I have the life some people hate, I have the life some people want. Either way, it's my life and I live it.

*Sigh*
So.. tomorrow is supposed to be my weigh in day. I am not feeling so excited to do so. I feel like a failure already.. I didn't workout or watch what I ate on the 31st and have fallen off my plan since then :( I no longer have any energy like I did and I hate it when I do this.. I can't even handle a week! Idk what to do.. this is where I feel like I'm going to be stuck like this forever.. so much for a NYR for 2013.. ugh. What I want to do is hire a personal trainer to help me but that's way too expensive so maybe when income taxes come in I will get to the gym and get a trainer then.. I will continue to drink my water and try to watch what I eat, but I'm bummed today so until then...

DAY 3&4 NYR
So I took yesterday "off" as in for working out, well I had planned to anyway.. I did end up walking on the treadmill for 30 minutes. I woke up so sore it hurt to walk yesterday! Still pretty sore today but I gotta work out. I didn't eat so great yesterday but I still drank my water and got a walk in and I know I wasn't supposed to check the scale until thursday but I cheated! I won't say what my numbers are just yet but this new "lifestyle" is working!!! I'd say most of it is water weight right now but that's ok too! I'm gonna walk the treadmill today then get back to the hard workout tomorrow, I'm hoping my calves will feel better tomorrow so it won't hurt so much to work out! Lol

Day 2 NYR
It's amazing what one day of doing the "right stuff" will do for you. I stuck to my plans yesterday and did very well. I also got my 64oz of water in plus some! 90oz is what I drank yesterday! Normally, on a typical day I wake up swollen and feeling groggy and just out of energy. This morning, I was NOT swollen, and felt really good! See, when your body does not get the water it needs, it retains it! Making some swollen, therefore that is why I'm always swollen. My body is holding fluids, but since I drank so much water yesterday, it was able to let go of alot! Drinking a lot also helps the body rid of waste and toxins, it cleanses your system! Anyways, I got up and did half of my workout this morning, and I will finish it later today, my little boy isn't feeling well. I still got a great workout in though and worked up a sweat! I can't wait til next Thursday when I can weigh in and see what progress I have made, I will also take new pics! I will eventually post them, but I am ashamed of them right now :( Well, that is all for now! Until tomorrow...

New Years Resolution
Someone every year makes their self a new years resolution that consists of getting healthier, losing weight, and becoming a better person. Well, I am one of those people, I always make a resolution that consists of losing weight and never stick to it! So I'm stuck making the same resolution the next year and this turns into a viscious cycle! Well NO MORE! I'm sick of being fat and unhealthy! I WILL do something about it this year or it WILL be the death of me..and I'm not joking. Earlier this year I went to the doctor and was told I had high cholesterol, I'm too young for that. I am 25, married with 2 kids and don't have time to be unhealthy. I don't want my next doctors visit to say Im diabetic or something worse so I'm going to fix this here and now and I'm going to do it on my own terms, my own determination, my own will power. I am 100lbs over weight and that sounds so overwhelming. So I've decided to start small, make small goals at and do this in increments of 5-10 lbs at a time. I'm still going to eat what I want, but I am doing it in a controlled manner. I will make better decisions about what I eat, use proportion sizes, drink lots of water and add in some exercise. Now, I'm 100 lbs overweight according to the doctor's chart. If I weighed 100 lbs less then I do now, I would be skin and bones and that's not what I want. I can stand to lose 90 though and look good at this weight. I'm embarrassed of my weight and what I look like in pictures, but I will go ahead and say that I am 216lbs as of this morning. The last time I weighed that I was 9 months pregnant with my daughter and she is 5. I have been gaining a lot of weight here recently and fast and I'm not sure why so I'm going to start this new lifestyle today and if for some reason it's not working I will go to the doctor and find out why. Until then I'm going to do my part and see what happens.
With all that said, I woke up this morning and ate something bad :(, then I got online and started looking around at ways to lose weight. EXERCISE..is the only way this is going to work. I worked out for 7.5 minutes and was wore out! But felt better already.. so a few minutes later I got on my treadmill and walked/jogged for another 10 minutes. That is more then I have done in a long time and it took everything I had just to do that. But, I noticed a difference first thing after I did that. I am shooting for 64 oz of water a day and a minimum of 20 minutes of exercise (to start) a day for 3 days. Now remember, this is just to start. I'm out of shape and it takes some training for the body to get where it needs to be. After about 2 weeks, I will up my workout rountine time and add in some more exercises. I photographed myself this morning, but I'm not going to post those right now..when I get more comfortable I will do that.
So.. starting weight is 216, weight loss goal is 90lbs..BUT i'm shooting for 10 right now. Once I get to 10, I will add 10 more and so on. I will weigh in once a week and post results. For anyone who is following, feel free to comment with tips, or your own goals! The more motivation for each of us the better... and when someone is doing it with you, it makes it so much easier! Good luck to myself and any followers! :)

