Judgement day has come and gone....it went just the way that I had prayed and hoped.
My husband moved up just about as far as he can go without being corportate. He will move out of his current position tomorrow at 5am and start his new position on Monday....best part is it's days 7-4 Monday-Friday.....it's the best thing that could happen for our marriage and for his career. He's a big wig now....Wow, as I look back.. I remember marrying a college student. He was 6 months from graduation when we married on his Christmas break. We were broke as broke could be. If anyone ever said that I married him for his money then that would be a joke. If anyone wants to believe that, then he had a dime and I had a nickel. LOL We had 1 car since the motor slung a rod a week after we married. We sacrificed and ate the crappiest food but we were happy AND broke.
Once he graduated the student loan money ran out and we were left with absolutely no money whatsoever. His grandmother helped us some....yes, we lived off of 500 bucks a month. Luckily, the house we lived in was inherited and paid for. We went all over the south east looking for a job.....getting your first job in the medical field is challenging. We were out of money and out of luck.......just as we were about to get frustrated, a job called in Tennessee....he agreed to an interview but we had no money for hotel room, gas, food, etc. We decided we would sell our waterbed. LMAO We sold if for 200 bucks and on our merry way we went. We got there and the job was NOT what it was suppose to be. We headed home in disgust and pulled in our drive way with 37 cents to OUR names. After going inside we realized we were broke as heck and we were gonna be sleeping on the floor. LOL Anyway, to make a long story short.....a loan later and moving to Greenville, MS, we both had work. As I heard the news yesterday that my husband accepted this position...I started thinking back to where we started 16 years ago. We've come a long way baby. I can't tell you the excitement that is felt right now. I feel like I'm going to be a newlywed again, feel like I am going to know him again, he is going to be a daddy again, he's gonna be home in the afternoons with us....no one knows the toll this position has cause on our marriage and to think that I just about gave up. Anyway, so much for my honking ....I am so thankful and excited for him and his career as well as for our family.
Sooo now I will get to have my hobbies back....I will get to scrapbook, have some help around the house, get to make the jewelry that I have been wanting to do. It's not going to be about being a "single married mom" anymore. Those days are long gone! Thank you Jesus for giving me a partner again and I pray that we can be best friends like we use to be.

Digging down deep
It's been forever since I blogged....I find writing therapeutic so I am going to start taking this back up.
Digging down deep to finding your true identity is hard and confusing. Not knowing...then finally knowing has left me confused, tired, emotionally and mentally drained. When I look in the mirror, I finally know who and where I am from. Although, I finally **KNOW**, I don't understand.
In the process, I've been stuck in the mud, been cut by thorns, stickers, briars, freezing conditions, heat stroke, climbed mountains, been dehydrated. Ok, these are all figures of speech but not knowing and then knowing is harder than I originally thought.
The hardest part has been my marriage. I married at 18 years old to the man who I love to death. We're matches and gasoline, literally. I've thought about giving up on this marriage in the past 3 years so many times. Too many times to count. I wanted my husband to be best friend, brother, husband, my father, provider, my childrens father, and the list went on and on. I expected too much from him. Things changed a few weeks ago......I was ready to give it all up. I was ready to be single, a single mom, ready to leave my home (that we love and worked so hard for), ready to lose whatever had to be lost in order to be ________. I couldnt fill in that blank. My husband works nights and I work days and we're basically living 2 seperate lives in this home. Not what I want or what I signed up for. A few weeks ago, my feelings were so bottled up and we had a huge blow up (all me....he's easy going and I am the hot head). I couldn't hold in my feelings of discontent anymore. I made my decision to file for divorce.
To my amazement, his response was totally different. Don't get me wrong, he was angry and bitter at me. Had many choice words for me and we ignored each other for almost a week.....not one word was spoken between the 2 of us. BUTTTT his response was heart warming. For once in my life he wasn't wanting to run. He wanted to work it out and trust in himself, God, and ME....WHAT? ME???
I love old saying, Peace comes in the darkest hour. Well, that is exactly what has happened.
I can honestly say, this man loves me no matter what. He didnt want abandon me. I have never trusted because I had in my head that everyone will abandon me at some point.
Now, that things have been laid out on the table....The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly....things are finally turning around. My biggest gripe is that he works nights and I work days. Totally not working around here and I'm tired of being a "single married mom". Just when I had given up, he is looking at a promotion.....a big pay raise, better hours, and we can be a family again. I miss our dinners together at night, our family outtings, our date nights, him attending the kids events with me, us being in the same house at night, playing volleyball in the afternoons, our family vacations and trips together. No doubt I love him......I think it took him not wanting to run to make me realize how much he actually loves me. I am really blessed more than I ever knew or realized.
I'm hoping he accepts this position....he's worked so hard for it and deserves it. I've finally found some contentment with this marriage that I havent had in a long long time.
Life is getting much much better! God really answers prayers....and blessed me more than I deserve.

