Its been a month again since I have posted. Everything is going ok. I still feel like there is not enough time for anything. But the extra income is helping. The kids are great! Anakin finally had his 6 months check up sat. (yes it was 5 days away from him being 9 months) He weighs 20 pounds and is 28 inches long! Jade, Starla, and Piper are all doing great. They have gotton a little wild and I feel like I dont spend enough time with them since I have been working. Geez, 3 months in and you would think I would have accepted it and adjusted!
We are talking about breaking our lease when we get income tax, we like this place but the kids rooms are just tooo small! They have no room.
Friday I went shopping for Christmas with my mom, sister, my cousin and my Aunts. Can you believe with $450.00 I only managed to get 6 gifts a piece! I was expecting to get them sooo much more! Everything is so expensive! I think I am going to do a christmas club next year. But I got Jade and Starla both a gameboy micro for $35.00 a piece! Of course I got Anakin the Itsy Bitsy Spiderman! lol
I got Jade, Starla and Anakin new winter coats last week(Piper has 2 good ones, so I got her the little mermaid movie). I got Anakins from J.C. Pennys friday, it was a $45.00 coat, I got it for $19.00!!! I was very excited! lol
Well, Thats about all I can think of for now. I hope everyone is happy and enjoying life!

A Poem Written by Stephen
Once upon a time in 1997,
There was a moment where I died and went to heaven.
September 30 happened to be the day,
When all of my problems seemed to go away.
I was with a girl, we began to talk,
After awhile, we decided to walk.
Lonely was I, hoping she’d stay,
That she did, and took my breath away.
A kiss from nowhere we couldn’t understand,
But I kissed her again and took her hand.
We walked a bit further then kissed again,
It felt like something that would never end.
Months went by and our passion would grow,
I began to love her more than she would know.
That night on her birthday, I got down on one knee,
I looked up to her and asked, "Will you marry me?"
One month later in church I stand,
Watching her walk toward me, so elegant and grand.
My heart was racing, one hundred beats at least,
When she looked in my eyes, I was completely at peace.
Tears in her eyes, she was nervous too,
But it didn’t stop her from saying, "I do."
Newlyweds, a life so careless and free,
On September 15, we became a family of three.
As beautiful as an emerald stone, carefully made,
This was our first child. We named her Jade.
Even with change in our lives, we loved even more,
On November 8 of next year, we were a family of four.
Radiant in the sky so bright,
We named her Starla, a little ray of light.
Even though I pledged my love, my mind was young,
I did some things I should’ve known were wrong.
The girl left me, questioning our love,
I stood alone in the mess I wove.
Convincing her I’d change, everything I tried,
She wouldn’t listen. Many nights I cried.
I came to see my family one day,
All of us together again, I couldn’t stay.
The sight before me I couldn’t bear to see,
Knowing she might not even love me.
As I walked toward the door staring to cry,
She said she loved me and wiped the tears from my eyes.
Together again, our love was alive,
Before long, we became a family of five.
More independent and strong-willed as the others,
Her name was Piper. She looked like her mother.
Four girls in the house, was there no hope for me?
I didn’t worry. I waited patiently.
Our loves abound, the clock slowly ticks,
Two years later, we were a family of six.
Handsome and strong, I waited eight years since,
His name was Anakin, our little prince.
Our family was complete, our love still growing,
What was in our future, none of us knowing.
Nine years together, they have gone so fast,
Knowing true love, many said wouldn’t last.
There was a day when I died and went to heaven,
When I fell in love with a girl named Ellen.
There was a moment where I died and went to heaven.

Wish me luck!
Today will be my 1st day completely on my own at work. My lead will be out today, so I have to make sure everything runs right all by myself! I like it there but I have realized the last couple days how chaotic it is when it gets busy! Last night we got slammed at 4:00. We had 6 trucks show up at once. I have to be out there when they are loaded to let the lift drivers know what they are putting on and make sure nothing goes on the truck thats not supposed to, plus getting all the paper work done, and making sure the pallets are ready to go. I know anyone reading this won't know what I am talking about but today is a Tech Data day. Its our pickiest and most important company, we deal with them on Mon, Wed, and Fridays. So I already know I will have atleast 6-7 trucks today, when on regular days we usually have only 2.
Anyway, enough about work. I would like you all to know my sister is lucky I love her or I would seriously strangle her! She brought her boyfriends baby over to moms while she had a stomach bug, and told me she was not contagious when I asked. Guess what she WAS! Anakin has been sick since Tuesday, Starla has been sick since wed, Piper and Jade got it yesterday. So I went to bed at 10:30 last night, got up at 12:00 to help Piper go to the bathroom, 2:00 to clean up puke because ofcourse kids go straight to mommy when they wake up sick and not the bathroom, so I had to clean up my floor, bed, the toilet and Jade at 2 a.m., got back in bed at 3:00 was back up at 5:00 cleaning up Anakin, he was literally in a puddle of diarrhea! UGH! and YUCK! I have been up since, I have to be in to work by 8:00 this morning since Arletha will not be there, so today is going to be very interesting!
My poor mother is going to be here with 4 sickies so wish her luck too! I am glad she moved closer, it has helped us alot. I dont know what we would have done this week without her, a babysitter would not have kept kids this sick, but mom has not complained at all. She is also going to start coming up everyday to clean up for us for $25.00 a week, I know she really deserves more then that, but thats all we can afford right now and she is ok with it. My house has been a disaster since I have been working, I dont have the time or energy to keep it clean or even decent!
ok, I have to go get ready for work.

