Well it has been a while

Emma is growing, she will be 2 in less than 6 months. I can't believe how big she is getting. She wears me out. We have all been sick this week. I have had some sort of pneumonia bronchitis, slur... it is awful.

I honestly have no clue what it is that I have. All I know is I do not want both my children to get it. Especially since I have been letting my mother take them to the doctor and she has already caused Kailey to miss 5 appointments and they have warned me that if Kailey misses one more that she will be booted from the Dr. Office and that will cause a huge burden on me. I am not sure why my mother can seem to remember what church is having what for free on what days, but can not remember her grand daughters weekly appointment.

I have never missed more than 2 appointments in one year. Let alone 5 in less than 4 months. I was only aware of 2 that mom claims got changed and she claims they changed them without letting her know. Kailey has to go 1 time a week to get her allergy shot. My mother takes her so I do not have to take off work because they do not make them convenient for Work or School.

You can only schedule shots Tues - Thurs between 8am and noon. Now all Children who are above a certain age go to school between 8am and 3pm, and those of us mothers who are not fortunate enough to stay at home work normally Monday - Friday, I am blessed with Friday's off, therefore, if they were on a Friday the only place that would be inconvenienced is school, but they do not give them on Friday but I think they should.

I get so sick of Allergies, I am glad she is back on the shots because apparently it will help her to out grow them. I am just stressing because I can not get proper help edgewise. My mother and father can't take her to the doctor and get her there when the appointments are because they are always sleeping. I hate leaving Emma there knowing that they sleep so much she is not properly supervised nor do they work with her or let her watch educational programing. It is all I have to work with though.

I would really love it if we had a better support system. I want people who are just as worried as I am about their health and education. We wonder why Emma is talking much yet, it is her lack of being worked with in speach, Kailey got a lot of that from me during the day when she was a baby, she also watched a lot of educational programing. But Emma gets NOTHING at all. I feel bad for her.

I plan on checking into some sort of day care that she doesn't have to go to all week that may cost much less just for educational purposes. I feel that she is not getting anything right now and she needs something.

I hope that maybe she can get into head start or something... she is just far behind. The doctor said she is ok... about average.. but still I feel bad cause she gets no one on one time and no educational boost.

 

Emma can never make up her mind on what she wants to play with she is always messing. LOL. I love that little mess maker. Over the weekend Kailey and her daddy went hiking in the smokies, so I went through all of Kaileys clothes and packed them up. I spent almost 12 hours on her room alone. It was an awful mess. Emma kept unfolding all the clothes and handing them to me and saying "thankyou".... she is a silly butt. She also kept trying to sit on my lap while I was folding clothes and sorting them. It was a real pain in the rear.

Sorry its been a while...

We have been up to visit my MIL a few times this year. It has been nice. We have gotten to spend plenty of time with her, I plan on going back about once every 3 months. I wish she could come here some to but her life is SO hectic right now.

 

 

I have added some pics below. You will see Emma and Kailey and Slaton. Slaton is my husbands nephew, (his sisters son). Slaton is almost exactly a month younger than Emma. She was born 11/20/2011 and he was born 12/25/2011.

 

She is bigger than him all the way around. But they are both cute as a button. I am sorry I havent had more to post but I have been super busy and as you can see Emma is running at full speed... climbing all over everything and she is a force to be reconed with. You almost have no time for computers at home.

Everything so far.

So this year I am going to lose 70 lbs. Yes that is right 70. That would leave me right at 130lbs. I am psyched cause I need to do this. So to give me the extra push I joined a group of people at my work and put up 50.00 which was what it took to get into the challenge. If I don't lose at least 5% of my weight I am going to have to pay a fine of 20.00 and then I lose. Either way, in the end whoever the winner is gets like 80% of the pot and the penalty moneys and whoever comes in second gets the other 20% . It is a great deal.

I hope that I can get down I am staying at 200lbs cause I can't seem to keep a hold on my diet..I also have super skinny friends who don't help me at all. I am trying to make myself stay on the diet I am doing a low calories diet, I am also doing zumba 2 days a week I need to fill another day with a work out but I have no time. I am super excited because i intend to make it the 12 weeks and at least be 175lbs. 160lbs at the least. I am working very hard and I am hoping to meet my goal.

The kids and I have all had a bad bought of sickness since just after thanksgiving. The head crud, the stomach crud the chest crud you name the crud and we had it.

I am so glad we are almost done with cruds. I am so sick of being sick. I hope we don't catch nothing else. Emma has a horibly runny nose this week and she just got over ear infections. I am hoping this wont become a repeated thing... nasal crud, ear infections, nasal crud again and then back to ear infections cause that would just get way out of hand.

Just after christmas we went to visit Buddy's mom and step dad. By we I mean me and the girls he never goes so we took the almost 4 hour trip to war west virginia. I love visiting his mother we talk and since she has his niece and 2 nephews the kids play. His one nephew is the same age as Emma and his niece and other nephew are a year older and a year younger than kailey. They all get along with each other pretty well.

I am going to try and take the kid's back up there for his nieces birthday party in Feb. It is really funny how the kids all have birthdays in a roll,Dakota (Buddy's youngest brothers son) was born in November Briar (his sisters first) was born in December, Kailey (our first) in January, Olivia (sisters second) in February, then on the second wave it was Reason (his middle brothers son) in September, Emma in (our second) Nov, and Slaton (sisters 3rd) in December... these last three were born in the same year, but the first 4 are all a year apart, in the same order lol which is odd. I guess none of us can have spring/summer babies lol.

I have been trying to get my truck fixed it has some minor issues but I want them resolved. I hope that, that gets done soon. Kaileys 7th Birthday went well. I felt bad cause no one who was supposed to come came, people who werent coming showed up but they were all family members.

I havent been posting because of all the sickness but I am going to try to get back to posting on a weekly basis. I hope that I don't stop again.