Journaling
I love to journal and write. Sometimes I fall short knowing what to write about....it's usually feelings, kids, work, you know the daily grind. There is a new blog to help with just that.
I've ignored this blog for the past few months because life was too busy to sit down and upload a million things. I am excited that something and other people will give me the mojo to document the important things in my life, things I wouldn't typically think of.
Here's the link if anyone is interested in playing along.

Ok....now gotta Rock my Blog with some stories.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful 2010....may it be filled with lots of good memories!

2009...Answers Revealed
Wishing everyone a year of wealth, health, and happiness. Happy 2010!
2009 was an incredible year........I have asked myself 1000's of questions regarding who I am for 33 years. 2009 was the year that the answers were revealed. I think back on this year and remind myself that no matter where you go, the truth is following you. People might think that they can get away with wrong deed but it will catch up with you. Unfortunately, unplanned kids from my biological father followed him his whole life. Us kids paid the price for the rejection, abandonment, and the years of anger. ***However on the bright side, I had an awesome daddy who loved me like my biological dad couldn't. I will forever love him and still think about him daily***
While I had an awesome daddy....I still wondered where I am from....I guess everyone would eventually want to know their bloodlines, roots, whatever you want to call it.
I set out trying to figure it out on many attempts but the door was usually only cracked, never fully open.
2009 my bio father passed away (only met him 3 times in my life and hadn't spoken in years)and answers were revealed. WOW! When one door closes, another opens. This saying is so dang true. I discovered brothers and sisters......we all met individually and finally all together. There are more siblings out there.....my brother and I will find them when it's God's time.
I've turned out to have awesome brothers and a great sister......I hate that we're all seperated my distance but we keep in contact on a regular basis. God truly answered my prayers by revealing my brothers and sisters and developing a relationship with them. None of us except our sister knew our bio father.....I am thankful that we have each other and peace knowing that we're not dealing with this alone.
2009 was definitely a year that I will NEVER forget.

Great quote
*****You can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying about the future*****
Get quote shared on Facebook.
We had a busy and good weekend. I worked all weekend since I now work every third weekend. The kids had a wonderful time Saturday night and are really hyper now that they've consumed about 40% of their candy. My kids don't do well with sugar and a time change all in the same weekend.
I love setting the clocks back (after the initial adjustment).......I feel like I am at home longer in the afternoons and the kids usually go to bed earlier, which I love! LOL
I have a ton of stuff to post on here......I stink at uploading things. Don't know why I roll like that but I do.
Hope you have a fantastic Monday.....off today and I am about to head out shopping and to take the puppy back to the vet to get staples removed.
Enjoy your day!