ok, I am really getting bad at keeping this updated!
I started working again September 5th, I REALLY miss being home all day with my babies, but in the last 3 weeks I have realized how much I missed working and being around adults! lol It has been a HUGE adjustment on all of us, especially Piper, she has been with me since she was born, she has never had a babysitter. Mom said she is fine in the morning but gets whinny towards the afternoon. Anakin has been doing good going to moms, I think he still notices though. Jade and Starla have not really been effected by it since they are in school all day. Plus they love getting to go to Nana's every afternoon! I think it will be a little easier when Stephen is not doing overtime anymore.
Starla broke her ankle at school on August 30th! A little boy on the playground jumped down and landed on her ankle! She walked on it for 2 hours!! Can you believe that?! She told her teacher when it happened that her knee hurt, so when she told her teacher it was her ankle, she didn't believe her! I went to the school Thursday after our Wednesday night trip to the ER, and talked to the teacher and principle! All I have to say is they should consider themselves lucky Stephen couldn't go down there! Starla went back for x-rays September 14, to see how it was healing. Dr. Rutherford said it is healing great! You couldn't really see they break anymore! She gets her cast off October 14th!
Jade turned 8 on September 15th! I cant believe she is growing up so fast! It seems like yesterday that I was 16 and had to tell mom I was pregnant! Where does the time go?? She had a great birthday! Stephen and I gave her a sewing machine, a Bratz bed set, a lamp and an alarm clock. She loved everything she got from us and from her party!
Anakin will be 7 months 1 week from today! He started crawling last week! He gets into EVERYTHING now!
We took the kid's to play put-put golf yesterday. They loved it! Piper finally started hitting her ball and then going to pick it up and set it next to the hole to hit it in! It took almost 3 hours to get through one course, so it was a little stressful towards the end, but it was fun. It was GREAT getting to spend the day together as a family!

Wow!
I didn't realize it has been so long since I have wrote on here! So, here is whats going on!
My surgery went well. I cam home Thursday. Dr. Morris did an excellent job! He didn't use staples or stitches, he used steri strips instead. and he cut about 2-3 inches below my belly button! It looks like it will heal really good. I was really surprised when I looked at it. I am feeling pretty good. Sore of course, but not what I was expecting! I even was able to come up the stairs Thursday night, so I didn't have to sleep in the recliner! I get tired pretty easy still, but hopefully that wont last to long.
Jade and Starla started Rock Springs the 10th. They had their first full day the 14th. They both really like their teachers and as far as I can tell its going to be a better school then Smyrna Elementary was.
Anakin has his check up on the 21st! I cant believe he is almost 6 months old! Time is just going by so fast! Piper is her usual self! lol I can't imagine where she got her sass from!

Surgery date
My surgery will be Aug. 17th. I will be at UMC. The doctor I went to for the 2nd opinion says he will have to cut from my belly button down too, but he was so much nicer. I was more comfortable with him. I may stay 1 night, but I may get to come home the same day. He said it depends on how I am doing, then he looked at the kids and said if I would rather stay 1 night he would let me. I really think that may be best, Piper is not going to understand that my stomch will be sore, but if Stephen can get friday off too, I may tell him I want to come home thursday.

Doctor
I went to see the surgeon yesterday. I don't know if I am goig to let him do it or find someone else. If he does it, he is going to cut from my belly button down instead of using the c-section scare. He said he can get to it better that way. The 1st time I had this they used the c-section scare! I DON'T want to be cut that way! Stephen thinks I should just go ahead and let him do it, but I dont know.

I'm not actually back yet...lol. They turned the phone on early so I signed up on MSN to get access till the 3rd! hehehe But since its dial up so I won't be online much!
The move went pretty good. My sister and her boyfriend loaded the Uhaul by themselves! And then still stayed to help unload it! We would have never gotton done if it wasnt for them! Jeannie yelled at me if I even thought of moving anything!
We got a 98 Dodge Caravan saturday! Its gren and has a great AC! The girls just found out about it today, they were at my IL's they went crazy! They couldnt believe it was ours! lol I am SO excited! It has a door on each side for the back seat! I wont have to climb over the seat to buckle Piper anymore! We had a scare with it today! I thought the starter had went out, so my brother came to pick up me and my sister from the old apartment, we had been over there cleaning, and he looked at it, tunked on the battery post with a hammer and it started right up!

