It's Finally Friday!
It's been so long since I have posted, so much has happened...
Halloween was a blast, Tanner was Flash Gordon, people mistook him for a Power Ranger - which I soon corrected them, being the know it all I am...but we wanted something different as we usually do, and his costume was perfect!
The week after Halloween I was put down to part time at my work - whole other story in itself. Let's just say the economy has hit hard. I have been in a slump since then and really depressed and worried. I am thankful to have a job and have been approved for unemployment to make up for the lost hours. I went back to work for Orkin in the mornings for CASH! SO, that is helping to pay the bills - well when they call for being due...again, another story in itself.
I am choosing to on a day to day basis to have good days - sometimes I lose it and just cry all day over nothing and other days I am a little upbeat. I know we have made it through worse and as long as we have each other (me, Scott and Tanner) we can and will make it through ANYTHING! - today is a good day if you were wondering! :-)
Oh and my co-worker is pregnant but waiting to tell everybody when she hits that 12 week mark, I am so happy for her and hope all goes well for her and the pregnancy. I brought the baby some french fries yesterday...SHE liked them, that's right I said she...that is my prediction anyway. Good Luck Kory and Grant with this whole new adventure that you have taken on!

I need to pass this on...I have not personally been affected by it, but have been affected by reading my fellow bloggers' stories and their heartbreaking losses. I feel as I know the "doodles" and every time I see a butterfly I make a wish for them, won't you?
http://bustedbabymaker.blogspot.com
October 15th is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day in the United States. More than 25,000 children are stillborn in the United States every year leaving mothers, entire families and communities devastated. Estimates of the rate of occurrence of stillbirth make it at least as common as autism.
Stillbirth is not an intractable problem. Greater research would likely significantly reduce its incidence, but good research requires good data. H.R. 5979: Stillbirth Awareness and Research Act is under consideration by Congress. This proposed bill would standardize stillbirth investigation and diagnosis, thus providing more data for the needed research. Better research means fewer children born still.
On October 15th, remember the thousands of unfinished children lost and the families who remain to grieve them. Honor them by taking action. Let's help pass H.R. 5979.
Action Steps:
Step 1. Use Your Blog to Enlist Others
-Copy the contents of this entire post and publish it on your blog immediately.
GOAL: Enlist 10 of your readers to spread the word
Step 2. Use Your E-mail to Enlist Others
-E-mail 5 bloggers and ask them (nicely and in an unspammy way) to publish these action steps on their blog. Consider contacting celebrity bloggers, political bloggers, medical bloggers, or bloggers who are not part of your reading community.
GOAL: Enlist 3 bloggers outside of your normal blog sphere to spread the word in other online communities.
Step 3. Help Pass the Stillbirth Awareness and Research Act
-By October 15th, publish a post on your blog supporting H.R. 5979 Stillbirth Awareness and Research Act. For maximum impact, title your post: "Stillbirth Awareness and Research Act."
GOAL: 1,000,000 Google results on October 15th when that term is searched for. Currently, Google only returns 20,400 pages - most of which have nothing to do with the bill.

Thursday...Blah
Hello!
Not much new here, still broke...just kidding, well maybe not - just trying to plug along.
I am so stressed out about the economy...will I have a job tomorrow? Was it a good move to come to my new job? Was I to sacrifice my well-being by staying at my old one? I hate when I start to question things. My husband often tells me that I should put it in God's hand - he never gives me more than I can handle. Well, not being raised with religion, this is kind of foreign to me. I know about God, but no to the extent as others on here. It does not make me feel uncomfortable, just I believe what I believe and that is=there is a God - I just don't take someone else's word for what he is capable of. I know he is a healer, I saw that with my son at 3 months old. I put my complete faith that God would heal him and he did! So, here is a snip-it from when Tanner got sick...
Let me start by saying this...Tanner and his cousin are joined at the hip...they love each other so much. She is 6 and he is 4. She is in school, but each day she is not with him she brings her homework and they do it together. I think he will be fine when he does go to Kindergarten next year...anyway - Tanner was life-flighted to Davis 4 days after being diagnosed with Meningitis (proper name and spelling of full name will come later) and was in ICU. My husband's dad came the next day and said that he knew that Tanner was going to be just fine...I kind of shrugged it off as I was sitting right next to him watching my baby suffer with tubes and IV's coming out of him...with an unsure of prognosis and what the future held.
Well Maddie being 2 at the time, woke up on that Sunday morning before church and while she was getting ready, said to my sister-in-law "Mom, Tanner is going to be just fine, - OKAY READY FOR CHILLS?????? - as she continues on..."Jesus came and sat on my bed last night and said the Tanner would be just fine and to not worry he would take care of everything." If you didn't believe in God before I bet you thought about it now....
I will leave you with that as I have tears in my eyes and all of those panic feelings are back...