Great Weekend and ROLL TIDE!
so far after a crappy week! I love FALLLLLLL......
My dog will live....he had surgery to fix his lungs and diaphram (sp) ....he's costing some mega money but he's alive and good.
Saturday was great...got my house cleaned, went to do my own thing, boys went hunting, and then my daughter scheduled a sleepover. Luckily these girls were really good last night cause I was tired. Well, they were good after I made them turn down the stereo upstairs. HEHE!
Alabama won over Tennessee....didn't see the game but I did hear it on the radio.
12-10.....Tennessee came to play some football. Alabama struggled but Cody saved the day!
In the paper today Cody's play will go down as a historical moment for Alabama football.
I swear I thought we were going to lose!
Going to take the kids to the pumpkin patch today........Hubby and I always make a family day and take them, something we've always done. This year hubby won't be going but I am still taking them. I've gotten pretty good at doing things by myself with the kids.
I Love taking fall pictures with all of the pumpkins and scrapping them.
Gonna be a fun day!
Hope you have a fabulous Sunday!

Crappy Day
Hello my internet friends....Debbie Downer here! More of a vent than anything else......When I opened my eyeballs this morning, my day went to hell.
I got up and got ready for work.... my hair wouldn't fix, felt like crap, my clothes didn't dry, my kids wouldn't cooperate, and I was running late. I finally hurried everyone up and we were out the door by 6:10am. As I was going out the door my pups were laying on the front porch sound asleep. We got in the car which was 10 feet from the front porch and I put it in reverse. Well I hear a yelp....A LOUD YELP. I hit the favorite dog out of the 3 (whos suppose to be asleep on the front porch). I didn't run over him but I bumped him. I ran back to get my hubby to go check on the pup so I could go on. We were late without all of this.
I dropped the kids off at the bus stops and went on to work.
Needless to say, the dog has no broken bones but he has intestine damage and he's bleeding in his lungs. Hubby took him to the vet where they don't expect him to make it. I feel guilty, angry that I hurt the kids and hubby, and I feel stupid cause that dog was asleep before I walked that 10 feet to the car.
I stopped by the vet when I got off of work....I held the little guy, felt bad that I caused him to be suffering. He forgave me....he buried his head in my chest and kept wanting his ears scratched. Anyway, tomorrow I hope to know where we stand. If he makes it then he's going to be one spoiled little dog especially by me. I've never been that crazy about this dog yet I sent my family on a 8 hour drive to pick him up and sent some mega $$$ after finding him online.
Then the second phone call came in that my 19 yr old niece was rushed to the hospital with her heart. She has advanced stages of heart disease. Things aren't looking too great for her. Another blow to my crappy day. God I hope you give these doctors that knowledge to treat her and give her life. I've always been crazy about this girl! She was the little flower girl when I married my husband. I've watched her grow up since she was 4.
I'm personally not afraid of death but fearing death in others horrifies me. Once death occurs, you can never get back anything or make anything right again.
I struggle with this subject because we have jackasses who molest kids in prison and they'll live to be 90 yrs old. Only the good die young is a true saying.
Gotta have faith which is hard to have at times.
Here's to a better Thursday otherwise I'm going on a Margarita binge!

Bama # 1
After a lovely weekend, freezing my bum off, watching the game, cooking out and all other fun stuff that we did, I'm happy to announce that ALABAMA IS RANKED NUMBER 1!!!!!
T-Town and all of the BAMA fans couldn't be happier! I've gotten all into football this year. Unusual!!!!!!!....I've even told my hubby a few things about football players and rankings that he hadn't heard yet. ROFL
He asked me what was wrong with me!!! Oh nothing! Now if LSU will beat Auburn and I aint no LSU fan! LSU shouldn't have a problem since Kentucky just beat Auburn for the first time since 1966. Anywho, football is getting interesting. Mark Ingram is da bomb and I think we just might make it to a National Championship! Fingers Crossed!
Hope you have a great week!

Roll TIde!
Yay! Alabama won AGAIN! They played a great game although I do admit to napping from the 2nd quarter to the 4th quarter. Old women can't stay out late and be at work at the crack of dawn the next day. HEHE!
They're well on their way to beating LSU! ROFL (I have LSU fans in the family now) Whoda thunk it?
Great week so far around my neck of the woods....got to meet some of my bloodlines last weekend. I have pics but I rather scrap them and then share.
I've been editing them on Photoshop. I bought PS6 last year and I've never used it. Installed it this week and played with it.
I'm in love with turning a picture black and white then adding color on the colorful spots. Awesome accents to a plain pic! I have some ideas in my head but PS6 will take some time to learn.
Have a great Sunday!