Life Updated...?
So I haven't written in a looooong time. Since the last post I have been busier then ever, we are busy trying to "make something of ourselves" lol. we as in my husband and I. He took a new job out of state (I hated it), making better money then he has in a long time, well it got us out of gov't housing, which has been wonderful. I felt like a prisoner there. Anyways, after we moved, we decided we didn't like the house we moved into..and the landlord, well let's just sayin in nice words, he doesn't know how to be one. So after some rude people, husband being away too long, and family emergencies, my husband came home and found a job here making MORE money then he was while he was out of state..so it's nice to have him home. Anyways, I was browsing craigslist for a new dog..when I came across Ginger, a sweet Beagle/lab mix (whom I extremely allergic to) ...this is Ginger :)
CALLED US!! He said he had a proposition for us and that if we were interested in the house to come look at it and he would talk to us about it. So we were like ok, maybe he can work with us..I prayed while getting ready to head over there...we checked out the house, inside and out and it was everything we are always looking and talking about having in a house one day..he dropped 100 dollars off the rent amount! I was thrilled! So..here we are a week away from moving in to a place I have been looking for, for so long! So yeah, this is our life, a little updated. Less poor, "richer" physically and in Jesus! Without, we would not be where we are today.
On a different note, I'm almost done with school! WOoooo, December is completion month and I am beyond ready to get done and start working..ooh how could I forget, I want you to meet BUBBLES, my sweet sweet baby...

Diet Update
So today is day 4 on my 17 day diet. Today was rough. Although I've lost 4lbs, I cheated today. I just wanted something good today. So I've probably gained back what I lost. :( I'm not going to weigh again until day 7. Idk what's wrong with me today..just didn't want to obey my diet. Lol. Anyways, I'm going to get back on track tomorrow. I have to do this, I have to prove to myself I can do this. 12 lbs a month is all I need. It's getting late so I'm cutting this short. Will update again soon.

Well hello!
Dang, it's been a long time since I've written..Guess that's what happens when you have a hectic life. Wow, so anyways, let's just cut to the chase..been going to school full-time..watching my kiddies, and doing homework the other times. My son Levi just had his 2nd birthday..where does the time go?! Kaydence will be 5 the 16th of March and I can't believe its been that long..they aren't babies anymore. :( I was dealing with alot of stuff the last time I wrote and I am definately in a better place since then. I got rid of a lot of people in my life that were causing me more harm then good. Made some awesome new friends and enjoying life right now. I also have picked up some in my "photography business." I am definately enjoying that. I hope that since spring and summer is just around the corner, I will gain a few new clients. I absolutely love taking pictures..I just can't believe it's taken me so long to realize it. After I graduate (this year!!!) I plan to take some photography classes just for a little more experience and tips. I do pretty good as a rookie though..haven't had any complaints so far so thats a good sign.
Different note: I just ordered the book "The 17 Day Diet" I will keep updated on the progress of that once it gets here. I'm excited to start it and hopefully shed some pounds before summer. I'd love to get back into my favorite bathing suit one day. :) Anyways, got a lot going on this month of February..some photo shoots coming up, birthday party for my kids and then going to a cabin with some friends the end of the month..So excited about that! Well, that's all for now. Until then..

