TGIF

Thank goodnes its Friday!!!! We sure are glad the weekend is here. We have had a wonderful end to a week that started off bad for Michael going to school, he hasnt cried the past 2 days. Its always a pajama party with just our kids but tonight we have 2 extras, Hannah and Rebecca. Hannah is Makennas best friend down here in Georgia and Rebecca is one of Marlees best friends.
John finally has a day off. Its nice to actually have him home. Dont know what tomorrow will bring BUT as of right now we are planning on getting up early and taking the kids to ride the horse in the morning, before it gets to hot.
I havent had any luck so far this week finding a job. I called ECHS and got my high school transcript sent to me today. I am going to take the substitute teacher class and start subbing right away. I think this will be the best option for me because I can be here for the kids when they need me and when they have off from school I definately have off.
Thats it for tonight, I am tired and going to bed ;) Goodnight!!

A Better Day!!

So far today has started off to be a better day!!! The kids all quickly got our of bed this morning and got dressed for school. I dropped Michael off this morning and there were NO TEARS, he went right in his class today!!!! YAY!! I cant wait to pick him up this afternoon to see how his day went. After school yesterday, he and I went to "the Fish Bowl" and he picked out 4 fish for being such a big boy that day. He named all 4 of them, I only remember 1 of their names and that is CODY!!! I dont know why but for some reason that is his favorite name right now. Whenever they play or he names something it is always Cody.
Today is one of my nephews birthdays, Conner. He is my sister Macy's 2nd child. I love this little boy to death!! He is 3 years old today! Although he is as mean as the devil, he definately has a special place in Aunt Megs heart. I wish we could be there to celebrate his birthday with him, but maybe next year :(
We dont know for sure when we are going back to the island. Most definately when Mariah has her baby girl. I think she finds out next week what day exactly she will be having her. That will probably be the next time we visit. The girls want to have a Halloween party, they have already started planning it. Who they will invite, what they are going to do, what we will have to eat. A costume party sure sounds fun to me!!
We are so ready for fall weather to get here and stay here. It gets pretty hot here but not as bad as the island I guess because of the humidity. I think this weekend it is supposed to cool off some. Marlee is already talking about decorating for Christmas. She says she cant wait to decorate our new house and to put up a tree. The 2 little ones are excite that we have fireplace and that Santa will come in our house that way!

What am I doing?

I am sitting here thinking, I am on this computer enough so what am I doing on here?! Well, I dont know!!! Just to update anyone that doesnt know........ I got remarried on July 20 to one of the most wonderful men in the world, John. Together we have 5 kids, Lexi 14, Marlee 11, Makenna 10, Maleah 7 and Michael 4. Lexi started high school this year, Marlee started middle school, Makenna is in the 5th grade, Maleah is in 2nd and Michael started Pre-K just this past week. He doesnt like getting up so early to go, but every day when he gets in the car he has had so much fun that day and at that point cant wait to go back........... until the next morning. He was so cute today, I picked him up and he got in the car. I said to him, "buckle up buddy" to which he replied, "arent you gonna give me a hug and a kiss?" I love this little boy, he is definately a mama's boy!!
John is working nightshift right now, he is a correctional officer. I am currently a stay at home mom looking for a J O B!!!!! We are hoping to start our own business soon. Hopefully that will go well and things will be looking up for us.
This past weekend the kids and I took a trip up to NC and visited our family at "the island" One of my cousins got married and we were so glad that we got to be there for that. John had to work all weekend and we missed eachother soooo much, this was our first time being away from eachother, other than to go to work since May. Hopefully the next trip we make we will go together as a family, I cant stand to be that far away from him. According to him our plans are to move to "the island" in a couple of years. BUT we shall see..........

Just for those of you who dont know the picture at the top of this page is the Cape Lookout Lighthouse. This is where I spent most of my summer days for as long as I can remember.