Family History
It's come down to meeting a long list of family members that I've NEVER met before. I can't put my finger on my emotions but I am anxious. I am really glad that I'm going to see where my grandparents are buried...see their graves and be with ALL of my siblings at one time. This has never happened before! I am really excited to get a group picture as well. I know it won't look like most sibling pics since we're spaced out for 20 years. We didn't have our cute little bro/sis pics sitting by the Christmas tree....none of us ever laid eyes on each other until the past 6 months.
The kids and I are going to my biological fathers family reunion. I have a list of questions that I hope to get answered.
Anyway, I can't wait to see my 2 brothers and my sister again. I really love the time that I spend with them. It's good memories that I will NEVER forget.
I hope to learn more about the family, ancestory, some personal questions about my fathers life, and spending time with my siblings. This is going to be a great weekend that I almost passed up.
Hope that you're having a fantastic week. I am standing by for the weekend!

SUUUUU WEEEEEE
We went to the game yesterday and had a blast. Even in the pouring down rain at kickoff......thank Gawd for ponchos. We went with my dearest most mature friend that I have, REBA! She's a hoot to hang with! We all went on our cruise together and had a BLAST!
Anywho, the pigs got slaughtered yesterday! Alabama 35 - Arkansas 7 All that was left of the pigs were a few chitlings. LOL
Got to see every play and every touchdown.......got to hear the elephant squeal MANYYY times.
Getting home was a NIGHTMARE! Football is a second religion in Tuscaloosa.
A good day spent with the girls and my hubby......I haven't seen him much lately so it was nice to hang with the old man for 2 days. HEHE! We'll that has come and gone....back to reality. No husband, kids, school, and long days at work.
Here's a pic of us girls......We were soaking wet so excuse the horrible picture at the concession and smoking area.

Went Shopping
I went shopping when I got off of work so that I could spend my gift cards and birthday $$$. I love Bath and Body Works... I racked up on some perfume, candles galore, lotions, and room sprays. If you love candles go sniff the new "Leaves" candle. OMG, this candle smells GREAT! I should have been a witch since I have an obsession with Yankee candles and Bath and Body Works candles. Instead I am just a WITCH without the W and insert B. HEHE!! I racked another purse which I can add to my healthy collection. Don't know why I keep buying them because my closet is in serious need of more clothes not purses. My son even commented on how "crazy" it is to go shopping and buy "smelly stuff" and "bags"..... how I love a boy who just doesn't get chicks!
When I get that Versace purse that I have my eye on then I will take my purse collection to the Salvation Army. Oh how I love to dream!
Great week so far....Thank God tomorrow is Friday. I have a mound of paperwork at work to hit earlyyyy in the morning. I don't wanna wake up! LOL
Alabama plays Arkansas on Saturday......Kick some azz Alabama!
Have a great weekend!

Another Bday
When and if I wake up I will be another year older.
I can say that this was a year of truth for me. Sooooo much stuff happened. I will never forget it and will always remember how it has shaped me in both good and bad ways.
While I know the truth about a lot of stuff, I also have a lot of apathy and resentment.
This year:
My father in law passed away
We went on a fabulous cruise...got to see Cozumel and the Grand Caymans
Got to see my son kill his first deer
Got to see my husband and son kill their first wild hogs and a few to follow
Deer hunting ruled the roost around here
Had a wonderful Christmas, the best ever according to my kids
Husbands grandmother lost her house in a fire (STRESSFUL)
Totally remodeled our other home in less than 3 weeks
Got 2 new weiner dogs (grrrrr)
Lost my job that I loved because it closed
Started another job
Pit bills killed my beloved cat
Found that my biological father passed away
Found 2 brothers that I had no clue about and met them
Met my sister for the first time
Got to meet new neices and nephews
Watched my son become a dare devil that is scared of nothing
Got to see many other wonderful things but I honestly can't remember crap right now.
Yep, It might be a crazy life but it is my life!
I will never forget this year....lots of good and bad things happened but it's made me, ME!

