I'll bring you up to speed.

So here we are in July just a few days before my husbands 21st birthday. It was December the last time I posted anything so I just get everyone up to speed on what has been happening the last few months. We got our taxes back but not even close to the amount we would have needed to get everything we need, me and my husband still don't have a bed. The girls have everything they need and thats the important thing =] we'll get a bed eventually. Our phones were turned off and we cancelled our contract so we wouldn't owe them more and more money but they told us a few time oh if you just wait til next month it'll save you a ton of money because you wont have to pay the cancellation fees so we waited a couple months and then decided we had had enough of that, it was a few days into a new month when we cancelled so we had to pay that months entire bill now they want 1100 dollars from us and have sent us to collections they said they would wait 6 months but they didn't, we were with Alltel and our service suck major for like the last 4 months we had them on because they were switching to the at&t net work, that was a big waste of money (200 dollars a month for phones that didn't work). My husband did finally get a job though I think he was unemployed for two months, I would consider us lucky because a lot of other people go a lot longer with out being able to find a job. I really hope the economy starts doing better and that the government doesn't default on its bills. I don't know what we'd do if we didn't have food stamps and the health insurance for our girls and I know a lot of other families need this help to get by. I don't even want to think what it will be like if all those types of programs put up to help people disappear. We finally sold our old car we were asking eight and we got four, I think that is a complete rip of for A RUNNING CAR but we needed what ever we could get out of it we had lots of offers for just 200 dollars and we just couldn't take that little for it. Now we our so close to having enough money to open up my husbands business it has been hard but so worth it we are both completely excited to get it going another reason I hope the economy doesn't take another big hit. I think they can come to some agreement but I just don't know what kind of agreement so that is also scary. My littlest is about eight months and can sit up on her own now and I am so relieved I was worried for awhile because my oldest was sitting up by the time she was four months old and now she is almost two and being potty trained she seems to like it, and we are going to the zoo for her birthday again. My dad is helping us with the gas money as part of his present to her. We are trying to give our kids everything we didn't have, since I was never allowed to do anything ever I don't think it'll be hard really all we have to do is Love them with all our hearts which we do =] and we would be doing a better job then the people that raised me, even if they think they can make up for it now. I think we are gonna stop at two though, I think its a good number 1 their spoiled 3 theres the middle child syndrome and more than that the youngest seems to get a lot of the attention with two you got the first born and the baby, we thought about trying for a boy again but I just don't think I can be pregnant again. So right now we are all pretty happy and things seem to be going good to me that just means there has to be something just around the corner to wreck it all but my hubby says I need to stop think that way, an optimist and a pessimist I think we work well together I keep him focused and grounded as much as I can and he makes sure I don't sink to low. I can't believe we have been in each others lives for over 6 years now and I hope we are in each others lives for many many more. I Love You Darling!!

a little catch up

It's now January 9, 2011

Well my husband got offered a pretty good job in June, and all we had to do was move in three days for him to get it. We had just gotten our own place that month so we were a little hesitant but we needed the money. We decided to do it, that was a crazy three days. My hubby did most of the work since we found out in May that we were pregnant again =] My grandma said we could stay at her place til we found a place of our own. Unfortunately we didn't get the chance to find a place soon after we put an offer on a house in August he lost his job. Luckily our contract had an out if we couldn't get our funding and without a job that's pretty much impossible to do. So we moved back in with his mother that same month. Since he had no job he decided to start doing tattoos again to make a little money to get us by, he only charged for the supplies so once they were gone we couldn't order anymore so his mom loaned us some money for another order which we payed her back after he got a job at a fast food place in October. He was only getting like nine hours a week but at least now we could apply for low income apartments. We got approved and were moved in just before Halloween it was amazing. The day we singed our lease I almost cried, well okay I did a little. I really thought things were taking a turn for the good. We had an amazing Thanksgiving dinner at home we decided to just spend it together since our car broke down and couldn't get anywhere without someone else having to drive us.Then our review for food stamps came and I don't know what happened but we didn't get them for December. We went down to the office and handed in some more paperwork and hoped for the best. We had to borrow some money from his mom for food because my hubby was told he could no longer do tattoos until he had a place of business other then his mothers and he wasn't making much from the job he did have. All this moving and stress was really hard on me with the pregnancy I had allot of early contractions and we knew she would be here early but finally we had everything ready for her and she did. She was about two weeks early I held it off as long as I could so she would have every chance of being healthy and she was she was beautiful and we were all very happy that this delivery went better then my last one. We all made it back home safe and happy my oldest daughter loves her new little sister. Christmas turned out better than I had hopped I thought we would have nothing under the tree but my husbands mom loaned us some money we are going to pay her back when wehave the money, I don't know what we would do without her sometimes. My family would love to help and they do in every way they can but they don't really have money right now either. Now its January and my husband has been laid off. We handed in some more application but we were still looking for a second job he could work with no luck. There are some new places opening up, hopefully he can get on at one of those places. Til then I don't know what we are gonna do his mom can't pay her bills and our so I guess our phones will be turned off in a few days. Some good news, we got all our paperwork for food stamps turned in and reviewed and we still qualify but now I'll have more paperwork to fill out and turn in because he lost his job. I can't wait to get our taxes back cause we could really use them. I try to keep in mind that everything happens for a reason, and I know that if we stick together we can make it through anything.

My little girl has turned 1 =]

I'm writing this on August 20, 2010

Those of you who have read my previous blogs know that I had not yet decided to do daily entries. Well as soon as I had made up my mind to do so my life just became a little to cathodic to make time for it. In my last blog I said I would let you all know if my little girl went for the home made baby food and the answer to that would be no, she did not. We have now just decided she can just eat with us and forget about trying to make her eat things she doesn't want. Luckily her WIC will be changing soon to the big kid stuff since she turned 1 this month. We went to the zoo with the family and had a great time, I think she'll like it allot more when she gets a little older because for the most part she was just stuck in her stroller, I felt bad but it was just to hot to hold her the whole time. She had a chocolate, chocolate cake and loved it. She also got lots of toys but I think the one she got from mommy and daddy is her favorite, Shhh....
