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!!!!

Shower

Well the shower was a blast!!!! I had a lot of fun, and my pals did a great job at throwing it!!!! My Grandma even played the musical baby game, I was very proud of her, actually Chris's 90 year old Grandma played too!!!  I got a lot of really nice gifts! Now, if I could just get this little guy out of me:)

Supercalagragalistic.... YADA YADA YADA

I am excited I get to see Beck and Ashlee today.... They are coming for my Baby shower, Ashlee is going to stay the night with Heather and as she put it, we are going to "PARTY" ha ha:) I am a little nervous about my shower tomorrow, I hate being the center of attention..... and I am so dang emotional, what if I start crying over a cute onsie or something ( a genuine fear of mine) It will be fun I am sure:) I actually had a normal dream last night, I dreamed I had Ben, he was so cute and had a ton of dark hair, the best part was it didn't hurt:) Which I am sure is a fantasy:) But it was nice to dream something good instead of something that makes you ask, WTH...( Heck) 

We went to dinner at my Mom's last night, it is fun to watch the kids play with Mady, they are still at the age where they don't feel like it is a job to entertain a baby, Mady loves it! I think she thinks they are her "Toy's" She is saying words now, like Bye Bye, and Thank you and Hello!...  we love her so much!!!

Well I am off like a prom dress ( awful saying) to go and wash the car, well have someone else wash it as I have cankles now and look like the girl in Shallow Hal:(

Random

I am amazed at some random blogs that I have visited, some are really funny, some are braggy ( hey there blog, there rules) and some are are just well, there aren't words. I like the one I recently went to where a young woman is freshly in love, You are on a cloud, nothing he does annoys you, you constantly celebrate this new found love, I remember that feeling ( almost three years a go) Now as I walk through the door and see three days worth of dirty socks lying on the floor, It is hard to be on a cloud:) HA HA.. It could be that I am knocked up about ready to Pop though :) 

I was sleeping yesterday morning, a deep nice sleep..... when my cell phone rang, imagine my surprise to see that it was my kid's mother ( womb) calling at 7 a.m. I did not answer, then I heard hubby's cell phone ringing, he did not answer..... later when we all a rose from our beds, the kid's called her, she was calling so early to tell me to have the kids call her sister as it was her birthday..... NOT MY JOB!!!!!!! I think she has been to one to many square dances, Her new boyfriend excuse me fiance ( he isn't divorced from his other wife yet) is a piece of work as well..... she had her tubes tied at 24.. good thing, those two should not reproduce with each other:) 

My niece Mady is staying with us again, she took her first steps yesterday, it was sweet, I love her very much. Her own Mother hasn't tried to see her for over a month now..... My Mom should be going to court again soon to get full custody.... I hope it works out, we would be very sad without our Mady:)
