THE NEW FRIDAY FOLLOW

Welcome to the very first NEW Friday Follow hosted by Tami at Hearts Make Families, Harriet at Harriet and Friends, and Ian at The Daily Dose of Reality! We invite you to join us every Friday to get more blog followers and to find many interesting blogs that you like. This is all about sharing and having fun.A few housekeeping issues: We are looking for hosts for later dates. We have decided that three hosts is a good number for each blog hop. As usual, the top slots will be reserved for the hosts so they will get a lot more attention to their blogs. Another great benefit is that each host will have the opportunity to showcase their work the week after they host on Friday-Follow.com.We expect you to be on your honor and to have fun. These are only guidelines to make it more enjoyable for you. Here’s how YOU can join the Friday Follow celebration:
Link up your blog name and URL using the McLinky below. Only need to add on one blog to be seen on all the blog hops.

since middle school.. now after some blog hopping
and making bloggy friends I hit 100!
my hubby thinks im a goob
cuz i kept saying OMG guess how many followers I have?..lol
All I hope is that everyone continues to read my blog...
I try to post things that are important to me
or sometimes just vent,
Thanks for listening and advising me
I cant wait to make it to the next blog milestone.
Now to just get my page better lol..
still learning bout that button and rolling roll type thing.
Im getting there.
Thanks again for all the support!
Can 't wait to keep reading everyones blogs.
You are all some Awesome people!
lots of love
ME!!!
WOOHOO GOT ME A BUTTON!!!
THANKS TO A FRIEND
I WILL LINK HER IN A LIL WHILE!!

SO PROUD -

Well tonight I will be going to a High School Graduation. It is the first class I taught five years ago. I am so proud of the kids! One in particular is my "adopted child" I have talked a lil about before. So I am going to talk more about her... this is a pic she sent me when she recievedher cap/gown.. cant wait to see her tonight in it!


Her name is Veronica... she is a smart young lady!
She got pregnant her junior year and missed most of the year. But still graduated in the top of her class while being a New mommy. We all know how hard that is all by itself.

She is a sweet girl, and I love her as if she were my own. Teaching her while she was in 8th grade we became close, she was going through some things and would come tome to talk. Her mom and her were close but not close like they needed to be. There were times her mom tried to be more of her friend than her mom, and so therefore V got away with just bout anything she wanted. I was the one she listened to for some reason. I have become so close with her whole family and they all know she calls me mommy and they are ok with it. I love her and her baby girl Natalie.
Natalie calls me TATA and I love it!

So on top of her I am so proud of the whole graduating class of 2010. and can't wait to see them walk tonight! I've had so many of them message me asking if I was going to make it to graduation! and I am really excited to watch them! and of course get pictures (which i will post later).

Where does the Time Go?

So I have been a little emotional lately... and friday was no exceptioon...
See my babies all go to the same school... the girls are in second grade and my lil man is in Kindergarten, he will graduate friday. As i dropped them off I got sad, because since the first day of school they have all gotten out of the car and stayed together, but not here in the last week or so, and maybe I just finally really paid attention. My Ethan went one way, towards the gym, and the girls went their way towards the library or cafeteria. I realized then how much of a BIG boy he was, and boy did I get upset on my way to work. Seems to be a lot here lately, they all are getting so BIG! makes me sad, but also makes me happy!

Time just goes by so fast, I mean look its already almost June of 2010.

sometimes I'd just like a pause button for certain moments of time!

Mission MOnkey

Click on monkey to donate...please help!











Hello blog-world! I am participating in what's known around the world as Mission Monkey day! What is Mission Monkey you ask? Well, there's this blogger friend of ours known as Pixie Momma, aka Michelle. Michelle has a little girl, or Monkey as she's known by who was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma. To learn more about it, click here. Monkey is a sweet little 16 month old girl. She doesn't deserve this. Nobody deserves this.

But the good news is that Monkey only has Stage 1 (low risk). The bad news is the medical bills are mounting and the Physical Therapy (starts today) isn't covered by insurance. Michelle is using the donated money to offset medical bills. She will donate and unused portion to another family dealing with the same issue.

This is why the blogging universe is banning together like never before to rally around Michelle and Monkey to provide support. In addition to further entice you to lend your hand, and donate to the cause, we have over 50 items that have been donated. Many bloggers are hosting these fabulous giveaways and all you need to win one of these items is just one raffle ticket.

