Ginger

Boy did we have a bad start at things. It's hard to think about things you know? What kinds of things affect people different ways. Katie and the others (especially katie though) have begged us for years for a dog. Well we tried when we first moved in here but well, Buddy was insane. So we found him a new home. But we thought a dog that was between 1 and 2 and housebroken would be a great option for us. I wanted a lap dog. Not a small dog but one that would lay at your feet and sleep. With 4 kids it gets hectic enough but stupid us got a shepard mix and a australian cattle dog mix. Well guess what? The old owners of the shepard wanted the dog back! I was stunned! We were going to rehome ginger cause she was crazy! But you know what? things happen for a reason. Katie got 50.00 from them to help her and I know to help soften the blow. But instead of getting another dog (hell no!) we allowed katie to spoil Ginger. So ginger got a bunch of stuff and is now laying here happily (and quietly i may add) at Katies feet on the floor by the couch. She's such a good girl and loves the kids. So I'm happy. Now I just have to figure out I never told those people where I live so how do they know where I lived?? lol

Ok pictures!

Finding friends :) (it's Trouble with the snake lol)

They were slow dancing! lol aren't they cute!

All I want is my 2 front teeth!

Lazy friends

Am I supposed to eat this?

Why not me?

Ok, this is just a vent. I'm no means going to do this lol. I"m normal and SANE. But maybe I should take fertility drugs (anyone that knows me knows i don't have to do that) and have 8 babies on top of my struggling 4 and maybe I'll get a new house and nurses to help me care for them for free! Maybe then my hard working husband can not look for a job and someone else will take care of us! You know that octomom is a selfish b*****. she used tax payers money to have the ivf treatments, had them implant 6 had 8 babies and now everything is being handed to her! On a GOLD platter!

We are a struggling family. 4 young girls and it's hard! That woman had no business having those babies! I can see a family planning accident with one baby not working but 8?? She saved her CHILDRENS disability money and used it for ivf treatments and had 8 more? Not working, with no cares about her other 6 children 3 of which are disabled? Come on now!!

This is why people get angry. My husband is a hard worker, he's a good provider. He does the best he can. We can't afford day care. By the time I get clothes, a car, gas, food and a job with daycare it'll cost more to work than I would bring home! It's not worth it! Plus he wants me home with the kids! And I do too! I do a little side stuff (digi scrapping, surveys) that helps with gas sometimes. It's not a lot but it helps. I don't save my childrens money and spend it on myself for selfish things!

Why not buy me a house? Why not take care of my children? Why don't I deserve it? Now my normal sane brain knows people aren't doing this for her they are doing it for the babies and yes they deserve it. But the other side (my heart) just can't understand why we can't catch a break when we are honest, loving hard working parents! My husband looses his job, can't find anything else and we just bought our trailer and a van! If they would have been honest with us 2 weeks ago we hadn't done that!

So you tell me. What is this Octomom going to learn? I bet they'll be out of that house soon. She won't be able to afford the taxes on it. I pray for those babies because they will have a miserable life. No mother by herself can raise 14 kids with help. And i'm not talking nanny help either!

Wow! Ups and downs and it even throws us side to side!

Here is our new "ride"! We finally got a new van! Our old one is just about to bite the dust. We weren't going to get a van but then Josue started complaining and I dug my feet in. It was me that didn't want it. I love our van and it was breaking my heart! But I was digging around for jobs yesterday in Craigslist and found this. We got an incredible deal on it. It's 3 years newer than ours and drives like it's brand new! It has some minor issues but nothing mechanical so hey we can fix the other things up :)

The kids are doing great. Katie had strep for the 5th time this year and she's getting over it finally. Thank God. The other three are doing great. It's been a pretty good day. Tomorrow we get the rest of the money and then we pick up our van! Can you hear the little squel at the end!? It was so sad, we worked our buts off to get the other one and it meant a lot to us. But we can look on the bright side, another van to make good family memories in!
