Things have been so hectic these days. Work has been quite busy. The children have started baseball/softball practices, and just things in general have kept me on my toes. I am trying to do as much as I can without going overboard. I just can’t wait for October to come. Then I will be able to do more.

I am happy that things are going well so far. I have a doctor’s appt. tomorrow. As each week goes by I feel better and better. I just want things to continue to go well. And in the end, we will have a wonderful addition to our family.

Today was not the best for me. I don’t know if it is the hormones or not, but I just broke down for a bit, but I am doing fine now. I guess sometimes I feel overwhelmed with things and wishing I could get everything done. Anyway, just wanted to make a quick post. Hope to post again soon with good news. Until then enjoy the weather and I will be back to post again soon.

Things always seem so hectic. It is just like we go through life doing the same few things over and over again…work, clean, etc. Life seems to be flying by. Sometimes it feels like Jason and I never get a chance to just talk.

Last night, we just took some time after the kids went to bed and watched a movie together. We haven’t really done that in a long time. The movie was nice, and it was not too late when it was over. So, instead of doing stuff on the computer we just went up to bed. Since we weren’t too tired, we just talked for a while. He and I had talked about when we started dating. He was talking about how he enjoyed and missed when I would come over to the apartment after working two jobs and just watched movies with him. It was so nice to just hear that from him. Sometimes, he isn’t open about his feelings. But it was special that he let me know that.

We also talked about the past and where we are in life right now. We talked about our thoughts on the past and the future. Things will be changing dramatically in the coming months. I had talked about my joys and concerns. I also had felt comfort in Jason’s reassurance that things will be fine. It seems like forever since we just talked and connected like that. I want to make it a point to keep this happening. I am hoping that we can take more time to watch movies and just spend quality time together. Just us.

Well, anyway, just wanted to write down my thoughts and hope that the future will continue to be well for us and we can continue connecting like we did last night. For now, it is off to the usual grind of laundry, cleaning and also getting the kids involved in their baseball/softball activities. Until I write again, enjoy.

Well, it has been a little bit of time since I wrote last. Things are going well. The kids enjoyed today. I took them to the open swim with Becky, Jim, Abby and Jamiece at the YMCA. We had to make a detour beforehand to pick up some bathing suits. I scored 2 suits for less than 20 dollars so that made me happy. Then we came back to the house and they stuck the wet stuff into the washer and dryer. We stopped over my parent’s house. My mom made a nice turkey dinner today. I even brought some stuff home for when Jason gets home. He won’t be home until late though.

He had quite a busy weekend. Yesterday I had to make sure he got up and ready and out the door to meet others at the store. They had to leave by 6am to meet the others and head of to Weatherly for the Robotics competition. He was there all day and I did get to see him in the evening. We were able to spend some time together. We made sure the clocks were changed and then headed off to bed.

Today the kids had CCD and then church. Jason went off to help in Stroudsburg. He was helping with their inventory. He had to be there for 2pm, but he had to make a stop earlier, so he was gone by 11am. I don’t expect to see him until 1am or so tonight. At least I will see him more tomorrow. He worked today to take the day off for my doctor’s appt. tomorrow. So, hopefully I will be able to go into more detail later on..but for right now, we can just leave it at that.

Well, just relaxing a bit and watching some tv. I will post more when I get a chance. Enjoy the reading for now and hopefully I will have more to post in the near future.

Well, it has been quite a long time since I have posted. Things have been busy. Between the usual stuff of work, kids, house, etc…now we have some more wonderful things being added in our lives. I have been glad to be able to hang out with friends and family more this year. I am also glad that Jason has been doing more things with friends and family as well.

We have one or two things in the works for the next few months, so hopefully we will enjoy more outings and such. This will hopefully be a good year. I can’t believe how fast time is flying, but it is both good and bad.

Well, I just wanted to make a quick post. I will post more later….now that I am on a different site and actually remember my name and password. Well, hope all is well with everyone and hopefully I will post more frequently.

Well, it has been some time since I have written. I am hoping everyone had a safe time with family and friends. I am hoping that this upcoming year will be a better one. I am hoping this year will bring me good luck in some aspects of my life. Well, hope to post more soon. Have a great year to all!!!!!

Man, time has been flying. I cannot believe it is the middle of December. I guess since we are constantly busy in our lives, the world just flies on by. I can’t believe that Christmas is almost here. I guess I just haven’t been in the Christmas spirit. It has been a hard month lately. Iam trying to get through this month. It has been a hard week for me. It has been one year since I had my second miscarriage. My co-worker who has gone through them as well said that it gets easier with time. But she said that with it being so close to the holidays, it will be a very hard time.

I am happy to say that Jason and I are pretty close to being done with shopping. I still have to get a few small odds and ends, but it is pretty much finished. It was nice to get to spend some time with him while the kids were with my parents. It was good to just have the 2 of us get things done and then get to spend a nice dinner together. Don’t get me wrong, I love¬† the kids as if they were my own, but every once in a while, it is nice for just the 2 of us to go out.

I guess I better go do do more straightening up and laundry. I am glad I try to keep things straightened up as much as I can. The kids have also been pretty good about picking up things after they are done, so usually with all the running on the weekends, I am not as overwhelmed. I hope to get most, if not all of the laundry done today. But it all depends on the running to basketball games and to the store. I hope to get houseowrk done by the time the first game starts, then run to the store for a few things, then to get back home, put the stuff away and then head over to the other game. Jason should be home by the time we get back from the second game, so I think it is going to be a late dinner for us.

Well, I haven’t written much. Been busy as usual. Why is it that just when I think things are looking up, boom I get knocked back down. Work has been pretty good lately, just busy with things. The kids keep me hopping with different activities.

