*Hardest Part Of Life*

Hello, it's been a long while. New update of life. I am still pregnant with this bouncy baby boy, Leiland Nash. I am just about 33 weeks along, so not too much longer. THANK GOD! This has been a super long pregnancy because I have been in sooo much pain.
Braylon will be 3 in less than a month. Hopefully the terrible twos leave directly on his birthday as fast as they came along! We have been getting a little better, up until today. Haha.. He has been a little hellion today!
Christopher has been doing REALLY good in school! He has a 100% in Spelling. He is just like his mommy. =) He is doing very good in Math as well. The bad part is, is that he is completely opposite from the past school years. He is being good at school, but not so good at home. It was completely the other way around! Weird kid. Lol Overall, I am very proud of him!
Jesse and mine's anniversary was Friday. We have been together 4 years, married 2 years. The best 4 years of my life I must add. =) We went out to Jillian's for a fancy little dinner. It was amazing! We had no kids all night which was really nice. Although we were still in bed by 11. Haha ... We have gotten so old. But, it was nice to have alone time to just relax and enjoy each other's company. Saturday we pretty much finished cleaning out my aunt's house. We have just a little more to do, but it is sooo much cleaner now!
On a different, not so happy note, we had court the 4th for the adoption of Christopher. His bio-dad (sperm donor) ended up showing up. He got out of prison on the 18th of last month. Yee frickin haw! So, since he showed up to the court, we have to go to trial. I don't understand why he is making us go through all of this. He hasn't seen or talked to Christopher since he was 2 1/2, he is now 6!! That's almost 4 years! He has never paid child support or anything. Even though we are going to court, it doesn't change any of the facts that he has had absolutely no contact with him in 2 consecutive years. But, I am still worried just because I am a mommy and that's what we do, worry! I hope the judge sees past all his lies. And just because he created Christopher, doesn't make him his dad. My husband has been supporting him over half of his life! My husband is the only person in the world that Christopher knows as his dad. He doesn't even remember any of that family. I ended up having to delete my Facebook accounts because apparently I can't trust anybody! This dude that I have been friends with for a very long time was letting Christopher's sperm donor look at my Facebook and has been hanging out with the piece of crap since he's been out of prison. It's really bad when you think you have friends and they turn around and do horrible things like that. I guess he condoned of him abusing me and abandoning Christopher. Isn't he just the winner? I really needed to vent today and I no long have a Facebook account for the time being, so I guess I will put everything here. =) Well, I am gonna go! bye!!

*Busy*

So, it has been awhile, again! Everything has been pretty hectic around our house! I have been in school Monday-Wednesday nights, husband works for 10+ hours a day, kids have activities, etc. I am super exhausted! But, I have to do it because I want to keep kids busy and help them interact with other kids. We went and signed Christopher up for Boy Scouts last night. He is a Tiger Cub. It's so exciting! It wasn't fun though... Braylon was a terror! He wouldn't sit and just kept running around. On top of that, they had the A/C turned down so Jesse and I were sweating to death! Lol Now, it is a little funny, but then it wasn't! We got the lawyer paid and petitions filed for adoption of Christopher last Friday. I am so ready for all of that to be over with so we can all move on with our lives! I am not sure if I put in the last posts if we had decided on the baby's name? But, we decided on Leiland Nash! I am sooo anxious for him to be here! =) I will be 27 weeks along tomorrow! Just a little over 10 weeks to go. He is so active, I love it. I just recently got a UTI that my Dr. forgot to call and tell me that I had. I was pretty mad! I was in SO much pain! Luckily I am doing better now that I took all the antibiotics. But, the past 3 weeks sucked! So far we are liking our new house. Although, we are having issues with the landlord showing up unannounced driving by all the time. I don't know what she thinks she is going to find? We did talk about bringing our dog here, but it's going to cost $100 extra a month, so we have to wait til October. I think she thinks we are going to bring him here anyway. But, if I was going to do that, I would've just done it anyways and not said anything to her. But, I guess that's just her way of showing she doesn't trust us! But, anyways! I am gonna go. Ttyl! <3

