blog stalkers

Well I don't blog as much as I would like to, and I never really go on other's either. But as we all know most of have "Blog stalkers"! Now OUR main reason of having a blog is 1st!!! for us, a type of journal, since I failed miserably in the scrap booking department, then 2nd for others to know what's going on in our lives. But THROUGH MANY channels I have "heard" that some blog stalking has been going and have had some VERY negative things to say about me and my family and our choices so here is to clear a few things up. We are broke, we have no money, haven't had money ever really. Even growing up I grew up VERY poor. I learned how to bargain shop since I was Jake's age. When I went to the grocery store with my mom, she not only told me to look for the cheapest item but how to check ounces, and price, use coupons, add match ETC.. As I have ALWAYS done, I STILL and will continue doing so! I have not only been trying to teach my son but my Husband as well! That has been my biggest challenge! As for fun things to do with my family I use the same concept.. Take for instance the "HOT AIR BALLOON RIDE" 1st of all it was FREE!!! if you read it right you would notice it went up 25 ft! I EVEN talked about how I would like to go on a REAL ride but it's too expensive. Once again this is for ME and MY immediate family but since this stupid blog is causing us so much heart ache, i'm thinking of going private! NOT only was it a FREE event but I was there with Jesse WORKING the event!! MY OB's office threw a party to celebrate opening up a NEW office, they asked if people could come to this event and take pictures like Paparazzi and they would pay us, Jesse and I both took separate cameras, Jake and our friends daughter who has sat for Jake- By the way if you MUST know how we paid her when we went out I cut her hair in EXCHANGE! came too to play and do the other fun stuff that was FREE!! we DID NOT even pay AMBER. Her getting to come and do all the fun stuff was her payment. The Dr's had bouncers, food, music and a hot air balloon ride FOR FREE!!! Not that it's any one's business but there you go for all the FREE world to know, we don't spend money, we have 1 car, if we ever go anywhere it's to families that live out of town, and not that's it's ANYONE"S business but they help us out with gas money. In Return I do their Hair, Jesse helps with computers or taxes. We try to give back! We would NEVER just sit back and take something from somebody. I don't expect things from people! If ANYONE EVER helps us out along the way I am grateful, and I do what I can. Also Another VERY important lesson that I try to teach my family and I practice is not JUDGING. The Church is ALWAYS telling us to NEVER judge one another! You NEVER know what is going on behind closed doors! the scripture comes to mind. "Judge not less ye may be Judged"Maybe ask instead of judging and talking behind people's backs.

super random!!

SOOO Random
So most know jes has a weird schedule but it works and he's super great at what he does! He was called in this morning to cover his boss's shift which isn't new he ALWAYS gets called in! so yes my hubby has been at work since 9am and won't get off till midnight! he just texted me and told me he has a meeting on Mon at 11:30pm..that way they only have to do 1 meeting and it works for the guy that is blind too**which to me is JUST amazing him doing what he does with no sight** But I am SUPER thankful he is employed. we have been married for 7 years and I HONESTLY can't think how many jobs he's had since then! I'd have to REALLY think about it! I mean when I was pregnant with JJ he had 3 jobs! so if that gives you an idea.. Anyway after Jake goes to bed I usually stroll the Internet, read, watch t.v., I am USUALLY SO tired but today.. a little more energy! Maybe it's the new med's for my PCOS or insulin prob or endometrosis?.?.? WAIT it's all the exercise I do EVERYDAY and YET I Still loose NO WEIGHT**not bitter or anything!** NAH it was probably the caffeine tablet I took!
ANYWAYS**i had to tell about this show called the Exterminators or something. it's about a Southern family that runs a pest control company, but down South in Louisiana that's a WHOLE different life. people call him to get bats, crocs, snakes possums etc out of their house!! My step family is from Louisiana and I SWEAR you need a pass port to go down there! but anyways there is 2 brothers and one is married the other not-- mullet enough said--but he could be transformed..buisness upfront party in the back! there IS potential. well on this episode the meddling mother takes out an ad in the local newspaper for a date with his son!! the girls come and get interviewed by Mom Dad and bro, they take a picture and "resume" and narrow it down and the son picked which one he wanted SO this is so so weird right, well the step up is one of the girls that came was PREGNANT!! not like a little pregers no like anyday now she'll be having it pregnant!! I couldn't believe it! Yes you need to date too but WOW!! AND the family picked her! they narrowed it down to 5 girls and she was one of them!! the son who had the final say picked someone else, but he thought the pregnant chick was odd! and the date was a bust so he's still single. and the date is a haidresser so like me was having a FIELD DAY with his hair!! what a crazy world down there!

Slumber Party! and Mom GUSH!!

We all stayed up late having a "slumber party" we made a big bed down stairs, ate junk food, played Disney DVD pictionary, and watched Open Season 2*cute movie!* while we ate X-men was on TV and Jake is IN LOVE w/ wolverine so I made him a glove with his own swords coming out, and it was so cute cause he asked me to do his hair like wolverine! after it was done he was UBER excited! I was running around saying I'm wolverine and now I have his hair too!! when it was time to lie down and watch the movie he didn't want to in case it messed up his hair! i showed him it could be re fixed so all night Jes and I would look over and we'd see Jake Fluffing his hair!! even when he went to bed he was worried about his hair because he wanted to show it to his friends I babysit! it was fun he's so cute, my best friend and I love him to death!! even all his quirkiness! I wanted to write about his personality, such as ALL of his bedtime rituals they are to be done EVERY NIGHT and if we "forget" he OH SO reminds us jammies, talk about dreams, Vick's chest rub, stories, prayers, night light multiple ones! HE can remember things crazy memory skills songs, movie lines, story, or anything else you think is important. and he is detail orientated, like make sure i have this hair down in the front like wolverine! and he quotes movie lines just like your mommy and daddy!! and not just says it like has GREAT delivery!! And I like how you refer to aunt Karen's and Uncle Stan's house in Las Vegas Karen's World! and that you KNOW you are spoiled and who spoils you! You Love to travel, stay in hotels, visit family! 10-11 hours in the car NO problem lets go, do it now he'd say! one day Jesse and I talked about going w/ him on his 2nd job processing serving and it would mean ALL day in the car and Jes was worried about that, while we were talking weighing the pro's and con's of a 4 yr old and me in the car for 6-9 hrs Jake had gone packed a bag with toys, snacks, grabbed his pillow and the dog Bolt, changed into his jammies, got his dvd player and movies and came into our room and announced he was ready! all in like 5 min! he LOVES tv and movies! the idea of watching a movie, one time i told him I loved movies because you get to go on an adventure so he'll turn to me and say we're going to treasure planet or oh boy were going to the jungle! Jake also LOVES to get up and talk and sing in front of people! he wasn't feeling up to going to church the other day I tried to tell him all the great pluses, his friends, teachers, my game, nothing but then I remembered he had to say the pray**THE MICROPHONE??? Got dressed Immediately! LOVES IT. Jake and I are Jammie freaks! we live in them, you are either naked, in jammies, or a costume! and you don't like shorts you like long pants! You are sweet, the rule master, you LOVE your family, sweet and fun with mom, tough and gross with Dad! Amazing
