I haven't blog in so long. I have been so busy. I really like blogging too, just have kind of forgotten about it. Days are so long now, and my husband works alot of overtime, so I have not been on the computer alot except to check email or my space and of course at work. I will try to start back because I do really enjoy it. I love just getting all my thoughts out of my head. Even if no one reads it; it is kinda of like a diary. I love getting comments though ("Thanks Melody, your comment brought me back over here")

OK, to update you on life:

My friend is on her fourth treatment of chemo, and despite losing her hair, she is doing great.

Weight Watchers - haven't followed at all. Plan to get back on right away though. The plan is too get pregnant by the end of the year and I would like to lose about 20 pounds before.

Daisy (my mini dach) she is wild and rules the roost. She has gotten so big. Will post pics soon.

My son leaves for camp next week. First time he has ever been; a whole week I won't get to see or talk to him. I am nervous for him, but he is gonna have a blast.



Well, that is about it. I am going to bed now!



Blog ya later!!

Can't Keep Up!

Okay, so I know I haven't blog in a while, but I just can't keep up. I have a My Space page and this, plus checking emails all day. And I have just discovered Weight Watchers Message Board. My husband and I are starting Weight Watchers (WW) this week. Wish us luck!
My friend with breast cancer found out Friday that she will have to chemo, four months of it, for 3 hours every two weeks. Hopefully she can schedule so we can still make our Beach trip.
Okay hopefully the day and week will get a little more exciting and I will have better posts.
Blog ya later!

It's Friday!!

Thank goodness it is Friday.
I am so happy, my husband has been gone to Gulfport working since last Saturday and he is home. This was the longest we have been apart ever. I know sounds corny, hey, we are still classified as newlyweds; we just got married in July.
Blog more later!!

I haven't blog in quite a while. I have had so much going on. My best friend found out she has breast cancer. She is 32 years old. We are about 6 weeks apart in age and have been friends since the 8th grade. She had surgery on Wed, May 2 and everything is okay. She had a mastectomy on her left breast and will have reconstructive surgery on both. She is doing great.
My husband has been working out of town alot. He was working in Texas last weekend and is in Gulfport, MS this weekend. So me and Daisie are alone this Sat nite. My son is at his dad's this weekend.
Finally got my wireless working on my laptop. This has been a pretty boring Saturday. Went to Target and Walmart. And came home and clean up the house, laundry, etc.
Since I last posted Daisie has gotten so big. She will be 11 weeks old tomorrow. And she is so spoiled; I can't leave the room with out her following me. Still working on the house training.
I miss blogging, I miss doing the "Tackle it Tuesday" challenge from www.5minutesformom.com, I may try to get going again this week.
I finally got my son to cut his hair, it was getting really long. So he decided to cut it short in the back and leave the front long. Looks so much better. Now if we can just get him through the 7th grade, we will being doing great. Only a few more weeks. May 18th is their last day. And then we leave for Orange Beach June 14th. I can't wait. Hopefully, everything goes as planned with my friend and she can still go.
Okay, well, I better go to bed so I can get up for church tomorrow. Hope I can get back in the habit of blogging again, I miss it.

Venting!

I just would love to know how people do it today. Live, I mean. How do people afford to buy a house, have two or more cars, and then the everyday expenses of life: groceries, insurance (auto and health), etc. And still have money to go to the mall, or out to eat, etc.

I have just decided to get new health insurance b/c my company does not cover it for employees and I will be paying $ 300 a month just for myself with maternity. And our bills are already so scattered and hard to keep up with as it is. I feel ashamed when I look back at our checkbook and have to ask where does all our money go?

We have two cars, with insurance on both, house with insurance and taxes to pay on it, everyday expenses plus our necessary bills to keep a house up. Plus I have a 13 year old, and me and my husband both have tobacco habits. I just don't understand how people do it.
We would like to buy a new house within the next year, and have a baby, but I seriously do not know how we will make it. I know, God will not give us more than we can handle, but I don 't know how we can handle much more.

It seems like every time we feel like we are getting ahead, or we feel like okay we have some extra let's go buy "whatever", and then afterwards something happens to make you feel guilty that you bought this item. Just like my furniture, which we desperately needed. We bought a new dresser for our bedroom and a shelf to put the TV on. Mind you, this was Wal Mart furniture bought! And now I have to take on this new Health insurance note every month; I find myself thinking, I shouldn't have bought that furniture. And I feel guilty, like I splurged or something.
Any advice would be appreciated, or just to hear that someone else out there is in the same boat as us.
