That is how long it has been since I have last posted. I said before I was going to try to keep it updated. I just forget and then when I do remember, it seems like there is way too much to catch up on and it seems like it will take forever. So anyways I finally decided I needed to just catch up. Alot has happened since I last posted in February. First off, Eric got hired at the airport in Vegas and I was able to quit my job at Rapport and stay home with the kids. I am so thankful to be a stay at home mom again. Secondly...I am 18 weeks pregnant with baby # 3. Who just happens to be another boy. YaY! Time has been flying by lately. In just one week we are going on a family trip to Disneyland with Andrea,her boys,my mom,Grandma Helen, Jamie, my kids and myself. It is going to be alot of fun. Just one week after that, Jaidyn starts kindergarten. It's crazy to think that she will be in school 4 days a week now. Colin will start 3 year old preschool right after labor day. I don't have their schedule yet, but if they happen to be at school at the same time, I won't even know what to do with myself. Thankfully at the end of December the new baby will come along to keep me plenty busy while Jaidyn and Colin are at school. :) Everything has been going great with the kids. They are growing up so fast. Colin is super excited to have a baby brother. Jaidyn was very upset at first that it is a boy, but I think as time goes on she is getting better about it. As much as I love being a stay at home mom, it is very hard having Eric gone all the time. His schedule Thurs-Mon from 4 a.m to 12:30 p.m. So he doesn't come home at all on the days he works. He gets home Monday after work and has to go back Wed evening. So we only see him 2 days a week. It is very hard, but the thought of him driving back and forth scares me too much. So I would rather him get to stay down, even if that means we don't get to see him much. Thankfully my mom and Andrea are here or it would be really hard for me being alone all the time. Well thats all I can post for now. I am sure I am missing alot of things, but as I remember, I will update. :)

But you are my best friend ever...
those are the words that came out of Colin's mouth today as he was crying to Jaidyn because she wouldn't play with him.lol It was seriously the funniest thing. Even though I did feel bad that he really just wanted to play with Jaidyn and she wanted nothing to do with him.
I have been off of work since Friday and it has been nice to spend so much time with the kids. Although I have to say that their attitudes lately are really not very good. They are constantly calling me a dumb idiot when I don't let them do what they want. Jaidyn is the worst. I just don't even know what to do to make her stop being so mean. I am constantly sending her to her room for a time out and it doesn't seem to help at all.
Today I wanted to go to Caliente to get a few things and so Eric and the kids came along. We went to Family Dollar to get a few things and then went and ate some lunch. It was nice just to get out of the house even though we really didn't do much of anything.lol The kids seemed to have a good time too.
Being home for 4 days in a row has really made me sad to know I have to go back to work on Thursday. Being home with the kids all the time and seeing all the funny things they do all day makes me sad that I can't be here with them all day everyday. Hopefully soon enough Eric will get the job at the airport and then I won't have to work anymore. It is taking forever for him to get this job and it is really frustrating. I am just hoping it is all worth it in the end.

After a week...
of all of us being sick in this house, I think we are finally all getting better. Colin is still coughing, but he is feeling MUCH better and Jaidyn and I are also.
I was supposed to start at the Speedway today, but had to call to tell them I couldn't work there. I will still work there for the big events, but I just won't be able to work there all the time. I actually feel relieved knowing that I will be able to be home with my kids on the days that I don't work at Rapport. Sometimes I feel like with work, I hardly get to spend time with them.
On Saturday...my mom and I drove my grandma to the airport. She is going to Tennessee for a couple of weeks to visit her sister. We had to leave here at 5:30 in the morning. :( We picked up Jamie and dropped grandma off at the airport. Then we headed over to Black Bear Diner for breakfast. They seriously have the best biscuits and gravy EVER! After that we headed to Target to get some of our shopping done. After we were done we dropped Jamie back at home and went to Costco. My mom and I were all done and headed back to Alamo by 12:30. I couldn't believe we were done that early. We were both exhausted though so I was glad we were getting home early. I went to bed so early that night and slept for 12 hours. I felt so good when I woke up yesterday morning. I was in need of some good sleep.
Eric has been so awesome lately. He took care of me when I was sick and even cleaned the showers yesterday so that I wouldn't have to do it. He is such an awesome husband. Even though sometimes I want to slap him, he really is the best!!

It's been so long.
I just realized that I hadn't posted anything in over a year. That is just crazy. I went private for a while because I had some creepers that kept leaving me comments. Anyways I decided to go public again and hopefully I can keep this updated more often.
So much has changed since I last posted anything. Eric lost his job at the Ferrari dealership last January and still hasn't found anything. He has been applying at tons of places and still hasn't found anything yet. He applied at the airport in Vegas and they did the final tests and interview and he passed everything so hopefully he will get hired there soon.
Since I last posted we have been to St. Louis and Illinois twice to visit Eric's parents and go to some Cardinals games. We also went to Disneyland on Thanksgiving with my whole family. Except my dad couldn't go. Even my grandma who is 81 years old went with us and we all had a blast. The kids loved going with the whole family and I have to say that getting to spend Thanksgiving at Disneyland with my family was so much fun.
Since Eric hadn't had any luck finding a job, I decided to go put in my application at a few places around town. About 2 weeks later I got a call from Rapport and they wanted to hire me as a housekeeper. That came at just the right time. I started in September and about 3 weeks after starting I had to take my first class LB1. At Rapport they have about 4 or 5 different classes that people take and in order to work there we have to take all of them. I was SOOO nervous and as much a I hated the class in the beginning, I learned so much from it and I can tell that it changed me as a person to have more confidence in myself. I made alot of friends that weekend and I am so grateful for all of them.
I decided I needed to try and find another part time job on my days off. The speedway is hiring part time and I used to work there in ticketing. I still go to work there for the big racing events. So they told me to come to work there on my days off. I am excited/nervous. I am just glad that I have been so lucky to find work since Eric hasn't had any luck at all. He has been trying so hard and I feel bad. As much as I hate being away from my kids, I know this is what I need to do right now and I know that eventually I will be able to stay home with them again. I was supposed to start at the speedway today, but I have bronchitis so I guess I will be starting next Monday because I work at Rapport this week.
Christmas came and went and it was a wonderful Christmas. The kids got lots of good presents and had a blast. Colin's 3rd birthday fell about a week later. I can't believe my baby is 3. It is definitely time for another. I just realized the other day that if things would have went as planned we would have been having another baby this month. CRAZY. Everything happens for a reason so I know when the time is right we will have another one. Jaidyn is turning 5 in March and it seriously makes me want to cry.
I am sure I am forgetting some things but this will have to do for now. :)
