I promised Auntie Sandy I would post recital pics

I plum forgot. Here they are.
They had it at a church this year since the school was too small and the big recital is at a huge auditorium. This was just a Christmas program. They danced to Holly Jolly Christmas. The girls with Savannh are of course Maddie May and then her best friend from school Sydney. The whole program was LONG but she was adorable.

My Family

I love my sweet, sweet Family!! On Christmas, I got up and left the room Hmmmmm bad idea. I come back in and everyone is laughing very hard. I can't figure it out. My uncle said my camera was turned on they were trying to fix it. So, I just looked at my Christmas pics and I found a bunch I thought I would share with the world!! The first one is of my dear Aunt Mary Lee, you can see me in the background walking into the room wondering what was going on LOL :) The pics were too pretty to just keep to myself.

Here are my wonderful Aunt and Uncle Sandy and Jerry :)


Then theres Mark

My lovely Lovely Mother!!

Stress Owooooooo

Over Christmas break, my oldest son, who has never, ever been a liar. Has turned into a huge, huge liar. This makes me so very sad. He has been grounded from the phone for his grades. He got a girlfriend, his grades fell drastically. For all of his life, if his grades are bad, we take away the thing that is eating up most of his time and preventing him from doing homework. This year it was the phone. We have caught him sneaking around calling Alex. Okay, normal stuff. So I told him the other day, he could call her and talk the day after Christmas. I said for an hour. I mean that's enough time. They haven't talked. 3 to 4 hrs later, he is still on the phone. Okay, it's after Christmas, I let that one slide. The next day I hear him in his room on the phone with someone. Alex, but he lies says he was not talking to her. I take the phone. The other day, I told him he could talk for 10 minutes to tell her something. 1 hr later I go up and he is STILL on the phone with her. So I ground him for an additional 2 weeks from the phone, and he's not allowed to myspace her or IM her for lying. We are all asleep come downstairs, computer was on. He says, he wasn't online. AOL has this billing thing where it shows your whole account activity. I know exactly when he's been on. He told me that thing lies. Not him. So we want to go to Kohls last night. He doesn't want to go. I give him strict instructions of no phone and no computer. No conversing with Alex, til all this dies over. I even emailed with her and she promised she wouldn't sneak. I took the phones with me because that is too tempting. I get home Juan on puter Alex IMs him says Anthony got on and talked to Jessica, those 2 aren't very smart. I wouldn't of even checked activity, because I would like to think I can trust him. So I check activity and he logged in a few times on Juans acct and talked to her. I showed him the statement, the proof, the times we were gone he still says "That thing lies" So they aren't going to be able to talk for a very long time now. If they would just of obeyed my rules and not been disrespectful they could've seen each other this week, talked on the phone next week. But no, rules had to be broken and then lied to over and over. Blantant lack of disrespect. He needs to learn that in the real world, you have rules you have to follow and if you break those rules you have consequences. Tough lesson to learn, but we all have to learn it.
ARGH teenagers.

Owooooo

I promise a new post tomorrow!! nothing really going on. Savannah back into brady bunch, asked for a hooker again . That girls a hot freaking mess. So anywhoo I promise an update tomorrow, we are all still alive!!
Love,

Christmas Morning

My son Juan is always eating. The kids are opening presents, Juan is stuffing his face

Savannah with her fishin pole

The dogs this morning were hilarious. Anytime someone would open a gift they would run over to them, give them a paw or lick them in the face. It was so funny. They wanted to be a part of the action and were!! Here is Opie giving Juan his paw as he is picking up a gift LOL

Vannah thanking Anthony for her My Little Pony

Savannah opening a gift Hmmmmmm can't see her

I opened up gingerbread flavored peeps and this is what came my way

Claire and her toy walking around in the chaos

Early training for Savannah. I'm still unbeatable

Wanted in on the gingerbread Peep action.

Savannah got an easel and I showed her how to play win lose or draw LMBO mine is Run for the Roses LOL

She went ALOT slower than I did, she wanted to take 5 or more minutes a pic. Vs 30 seconds Owooo!! LOL I had to tell her the point was to draw and guess quickly. Hers was a girl with a sun burn!! LOL Too cute

Saturday

I slept in, got up, played a bit of Toontown, thought it was going to be a nice relaxing day. Nope. Kyle decided it would be a good day to argue. I tried not to argue, I really, really did. It's 3 days before Christmas. I'm tired. I'm stressed. I didn't need anymore issues.
Merry Christmas Di, you got issues for Christmas.
Ho Ho Ho

Just what I always wanted!!

I just wanna be left alone.

Happy Saturday

Barely awake on Friday

Yesterday went so good, then last night.....I go crawl in bed, Savannahs restless and cranky. I get up and she said she itches, turn on the light and ugh, Hives and swelling. I freaked of course, cause I have the tendancy to do that. Ran downstairs called pharmacist which in turn told me to call Dr. She's allergic to the Ominicef. That's frustrating on 2 counts. The first is that's a really good antibiotic and she's running out of options for meds treating her ear infections. The second is OMG it freaked me out.
We got zero sleep. Fell asleep about 3 a.m woke up at 4:30 with her tossing and turning in every direction itching and scratching. About 5:30 I finally drifted off for 3 hrs. This morning I feel like a zombie and I have a ton of stuff to do.
UGH, If you guys could've seen her rash and how swollen it was. I'm no good in emergencies on my own kids. Other peoples, I can handle. Not my own.
Keep her in your prayers because I don't know what they are going to do for her now.
:(
Love,
Di

Happy Thursday!

