Ipod touch for the big girl!

Our baby turned seven today so many things run thru my head. first is she's the baby and i cant believe she's that old already it was just yesterday i was laying on that table nasty cold OR awaiting my fourth girl the one that evened the score so to speak. her full name Zoey Elizabeth perfect i know, but i cant take credit for the name my husband Dave picked the name out looking at books then starring at the ceiling and me thinking this man lost his mind.... then he said Zoey starts with a Z and its the last letter of the alphabet and our last baby....... SUPER GULP AND A DOUBLE DOSE OF SNIFF SNIFF!!! We decided she was to be our last. She is one amazing girl a super cuddle bug a mama's girl and her big sister Jenna's whole world. she also gets along with her brothers and sisters. for her birthday she wanted cosmos restaurant awesome food also on the menu homemade birthday cake and cupcakes. she said no bakery kind homemade only. love her to pieces! I once told Zoey please don't grow up stay mama's baby and her response was but mama that's what us babies do grow we cant stop growing. so beautiful and smart all in one might i add awesome package! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZOEY ELIZABETH MAMA LOVES YOU WITH ALL MY HEART.

Were you ever out shopping at the mall and just enjoying your family and laughing and all of a sudden you see a nightmare walking down the isle no well you should be smiling and thanking your lucky stars!!!! I noticed this nightmare of a couple with their teenage daughter and four little ones the woman was yanking and pulling on this kids arm and yelling stop it do you hear me well...... lady i think the whole mall heard you!  these people we met when we moved into our little one and a half bedroom trailer we were just starting out no money and a baby girl this couple we seen tonight just brought back all those memories the good the bad and the ugly. my husband has just been walking around the house going wow that was so long ago boy have we been together for a longtime so funny 25 years doesn't feel so long but when its said its like wow that is a longtime! we told the kids about them and how crazy they were they laughed so hard it was actually a good time. we also picked up our family Christmas ornament. well that's all for now.

Hello! Did you miss me come on don't be shy i know you did!! well this will be one of many blog post some long and some short and sweet. I turned 42 today unreal how time flies. I made a huge gulp promise to my self to exercise daily no matter what kind of crap is going on in our lives. you know its been awhile when the kids beg you to go for a walk they miss it!! we are starting to decorate for Christmas its bitter sweet because i know my babies are getting older and soon some may very well fly the coop!! so the next post will be a combo of our family trip to Hershey for Christmas plus my weight loss goal and daily exercise...... wish me luck!!! oh and what ever else life throws at me!!

Much love crazy mama

~~FEELINGS~~

Yup folks it's how I'm feeling lately! It's August tomorrow already so I've done some school shopping I got a lot of good deals on supplies Walmart of course!! Still in a crappy mood but for my kids sake I don't show it we take our daily walk we get lunch or do chuck e cheese also went to the movies to see brave such a cute movie. The husband and I could use some prayers for sure.... Would love to just run away from it all and never return. I know it's not normal or right to just want to get away like that I will get out of this soon I hope! On an upside of life my three littles are taking karate they love it. I took away soda I know bad mama we eat clean almost always and move a lot more. Hoping everything goes good with our rental and we can put it up for sale within the next month or so we are so not meant to be landlords at all. Then it will be our next thing to purchase a Carolina home then sell this beauty we are in now! If it is still a plan we share together. Will keep you posted!

Much love, crazy mama

Crazy life

Well it's been a crazy ride in life for the past four months.... I would really love to get off but the ride attended keeps spinning this crazy ride! I also stopped trying to plan life as for some reason it just doesn't work out the way I had planned. My husband and I sit and talk about moving to Carolina hopes and dreams are all up in the air until August that's when he may be able to get away.... Not sure if it's in his plans anymore to move but, he sure knows how to drag my dreams out. Kids are getting so big too fast my baby will be seven in December also in school full time so do not know what to do with myself at all. I find it hard to think about... Don't want to think about it it seems easy to most folks oh you can do anything go anywhere but it's not fun when your alone. We have been keeping our minds sharp with schooling in the summer kids are doing great!! We also are eating healthier and walking alot. Kids are also loving that! Well that's all for now mind doesn't want to work at all.


Much love, crazy mama

We have been eating some what clean I can feel the difference in myself control of wanting to spiral out of control and smashing my face into a bag of tootsie rolls or Hershey kisses!! I can you know without blinking an eye! So far I've lost five pounds not much but that's fine by me I feel amazing I walk everyday at least a mile I also do a DVD three times a week. The weight doesn't bother me but a certain number did my blood pressure it was so high we were all scared well I'm over joyed to say my blood pressure is in the norm for the first time in about three or more years!!! I have so much more energy now it's awesome to be able to keep up with my littles when we are playing around of kickball or soccer loving life!!!

~~ Hurting Heart ~~

My zoey is star of the week at school!! I'm so happy for her so as she colored her poster and picked her five things that are special to her my daughter Jenna looked thru pictures on the computer and then it hit me....... that's when I notice they are growing oh so super fast and before you know it they will be gone and on their own. What will I do with my self. :( I'm at a loss already and they are still here. Time just won't stop ticking, so I'm determined to do better be better and love on them until they scream!!! Can anyone explain to me why they grow so darn fast? I'm always screaming yelling and gripping about something and of course it's I'm crazy Not the fact that the boys couldn't pick up their dirty clothes if I paid them or the Little's leaving those darn Lego's out for mama to step on. well I'm setting a goal not to yell scream or freak out as my kids say about the little things in life. I will enjoy my babies for as long as they will let me. I have a lot of fun plans for my babies. Vacation time can not come fast enough it will be a little test of different areas to see what's pleasing to the eye. We need this change. well that's enough of my crying woe is me.

Testing from my phone

Hello world are you there?!!

~~ EPIC FAIL ~~

Well just when I thought it was going great!!! I lose control of my big fat trap.......one kid with a  how should I say this hmmm a smart ass side to him gives an attitude and he knows that pushes my buttons which then of course all other children fall right in the smart ass line and boom and mom has lost her mind!!! So maybe we can do this all over again until I get this mama gig right!!


Much love Crazy mama
