Christmas happenings!

Okay so it's been a few days since I've blogged. I have gotten rather side-tracked because my Skank friends and I have created a beautiful facebook group lol. It's called "Skanks Inc" and I know so many people just don't get it. Well, you don't have to. It's an inside thing lol 

Anyway, we had a wonderful Christmas. It is hands down my favorite holiday. I hate the financial issue part of it. I never have much money, no matter how hard my hubby and I work all year long. We are managing to stay pretty even though. Our savings haven't gone up at all, but they haven't gone down either. We are just maintaining a balance. As long as we don't go on any shopping spree's, we are fine. Which is what our problem was for Christmas. I am so very thankful though that we are at least staying afloat. Even if it is just barely.

Christmas Eve was really fun. We went over to Uncle Charlie's for our annual Christmas Eve gathering. It's always a good time. This year, we played Christmas Bingo. Even the kids got to play and we had prizes for all ages. All the kids won at least once. 

Zachy won this spin brush as a prize in bingo

 This was by far the best gift ever lol. Thanks to my sister for paying attention the day that I posted a link to this product on my facebook.

 

My sister-in-law and I did not plan this. We showed up wearing the exact same shirt.

 My cousin, Ryan, was in rare form that day. He had me about in tears from laughter a couple times. Here he is with my Uncle Charlie (his dad) trying to clean up the kitchen after we ate. They were in some type of amazement over the Christmas Press N Seal paper lol

Mom wanted a pictures of her and dad with their kids, and then just one of their kids. So we got together and took so cute ones! 

^^  I'm gonna try and get this one framed for mom ^^

 Then of course, we had to show our true colors!

 Christmas Day, me and Zachy got up before Aaron and I let Zach open his gifts because if we would have waited on Aaron, Zach wouldn't have gotten to play with them at ALL before going to his daddy's. Aaron had stayed up til like 6am. You can't do that when you have a kiddo on Christmas Eve! Lol

Zach leaves fudge and cookies for Santa, before he goes to bed.

This is after Santa came. 

 He loved his new Furby

He got this imaginex castle.

Then went to Mom's after that and had Christmas there with Grandma, Mom, Dad, Kati, and Tommy. 

 Kati actually had this on their wedding registry. Who does that? Kati does. The girl is to funny.

 Tommy and Aaron with their favorite game shirts. 

Best picture of the day, hands down. Never a dull moment in this family. 

So later on Christmas night, mom was admitted to the hospital after waking up from a nap with a fever of 105. She has cellulites (sp?) and has been there since that day. She is still there. Not getting any worse, but def not getting any better. Her body is not responding to the antibiotics, so they are giving her something else. At first I thought it was a staph infection, but it's not. However, it could very easily turn into one, and since her knee was replaced, and is a foreign body part, they are worried about it developing there as well. SO everyone just please keep mom in your prayers. She has to be able to make it to Kati and Tommy's wedding on Saturday. Fingers crossed and praying like crazy!

Until next time!

Stupid girls

So, I'm pretty bored right now. I figure because of that, I'll blog. But, i'm not sure what about. I've had a pretty uneventful couple of days. Well, kind of..

Yesterday some ho bag in Aaron's family, his cousin, decided to pick a fight. She made a very rude comment on a photo of mine. (Talking to Aaron) " Why don't you ask your wife if she had to have her dress custom made for your wedding. I didn't know Wedding dresses came in that big of a size" . .or something along those lines. Bitch. I tell you what, she is lucky she was at a decent distance from me, cause I would have shown her just how "big" I am had she been in front of me. I don't usually like to threaten to kick someone's ass because i'm a mom and wouldn't wanna be thrown in Jail and have to spend time away from my son. Plus, that is just something my ex husband could hold against me if he ever tried to go for custody. But man she had me pissed off enough that I would have totally tore her apart. After crying for about 20 minutes, and a pep talk from my wonderful, loving husband, I felt better and I told her what I thought of her. This is how our convo went.. (Please, bare in mind, she called me fat. I don't take well to that and Some of the things I said might have been inappropriate.

Excuse me but I don't know who the hell you think you are, talking about me like that. You don't know me, and I don't know you and after that harsh comment about me, I am glad I don't! I may not be some anorexic looking little twig bitch but at least I have a heart and i'm not a bitch about people I don't know. I never did or said a bad thing about you. Infact, pretty sure I told Aaron to knock it off, did I not? So take your fucking cunt ass back to where you came from and don't YOU EVER let me catch you out in person!

