Okay seriously I am so stressed I want to cry. In the last 4 months we have had well issues, car repairs, and now my septic tank has been flooding my basement all weekend. I seriously am just so done. This is unbelievable. It is around $500 to have someone come pump our tank... It all adds up to be thousands of dollars we didn't have in the first place. We put my car repair on the credit card and I justpaid it off. Okay I'm done b1tching but seriously. Other than that our weekend was okay. We carved pumpkins and stuff, they came out pretty good.
Janette- I am so sorry! vent away, lord knows I do!!!!! And ewww on the septic flooding the basement....
Speaking of venting..... Now about a year ago I was soo fed up with my dad and everytime he did something it would hurt, I would cry, be angry and move on... I finally got to a point of forgivness and I give it to God and I have been doing well. He still never shows up for stuff but I let it go. After all his life is not bothered by my anger, and it is he who is missing out not me or my kids. We have my mom and my ILs so we are doing pretty good... But yesterday I read this on facebook between my dad and her....
Never mind it wont let me copy and paste so basically she says I feel like my dad cares more about his new family than me. To wich he replies, we get you phones pay your phone bills your being disrepectful and rude, and that she is a grown women who needs to care for herself.. She then goes on to apologize and call herself dumb.. All I say is your not dumb... others agree, yada yada yada then my dad says this! (short version) We did this and this with your phone cause you married a hobit you broke it, why does that hobit not care for you, you chose to marry that pedifile, when you want nice things in life look to him and ask why you dont have them....
I went off the handle this morning, wtf!!!! i could not even believe he wrote that. This is why I never attack my dad cause he is horrible and says and does horrible things. I just want to scream, the freaking state has called her disabled... She is not normal, she does not have the sence to shower herself everyday, with out the man she married she would still be on drugs... Who is he, or I or anyone to say what her happyness should be. No he is not perfect and frankly i dont like her husband but he gave her what she wanted, normal.... her normal, a husband, a home, a since of belonging, wich is more than my dad has done for her in YEARS!!! Whoopdefreakingdooo that my dad pays her phone bill.... Wow lets all bow down to him and his awsomness.... GRRRR I AM SOOO PISSED right now I can barley think!!!! The nurve. And frankly I have a hard time with his new family the girls that are yong that my dad takes everywhere fun and does fun things. I am 30 years old and I dont need him to do those things but I never had the dad these girls are getting. But he will never see that.....
Okay sorry. Besides that we had a decent weekend. We met at a resteraunt/bar for drinks with my new complay wich was a blast, they even invited us to the xmas party, so I am stoked about that. I giggled cause Gregg was my wife in the corner as I was chatting with my coworkers he was in the corner with the kids :P Then Saterday he went to play paintball and chilled around the house with the kiddos. Literally chillded :) I kept cleaning then needing to reclean, once I was finally almost done Natalia wanted to bake cookes, and not the ones from the freezer, LOL. So fresh baked chocolate chip cookies it was :) And another round of cleaning the kitchen, LOL. Then that night we went out to celebrate a friend turning 30.. It was okay, her and I dont share any friends so I did not know anyone but it was cool to get out. Sunday was church and more laying around. I ran a couple errands and that was about it :)
Have a wonderful day ladies!

Janette, I'm so sorry about your septic tank! I hope after this, you've got no more house/car issues for a long long time!
Christina, that is BS! I'd be fired up, too! I would fly off the handle if I read that! Its to the point where you should just not let him be a part of your life. Like you said, its HIS loss! Your girls are the best thing that he will never get to be a part of!
Our weekend was fun! Thursday was the field trip and fall festival. We just had one mini meltdown in the beginning of the field trip and lil T was a breeze after that. And he had the time of his life at the fall festival. Friday it was a inservice day to the county so he didn't have school. We laid low and hung out at home. We were both tired from Thursday. Saturday we had our zombie party. Lil T was such a punk! He just was right back to his normal self, it made me so angry. We had fun, despite the attitude. I'm glad its over though. Sunday DH had off so there was a lot of tension. I needed to run to the mall and to old navy to get lil t some warm clothes since today is only 65. I had 4 pairs of size 6 jeans and they dont even snap shut, so I returned them and got size 8s. They're long but they fit. He also got a lime green sweater so he is happy. lol
This morning was 50 degrees and I am loving it!!! Its such a nice change, and it wont last more than a few days so I want to enjoy it! I need to clean my house but I can do it with the windows open!!! Woohoo!
I think tomorrow I get to start volunteering in his class, I'm pretty excited!
Janette- I'm so sorry about the septic, ugh, what a pain! And really, like you guys needed one more thing to go wrong, right? Fingers crossed this is the last of it... glad the rest of your weekend was fun!
Christina- Oh my gosh, I would have been so pissed too... vent away, and you have every right to be mad... like Krista said, he doesn't deserve you guys in his life... it's his loss... Glad you had fun out with the girls though, alawys a nice night out!
Krista- man, I'd be so happy with 65! It snowed a little yesterday morning... and it was quite chilly for trick or treat... but, that's what we get this time of year. Glad the zombie party was such a blast, despite Lil T's attitude! Have fun in his class!
