Just having a little fun on neopets. Supposedly I'm like the Air Fairie....which is i guess could be kind of true....sometimes it takes a little time for things to land.

Isaac is finally playing Modern Warfare 2 online. He can't have his X-box online at his dad's house but we have ours online so he plays here. He has been playing since aound 5 this afternoon and he is on Level 13 so far. I played him in a private match and he kicked my butt. I played Elijah and I beat him once and that was the end of my winning streak. They really like playing the game and so do I. Ok. Elijah just walked in and he says I didn't beat him....I am starting to see a rematch in the not so distant future....stay tuned for more developments...

Just a quick update.....Duchess our 6 month old mastiff puppy is now 62.5 lbs. Pepper our 4 yr old husky mix is only 54.5 lbs. She has started to chance him around the yard now instead of the other way around.

Hubby went and got the new call of duty game modern warfare 2. Its really cool and no, i havent played it cause I don't even try. I just like watching the hubby and my 2 boys play it. I think the graphics are awesome, and the maps are way more involved than in the last one. I will tell you that the online play is harder (to me anyways) than the 1st game. Which is good, it intensifies the game. My oldest son Isaac is dying to play it but he has to wait until the next weekend to play it because we have it here and he doesn't have one at his Dad's house. I was thinking to taking the game up to him so he can start playing it. I know he is going to love it.

In family news.....I found out last week that my eldest sister Lori is back in jail. Yeah I said jail. She has been back in since September. A friend of hers called me. I guess she said something to him about calling me when he went to go see her. I can't blame her for not thinking of it sooner. She has a lot of difficulty in the mental area. And I'm not sure if she will ever get better. I keep thinking that if she lived up here closer to us we could help her more and make sure she does everything that she can to get herself better. She really doesn't have a support system where she is because her family-meaning me and our 2 other sisters-are all up here in ohio. Anyways, I found the # for where she is so I'm gonna call it to see how I can write to her. So I can let her know that we love her and are here for her when she is ready to need to us. I hope.

Oh yeah, My eldest son, Isaac got a 4.0 gpa on his report card. I'm so proud of him. I knew he could do it.

things are moving fast

Hey everyone. Just sitting here at home watching another episode of Law & Order criminal intent. Very good show. The season premieres of House and Heroes was absolutely entertainment at its best. I also watched the new show Eastwick and The Good Wife i enjoyed both of those which I know that one of them or both won't make it. You get hooked on a show and then they pull it. There are so many shows that I like and with my work schedule thank god for the DVR.

Our new mastiff puppy "Duchess" is doing great. She is 5 months old and she is almost bigger than our 4 yr old Husky mix "Pepper". It so funny watching them play together. Our 2 kitties chewy and fuzzy love her too. They will cuddle right up with her and sleep. They play with her tail and she just ignores them.

We did get the new Halo ODST game for xbox when it came out. Its a pretty cool game. I don't play them much anymore because it just hurts my hands too much. Hubby and my 2 teenage boys like playing it. I just watch and read my books.

I read The Time Travelers Wife it was very very good. It was hard to put it down, you want read more and more but Alas! one does have to sleep sometime. Speaking of sleepy Hubby is past out in his recliner. He is still in a lot of pain from his neck surgery its hard to sleep in the bed.

I think I might take a nap today. I don't work again until the morrow.

This is Duchess, an English Mastiff. She is the newest addition to our family. We got her from a breeder in Tennessee and she has been absolutely wonderful to have. She is very lovable as you can tell from the picture. She is 3.5 months old and weighs 35 lbs. Our other dog Pepper, a husky mix is 4 yrs old and weighs 50 lbs. So pretty soon she will weigh more than him. They get along great and the kitty cats are warming up to her especially Chewy.

well, the magellan name for one of my new kitty cats didn't stick. We finally came up with Chewy and Fuzzy and they suit them very well.

