honey, i'm home!!!

wow. haven't been blogging much at all!
i just get so busy, and updating everything that's happened in the interim is a daunting task.

let's see....

got back from seeing my mama in TN. that was.....exhausting. see, she lived with us a few years back and she had to leave some stuff here. she got a big disability check (shhhh...it's on the hush hush) and asked if we would bring it back if she reimbursed us. so we did. i wanted to visit so many places, and people too; but we just didn't have time. we just went to forbidden caverns cuz bob has never been caving. we also went to bass pro shops, cuz he has never got to do that either. (i know, hideous grammar-sue me)

so that was fun. just a little side note-my mom's boyfriend is so super annoying and i'm glad we live states away. i know. they did ask us if we would consider moving down there, but there is no work for bob. and i want my kids here-by their grma and grpa winans and grma girton. they (we) have more family here.

but TN was beautiful, and i was a little homesick looking at it. i also drove past the house i lived in. it's so different looking, and the whole neighborhood looks rundown. it was a little sad. jama's house wasn't there anymore either. i only know cuz i went to see my aunt and uncle and they live close to there. that was also a little sad; we had written all kinda of stuff on her wooden fence, and in the empty house across the street. (gone)
i guess time marches on, eh??

subject change.
i think i have carpal tunnel. (sp?) my left hand, wrist, and arm hurt so badly. been bothering me for about a week now. think i'm gonna have to visit the dr. this is scary cuz i'm left handed, and grooming dogs i use that hand a LOT! so pls pray that i won't have to quit my job or be off a long time or have surgery; i just can't afford that. oh, speaking of afford, i do think we are going to declare chptr 13 bankruptcy. total bummer, but at this point idk what else to do. we are being sued by 2 diff. people, and this will stop suits, garnishments etc. and i am a firm believer of u do what u gotta do, and screw anyone who looks down on you for it.

my kids are good. josh has a cough still, but nothing major. knock on wood. he has 2 more dentist apts. to go to. he had 2 teeth pulled and spacers put in. i guess he wasn't brushing as well as i thought. makes no sense, cuz that kid brushes constantly. dentist told me i had to start doing it cuz he wasn't doing a good job and that led to the decay.
they all made great grades; josh reads at 3rd grade level (he's in first) and kae's reading was off the charts and the;y put her in an advanced group. gabby did ok- first d ever while living with us. we were not happy!!! (btw her mom is a huge pain in the ass still) lara got all a's and b's.

well, think that's about it. i'll try to be better about updating, but u know how it is!

right now i am digging born again by third day with lacey from flyleaf. give it a listen sometime.
later gator.