This month is starting off with a bang. I have been using Jason’s car and we figured with the weather getting colder, I would get the tired on my car. So, it has been in the garage while he located the size and while it was¬†there, it got inspected, a new battery and the tires as well as new windshield wipers. So the mechanic calls and I figured great, I can pick it up during lunchtime and that way Jason can have his car since he is off today. Well, I take it….no problems. Then I get up to Hazleton and next thing you know, someone is telling me my tire was wobbling. Thank goodness for that lady and thank goodness for AAA.

So I drop the car off and hope it will be done correctly. Then I am going to the doctor tomorrow because I don’t know what happened to my finger. It has a tight tendon, and it never bothered me before. So, last night while Jason was working on his computer, I dozed off on the couch.¬† wake up and thought I fell alseep and needed the blood to flow back in. So, I went up to bed a bit later. I woke up this morning and it is still feeling wierd. It is not hurting, and not numb, but it has a weird feel to it when anything touches it. So, hopefully I will find out what is going on. Hopefully it will not be anything major.

I am trying to keep myself busy this month. It will be a year since the miscarriage and my co-worker said it gets easier as time goes by, but the first few years are hard. I know Jason and I are talking aobut trying again, but hopefully it will not take forever. I would love to have a little one. Ever since I was young, that is all I have wanted. But hey, at least it is fun trying. Well, anyway, I will go for now. I am on call for work and am hoping it will stay quiet. I will be a bit late from work tomorrow as well. Comment if you wish. Bye for now!!

Well, it is almost 9pm. Things seemed like they went well. It was kind of nice to get some things set last night. I got one turkey done last night and did the other one this morning. It was a hectic day between today and yesterday.

Yesterday I did some prep work and we got the tables set up for today. Once things were done, then I cooked the 1st turkey. It only took about 4 hours since it was about 13lbs. I then waited for Jason to get home. He got home about 2:45am. I then talked with him for a bit and we went to bed. I then got up at 6am to prep the next turkey. I had it in the oven by 6:15am. Since it was 26 lbs, it was going to take some time.

I then kept an eye on the turkey, basting it when needed. It was then time to get a bath and get ready with the rest of the stuff. I was glad Jason helped me peel the potatos, otherwise I may have been there for quite some time. We finished up with the rest of the things and our guests started to arrive. Next thing you know, everyone is eating and then hanging out. The kids were playing, family was talking. I was able to slip away for a bit to get the dishes washed. It was nice to then sit and relax with everyone for a bit. I then made sure Jason was getting some sleep and then hung out with everyone.

While all of this was going on, I also made sure that our laundry got done, since I was off from work today. I wont have much to do for the weekend now. I have to work tomorrow, but it should hopefully be an ok day. I am just hoping Jason will be ok with his back and neck being sore. Hopefully he will be ok and then once work is over, he can come home and relax. I will have to pick up some more bread so we can have some leftover turkey sandwiches. It will hopefully be a good day and not too bad of a weekend.

Well, I will go for now. Hopefully everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. I hope to post more very soon. Until then, hope all is well.

Well, it has been quite some time since I have posted. Things are always so hectic. Work, family, house, etc. Trying to get things ready for Thanksgiving is also consuming some of my time. There are also basketball practices and games for both Jason Jr. and Janeen.

I kind of have been stressing out lately. I just start getting sad around these times. I know December is going to be a difficult month for me. I try to put up a good front, but sometimes I just shatter. Jason has been good to me in these times. Well, I hope everyone has a great holiday and hopefully I will be able to post to let everyone know how our Thanksgiving Day went.

I haven’t posted in a bit. Things are hectic as usual. The last week or so has been extremely stressful for me. I either want to scream my head off at someone or something, or want to burst into tears at any moment.

Work seems to be getting better and I am doing my best to keep ahead of my paperwork. Certain parts of work get me sad, but I deal with it. I just sometimes think that life can be so unfair to people. Anyway, we do not need to go into that in detail.

The kids have been making me want to scream lately. Between not wanting to do homework, getting into fights, and just general bickering, sometimes I just want to run up to my room and be by myself, but then I get through it with them¬†and all is well. I just don’t like getting to that breaking point.¬†

I have been thinking about life in general lately, and sometimes I wish I could be at a different point in life. I just would love to have a baby in my life, but as of this time, there is no baby yet. I look at my neice and just love how she is learning and growing. The things she comes off with are sweet. I just long for that, but as everyone tells me…”It will happen when the time is right.” I hope they are right because I am not getting any younger.

I have been reading old things and looking back at life. I just thought at the age I am now, I would have accomplished different things. Don’t get me wrong, I love the life I have now with Jason, Jr, & Janeen…..but sometimes I just get sad thinking that I don’t have my dream job yet, there is no baby¬†to hold.

I just get angry and envious of people who don’t live their lives well and get handed everything their hearts desire. I try to live a good life, and I just wish good things would start happening to me and my family.

Well, I will go for now….I just needed to write down some thoughts and get things off my chest so I don’t get to my breaking point. It is good to just let things out sometimes, other than holding things in and letting it eat away at you. I try to put up a brave front and not let anyone see my pain, but sometimes it is good to let others know how I am feeling. That way they can know why I may be upset or anxious. I know I need to get better with my communication skills, but so do alot of other people. That is what I strive to do….be able to talk openly and honestly with others and let them see my point of view and I will respect their point of view as well.

Anyway, I am off for now. Hope to write again soon and with happier thoughts. I just felt the need to write things down to get it out of my system. Until then…happy reading and comment away if you wish.