doctor, bills, life.
So it's been a really long time since I have written....I have some catching up to do I guess. Life continued to get worse after I wrote, but I think the Lord was trying to make me humble. The worse I protested and pitched a fit, the harder things got. I finally figured out what the problem was and although things seem to still be tough, they are not as bad and I have managed to handle it better. We got a new car, which added another bill but we plan to pay it off at tax time. Bills will be bills..they will always be there so there's not much I can do about that..no sense in complaining.
For the past month now my son has been sick. It started out as a cold. Then came the fever..but this wasn't just any fever, it went from nothing to 105. I'm sorry but if you ask me that is just way too high for anyone, let alone a 1 yr old. The doctor told me I shouldn't worry about it too much. I think the doctor got his license from a cracker jack box. DONT TELL ME NOT TO WORRY about my child. Especially with a fever like that. Anyways, the first time we took him to the er at childrens..they told us that he had an ear infection and that one of his (ear) tubes were missing..then they put him on antibiotics. Well a couple days later we took him to his ear doctor who told us he DID NOT have an ear infection and both his tubes were in place. Yes, it pissed me off. They think we dont know or wont find out if he really had an ear infection but since he does have tubes obviously he sees an ear doctor and we will find out..dumb people. So his fever went down for a few days then on the 8th day, it came back hard. 105.3. We took him back to the er...the dr said and I quote, after all the tests that were run everything looked fine so he says "I don't know what to do"...THAT IS YOUR JOB..you are supposed to make my child feel better and figure out what is wrong so you can fix it....obviously something is going on ..i dont care what the tests say, do more or soemthing..bring in a specialist..I'm not going home with my kid being that sick. And I told the doctors this so they admitted him to make "me" feel better...again i say dumb people..he ended up with a horrible rash..to make a long story short, the one nurse we had was on our side..doc tried to send him home..but he wouldnt eat or drink so he stayed, got fluids. Come to find out the meds they were giving him to make him better were making him worse..he is allergic to the antibiotics ..
For now, Levi is home, fever free, and covered in itchy hives.. :( but he is doing a little better (other then the hives). Well , i'm getting myself worked up and mad at the doctors..enough for now.

:)
Wow, I hadn't realized how long it's been since I wrote last..my apologies. Anyways, It has been a rough few weeks in my life lately. But as always, we have made it through. The Lord has been good to us. Our car broke down and we weren't able to fix it...searching and praying for something for two weeks and the Lord answered our prayers just in time. We got a new car this past Friday, it's a 96 Chevy Lumina and I love it! I start school tonight and now I have a way to get there! Now after all the money we put into our old car to try and fix it and getting this new car..we are broke again..DHS is behind and our food money did not come in today like it was supposed to. :( We have an empy kitchen at the moment so now I'm going to pray our money comes in soon. I'm not gonna worry too much, we should get them in a few days but I have to figure out how I'm going to feed my kids now. Sheesh, I'm really tired of being so poor. If there was only some way of coming across a nice chunk of money, oh how nice that would be. Oh well. Well anyways, I'm thankful for things I do have and my neighbors have been so much help here lately, I'm so grateful to know them. :)

He Listens..
Ok, I've complained and griped and whined along with lots of praying, the complaining did me absolutely nothing. I was talking to a friend because she always tells me what I need to hear, even if she don't say it to me, it's almost as I was meant to hear it anyways. So I chilled out and listened. She explained to me because I needed to hear it again, how awesome our God is...and boy is he..so I spent my morning worshipping him. Well he may have heard me, we found a van for sale on craigslist a few days ago and I emailed them...they never replied or called us back. Then this afternoon after all that praying I did, they called my husband while he was at work. This may be a good sign. As I need a vehicle asap, its a good price that we can afford and big enough to tote around my kids. :) I'm feeling really good today. I'm not gonna get my hopes up about the van just yet but I'm leaving all the worry in the Lord's hands and hoping this is the vehicle for us!! What an awesome God we have! :)

Not patiently being patient
Well, here we are again..still no car..can't get it fixed yet. I'm trying so hard to be patient and wait for the Lord to send us some help..I've prayed and prayed..and prayed some more. I know he is never late it's just really hard right now because I have a doctors appointment coming up, school starts oct 3..and I have no way to either. I NEED a car. How do I make myself be so patient for something I'm in need of so much? I'm only human, worrying is what I do best, as that's an insult to the Lord, I asked for his forgiveness. I'm in a dilemma..it's either save the money to fix the car or sale it and make payments on a new one..I'd really rather just fix the car but where do I get the money to do that? UUUUuUUUgh. I don't know what to do. This is causing so much tension between me and jamie its ridiculous. Idk what I'm expecting him to do about it cuz he cant do any more then I can but wait. Pray, and wait. So I guess that's what I'm going to continue to do.