Not much of an update
Not much new going on. We are still waiting to hear from the town homes, but I dont see why there would be a problem.
Anakin is still teething and fussy half the time! I can't wait for school to start back! Jade and Starla need to get out of the house and away from each other!! Piper has been her same ole self!
I go see the surgeon on the 28th, to find out when my surgery wil be. Not looking forward to it!
On a good note, the IRS check we have been waiting on will be here by friday, so I went ahead and ordered a better sewing machine! I am so excited I cant wait to get it!
I think thats all for now. I need to get off my butt and get packing!

Doctors appointment
I went to the doctors yesterday. I was right. I have an incisional hernia. The down side is my doctor doesn't do this surgery anymore! He has referred me to someone. They are supposed to call and give me an appointment today. So I still don't know when I'll have the surgery.
Its weird, I already knew what he was going to tell me, but I wanted to cry when he said it! UGH! This means I go back to 6 weeks of no lifting, pulling, or driving! I am going to ask the doctor to wait until after we move, so I can atleast get unpacked before I am not allowed to do anything!

We give up
I called the homeplace this morning and told them we have decided to wait. Its just taking to long. We still have no idea if we could get it or even an idea of how much. So we are going today to look at a place to rent. We have 10 days to be out of here, we just cant take the chance of not having a place to go.

July 14
You know its hard to think of a title for every post!We found out today we have to look at other options for land, so I am not sure where we are going or what we are trying for. We have decided against beech grove all together. I looked it up and there were to many around that area on the sex offenders registry. There was even one where his offence was against children! NO thank you! I would rather rent the rest of my life!
We are considering Manchester. I still have to look up info about it, but we found a nice piece of land for 8,000. We are still trying to stay pretty low with the land so that we can get the house we picked first and don't have to go to a smaller one.
On another note, I think I am going to start a separate blog for my sewing stuff. That way I don't over crowd this one with sew talk, plus that way if you don't want to know, you don't have to! lol :)

update
Mom came and got Starla yesterday for a couple days. Jade will go home with her when she brings Starla back, and then Piper. She keeps trying to get me let her take Anakin for a night but that's not happening.
Trying to pack some today, not getting very much done. When I get Jade and Starla settled, Anakin is fussing. I have gotton our closet and most of the computer desk done. When I cleaned out the closet, I found out the spots Emmy tore up are pretty bug, we will probably lose our deposit! Makes me sick to think we will lose $100.00 cause of a hamster!
Trying to pack, sew, worry about the house and where we are going to move, keeping up with this house and the kids is wearing me out! Plus, I have to go to the doctors Sat. Because I have another incisional hernia! Ugh! I hate the thought of being cut open again! I didn't mind the c-sections cause that was for my babies. You would think after having this problem once, I would have listened and not lifted, pushed, pulled or done anything I wasn't supposed to until it was time! But I guess moving furniture around when Anakin was only a couple of weeks old didn't help much! This does explain though why I am only 1 pound more then I was when I got pregnant with him and my clothes still don't fit the same!

We are not giving up on getting a house!
After finding out we couldnt get the house and the land in Rutherford County. Stephen and I decided to look outside the county. We also decided to go to another manufactured house lot becuase the guy we were working with seemed to be working just for the commission not for us! So, We went the other day and talked to the other place, they are SO much nicer! Ok, moms group, here is the part you guys wont like. If everything works out we will be leaving Rutherford County. Stephens parents are trying to get some land released from the bank, so we can put a house up there! I am hoping it really works out! We have wanted our own home for so long! And with not having to worry about the ocst of land, we can pretty much pick the house we want! We can make sure its big enough that we wont have to upgrade later!
The lot in Murfreesboro, is getting ready to move so they are marking all of thier homes down! They dont want to have to move them! They are also including all the furniture in them! Our favorite one has already been sold, but we can still get that once custom built! Mom said you can order furniture with it, thats how pop-pop got all the furniture in his!

Happy 4th of July!
Today was pretty good. We didn't have anything planned. We didn't buy fireworks this year because we couldn't shoot them off here, its a lease violation. So The girls and I sat on top of the van for about an hour and watched the fireworks people were shooting off on the streets around us. They loved it! They could not believe we were actually sitting on top of the van! They thought that was so cool! lol
Anakin has been rolling over all day! He actually had trouble taking a nap cause he would roll onto his belly and then get mad! lol Not much else happened today. I did make Jade and Piper each a play apron, I still have to do Starla's but didn't get hers done. They love them!
Stephen seen an advertisement for Bill Mahar (sp?) being in Nashville, and got so excited, so I went to look it up hoping I could get tickets and surprise him. Wrong! The show is this Saturday! Its the 1st ad we have seen for it! I thought it would be atleast a month away and I would have a chance to save up the money to get tickets! Anyway, Thats my gripe for today! lol
Hope everyone had a good 4th!

Jade and Starla have been pretty good. A little bit of fighting but not to bad.
I think thats it, I may add more later!
