Okay I have to vent about this. You know what bugs the shit out of me? Parents who depend on other people ALL the time to help them with there kids. Like if they have a doctor appt they can’t take there kids by themselves. Are you kidding me? You have to have someone come with you? Now I will admit it is nice to have help but you shouldn’t have to have it. I’m 6 months pregnant & I’ve taken both kids to an appointment by myself before. I’ve taken them both out alone before. I don’t need someone there to help me. Yeah its nice to go shopping with a friend but when it comes down to it I could take both the kids out and not have a freak attack about it (or complain non stop about not having help).I mean they are MY kids. Not my parents or my friends. So why should someone have to stop their life to help me? They shouldn’t and I don’t expect them to. Oh & I fully know that I will most likely be taking THREE kids out by myself without  help & you know what I’m okay with that.

Besides that we are doing good. Today is Charles first day of college. He had to leave here at 6:30 and his first classes hasn’t even started yet. Troy learned how to spell his name yesterday and its soo cute to hear him spell it. Rachel is a little climbing machine. She likes to climb up onto the couch and then someone has to help her down and then she climbs right back up.

Some updates on the family: Charles starts college next Wednesday. Troy is becoming more verbal every day & now when he talks you can understand 90% of what he says. Some times he talks too fast (like his mommy) and then you can’t understand him.  We taught him his name yesterday & its so cute when he says it.  He thinks he is 3 and will be 4 in December.. Yeah nice try on giving yourself a extra year. Rachel is doing great. It rained a little yesterday when we went to Wal-Mart and she didn’t scream bloody murder when the rain hit her. She whined a little bit but that’s it. She’s now able to climb onto the couch and our bed. She likes to hold onto the side of her crib & jump up & down on her mattress. Crazy fearless girl! Pumpkin is doing great. I feel them move a LOT every day so that’s a good sign! I hardly ever felt Rachel move.

Last night at dinner I went around the table and asked Troy what everyone’s name was. He got his name, Rachel’s & daddy’s right. But when I asked him who I was he said ” A bear”. Nice right? So I just had to scrapbook that.

is thankful for my parents who showed me how to live, my husband who made me fearless (well in some area’s), my children for showing me how to love with my entire heart & not be afraid of getting hurt and my extended family & close friends who showed me that there are decent people in this world. I ♥ u all

I have learned the hard way that there are cruel mean and just plain awful people in this world. But every time I meet one I am just that much more thankful to my friends & family. I feel that much more blessed to know them.