Suds in the..Car?!
So it's been a rough few weeks lately..and the past few days I haven't even had the time to write. Now I've decided to change my attitude about a few things here lately. I'm the type that when so much goes on at once, I tend to have a breakdown and start crying..but there has been things I don't have a lot of control over here lately and If I have a breakdown, it'll only make things worse. So with that said I've decided to write all my problems down here and be on my knees at night giving them to the Lord to handle..He doesn't give us more then we can take on but like a friend of mine said yesterday to me "Sometimes I wish he wouldn't trust us so much."
James went to see his neurologist yesterday, he said as he studdered his words out (wondering if we shouldn't go see someone else) that James might be having mini strokes so they are running more tests later. They did one in the office and it came out good. Also yesterday, I had a hair party at my house, had a few friends over. Went from a good day to a horrible evening, apparently some "he said, he said" not he said she said, was going on and that started so much drama, some people don't know how to let things go in one ear and out the other so that started a fight..got it taken care of though. Well the next morning we get up to take Kaydence to school and the after we leave the school. Our car breaks down, to make a longer story short..someone put dish soap in our radiator. I'm pissed, not only did that mess up our only family vehicle..it messed up MY vehicle..we don't have the money to take our car to the shop, we dont have the money to buy a new one, we don't have the money...period. I drive kaydence back and forth to school in that car..myself to school and back, drs. appts..all of it..now until i get the money to fix it I have to rely on other people to get me where i need to be. I don't like relying on other people, people are not reliable. Enough said.
So I started writing this blog this morning, after I said I wouldnt have a breakdown. I stopped writing to take Kaydence to school..well I lied.. I had a breakdown...In the parking lot..and all because I couldn't get the stupid door of the truck I was driving to close. A person can only handle so much but when you add your vehicle and 2 kids to the mix it only makes things that much worse. I'm going to stop writing now, before I have another breakdown just thinking about stuff. I do have to say, I waited a lot longer to fall this time then I usually do. Things are improving from that prospective.
One more thing, Clinton is having a lot of break-ins, robberies, and vandalisms going on lately..be sure to stay safe and lock your doors. A few of my neighbors were robbed as well, the same time someone messed with my car. A purse and all of it's inside belongings and a tool box full of tools.

Too young to be getting old.
Very sleepy this morning...Went to pick up my neighbor from work last night at 11:30. Came home and went to bed. At 2am this morning I wasnt sure if I was dreaming or not. My husband always kisses me goodbye before he goes to work. Well I guess it woke me up. I rolled over to my daughter laying practically underneath me and I looked at the clock and it said 2:03am. I was like ok, where is Jamie?? I get up to see if he was in the living room and he wasnt, checked the bathroom, no sign of him. I stepped outside and his truck was gone, I was like what the heck, where would he have gone in the middle of the night?? So I called him and he didn't answer the first time, called again and he answered. I said where the heck are you?? He said I'm heading to work, my friend didn't show up to get me so I went ahead and left. I said that's because its 2 IN THE MORNING! He said is it really? I'm like what's going on with you? Get home. He comes home and said I wasn't looking at the first numbers of the clock. I said well maybe you should next time. Come to bed. Idk if he was dreaming or confused or what. I hope that it has nothing to do with his head because he is way too young to be doing crazy things like that. He is supposed to be going to see a neurologist anways but seriously. Anyways, because of that I didn't get up in time to take Kaydence to school today so she is home, playing mario on the wii. Levi is being a cranky butt and i don't know why. It's too early for all this. I'm gonna have to take me a nap today I guess. Got a headache and today feels so wierd. Not sure why. My internal clock is messed up or something idk.
You know when you have that wierd feeling like either you're forgetting something or forgetting to do something or something is about to happen? Well that's what I'm feeling today. It's strange. Anyways, I'm gonna try to figure out if I was supposed to be doing something this morning lol.

