FREAKING NEIGHBORS

I despise neighbors... Actually let me rephrase, I despise ignorant mean sneaky neighbors. I had a note on my door today that said in big letters PLEASE READ, and it was a mean letter about our dog ( actually my husbands dog) It asked us if our ears worked? Ya, so does my middle finger.. I know turn the other cheek, but come on.. just come over and talk to us, it also said they were going to get video proof of her barking... Big deal, from the looks of the letter I am not sure they can operate a video camera... dumb asses! I don't like the dog in question, she is old and smelly and probably should be put out of her misery.. But they could have come and talked to us, not threaten us... I have a feeling it is these not so friendly new neighbors across the street, but I am not sure. I wanted to go and ask them if they wrote it but I am afraid I will lose my temper, so I will just glare at them tomorrow ( yeah I have something to look forward too:) 

Some people are stupid! I bet they feel very important right now, I would like to egg there house, but I won't...... I don't think:)

Blah blah

Ben will be one month on Saturday, It  has gone by fast and slow, I don't know how to explain it, all of my days the last month have all run together, I have also been taking care of my niece Mady two nights a week, it goes pretty smooth until dinner time and then they both want fed, I am here a lone so it gets interesting to say the least. (Sigh) All in a day I guess. I miss Nick and Heather, I never thought I would say this, I miss Heathers little voice rambling on..............and on..............and on.................................. Heather has a voice kinda like Betty boop if she were to take a hit off of a helium balloon, it can grate a little, also she never stops talking, she even talks in her sleep :) Usually I tell her "I need five minutes" that means she has to be quiet for five minutes so I can regroup and prepare for the next round of questions and observations....  I really do miss it:) Nick sounds ready to come home... if I was a bad Mom I would let him have a big "I told you so" But I won't.... 

Ben looks to me like he is three months old, he is a big boy, maybe he will grow up to be a famous linebacker or something and make his lovely Mom and Dad rich:) I am sure he is well over ten pounds, I can't stop kissing him, he has the chubbiest cheeks that are great for Mommy kisses ( and Daddy too) He seems to like his bath the last couple of days, he lounges until we take him out of course, then.. well you know:) 

Texas, Ben and fat bottom girls :)

Well I am sad to report that my kiddo's are on there way to Texas for the summer, they changed their little minds and went..... There Mom seemed okay to me, a lot happier then in the past still crazy  though, but she seemed to pay attention to them and I hope she will try harder to get to know them. Chris and I prayed really hard abut it, and both came to the conclusion that she is their Mom and they had the right to go.... Sad.... I hope they have fun! :)

We are enjoying the newest addition to our family, I have probably taken over a hundred pictures of him:) I can't get enough kisses onto those chubby Little cheeks! And I feel great! I had a C section, I had a friend tell me " I am sorry you didn't get to experience labor" I'm NOT!!! I basically drove to the hospital and poof he was there 5 hours later:) I was sore for the first week, but now I feel great! I was under the care and watchful eye  for a while from C-dawg ( shout out to ya C-dawg) I am even going to start exercising this week, You would think I would dread that, but I had a really bad experience in my Doctors office that has lead me to want to get under my pregnancy weight before I go back to see him ( in three weeks) I over heard two "nurses" discussing my weight, in a not so nice way. Sigh..... So I have a goal:)  

Ben

Benjamin Cooper has arrived!!! Nine pounds 21 1/4 inches long and we love him so much!!!!

Crazy Mommy's

SIGH!!!! So much to write, well as of now the kiddo's are not going to Texas..... YEAH!!!! But there was a whole fiasco... Heather my five year old told her Mom she was sorry but she wouldn't be coming to Texas either, I really wish she would have let her father tell her, But I think Heather was feeling left out of all of the drama, so the proverbial Poo hit the fan, the Mom started crying on the phone and then hung up. ( way to suck it up for your kids right?) Then about an hour later she called back wanting to speak to Nick my 8 year old, she said in a not so nice voice to him.. "Why don't you want to come see me?" Nicks response was I want to stay here with my new baby brother, Then she says .. "YOU BROKE MY HEART TONIGHT" Nick had this look on his face like someone had just died, I asked him if he was ok, his response was "No!" then he began to sob, I took the phone from him and said to her( Which I normally stay out of it and let their Dad handle it, but he was at work) "Please don't say things like that to him, you have upset him" Nick crawled into my lap and sobbed.... If she had been standing in front of me, I think I might have punched her..... 

So she calls my husband and proceeds to insult me and say all kinds of intelligent things :) She told him to tell me to "But out" WOW!!! Chris and I were married on june 7th 2006, she dropped the kids off at our house on June 11th 2006, an I have been Mom ever since, should I have butted out then?  

Yesterday morning Chris gets this  e mail from her Fiance ( Mind you he is still married to his first wife, and Tanya moved in with him, when the poor wife still lived there) He is a guard at a jail in Texas, but some how thinks he is a lawyer, he stated that he had seen Tanya crying her eyes out and he couldn't stand by and watch that so he asked to see the parenting plan, basically he threatend Chris with knowing the law and such, HA HA... the parenting plan is null in void basically because she moved out of state, so Chris called him on it and told him to get in contact with our lawyer ( we don't have one:) We got a very humble e mail from the fiance a few hours later HA HA HA.... 

So now Tanya won't call the house because she hates me, so we have to have Chris have the kids call on his cell phone because she said she didn't want to take the chance of having to talk to me..... She is still coming to visit, but for only one day.... SHE IS going TO DRIVE FROM TEXAS TO COLORADO FOR ONE DAY!!!!!! 

What a mess, the great thing is, is that my kiddo's are safe from her, they are not aware of the whole mess going on, Nick seems relived that he is not going for sure, and I don't ever have to talk to her on the phone again! HA HA HA!!!! 

Thanks for the comments

Well thank you Crystal, I feel a little popular:) Thank you for your comments, tonight is family home evening and I think we will have a lesson on following the promptings of the spirit.. I like that one:) His sister doesn't want to go now, so I don't think they will be going, Yes they do need a relationship with their Mom, but that is their Moms responsibility, she calls for a few minutes a night and thinks that is all she has to do... she is a very damaged woman and I feel bad for her, but the damage has come from her bad decisions, honestly if anyone needs the gospel it is her, what a difference that would make for her, but she said once.. "I'm a baptist and I will die a Baptist" the funny thing is she didn't know what baptists actually believed in..... I don't think she is capable of thinking about anyone but herself, she comes first! Plain and simple, not a good situation for little ones. 

On to another subject, I think my uterus is on strike, it is not wanting to cooperate with me walking today! My unborn child is dancing on my bladder and to top it off I feel like I have morning sickness again! I am due in two weeks! My nose looks like Michael Jacksons original nose and my feet look like Bilbo Baggins!!!! If I exert myself in anyway I wind up breathing like some sort of female version of Darth Vader( HA HA, I LIKE THAT ONE) Oh the joys of pregnancy! 

Help

I have a problem, ( some of you may think... "You have a lot of problems") my son doesn't want want to go to Texas with his Mom..... he prayed about it and said he received the answer that he was supposed to stay here with us.... so Chris told his Mom that Nick did not want to go.. she handled it a lot better then I thought she would... so Nick was relieved... SOOOOO last night he changes his mind.. " I just can't decide" he says to me...... I reminded him of his answer to his prayer.... it was to no avail.... how do I handle this? I really don't want him to go.. I have a bad feeling every time I think about it!  Nick loves drama and attention, and I am sure that this is what this is all about.. but I DON"T WANT HIM TO GO!!!! HELP!!!!
