Tis the season for.....

HUNTING

This past saturday was opening day rifle season and of course my husband called me at 8:30 am to tell me he killed a "BIG DEER". Of course i was thinkin okay prob a small 6 point, no he was much bigger than that. 12 POINT! and weighed out at 130lbs. the biggest deer michael has ever killed. He was so proud and printed a pic off the computer to show off to everyone. We are happy that his dad said he would pay to have it mounted so we will get it back in march and our meat will be ready in a few weeks. I am thankful that this year he has been taking all the deer to the processing place instead of cleaning it at home...it is too much of a mess. But this deer had been in the rut so he stunk from peeing all over himself.

Long time no see!

It seems like i haven't blogged in a life time. I have been meaning to blog but things have just been so hectic with work and kids and home life. I am afraid i am addicted to facebook thats for sure. I forget everyday to read all my blogs i follow, it just seems like i never have the time lately.
i also have been doing some redecorating around the house too, i will definitly have to post pictures when i am done, right now i am working on my bedroom.

Bryers first day of kindergarden was thursday. The picture above is him in the car, we were running late so i took a quick snap of him in the car.
Well gotta run hope you all have a great weekend!

Happy Fathers Day

I just wanted to say happy fathers day to all the fathers out there. We had hubbys dinner last night. i accidently fell asleep while they were doing all the grill stuff(hey i told him he should have woke me up). So i feel really bad considering he would not sleep in the bed last night and i have yet to talk to him today since i am sitting at work. Oh by the way i got my job. I started friday. My shift will be a 36 hour shift so i will only be paying a babysitter for 2 days and still have all week to spend with my family. Hopefully i will get in some more hours. I got a laptop yesterday so i could sit on the internet at work when i had nothing to do. Well hopefully hubby won't be too mad at me when i get home tonight. Today i am just working a 12 hour shift, which has been going by really really slow. So thanks for all the prayers for me to get my job.
HAVE A GREAT FATHERS DAY!!

Well i think i will tag mmmm......The Ermis party

They are out!!!!

Yeah they are out but guess what? THEY STOLE ALL MY MONEY!!!!!!! YES I SAID STOLE ALL MY MONEY. i am so sooo soo mad right now, especially at myself for letting them do this to me. i should have listened to everyone when they said to make them leave. but i am such a nice person i tried helping. i will be damn if i ever do it again(excuse my language dana lol!) but what the heck, i keep asking myself why why did they do that. i have cried, thought of doing mean things to them but that is the old me. and as my son says "you don't trust in god if you do mean things". and that is right, it WILL come back to them and they WILL pay for it, not from me but from the big man upstairs. They stole money from me last week and stole from bryer and stole from my daughter. i am done, and i know it sounds mean very mean, but as long as i live i don't think i can ever talk to them and forgive them. you should always forgive and forget but some times it is just to dang hard. I know everything will work out till next payday, it always does. and what happens to you just makes you stronger of a person and you learn from your mistakes. I will just keep praying like i have done all day, i know i have yelled at god and i shouldn't but i guess sometimes i just think why why did it happen to me, i am a good person. and it is not gods fault, he doesn't make them do that. So i did ask for forgiveness. But i have calmed down now and going to start cleaning for our family cookout tommarrow.
thanks for listening yall

Show Us Where You Live Fridays-Living Room Edition

have you ever checked out Kelly,
well she is having a home tour, so i thought i would join in. make sure you go check out her blog

this is looking in from my hall way, i have a ugly looking tv stang and then a shelf next to it, we bought our tv last year when we bought our house and just never have had the money to get a stand.
Our furniture is the kind that you can spill stuff on it and it cleans up great, keeps the stains away. as you can tell i don't have that much decor. i like to go to yard sales and find stuff instead of having to spend tons of money at department stores. my rug i got from kmart, it was my mothers day present to myself!

i love this little cabnit, its great to hold blankets and games that kennedy can play with, i love the old antique look.

this is looking in from my dining room, on each side of the big window i have a collage frame for each of the kids, when i repainted the living room and hall way i said i wasn't going to put curtains up just the blinds, but i think i am going to get some fabric and make some light colored tan maybe floral type of curtains, something that will make the window stand out.
y
i absolutly love this food placemat for dogs, i bought it at petsmart

my new sweet edition to our family, our maltese name Maddie, she was rescued from a puppy mill that was horrible to her, when the family i got her from brought her home she could barely walk.

i bought this thing at kmart and took all the pictures that is in it, i still need to add a bunch

my little wall mural of my man


this is our hallway, i have all of kennedys toys in it because having an extra dresser in her bedroom along with a toddler bed plus a full size bed, there is barely any room. her room was crammed full of toys and i got them down to just a few bins

Love this lamp? I bought it at a yard sale for $2!!!


this is our messy area, sorry for the bright jacket, i took these pictures this morning after i went on a call.