9/11
Well I can't believe its been ten years since 9/11 happened. I was 14 that day, getting ready for school because I was living in Nevada at the time and they are 3 hours behind..Anyways, I saw what was going on but had no clue what it meant. Told my dad about it and he started freaking out..When I got to school I quickly learned what was happening and got so scared. I was away from my family here in TN and wanted to go home so bad. The class I was in was chaotic at the time. The teacher I had left because she had family working in one of the building. To this day I still don't know if they lived or not. I will be praying for all the lost and families left behind to grieve.
On a different note, I'm going to have to have surgery soon. I have a ganglion cyst on my right wrist and it's growing. Causing my whole arm to hurt. I think its cutting off circulation, I'm not sure all I know is it hurts so bad. I've had this thing since highschool. Its way past time to get it out. Anyways, I'm having a really good day today other then that. Oh and with the exception of what happened this morning. If you don't read my facebook account, I embarrassed myself. I was in the shower and had the radio on and heard someone pounding on my door. I grabbed a towel and answered the door, it was a cop looking for someone. To make a long story short, the towel slipped and I gave the poor guy an eye full. Lol. oh well.
So my really good friend is coming over today with her family, were making ribs and having sunday lunch. Well, hope everyone has a good day today! Happy Sunday!

Well
Well, today was a little better than yesterday. I had some errands to run so I got out of the house, even if it was the kids, I got out..I've been so moody lately but I'm pretty sure I know why. I will be calling the doctor for a visit after my husband gets paid. Unfortunately my dr. is almost an hour from where I live due to they were the only ones that would take my insurance at the time. The Lord really helped us out yesterday. My husband is a craigslist fanatic and found someone that was looking for something we had. So we sold it and made a little bit from that. Which means I can take Kaydence to school next week and she wont be kicked out of the program. :). I know he works everything out for us I just need to learn to be more patient I guess. Everything is on his time not mine and I just need to remember that. Anyways, dinner is on the stove.

No Happy Days
So..I've been going through a lot of ups and downs lately..I think more downs than anything though. Unfortunately I'm not the sit at home with kids kinda mom..it depresses me to sit home everyday doing absolutely nothing. People tell me to get a job, yeah well I can't. I had a job but I lost it. It was the only one able to work with my hours. I don't have a babysitter so my options are limited. At the moment I don't even have options..between not having a babysitter, my husband working 40+ hours, and me going to school. I don't have time for a job. I wish I did. I'm just aggravated at my situation right now. We are always broke. Always, no matter what we do, I'm just tired of it. Tired of worrying all the time about everything, are we gonna make this bill, are we going to be evicted, if the light bill don't get paid they will kick us out. I'm just plain tired of it. What's the point of life anyways, I know it's to serve the Lord because that's what were put here for but if people can't afford anything, you have nothing, I'm not talking about material things, I'm talking about food, shelter, blah blah blah. How can trying to work for that your whole life make you happy. Well it doesn't make me happy. I wanna live, enjoy life and the good things the world has to offer. The only thing I am living for these days is a place to live and food in my kids' bellies. I didn't even know if I was going to make it home yesterday from picking my daughter up from school. She's gonna miss the rest of the week and next week because we don't have gas to take her. Because of her absences..she will probably get kicked out of the program..she is supposed to have a 90% attendence. What can I do? I can't walk her there. It's too far and I have a 1 year old to tote around. She's going to be mad at me..she was mad at me this morning already because I didn't take her. My life these days is a no win situation.
I had a birthday yesterday, it's the one day I look forward to each year because it's my day. Well not anymore, it sucked as usual..it's just "another" day. Why can't I be happy for once, why do people undeserving get to be happy? I don't understand this world or how it works and probably never will. All I'm asking for is to be happy. Why is that so much to ask for anymore?

Feelin' better
So, I'm feeling much better now..not in such a bad mood like was a few days ago..It had been a rough few days..when too much goes on all at once, it gets to me and I can't handle it. Anyways, spent some time with my new best friend and she always helps me feel better :). I've really enjoyed having her and her husband in our lives..her husband and mine have been becoming good friends as well so we have made a great group together lol.
So..we are broke, what's new but I know the Lord will help us through these next two weeks. I'm hoping we will get some money from our trees that should be taken off this coming week. My birthday is wednesday so that would be a nice gift. Lol. I'm feeling old these days...I have a fear of getting old..i know thats wierd to some but I don't look forward to my old gray and helpless days. I like being young and full of life. Anyways, enough about sad stuff. I'm going to dollywood tomorrow, we got free wristbands from wivk and its supposed to be 100% chance of rain! UGh..I'm praying it will ease up some so we can enjoy the day and ride some rides. Whats dollywood without roller coasters!!?

