mona is pregnant. Holy shit!!! At 45? Lord help me if that ever happens to ME but--- I'm excited for her. Hell. I'm excited for anyone who has a baby other than myself LOL<br /><br />Also on the important news of the day?? Today?? This morning? 10am???? Tim McGraw tickets go on sale at 10am! I can't wait! He's coming to Raleigh with Faith. Hell I don't even hardly know many Faith songs LOL I'll just sit there and sway back and forth. But Tim? Wahoooyyyy!!!!! I'm so there!<br /><br />We moved the kids rooms around last night. Talk about tiring chore. I still need to finish cleaning up the girls room but Brittany's room is pretty much done. As is the boys room. Who knew such little people could accumulate so much shit!?!? Where do they get it all?????<br /><br />My mom is coming this week. Wednesday night to be exact. I think she'll end up bringing a U-haul with her to bring all the crap she's bringing down. Oh--reference back up to where they get all their shit from... Nana! She's bringing curtains and comforters and blah blah blah blah blah lol She's staying until NEXT Friday-- and my dad and sister are coming next Thursday to spend the night on their way to Myrtle Beach and then again spending the night on Sunday. We're going to have a busy week!<br /><br />We leave this Friday, the 17th to go to Texas. What on earth can I possibly do in Texas?? I wonder if I can spy Matthew McConaughy with my little eye? bwahahaha... That man is dreamy!<br />Teresa! It was awesome to hear from you! You should add me to your MSN. <a href="mailto:Melissa@goooz.com">Melissa@goooz.com</a> I so want to catch up with you!! Divorce? No kidding eh? Well, congrats I think? lol I knew you were on the fence about it before. How is Sara doing with it all?? I'm going to have to email you. But for now? I have to go get my girls up for school.<br /><br />Hows that for an update???Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629337334099791896noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10368958.post-1141741131930882402006-03-07T08:59:00.000-05:002006-03-07T09:18:51.943-05:00Moving OnGuess what??<br /><br />This is the first year in 4 years that I haven't been a total wreck that Nathan choked. I feel so liberated. I feel like maybe I'm emotionally passed the horror and guilt and fear. It's a great feeling. I can't believe it's been 4 years! I remember that day more than I remember the day he was born. Weird huh?<br /><br />This morning I am going out to breakfast with Shannon and Cecil. I think we're just going to the cracker barrel. Blah! I'll just get Eggs and ham and white toast. Shannon and I went for salad and soup yesterday. It was shockingly good. (But they put black olives on my salad. Yuck!)<br /><br />Dana Reeves died yesterday. That's so sad. I literally gasped. I feel so bad for that family. She truly exemplifies commitment. Just sooo sads.<br /><br />Charlie is gone all week to Virginia Beach. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... I'll be here with the kids. By Friday? I'll be institutionalized. Next week my mom and Patti are coming. That should be interesting. They plan on redoing the kids rooms. OH speaking of rooms??? The bonus room is 90% done. I mean it's painted, the floor is in, part of the base boarding molding is done... etc. Anthony has been sleeping in the room. Yay!Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629337334099791896noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10368958.post-1140292258199821792006-02-18T14:42:00.000-05:002006-02-18T14:50:58.220-05:00Well shitI just hate updating this thing anymore. I used to do it to vent or something. Now? It just seems boring. Who wants to hear about this crazy life? lol I think I set a wedding date. September 3rd. The weekend of Labor Day. That way people can travel from PA and not have to rush. AND I can get married on a Sunday and save some money. Good thought, huh?<br /><br />We went out to eat last night with Granny, Bob and Shannon. We only took Brooke and Megan though and had a sitter for the others. It was a pretty good time. Bob was hilarious. Totally cracked us up. He was writing on napkins and showing out the restaurant windows to the people waiting. "Is it still a 45 minute wait?" And then he turned it over and said "Guess what? I just saved on my car insurance! " He'd call them over to the window and show it.. It was a trip. Unless of course you are married to him lol<br /><br />The kids have been doing pretty good. Brittany goes to get her braces this coming week. Lord help us! $5500. Charlie's insurance will pay $1000 of it. She has to wear headgear at night for like the first year or so? Anthony will have to do all of that too but he doesn't go until the summer.<br /><br />On Friday I go to domestic relations for a modification. They are probably going to increase his support by $300 a month. PLUS he has to pay half of the $900 towards Anthonys braces and also half of the monthly bill. Yippeeeee.... That's a lot of stress off of my back let me just tell ya! He has no clue how expensive they get now. Like... for instance, I just paid $45 for a school year book, each month we pay $5 for dances, plus snack money, plus he goes on outings with the church which are usually $20 a weekend. That doesn't cover any food, school lunches, clothes, etec...<br /><br />We are ALL addicted to the card game Phasee 10. Love love love to play it. Charlie and I have been playing with Anthony and Brittany almost nightly. And during the day?? Cecil and Shannon and I play. It's nice to have friends down here. Oh heck and I've even been picking up the house WITHOUT a house cleaner. Imagine that LOL Today I was on all 4s scrubbing the kitchen floor, the bathroom floor, the cabinets, dusting ceiling fans, under couches, under cushions etc. I think it's SO much better to pay someone the $80 a week LOL<br /><br />Anyhow... Carol, Amy, Donna whoever else is reading...<br /><br />Here's your update LOLMissyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629337334099791896noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10368958.post-1135004929583472142005-12-19T10:03:00.000-05:002005-12-19T10:08:49.596-05:00Aunt Missy<a href="http://goooz.smugmug.com/photos/48880569-M.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://goooz.smugmug.com/photos/48880569-M.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I'm an aunt I'm an aunt I'm an aunt! wahoooo!

Granny is 82. She calls me today to tell me that her cell phone has totally stopped working. She wants me to call her to see if it rings becuase for two days now--- it hasn't worked for her. She can't dial out, she can't get in coming calls or anything. Well damn. It's not working. I don't know what the deal is!<br /><br />So I suggest to her taht she press the red "End" button on the phone. She said there was no lights anywhere. She hits the red "End" button and guess what? The damn thing turns ON! Granny.. Ya have to have the phone ON in order to make it work :) Lord help me!<br /><br />Charlie has a surprise birthday party to go to this weekend. I'm not even wanting to go but I guess I have no choice. It will be the "Drunk Charlie and his drunk coworker" party again. I'll probably have just as much fun as I had at the "Drunk Charlie and his drunk coworked" Christmas party last week. This week? Maybe I'll drink and remind the drunk coworked of some relationship manners.<br /><br />Anthony just got home from school. He has been getting Christmas break fever. He doesn't want to go to school. I would feel stupid letting him get out of school though. he's going to get a huge break here in what? 10 days? He needs to chill out.<br /><br />I think I have bronchitis. Im just not feeling well. It's been like a 2 week illness. As soon as I feel better-- I get sick all over again.. I give up!<br /><br />I took some pictures yesterday of Brittany and her friend, Sara. I am really happy with how they turned out :)<br /> <a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/164/799/1600/friends.jpg"><img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/164/799/320/friends.jpg" border="0" /></a>Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629337334099791896noreply@blogger.com0