Pour Your Heart Out - Lack of Summer for ME





It's that time again... the wednesday meme over at Shells which I just LOVE... and because we can talk about ANYTHING its why I love it!


Lets talk about my summer vacation...

Oh or wait the lack of one for the first time in FIVE years.

I have been a teacher for five years (including this one), but this year I have just been a sub. I quit the permanent job I had for the last three. (another story in itself). So for the first time in
Five years I have to actually find a job and work for the summer, while still praying I find a permanent teaching job for next school year.

Can we say DEPRESSSED about it.. YES! I have so LOVED getting to be with my Kids and do things with them. and now they will be at day care all day long (yes getting to do lots of fun things and go places), but still.

Guess I will try to fill the few weekends of the summer up with things we can do, On the weekends I actually have them :(

Sad Sad Sad... :(

But on a happier note.. we only have like 11 days of school left! :)

PYHO - Reality vs Fairy Tale

As per the last few weeks.. it's Wednesday and I want to participate in the usual PYHO









Topic for today.... Reality vs Fairy Tale

As a little girl we all or at leastmost of us wanted that whole FAIRY TALE romance... even tomboyish lil me wanted it. Now of coursemost of us don't really ever have the perfect fairy tale.. but I'd like to think I at least found my perfect Prince. But really todays reality vs fairy tale is not about me it's about some other people I know.

So two friends of mine and hubbys have hooked up and decided to "date"... so your thinking oh thats cool no big deal right... WRONG... the reason it has become a big deal, within the last three weeks of them getting together... they have become Not so great friends... hurting those that were their friends first.

Reality of it is - She was hurt very very bad many many times over and just got out of an on/off relationship of two years (whom she really wanted to be with)
He got out of a 15 year marriage about a year ago.

Now I will be the first one to say I am not knockin instant connections or love or whatever.. (HUBBY AND I FELL HARD AND FAST, BUT I'D ALREADY BEEN AWAY FROM MY EX FOR OVER TWO YEARS AND WAS OVER HIM WAY BEFORE WE FINALLY GOT THE OFFICIAL DIVORCE).. But see danny and I have been around these two for awhile now and all of a sudden their whole personalities have changed.

When the four of us hang out.. danny and i feel very uncomfortable like we really are not wanted there, even though weeks before the four of us could hang out and have a great time.

So Reality of the guy friend is this - danny texted guy friend and said we shouldn't hang out anymore, needless to say guy friend is clueless about why... oh why cuz he has his head soooo FAR up girl friends butt he can't see that he has been hurting danny. His first response wasn't "well why danny whats going on?" it was "why can't you just be happy I'm happy with her etc... ".can we see where this is going? Prior ties not straight or what?!

Fairy tale is this - guy is... BLINDED by "LOVE"

Back to reality of the girl friend - so yea she was basically living at mine and danny's house for three weeks, doing just bout everything with us.. still hung up on ex boyfriend to the point of saying all kinds of hurtful things to me (OK TIME TO FILL YOU IN JUST A LIL BIT ... her exboyfriend was my EX HUSBAND the X i talk bout on here. yes weird I know but...our kids are best friends). So back the story... the past two weeks even she has been blowing me off for him...

Hate the onesided friendship thing.. hate that danny and I were good enough for the two of them to hang out with till they basically found something better. We dont care if they date.. we just wanted our friendship intact.

Fairytale again - guy friend is on a mission to basically in my mind "buy" this girl friends love.. by takin her to do all the things she never has, anything she mentions that shelikes or would like he goes overboard to have done... Now this may seem sweet and all but in REALITY this is not the guy friend we know...we've tried talkin to her bout it but they both think we are just being ANTI - THEM.

SO WHAT DO WE DO? GUESS AT THIS POINT WE SIT BACK AND WATCH THEIR RELATIONSHIP UNFOLD IN SOME FORM OR FASHION.. GOOD OR BAD..

UNLESS ANYONE HAS ANY OTHER ADVICE FOR ME/US. There is probably so much more of this story I left out.. and it may seem all broken and jumbled but... it's just really bugging me and hubby how we've been treated and are still being treated in some ways.. I'm sure this is just post 1 about it all .. lol thanks again for reading my drama as i pour my heart out again!

BLOG FRIENDS ARE THE BEST.. and I'm so glad I've made some!