Grrrrr
I'm not in a very good mood today, nor was I yesterday. Why do things have to seem like they are going so well then one or two disturbances make it all crumble and fall. I'm angry, I'm sad, I'm pushed over my limit. We were supposed to go camping and have a cook-out this weeked, that got messed up by a friends vehicle messing up, not his fault but if him and his gf didn't come, no one else would be coming so we would have spent all that money on food and no one would have showed. So I told the babysitter this morning we would't be needing her. She got mad at me because I didn't tell her sooner and she could be out doing something else. My son will not stop crying, that's all he does. We have no food in our house, the kids are hungry, my husband got paid but we have no money still. All the bills got paid..that's great but when there is nothing leftover for two weeks what are we supposed to do. It's just been one thing after another. I can't take it anymore!!! Because we are broke, I will be sitting in the house again all weekend, I'm already going stir-crazy. I'm not going to be sane by Tuesday when my husband goes back to work. Top it all off, my birthday is Wednesday, every year is a re-run. My birthdays have brought nothing but pain and aggravation. Cant do anything, poorer then the poorest. I'm always upset or depressed about something. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I'm losing it!!

Cant wait 'til the weekend!!
So I can't wait til the weekend...going camping!! Haven't been all summer, so I'm excited. Lol.Gonna have a cookout with some friends and work on the property. We have it all cleared, the part we want cleared anyways but the logger left us a mess. We get to have a nice big bonfire and burn all the tree tops..lol I sooooo can't wait until we get our home built. Our plan is have the root balls out and the land grated and have the footers dug before winter. If we can get that part done before next year, our income tax goes to starting foundation and getting as far as we can until we run out of money..lol We originally had a five year plan but here lately it has went to within the next year to two..I'm hoping this time next year we can at least be moved onto the property..That will save us rent money and we can put it towards finishing the house. I'm so proud of my husband and I. We had a dream from the day we met and didn't think we would have gotten this far. Within the 6 years we have been together, we have been married, had two kids, moved a lot, went through a lot of things together, had our ups and downs, bought our property, and now were fixing to start building a home. There was a few people that had their doubts about us even being together as long as we have but they can kiss my hiney now cuz we have made it so far and I'm still looking forward to all the years to come spent with him. :) I'm beginning to enjoy and love my life more and more each day. I have had a lot to go through to get to this point in my life but I think I'm finally happy now. :)
I also have a new friend who has helped me realize that I don't have to be out partying and having a good time to still be having a good time and enjoying my life. So thank you to her! You mean so much to me girl. :)

I can do all things through Him who strengthens me!
Dear Lord, I thank You for this day,
I thank You for my being able to see
and to hear this morning!
I'm blessed because You are
a forgiving God and
an understanding God.
You have done so much for me
and You keep on blessing me.
Forgive me this day for everything
I have done, said or thought
that was not pleasing to you.
I ask now for Your forgiveness.
Please keep me safe
from all danger and harm.
Help me to start this day
with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude.
Let me make the best of each and every day
to clear my mind so that I can hear from You.
Please broaden my mind
that I can accept all things.
Let me not whine and whimper
over things I have no control over.
And give me the best response
when I'm pushed beyond my limits.
I know that when I can't pray,
You listen to my heart.
Continue to use me to do Your will.
Continue to bless me that I may be
a blessing to others.
Keep me strong that I may help the weak...
Keep me uplifted that I may have
words of encouragement for others.
I pray for those that are lost
and can't find their way.
I pray for those that are misjudged
and misunderstood.
I pray for those who
don't know You intimately.
I pray for those that don't believe.
But I thank You that I believe
that God changes people and
God changes things.
I pray for all my sisters and brothers.
For each and every family member
in their households.
I pray for peace, love and joy
in their homes; that they are out of debt
and all their needs are met.
I pray that every eye that reads this
knows there is no problem, circumstance,
or situation greater than God.
Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.
I pray that these words be received
into the hearts of every eye that sees it
in Jesus' name. Amen!