We took the kids to the Newport Aquarium today. It was fun. I got some good pictures of some of the underwater dwelling creatures. I will post them to flickr later if I can figure out how to get them off of the camera to the computer. Usually my hubby does it but he is asleep because he has to make the long trip back to Tennessee to take his nieces back home. They start school on the 7th. It was fun having 5 teenagers in the house. I think we spent more on food the last week and a half than Rob and I have in the last 6 months. OMG they can eat and I don't know where they put it.

I'm going to finally get to see my baby sister Julie on the 6th. We haven't seen each other in I know its been at least 4 years. The crazy thing about it is that we don't live that far apart. Maybe 2 hours. Its just been hard to keep in touch. With our lives having been really crazy the last couple of years with having to move every 6 months and just trying to keep our heads above water. Things are definitely alot better now. Having lived with some kind of family the last year and a half when you finally get the privacy that you need it just feels strange just being "us" again. Oh don't worry I'm not complaining just have to get used to it.

My vacation from work started yesterday and I'm going to enjoy every minute of it. I'm going to try to keep myself busy so I don't get bored though. Because last year when I went on my vacation after the 2nd day I was so bored I could barely stand it. Rob says I get like that because I'm a workaholic which I think is true. Even when I'm not at work I will call to make sure everything went okay especially if I closed the night before. I work for one of my local Krogers in customer service and I just love it. But at the end of this vacation they are moving me to another store. I don't know yet if it is temporary or permanent and I'm not sure which one I want it to be. I will need some time working at the new one to decide. It will be a slightly weird transition but I do make friends quite easily though and I definitely think that helps. I will certainly miss all my friends at my "old" store but I will see them from time to time. Especially My Summer, she is a great girl and we are really good friends. She does start college in about a month so we are going to have a party at the house before she goes. I will miss seeing her almost everyday but I know she will have fun and make some new friends at school.

Tomorrow is Rob and I's 8th wedding anniversary and He is going to be traveling. We were really looking forward to it this year because the last 2 anniversaries have sucked. Two years ago Rob had the accident and last year we had no means of celebrating.

We've been married for 8 years, together for 9 and in love for 10. It still feels like the it was just yesterday we told each other how we felt. He is the part of me that I was always missing. I was thinking the other night that with all the bad things thats has happened in my life that I just wasn't lucky but then I realized that I'm married to the love of my life, my kids are just the most awesome kids ever, and I'm finally back in touch with all my sisters. How much more luck does one person need?. I guess I needed to go through all that I did to make me see that the being lucky depends on whether you appreciate having what you need in your life and not just want you want. To me that is....

My Urban Jungle.

We went to the animal shelter and and got 2 new kitties. They are both orange tiger tabby. I just can't think of names for the them. I've always been able to pick out names for my cats, but this time they aren't coming to me. oooo.´®ΩuyzzzzzzzzzzzB V1BV ÏRD/T the following message brought to you by "Magellan" I finally came up with a name for one of our new kitties. Now I just have to think of one more. Oh and the reason behind Magellan is the fact that he just explores everything and very mischievous. It will suit him very much.

new new new

Well, we are finally back living in our own place again..thank god!! Its been a long time coming and I can say that it was worth the wait but the wait was the worse.

Everything is much better now.

We finally got a Macbook Pro and we absolutely LOVE IT!!!!! It has awesome features that I just love and I haven't even really messed with it yet. I do like the Garage Band program and so does my youngest son who is 14 now. We also got a PS3 and its fabulous and of course the boys love it. The X-box has nothing on it and we have one of those also.

We still have our doggy Pepper.

We have a new ride too. Its a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica. It has awesome features and rides great and does good on gas too. It has plenty of room for the all 5 of us and the dog. Its great on trips too. Last week Rob had to run down to Kentucky to get my sister Lori and bring her up her because we had an Aunt pass away and she needed to say her goodbyes too so Rob jumped in the car and 12 hours later was back with her in tow.

I am still working at a major grocery chain and I love it. I went through the training to become an Asst. Customer Service Manager and passed with flying colors. Now am I just waiting for my promotion to go through which hopefully will be soon because I've pretty much been doing the job for the last year or so.

I am sure I will start posting more often now that I have the means too.