* New House *

We have now been living in our house for 2 weeks and 2 days. I will just begin to say that it is AMAZING! I have not been this relieved and happy in quite some time. When we first moved in our A/C wasn't working... That really sucked! But, the bad part is that it was still cooler in here than it was in the house we were living in and we at least had one window air. How crazy is that? I have been keeping up with the house because I am not so hot and exhausted. The kids finally have an area to play in. Overall, I am just happy!
On a different note, Braylon will now only sleep with us! He falls asleep on the living room floor and if we try to put him in his own bed, he instantly knows. We have been trying everything. I guess it is better then him getting up and roaming around in the middle of the night. He is sleeping on our floor which is better then in bed with us.
Christopher is officially enrolled and set up for 1st grade! It's so crazy that my baby is 6! He now has grades and attendance. We went and seen who is teacher was yesterday. He said, "Is she a mean teacher?" I was like, "I hope not!" Lol kids crack me up! We go for his open house on Thursday to make sure he is all signed up and good to go and so we can see his classroom and meet his new teacher. I have my fingers crossed and I have been praying hard that this year will be better then the last and that he will get along better at this school.
I started school last night! Needless to say, I ended up bawling when I left... I am super disappointed in myself for not finishing regular high school when I know I wouldn't of had a problem doing so. I guess I will just have to swallow all that disappointment and just keep on going. I can't wait til it is all over though. The class was only suppose to be 3 nights, but apparently someone got confused. I go for like a whole semester. I didn't score very well on my math test... That really sucked!
Well, anyways I am gonna go and finish eating my breakfast before my youngest wakes up! Bye! <3

* Been Awhile *

Well, it's been a few since the last time I wrote. We got a house a few minutes from where we already live. I am so excited to move out of this house! I have the whole house to pack still, but kids never let me have the time to do so. We started a new routine with the kids and it's seems to be working, slowly, but it's working. The only part that is still not working is Braylon not wanting to go to bed until 11 PM and waking at 7 AM .. I am sooo exhausted! I can only imagine how my husband is feeling since he has been working 10 hours a day in this yucky heat! And this weekend, we have to make sure the whole house is packed. It's never ending. But, after we get moved in and everything settled, I am sure things will change. At least we'll have A/C, that might help with my youngest not going to sleep. 

I got Christopher enrolled yesterday. I am actually dreading him going to school. Last year was NOT a good school year. I really don't want to go through all the things we went through last year. I have been praying that things will be better this year. I feel that if the teachers and other helpers spent as much time with my son as they do calling me and having me come to the school, things would be going better. He is going to a different school that is licensed to handle behavioral problems. We will see how it goes. I know he hasn't been doing very good here at home. I really hope that changes! Well, I suppose I am going to go! Bye!

When I get home, You're so dead

* Let Down *

So, we didn't get that house in Nickerson. The deal that happened with that is, Saturday we got approved for another house. But, I really wanted the house in Nickerson. So, I called the Landlords for that house and asked if I could just come give them the deposit and get that house. They said, "Sure meet me at such and such place." So I did. I called when I got there and told them I was sitting out front. The lady came out and I started walking up and she told me to hold on while she went in to get her husband. Then they came back out and I walked back up there. They said, "We had a misunderstanding. We thought you were the lady that had looked at it first. She has first pick. If she doesn't show up on Monday then it's yours." So, I called the landlord to the other house and was honest with her. She said she would hold the house for us until Monday to find out if we got the other one. So, I called this morning and they rented out the house in Nickerson. I am so upset. But, at least we're getting out of this 1 bedroom finally. We go tonight to sign the contract and pay 1st months rent and deposit. My grandma is helping us out and I can't even express how thankful I am for her. I don't know what I would do without her. She helps us out SO much. But, we always give her 2-3 grand of our income tax. That way she knows we appreciate it and we are at least trying to pay her back. I am very upset about this whole ordeal. I prayed and prayed about the houses. I know God put us where we are suppose to be. I trust in him because he can foresee things that I can't. But I am still a little sad because I really wanted to live by my grandma. It's ok though, I am use to not getting what I want. But, at least now we can get the nursery done before baby gets here and there is so much space! And we are going to have a really big back yard that I will probably never leave. =) Well, I am going to go because my youngest wants to color on everything besides paper. Lol Bye! <3