I'm doing well... been MIA again, I'm sorry! :) I was in Atlanta for a conference for work a few days last week... DH was there for 2 of the 3 nights, so that was nice.. then I got one night to myself to rest up... got home Saturday evening, then we had trick or treat with my SIL and niece on Sunday (ours is Wednesday night).
Had my first OB appt last week... I LOVE her... I was a little nervous, getting a new doctor, but she's awesome... I'd heard only great things about her, and she totally lived up to the hype. We still haven't made it "FB official" yet... I've got a few more friends I want to tell in person, so I think within the next week or so we'll announce it... (Plus I'll be about 12 or 12 1/2 weeks, so I'll feel better about it). Q's been telling everyone and anyone... so keeping her quiet around people who shouldn't know is interesting. :) They did an ultrasound to determine my due date, so it's May 16. (I should note, 1 day after an event I'm in charge of planning... oops!) Still feeling sort of sick... it's not an every day thing anymore, but I'm definitely more careful about what I eat, so I can anticipage it a bit.
K, back to work for now... I'll try to be better at getting on! :)
Krista- YAY for the fun feild trip despite the minimeltdown. Your outfits looked great for the zombie party, did you do it at your hgouse. I guess I just remember reading anything about it! Are you and DH okay? You said there was a lot of tension......
Kristin- Gregg's cousin is having a baby and she is due on April 27th!!! You all are sort of close, LMBO. I am glad you like your new OB. LOL on keeping Quinn quiet. I guess Natalia was not super excited so she never told a sole, hahaha. I think the one time she said something before we started was at school when another kid was talking about becomming a big sister and she told her class, and then her teacher asked me. Other than that nothing :)
Thanks ladies, I know I am right but I just feel guilty about the thought of removing him from my kids.... He has not hurt them... IDK.. We will see, LOL!

Christina- sorry your dad is such a PITA. it is so dumb to have to deal with all of that as an adult. My dads new wife has been wanting Blayse to come do some yard work, and I can't trust him (my dad) to not get high around my kid. S yeah I haven't said he can't see them but I think supervised visits are all their will ever be. It sucks when our parents are children. Yay for some time out even if you didn't really know anyone.
Krista- glad the field trip and harvest party went well even with a mini meltdown. The Zombie party looked like fun. LOL on pants, Dagon can wear a 6 but 8 would be gigantic on him. I Just stick with sweats at this age. Seem to fit longer. Is DH still working close?
Kristin- I am so glad you like you OB. It is so important. I mean you will have quite the relationship OB the next few months. Glad you are mostly not nauseous. :) cool dh got to spend some time in Atlanta with you did you get to do anything fun, or just work?
Well I got the horrendous mess cleaned up yesterday. I have never used so many paper towels in my life. Today we did school and we are going to make a Halloween dinner, since on Halloween night we won't have any time. So the kids are looking forward to that, honestly I would prefer a nap, lol. Just. Ot feeling festive this year.
Janette- I seen your yummy dinner on facebook, sooo fun :) My dad askes me once when Natalia was going to spend the night..... Um never, LMBO!!!!!
Wow yesterday was a day, cook dinner, clean up, go to dance class, while Natalia is there, go to the grocery store and get stuff to make pumpkin meat pies for halloween party, get home from dance class, start making meat pies (took me 90+ minutes to do) inbetween get kiddos ready for bed. Plus when we got home our pumpkins had rotted :( Natalia was sooo sad so on DH's way home he searched for some. found two so he got home around 745 then around 840 he started carving pumpkins. I went to bed late, he went to bed later... Aliya was restelss all night, The cat was locked in her room at one point then one cat through up three times (YAY DH cleaned that mess) so I am burnt and its only 730am, LOL. But stocked for tonight :) love taking Natalia out cand cant wait to see what Aliya does :)
Have a safe and wonderful halloween :)

Christina- some days are just crazy that is for sure. It's no wonder sometimes moms just flip into survival mode and do all that needs done, sigh...and thanks dinner was fun, but surprisingly time consuming with all my "help"
So we are debating on doing typical trick or treat we usually do or trick or treat street earlier. I just hope dh gets home at a reasonable hour. so we can do something. He said to just take the kids if he is late, BOO.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween! It was a busy busy day here, and of course when I EXPECT lil T to behave, he does exactly opposite. Sigh. I should be used to it but I was pretty embarrassed at his school. Anyways....