TwinHAppy Tuesday hop


.Over at Twin Happy.... http://twinhappyjen.blogspot.com

the TwinTuesday QOTW is:
Finish this line: You know you're no longer a NEW Twin Mom when...
So my answer to this ? goes right along with Jen's... but still
As a mom of twins I've always been asked are they twins? They are now to the age they answer the ?s... yes we are twins, we are 7 mins apart... yes we look just like mommy... and they do since the day they were born.
But also I know I'm not a new twin mommy when I am not buying my girls the exact same matching outfits anymore... I use to buy everything the same with just an occasional same but different color... now it's more of either let them pick or the same but different type outfits.

mothers day ... yesterday

my babies on mothers day yesterday .... riding the ferry too Galveston!! My flowers from my babies and my hubby!!!
I LOVE THEM ALL SOOOOOO VERY MUCH!!!

Really... Seriously... Do you Even Know?

So last week in honor of mothers day I talked about my stepmom (MOM to me) she is amazing and I love her!.. well today I want to rant bout the womb carrier.. or the biological mother as I've called her for years... we will stick with BM through out this post...

So saturday night about 11pm BM calls to wish me Happy Mother's Day, I thought oh interesting, ok.. "happy mothers day to you to."... she then tells me that she loves me, and is proud of me, etc.. ok so here we are thinking this is not a bad convo at all.. actually I was feeling like maybe she does care a lil bit bout me and my kids etc... (though she has seen my 3 like maybe ummmm 10 times in 8yrs.. and that is usually when i run into her in HEB or Walmart)... but of course she couldn't leave the convo at Happy Mother's day.. I'm proud of you etc.. it had to go WAY DOWN HILL. She is the one that LEFT and No matterwhat the circumstances of her leaving she left.. and though I'm an adult now.. in my mind she still LEFT. ... but to leave out all the years and years worth of stories I'll pin point a few things...
  • she wasnt at ANY school function growing up.. academic/ extra curricular
  • she wasnt at wedding shower... my first wedding...my twins baby shower.. my twins being born... my son being born... or even my second wedding 7 months ago
  • SHE WAS INVITED TO ALL OF THE ABOVE
  • she can't stand to be around my dad/mom my grandparents.. so instead she chooses not to be part of my life yet tries to put the blame on me (her daughter) seriously what the hell

So everytime I consider even attempting a relationship with her.. she does something stupid ...

Yesterday I put on facebook.as my status.. Going to eat with the parents (wanted to put mom/dad but decided to be nice and just put parents), grandparents, aunt/uncle.. Had a great day even if it wasnt what I wanted it to be... but my family made it GREAT.

The BM then goes and puts on my facebook... Never satisfied what do u expect from a SPOILED brat... I love u tab but its true.

Seriously that is what she put... are you kidding me...

this woman does NOT even know me... does not know much about me cept what she reads on my stupid facebook... she couldnt probably tell you my fav color, my fav food,my fav movie... she has no idea what i like to do or what hurts me the most. yet she wants to call me a SPOILED brat... (now even if i am spoiled at times.. she should be able to go to sleep each night so peacefully knowing she did not make me that way lol).

When I read her little comment, I was SO MAD... So I know this.. no matter what her excuses and where she wants to put her BLAME.. which she still takes NO Blame for her not being in my life... she blames me, my dad, my mom, my grandparents.. but doesnt take any her for herself.. at 47 years old she is still putting fault everywhere else.

She is suppose to be the MOTHER and I'm suppose to be the kid.. no matter the age.. but anyways...

I know who raised me and who was there for me and it was not her.. it was my DADDY (whom i've posted about ) and then my mom that has loved me since I was 8 (whom i posted about last week). I LOVE THEM... and as much as at times it breaks my heart to not have a relationship with the BM.. most days my life is MUCH better without her DRAMA!

Thanks for reading everyone.. I just needed to get some stuff out at least a little of it.

My MOM - Mother's day edition early

In honor of Mother's day this sunday, I am going to write about my mom! (since I usually don't have time to get on during the weekend.)

