  • Update=Sorry it took so long

    We have been here in Kentucky for almost three months now. Things are going great. My husband is working full time and has had no urge to do stupid things like he was caught up in when we were in Michigan. We broke down and decided to send Jerica, my oldest, to public school. It has been a good decision so far. She likes it and is adjusting well. Her class is small compared to others she has been in and I think that helps a lot. We are going to try to send Makenna, my youngest, to Head Start at the same school as Jerica goes too. We will see how that goes.

    I am in my 13th week of pregnancy number three. I have my first OB appointment on Tuesday. I am excited and anxious. Everything seems to be going well but there is always that little bit of wonderment. We are hoping for a boy but praying that is it just healthy and happy. My girls are excited and can't wait. I was pregnant when we left MI, just didn't know it! Seems we brought more than just a moving truck to KY!! lol I didn't find out I was preggers until I was in the ER feeling like my head and my stomach were going to blow up. Now I know why!! I was shocked when the nurse told me the news and my hubby was just as surprised. We had been wanting more children but didn't really think it would happen. God does work in mysterious ways. I think He knew that the situation in MI was not good for another child in our lives.

    This move was the best thing we could have done. Nothing but positive and good things have been happening for us. I can't wait to see what else God has in store for us!!

  • A Day of Horseback Riding

     


    My brother in law just moved to the country and they got two horses. This one is Bruno. He was a great horse and everyone, except me, got to ride on him. I was going to ride but it got to be too late and was getting dark. We had an hour ride home so I will have to get on him next time. I told the girls that we would go again before the move to KY. Seeing their love for horses, I want to get them into 4H when we get settled in KY. I think they would enjoy that. It was a good family day!!

  • Tired of This Cycle

    Okay, so my husband has been home now for one month. Things were going along fine. At least I thought so. He pulled an all nighter on Friday. He didn't come home and didn't call. He says he went to the casino and then stayed the night at his moms house. He finally came home Saturday evening after helping install his parents new pool liner. He states that he didn't do any drugs but his behavior was very similar to when he was coming off of some drug. He didn't go to church with us on Sunday either and told me that he was done with "that f'ing church". The girls and I went anyway. Trying to not make it worse, I ignored him when we got home. But that back fired. Our church was having a movie night Sunday night and I really wanted to go. They were showing "Fireproof", which I have been wanting to see. It was in our church bulletin but my husband says that he didn't know about it and why didn't I ask him to go. My friends were meeting me there. Then he called my friend names and tried to say he was going to take the car and she would have to pick me up. Well, he didn't take the car and the girls and I went again to church anyway. 

    I was going to go to the dollar store before the movie but it was closed early on Sunday. I asked him Sunday night if he would go in the morning but he acted like he didn't hear me. So, I asked again this morning. He said why didn't you go last night. I again told him the dollar store was closed. Then it was why didn't you go to a different store. I only had 2 dollars and that isn't enought to purchase what I needed at another store. Then he played dumb and asked which dollar store has what I needed. He knows what dollar store I shop at so I told him never mind. He left for work and didn't go to the store. Luckily, my mom came over to bring me the stamps for our birthday bash and she went to the store for me. 

    When he got home from work today he acted like nothing had happened. He does this a lot. And I am not supposed to be upset anymore. I just can't ignore things like that as easy as he thinks I should. So now he is saying that he is going to ignore me like I did him and that all I will hear when I ask a question is silence. I just don't know what to do. Just looking at him aggravates me. He always makes his mistakes my fault. Like something I did or didn't do is why he made the mistake. I know that isn't true but it still gets to me. 

    We had been planning a move to KY in a couple months but we haven't talked to our landlord about our idea yet. The bills are piling up and I am afraid one more month of late rent is going to come with an eviction notice and then our plan will be out the window. He was paid on Friday but hasn't offered to pay a bill yet. I asked him about it and all he says is that they will get paid. He told me that I can go to KY by myself. That he didn't care. That is the exact problem, he doesn't care! It is all about him and his needs and doesn't think that I have needs too. 

    I am sorry for such a long post, I just need a safe place to vent. Thank you all for reading. Feel free to comment if you wish. Hope you all are having a better summer than I am. :)

  • Daily Creed


    Let me be a little kinder,
    Let me be a little blinder
    To the faults of those about me;
    Let me praise a little more;
    Let me be, when I am weary,
    Just a little bit more cheery;
    Let me serve a little better
    Those that I am striving for.
    Let me be a little braver
    When temptation bids me waver,
    Let me strive a little harder
    To be all that I should be;
    Let me be a little meeker
    With the brother that is weaker;
    Let me think more of my neighbor
    And a little less of me.

About Me

  • I am a christian, mom, and wife. We are a home schooling family and active in AWANA, Community Bible Study, VBS, and our home school group. My oldest daughter gave her heart to the Lord at VBS. She is waiting very patiently to be baptized. We believe that modesty is a must in todays world. Being so, we wear dresses and skirts most of the time. Only if the girls are outside on their bikes or the swings, are they allowed to wear long shorts. We do not cut our hair and all three of us have almost waist length hair. I wear a bun style headcover most of the time. We try to live a very basic lifestyle and love thrift stores. Most things we have are hand me downs or paid for in cash. We do not have car payments, mortgages, credit cards or any other long term debts. We do however have bills just like everyone else.