I went to school with him in the morning and set up all the games and goodies. The kiddos had a blast and ate all the snacks we brought in. I was surprised with the amount of goodies other parents brought in but was equally suprised (and angered) by the parents that came to the party and then didn't lift a finger. Out of 19 kids in the class, I think 14 Moms showed up (which is great!) but only 4 moms asked me if I needed any help. And the ones that didn't help had their siblings at the party (I am not against that at all, but keep them in line, ya know?) and they all ran wild. And only I stayed after and helped clean up. Still, the kids had fun and thats what counts. I had fun too, I REALLY love this stuff. Well y'all know that : ) The costume parade was cute too, lil T HATES costumes so he was SUPER well behaved when they walked the school. They took their costumes off for the party so thats when the beast came out. I was thiiiiis close to not taking him trick or treating, but I forced him to lay down in his bed and he actually fell asleep for about 30 minutes. He woke up calm and apologetic, so we went. He was on his best behavior, but didn't wear his ninja turtle costume. I did not force him this year due to all the issues and testing and possible results of the testing (more on that in a minute) so he was a zombie. And you would not believe how many looks we got of disapproval from the people handing out candy because he wasn't in a costume. Some even said something. I wanted SO badly to say something mean, but instead I replied "he's 4". Made me sad. We met up with a boy in lil T's class and that was fun. After about an hour we had enough, so we were getting ready to leave when DH called me and asked if I'd run to the bank, take out some money and drop it at his work (thank god he's only 35 minutes away!) so lil T and I took a trip to his work. No one is allowed on property at power plants, so I always feel extra special when I can go. Lil T LOVES seeing all the lights and towers and smoke so he was on board. Turns out a man in his union passed away so they were taking a collection for his family. When DH was in the hospital last year, they came up with over $2000 for us, so we give money every time. DH was actually REALLY nice to lil T (I told him about the possible results of his testing) and didn't pick on him, and lil T shared some of his halloween candy with him. It was only 5 minutes but it was nice. Got home a LOT later than we planned, so we checked out the loot, showered, ate a snack (not candy lol) and he went to bed after 10pm. Oh well. It happens, right?
He woke up in an extra good mood and even said "mommy, let me hold the door open for you" as we were leaving for school, so I'm thinking he should go to bed late every night? :) I get to volunteer today at 1:15 and I brought his teachers coffee this morning, so hopefully it is a GOOD day!!!!!
Ok, on to the possible results. His testing is still at the county so nothing is official, but his school thinks he has a high functioning form of Asperger's. They said that Auditory Processing would have made sense but when you factor in all his fears (that are escalating) and quirks and poor motor skills, his sensitivity to loud noise, his akward social skills, they feel its Aspergers. I, of course, have always wondered if he was on the spectrum, as he used to flap his arms when he was a lot younger, as well as other things (I'm not judging or assuming, its just a mother's instinct) but to hear his teacher tell me upset me SO much. I cried and I'm still in shock. Of course its a "pity party" kind of cry and shock, I want to get him whatever help he needs, but still. I'm pretty upset. Nothing is official yet. It may take until JANUARY to get the official paperwork from the county, but we need to get it back as quickly as possible because Kindergarten is 25 kids to ONE teacher and no assistant. He will get eaten alive/and or/fall through the cracks because he needs that one on one attention to get worksheets/projects done. And all they do is worksheets. All. Day. Long. Add in his behavioral issues, they will just send him to the office. Its possible that if he can get the help he needs, he can be provided with his own assistant that will go to class with him. Again, nothing is official, his teachers are trying to move quickly A: because he 'graduates' in January, and B: the likelyness of getting the help he needs AFTER he turns 5 is HIGHLY unlikely because no one will have the time to help him. There is also a chance this could ALL be behavioral and he can grow out of it. With that being said, he is leaving school in January and wont be back until August. 8 months off will just bring him right back to where we were at the beginning of THIS year and he wont get any help in kindergarten. I'm struggling, but of course I'll fight for whatever he needs. DH hasnt really said much, but he never does, so....he WAS really nice to him last night though, and since he knows that I'm upset by this, thats what I needed to see.
Ok, I gotta run. I have 2 hours to get some cleaning done befor volunteer time!
Krista- Have you thought about putting him in a preschool/daycare setting? Then at least he would stay in a classroom and stay used to it... Maybe just 1/2 day? Maybe that will help the 8 months off. I hope you get your answers so if he does have it than he can get the help he needs. Its sad to think he would fall through the cracks. They diagnosed my sister with learning disabilities and ADHD when she was in 1st grade but it worked out for her well. I think if she was going through that now she would be diagnosed with asburgers as well (sorry I know I spelt that wrong) But she is not even as high functioning as Little T now as 24! Wichever he has I hope he gets what he needs to work through it!!!! {HUGS} for you mamma!!!
Our halloween was epic. We had soooo much fun. Trunk or treating at the ILS church, even Aliya was into it. Then on to much church for more trunk or treating.... Then they had SOOOOOO much to do inside, more than all the other years combined! The larges bouncy house i have ever seen, two others, crafts, tons of games, pony rides, hay rides, family photos, food, a jail, just a crazyness amount of fun and it was all FREE!!! It was a fantasitic community event :) Natlaia said it was the best halloween ever and I agree. On the way home we were all beat but Natalia seen some other kids out going door to door and wanted to go. So DH dropped us off at the end of the street and I took her out. Hit about 10 houses and went hom. Got everyone in bed with lights out around 9pm (wich is like your 10 Krista) but I let the kids sleep in this morning and came into work late! Soooo fun!!!!
Janette- I hope DH made it home and you were able to go out toegther. Loved the kiddos costumes, Blaze a super suave james bond :)