My mom, Kasey, has been my mom since I was 8yrs old. My biological mom left when I was 5, (she still only comes around when she wants). My daddy married Kasey, when I was 8... now the interesting part about it she is only 11 years older than me. At the age of 8 and 19 it didnt seem as close as it may to some now. But she is an amazing woman... she took on marrying my dad, and raising me and my lil brother. I CAN NOT imagine where I would be if she had not come into my daddy and our lives. My daddy is a good man and did the besthe could in those three years after my biomom left. I was the tomboy in the neighborhood, she made me a lil more girly.. lol :)
I remember the first dress she ever bought me... I SOOOO didn't want to put it on. I'd much rather play with the boys outside.
She was always at every school function and extra curricular activity I was involved in from middle school thru high school. In 8th grade I chose to write a paper about her as the person I admired the most! She has always been so involved in our community (one of those everyone knows my mom or knows I am her daughter kind of things lol). Can't even go to the store without her knowing someone every ten steps. She has been so amazing, though overbearing at times, she always voices her opinion. I love her so much, she is one of my best friends.

I've always said I wanted to be like her, where I could balance my work and my kids schedules as well as she did/does. I have a half sister that is my precious baby sister and I know she will have MOM at everything just as she was at all of my stuff and I wasn't her biological kid.

She never has treated us (my bro and me) as anything but HER kids.. and would have adopted us in a heart beat if given the chance!
I LOVE HER!!!

She is so talented, and right there when I needed her help for my wedding, she did my flowers, catered, and did the decorations. She is so wonderful.

She is the best NAN to my kids, they love her too. She spoils them like grandparents do. Always getting them lil things here and there.

So HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MOM... I LOVE YOU!!

Pour Your Heart Out - E edition



IT'S WEDNESDAY AGAIN!!! one of my favorite days of the week in blog world... I love the meme over at Shells.....
























So lets get to pouring... So i want to pour it out bout my son! Tomorrow my baby boy, ETHAN, turns 6.. yes 6 and I can't believe it. Six years ago he was the best mothers day present ever for me :) Being pregnant with him was worse than being preggo with my twins, but I'd do it all again. He is the sweetest little boy I know.. and I can't believe how much he has grown. I call him my lil superson, or sometimes we call hm Evu.. or here lately I call him booboo (which when asked if he wanted me to call him EJ cuz there are four ethan's in his class and three on his baseball team, he said no i still like booboo mommy! :) Yesterday my mom and I took him to get his first pair of real cowboy boots and a cowboy hat...


























He is my baby and he knows I will cry tomorrow lol... He is so funny and though he looks like his daddy and loves being at his dads he is still such a momma's boy.. and I know he will grow out of that soon. But still makes me feel so good when he wants to curl up in my lap or get in my bed to go to sleep! He makes me laugh everyday and I dont think Ive seen him ever so excited about a birthday as this year. I cant wait for to see him all dressed up tom in his cowboy attire (pics will come). Sometimes I think his older (twin sisters) get to do so much more than him, but now that he is getting older his time is coming and I am so excited to see what he is going to excel at.. he loves baseball.... his loves his sisters and his mommy! I am so proud to be his mommy! I love him so very much... sometimes I still can't beleive how much we are able to love our children.




Here are a few pics of my boy! and tomorrow I will post him in his cowboy attire for his birthday!





Thanks for reading bout my baby!

Monday Minute again

It's that wonderful fun time again over at IAN's...

Monday Minute



1 - How much would you have to be paid to eat a human cadaver's finger?
um ewww.. but ya know give me a few million dollars and i'd try to imagine it as chicken or something... what i could do with some money these days

2 - Describe the worst physical fight you've ever been in.
Never been in a real physical fight.. unless you count those pushng and shoving matches with the ex husband... and beating his back till he let go of me! but ya know.. now there have been some times I wanted to beat some girls and guys down...lol


3 - Name one song that if you never heard it ever again, you'd be thrilled.
most of miley cyrus's songs.. i get so tired of boom boom clap.. but my girls LOVE it


.4 - Describe the "drunkest" situation you've ever been.
Oh geez... there have been a few of those.... those nights you can't remember how you got home, or the next day someone mentions waffle house and you go... WHAT? we went to waffle house and I ate What?... or having your friend drive down the feeder road the wrong way... (thank GOD there were no cars or cops)... and we made it home safe and sound... or driving down the road after your cuzs wedding.. laid out in the back seat with the door open pucking... NOT PRETTY at all. thank GOD for my best friends boyfriend! wow those are some moments not worth reliving

5 - What's your biggest regret?
My biggest regret would be letting others opinons get in my way of doing what would make me happy ( no mind you today I'm probaby better off because I chose to care what others thing and Im getting way better at that. But I also regret not going off to school and living with my bf.. things may would be so different right now if i would have. (though i am happy with my life)