Thank God It's Friday!
Finally!!!!!! A long week which I won't discuss because it would be heavy with profanity.
Let's just say, I'm glad that it's Friday. I am done working Saturdays and Sundays. WOOT WOOT! Monday-Friday 7-3pm. I've worked hard to get to where I am now but I don't feel this is where I belong. Accounting is my passion....I love it. You can't argue with numbers, they'll balance out everytime. Anywho, I wish things would turn around with accounting jobs.
I want to scrap this weekend after I clean up this house. I still haven't had a chance to do that.
I think I will play along at the Scrapperie. Fun Fun!
Alabama plays tomorrow.....ROLL TIDE!!!! Maybe they'll play like they did last week in the 2nd half. They need to get their crap together so they can beat LSU! ROFL
Posting pics tomorrow of some of the scrappy stuff that I finished. I never have time to sit down and just post.
We're going tomorrow afternoon to get a Beauty Walk dress......my daughter wants to participate in it this year. I am really undecided about this....she's getting a little too big for her britches this year and I am not loving preteens, their attitudes, backtalking, makeup, standing in front of the mirror all the time, the crying at the drop of a hat, always needing money, the boys, cheerleading, parties, and dances. I could ramble about this subject for hours but having a GIRL SUCKS! Boys are much much much easier! I wouldn't trade her for the world but she's the wild child who will be on a short leash for the next 7 years. LOL
Anywho, hope you have a wonderful weekend! I plan to enjoy mine!
Let's just say, I'm glad that it's Friday. I am done working Saturdays and Sundays. WOOT WOOT! Monday-Friday 7-3pm. I've worked hard to get to where I am now but I don't feel this is where I belong. Accounting is my passion....I love it. You can't argue with numbers, they'll balance out everytime. Anywho, I wish things would turn around with accounting jobs.
I want to scrap this weekend after I clean up this house. I still haven't had a chance to do that.
I think I will play along at the Scrapperie. Fun Fun!

Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer
good looking women come from Alabama! HAHA Alabama Vs. FL International 40-14
Great game Saturday night.....lots of fun fans that I got to hang out with. The FL people were a little strange especially in their movie preferences and personalities.
Nothing new around here.....work, games, daily dare devil stuff with my son, getting ready for cheerleading tryouts (Gawd help my soul), and the daily grind..........We have our next cruise planned out for next year.......Going with some friends that I adore but rarely get to see. We're hitting Jamacia, St. Martin, and St. Thomas on a 7 day cruise this time. I am so looking forward to this getaway......MUCH NEEDED .....If I could go now, I would. I need my toes in the water and my ass in the sand, not a worry in the world and a cold margarita in my hand. Life will be good on this day!!!!!
Working on some LSU game stuff.......hopefully my siblings will be able to come and hangout.
Tailgating is always an option too......the enviorment will be awesome especially with 1 LSU fan in the family now. FUN FUN!
Off tomorrow, going to scrap some more pictures.......going to be a long rainy day by myself. I love these kind of days!
Pics tomorrow!
Have a great Monday!!!!!

I love billboards, quotes, and........
I really don't know why but I love quotes, billboards along the road, and I love me some Mancow in the mornings.
I've noticed several churches along the way to work always have a quote up that is sure to get my attention.
Today one read: "Eternity is a long time to think about what you should have done"
I don't know why this hit me the way that it did but it's weighed heavily on my heart all day.
Theres a lot of truth in this saying and it reminds me of some people in my life that should have **thought** more than they did in life. It also is making me think a lot more about how my actions may affect others. Anyway, hope that it inspires you like it did me.

