Finally an update

Okay, so it has been almost a month and all my people, those who read my blog, I will be or have seen over the Christmas season. So I guess I am updating it for me to look back on.

Well, X-mas came and went. It was nice. All the family was glad to see the babies and meet the boys. God blessed us with lots of toys. Thanks! Now I will be praying for batteries for the toys and then cotton balls to quite the toys. Yes, I know that it does not make sense, so here is a brief explanation: boys got CD players. Great! It keeps them quite, bad they eat batteries. T & E got lots of "educational" AKA noisy toys. I have found this little trick. Take 1 or more cotton balls, depending on the loudness factor, tape it with packing tape over the speaker of the toy. And then you have one less loud toy, but the noise is still audible to the little ones. The trick is to do it early and they will never know that the toy was a 400 decimal toy, they will think the cotton is just part of the toy. Please note that this trick does not work well on Husbands and the mouths of children. ;) Also drums for toddles: WHAT WERE YOU THINKING KEITH!!! There is not enough cotton in the world.
We took the new van on our trip. Sure was nice to have room for everyone and their stuff. Bonus was not having to worry about car trouble.
On the 19th we turned in the paper work for guardianship, by the 23rd we had the papers back granting us temporary g-ship. Pray foe us on the 19th of Jan. We have the first court date to get the temporary g-ship worked out. Then Feb 27th is the date we go to permanent g-ship. Please pray that this will be smooth and that SHE will not show up. Also that God will provide for the extra fees that are/have been encoring.

Feb 6, I start a temporary new job. : Hopefully more $$ and it will be a break.

T is a talking little guy. Every day that kid says something new.
E is growing like a weed. She'll be 11 months at the end of this month. We are working on weaning. I stopped pumping, so she will be forced to take a bottle. I enjoy our time together, but I need to let go. Also she is now taking it. She'll lift my shirt at night or in the bath, she make a break for it and try to sneak a swig. I know TMI, but really it makes me laugh. And lately that is hard to do.
W is still adjusting. He is trying.
K is 12, need I say more. Pray for him, he is having trouble letting go of old habits, lying & 5 finger discount. The worst, for him, but not for us, is his always gets caught. Maybe he'll learn sooner that later. It is starting to affect the entire family. More so now, then ever. The last few days have been bad. And he has been very bold.

Keith is ok. K is wearing him.
Keith wants to have a baby, well, I'll tell you what I told him, wanting and need are WAY 2 different things. Not to mention, GOD is in control, not us. Oh, and God, I am only 30, I still have like 6 or 7 more good breading years left in me.
Sure in a perfect world I would be barefoot and prego again. But I don't live there, and if you do, great, send me a post card. We can barely handle our 2 babies and 2 boys let alone another baby. So in walks the contraceptive topic, the pill or not the pill, or whatever BC method you can think of. A: trust God and know that he's in control. B: Get on the pill and spend $$ we don't have. Or C: do what we do now, nothing, who has time for S*X when you have 4 kids in your house!?!?! Oh, and 2 of them think your big king size bed is theirs! Please feel feel to vote at the end of the blog, J/K!
A & C sound good to me.

As for me. I feel a little better. I went last Tues for 6 hours and got an iron transfusion and B12 shot. Still, I don't feel 100% . I go back next month to see if it worked.
I feel disconnected from the world. From my honey, from my kids and from God. I know that He's there, but having trouble "feeling" it. Does that make sense? I miss all the fun stuff my friends are doing. It seems like I can't get it together. Either some on is grounded, or sick or I have to work.
Well, I have spent way too much time whining. I have to go back to work. Your tax $$ at work now!
bye for now