Thanks Bitch.

Nothing against you I love u. I'm pissed off at Aaron for talking trash about my boyfriend Mike who he's never even met. I don't judge anybody and I gave Aaron a taste of his own medicine.
Say what you want about me. Your not gonna hurt my feelings. You know you I didn't mean what I said about you. But Aaron needs to learn respect!!!!

Laurie Houchin
You said quite a few things on our pictures that I now know were rude and hurtful. And nothing less than that. You don't attack someone by putting down someone ELSE in their life. Nothing against me?! PLEASE! You totally attacked my personal appearance and that is WRONG! I don't care that you try to teach Aaron a lesson, you don't need to be involving ME in it!! You don't know the struggles i've gone through with my weight gain and you don't know the reasons behind it. Nor do you know the self esteem problems I have. So thanks, but no thanks. Your apology is not accepted. Leave me alone.

Cecilia Spainhour
I don't like drama so I'd rather just not be apart of Aaron's life if he's going to continue to talk trash about someone I love very much. I apologize that's not who I am. So lets just leave it at that


Okay, in reference to her saying "Nothing against you I love u" HOW the heck could you "love" someone you have never laid eyes on in person? She sounds totally messed up to me. And how the heck does "nothing against you" fit in a subject matter where she attacked MY personal appearance? YEAH, that was DEFINATELY against me. Slut.

Okay, well. I think i've vented about this hag long enough. I am just so thankful that Aaron was there to pick up the pieces after she crushed my self-esteem. He told me that i'm stunning and gorgeous no matter what. Definately NOT something my ex husband would have said to me. He always told me that i'm not any of that. I love Aaron and i'm so thankful to have him.

It's been awhile.

I've had this account for about two years. I used to blog all the time. Not sure what stopped me. Life I suppose. There's been times where I'm sure blogging would have helped me get through the struggles. And boy since I started this and stopped forever ago, there have been many struggles.

I was 26 when I stopped blogging. Single mother to my one year old, Zach. He is now a healthy 4 year old big boy. Well, he refers to himself as a big boy. He likes to remind me of it every time I try to dress him, or get him a drink, or even walk him down the street. He amazes me everyday with the things he has begun to take in. Some things that come out of his mouth, floor me, to say the least. He talks non stop at home. Around people he doesn't know very well though, he becomes shy. He is my little gift from God. I didn't get much out of my first marriage. It wasn't a happy one. But I did get the best little boy out of it.

Jason and I divorced, finally, in June of 2010. It was a marriage that never should have taken place. I'm not sure why it did. I guess because I thought I was in love. I was pregnant, but to me, that wasn't why I walked down the aisle. Jason was the one with the reservations that day. I was truly and honestly, happy. I should have taken a hint before we got married when he told my niece, Tara, in not so many words, how he wanted his cake and eat it too. Basically, he wanted to be married, and still mess around. Stupid me though, pregnant and hormonal, just wanted to do what I felt was right. And of course, I thought I loved him as well. Of course I did end up coming to my senses and although we are divorced and I am happily married a second time around, we remain great friends.

Speaking of being married a second time. . I am SO HAPPY now. Aaron and I met almost two years ago when I started working at JayC, our local grocery store. (I was actually with someone else, but we won't go there. He is crazy, and I don't wish to speak of that lunatic.) If you would have told me the day we met that I would have become his bride almost 2 years later, I would have laughed in your face. But, we got to know each other and a wonderful friendship grew. Then a little bit later, love. He is so amazing. Most of the men in my past, brought out the worst in me. Aaron brings out the best in me. He brings out the life in me. We were married on June 25th 2012. A beautiful Monday afternoon. I know, who marries on a Monday?! LOL well, we do. Because rather than spend thousands of dollars on a wedding, we just wanted to marry each other and didn't care how we did it. It wasn't important. The only thing important to us was spending the rest of our lives together. So that beautiful June afternoon, we took our vows and had our little reception at Ponderosa. I even let him talk me into a first dance to our song, "I won't give up" by Jason Mraz. One of the most romantic moments of my life :)) I grin ear to ear remembering it. SO this is my life now. A wonderful husband who would walk to the edge of the earth and back for me and a wonderful little boy who is very much in love with his mommy, and she with him. Hopefully soon, we will add another new addition to our little family. We may not have it all, but at least we have each other. It took me foreverrr to get to this place. I went through so much crap. But it was all worth it in the end.