Another blog in the same week, WTF?
I just wanted to say happy Friday and Happy end of September, I had a great Anniversary dinner with my husband and son last night. We went to Applebee's, fancy right? Well, fancy enough for us. It was cheap, quick and good! It does not take us much to be happy. The fact that we are all together is all that really matters.
So I finally downloaded the pictures from the wedding that has almost been a month ago already...still trying to figure this picture thing out, sorry they are before the post...

Pictures...
So here it goes, let's add some pictures...These are from a year ago at Tanner's 1st photo shoot. Isn't he cute?
Survived the Wedding/Mess!
We made it through the wedding! Tanner was the ring bearer and at the last minute did not want to hold the pillow but he was really occupied with holding the little flower girls hand. Too many things going on at last minute to worry about the small stuff so directed them to walk down the aisle. I was so proud. Just before he walked down, I told him he looked so handsome, he whispered in my ear - you look handsome too Momma...doesn't that just melt your heart? I will post pictures, once I figure out how to do it on here. He really did look great, along with my husband who's pants and shirt were too small. He grinned and beared it as we would say for sake of someone else's day. The weather was uncomfortable to say the least, HOT! I think it was 102, not sure...all outside, wedding and reception. It was hard to keep a smile on my face but I did and now it's O-V-E-R!
Not much new here, working/home, getting ready for the million Birthdays we have this month and parties for all of the kids...each weekend for the next 3-4 weeks are totally booked.

Hello-
So, first off, I am so sorry for posting a blog starter and then not updating, I get so mad when I look to my subscriptions and no one is updating. What is my excuse? None! Most of the blogs are pregnancy, moms, they are busy and need time too, I am just lazy lately I guess.
Not anything new here other than working, being a mom and wife. My husband is gone most of this week to our local "GOLD CUP" sprint cars racing. This is a yearly event that takes all of our time and money for him to be completely exhausted after 4-5 nights of attending, by Sunday morning he is EXHAUSTED!!!!! Fun right? Of course. When it's all over we start planning for the next year! Did I mention that on his day of rest for self induced stress we have a wedding to be in/attend? Tanner and Scott are in the wedding! The girl who is getting married on SUNDAY...just picked out the clothes they are to wear. Of course Tanner's suit is too big and Scott's pants are too small. He has not even tried on the shirt...This is so hard for me as I have been trying to get this girl to commit to attire for over 4 weeks. I like things prepared and organized and when they are not i freak out, it's who and what I am. She is stressing me out for her lack of anything (organization, ability to make decisions, lack of participation until the last minute) UGH!
Wow I feel better now...maybe all this is attributed to my "Week before, PMS"? I don't know, but let's just say...don't give me any firearms in the next few days. Maybe I need to exercise more-that might take my stress and kick it's butt.
Signing off for now, will post some pictures soon!

My first Blog...
My first post...
My new co-worker and I are obsessed, well maybe not obsessed with blog reader but "hooked" if you will. We read these touching stories and talk about them like we know each person. I feel as though I do. She started reading posts after her best friend started her own blog and posted all about their friendship. Upon sharing it with me, I cannot stop reading updates daily to find out what is going on.
I started my own blog to write down daily feelings and also to vent about things that sometimes maybe I cannot talk to anyone about but just need to let it all out.
So, I will try to post now and then. I hope to touch on all aspects of my life, like when my husband and I first met and all the great stories about my friends and family, but also to get out all of the surpressed feelings about when my son got sick and almost died at 3 months old. I truly have never been able to release these and each time I talk about it to someone break down in tears and am so thankful that he is still with us and all worked out OK. I have read on here that people feel like this is free therapy, well I LOVE free.