Lovely few days
I had surgery last week and took off for 7 days. Too bad all of those days have come and gone now. Tomorrow is the first day back at work for me.....I really don't feel quite up to it yet.....I'm just now passing kidney stones and feel yucky at times.
My kids spent this past week with their grandmothers house while I was out of it. On Friday, they arrived back in full force........I should have enjoyed the peace and quite with no kids more than I did. They've made up all all of the peaceful nights that I had since last Monday. LOL
Saturday, We (my daughter and I) went fishing and the boys went dove hunting. We were all at the same camp but we went seperate ways once we got there. Us girls, kicked some azz in the game of fishing. We caught 36 brim in less than 1 hour. The boys only scored 2 dove. ROFL
I love days where the girls are better than the boys in an outdoors sport. Can't wait to go back to that fishing lake!
A storm put us in the cabin for the rest of the afternoon.......then we headed back home. A good day and then some ALABAMA FOOTBALL! ROOOLLLLLLL TIDEEEEEEEEE!!
Need I say more? HEHEHEHE
Hope that you had a wonderful Labor Day......the kids and I cooked Ribeyes and roasted vegetables. They spent the day riding 4 wheelers and playing with their friends. I had a surprise visit from my friend in Panama City Beach.....she called at 8am to say she was on her way over. I didn't know she was in town.....she came right on over and I enjoyed seeing her......she didn't care that I was still in my nightclothes. ROFL I miss that girl......she was one of my closest friends that I've had besides my BFF Tammy.
Well, so much for the rambling....gotta get ready for work tomorrow. Long story about work but this should be an interesting week. TICK TOCK TICK TOCK!
Have a great week!!!!

Cut me a break
Well, the last few weeks have been very eventful around my house. I have been sickly with my kidneys (stones once again) and my son had a horrid bicycle wreck. (See pic of my poor baby) He's doing well a week later!!!!!!
They found out in the CT that he has Eagles Syndrome. Don't ask me what this is because I honestly don't know. I will get this seen about once I get myself straightened out.
In my CT scan for my kidneys, I have TONS of stones in both kidneys.
I went to a specialist today and I have kidney disease and will need surgery and radiation.
I am waiting for all of that to be set up and then maybe we can get back on track around here.
Kidney disease isn't a joke.....I have suffered from stones since I was 27. The past year has been the worst. I can thank my father for this.....this is where I got it from. It's almost like he's punishing me for finding my siblings. LOL I hope that this works and that they can prevent them in the future (highly doubtful) ......we'll see. I have changed my doctors to Birmingham.....so far so good and I think Brookwood Hospital is about the best around. I guess in light of the bad news, I have found the best care available.
We're really not a sickly family........we're just getting hit with everything at once right now.
So much for scrapping.....my blog has turned into a diary instead of what I wanted it to be.
I will however get it back to what I intended it to be.
Think good thoughts.....I am scared to death that I am going to hurt like hell or not wake up.
My kids are all I can think about right now.

School, Dudes, Dance
Well, so much for my whining about school.....I will stick to my story about the school system being in horrid shape but my kids are loving school. Maybe the teachers are trying harder since they have too.
My daughter absolutely loves middle/high school. She told me on the first afternoon that it was just like "Saved By the Bell", only better. ROFL
FYI, Boys/guys are now called *dudes*. She had a crush on a *dude* named *Webster* on the first day. The second day it was over......she didn't like him anymore because he raised his hand and stood up during roll call in 4th period. He was supposed to say "here". ROFL He's now labeled a *lame dude*. Anyway, there's a school dance tomorrow night and she is *hooked up* with Dax (the hottest *dude* EVER)
So, I see that this *dude* problem is just the beginning and we're only 3 days into school. YIPPIE (in my sarcastic tone)
My son loves his teacher....he told me that she's the best teacher he's ever had. When I asked him about a girlfriend...he said, "I don't have time for that momma....I'm concentrating on my studies" OMG I about fell over laughing. He isn't the best student in the world and to hear this come out of his mouth was comical. He studies dirt, 4 wheelers, bikes, fishing, and disappearing in the woods in search of snakes. Typical boy and outdoor stuff.
We will see how this school year goes....My bets that my daughters will be an adventure.