my hubbys hole, he absolutly loves this chair, it is like the size of a love seat, as you can see my little shelf to the left is bare, i really just don't know what to put on it

if you don't have a potato box, you odd to get one they are so great, i bought my at a yard sale for just $5. can you tell i love to garage sale

Since i forgot about the home tour last week i thought i would throw in a few pictures of my kitchen.

my china cabnit that was my grandparents with all my different collectiables

looking into the dining room from the kitchen

this is one view of my kitchen, it is very small


i love the color, this is one of the only rooms we did not repaint, on top of my cabnits it have baskets with fake vine, it looks so pretty

if you guys have any ideas for me please let me know, i know the paint is really dark, but we had painted it a tan color and it got so dirty it looked horrible, i love this deep brown, it really makes it feel warm i just need to put alittle color in it

I am hoping to go the park tommarrow since bryer is out on spring break maybe even take a trip down to arkansas and put some flowers on my dads grave.

Have you seen it?

Last night i went to church and watched this wonderful movie. Not knowing exactly what it was about. I cried through it, it was just like my life and our marriage problems that we have had. We are going to buy the book. If you have not seen it then get it. I was always told that you can not have a marriage without god and i really did not know that meaning until last night.

Spring Cleaning

I have been doing some major spring cleaning. Im no longer worried about studing for school even though i do have my national registry test but i have no idea when i will be taking that yet. So today i worked on bryers room, i will post before and after shots. I am not quite done yet.
Tonight we went and visited FIL at the hospital. Sunday they moved him to detox because he is a very bad alcholic. He is doing good, still can not walk all that well we will have to get him a walker. They are talking about letting him go home tommarrow. So we will see how it goes. I am hoping any day now we will get our tax return back. We are not getting back as much as we usually get but oh well it will pay bills off. I am off to bed talk at ya later

Just another day

I have not blogged in a week, so much has went on that when i get home from the hospital i go to bed. I think i have 5 more loads of laundry to do, i have done about 3-4 every night. Well my father-in-law is doing somewhat better. Yesterday they did a heart cath and found no blockage but he does have congestive heart failure(chf) and its not cureable. Usually you die from complications that arise from that like not being able to breathe and what. But he is not himself, if he makes it out of the hospital he will most likley need 24 hour care. We will not put him in a nursing home what so ever. He is still really working to breathe, which he has COPD, which we think is why he had the heart attack since his heart or brain was not getting enough oxygen. Just putting to much stress on his heart.
I thought i would share the story of last sunday because he was indeed very lucky.
For that last week he had really not been himself, telling us we would all miss him when hes gone. Well sunday he was having trouble breathing, breaking out in sweat. They put his oxygen on him and turned it up to 5 and still it was helping. Then about 2 hours later he stuck his head in the freezer door, when his girlfriend asked him what he was doing he looked at her and his lips were black. He was going into respiratory failure, usually you will just get cynosis but he hadn't got good O2 for a while. Well they loaded up and he finally agreeded to go the hospital. All the way there he was really trying to breathe. She pulled up to the ER entrence and they brought out a wheel chair and took him inside and then she went and parked the car. When she came back she no more said "im here honey bunch" and thats when it hit. he jumped about 2 feet out of the wheelchair, eyes rolled in the back of his head and he stiffened up just as you would a seizure. They rushed him back there and worked on him for about 15minuates. His heart went into asysotle, which is usually a rrthym of he heart that is not one they can get the person back. Somehow they did. put him on a ventalator and sent him to ccu. If it wasn't for being at the hospital he would have died, everything was timed perfect. Although he never wanted to be shocked or put on a ventalator.
Me and michael were in owasso at his football practice and finally my step-dad called us and nobody else had tried. so we hauled butt to bartlesville, which is a good 45min but i made it in 15 min prob lol.

He does have some brain damage that you can tell already, he raises his hands up and doesn't even know that he is doing it. He will ask where he is at and he also said that it was january 19, 1999. He is very slow and his right hand is drawn up. He reminds me alot of my grandpa when he had his massive heart attack and then ended up with dementia from brain damage.

I have to say we have some really great friend, people have babysat for us since we spend all day at the hospital and hubby took the whole week off. Everybody calls on the hour it seems like.
Well i am going, got to get ready to go to the hospital and sit with him while his wife goes to eat with her kids. We can't leave him alone cause he tries to get up.
I ll try to update more
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

Wordless Wednesday(a day late)

ICE STORM 09

Since about noon we have gotten nothing but freezing rain. The highway is so bad that everyone is wrecking even if you only go only 5 to 10mph.
This is supposed to go on till wednesday 6am.

This is what we are doing today where it is warm

Poor Buster likes to stay outside most of the time and he has stayed inside all day only going out once.



my car can you see the ice

our front porch steps and sidewalk is just a pure layer ice

I have taught her well

She is learning early. Dont look at my carpet, it is so badly stained and can you believe it supposed to be white. It was like that when we bought it. We plan on putting in hardwood floors in march(thank goodness), i try everything in the world to keep it clean, i shampoo everymonth sometimes twice and it still gets dirty.