:P LMBO!!
Hope everyone is well this close to Christmas. Savannahs been very sick. Her ear again very, very bad off. Screaming in pain. Close to rupturing. Not sure if it did or not. She's on extremely strong antibiotics right now. I have a nice cold. YEE HAW!! I am sooooooooooo stuffed up and got the sniffles. Owooooo!! I do not like it Sam I am, I do not like sniffles, but I do love ham. I'm ready to be well. I am terrified it will go into dizziness again, but I am equipped with antivert. I read on the internet that you can very rarely get labrynthitis again. So lets hope so!!

Ummmmm......Last night I was up very late. I couldn't sleep. I didn't want to go to sleep because I was feeling okay and I was afraid if I went to sleep that I would wake up feeling horrible and I was scared. I woke up today and wow, what can I say but it's been a very fulfilling day. Much better than I could of ever expected.

Thank God for friends. :) Special, special ones.

Happy Thursday

Sunday rolls into Monday

It's after midnight. I'm tired. We all are sick. Headcolds, coughing. Savannah has ran a fever all day. She's achey and tired. Cranky. Fever has been high. Sigh. So keep us all in prayers that it goes away quickly.
I'll post pics in the morning of her recital.
My sweet baby girl.

Saturday

Ugh, I'm stressed, it's Saturday morning. Savannah has a recital, I have to fight and fight with her to fix her hair. That's part of the reason we cut it. She literally has screamed for 30 min cause I had to braid her hair. Kicking, screaming. Grrr!!
Anthony and I who never argue, got into a huge fight last night. He was supposed to go to the movies with his girlfriend, is grounded from the phone. I gave him 5 minutes to IM her and ask her what's up. 10 minutes goes by and the power goes out and he starts freaking out saying that she is going to be mad at him and he has to hurry and apologize to her cause she will be mad at him. So the power comes back on, I give him a few more minutes and tell him times up. I gave him 20 minutes and in that time they didn't discuss the movie. Not my fault. So we get in a huge fight and I tell him that he shouldn't worry that much about her being mad at him. I mean good grief, he can't help some of this stuff. Anyways, it got ugly. I was in a very bad mood.
Kyle and I are tiffing back and forth. Not the magnitude that it was, but still back and forth bickering. Alot of it is me. I'm extremely angry still at the things that were said to me.
Savannah and I are sharing a twin bed. She kicks and kicks me. I went to bed last night before 10, that's a new record.
Dizziness is still coming and going. We all have head colds from the drastic weather change.
Oh a cute thing. Last night, Savannah and I were crawling into bed and she was only wearing underwear. I said "Savannah, you need to get on a shirt, if you wear no shirt to sleep, you will wake up with a chest cold" she thought for a minute, dug in her drawers, got a shirt out, put it on. She then reopened her drawers and said "I guess I better put some pants on, so I don't get a leg cold too"
Ha ha!! So flipping cute.
I'll share pics of her recital when we return home.
Happy Saturday. Be safe on the slick roads!

This is going to make no sense to you normal folks!!

I woke up from the strangest dream.........Oh Good grief, good luck to any interpreters out there. I dreamed we lived down at the old house in Butchertown, I was in a car being chased and there was a traffic cop at the corner there by Bakers Square.........It was the Pope and he was trying to assassinate me. I was so scared. He didn't have on his papal robe, but he had on the beanie and a hunting vest. He kept shooting at me and missing. So I run onto the back patio and I couldn't get the gate unlatched and limos and such were flying around me. I got in, mom is cooking steaks, I tell her they are trying to kill me. Mark runs upstairs and gets dressed in the funkiest hunting attire and goes to the roof. Meanwhile mom tells me she got us reservations at Embassy Suites and we should be safe there. So I am running all over the place, trying to find car to get to Embassy Suites.
What the heck kind of dream was that??????
I mean of all people the Pope???? In his beanie?????
Oh man...steak was good though.
Happy Thursday.
Good grief.

Gingerbread man

Last night, Myself, Anthony and Savannah decided to make a Gingerbread house and some peanutbutter cookies. The kids really wanted to do it themselves so I let them do the whole thing LOL, here are some pics. Claire bear was doing her best to get some of that house.......I sat on the floor to take pics and was fussing at Claire for eating the candy that fell on the floor, when a head pops out, pics below. Wrong dog LOL, he has that busted look on his face. The chimney fell off and Savannah is sooooo cute, she said "The Chimney Cricket fell off" :)Juan didn't want to help, but eventually came down, to tell us all we were doing it wrong, picked up a hand full of candy, tossed it at the roof, gave the gingerbread man male parts and then left. OwoooooO!!!

Bfast with Santa, Cuteness, Improper display of huge inflatable and PLUMBING!

Okay, lets start by saying, when you volunteer to work breakfast with Santa make sure you know what you are getting into......I thought 50 to 100 kids, piece of cake. Okay...... I wasn't prepared for hundreds of kids and they stick me smack dab in the Santa Shop. Kids grabbing stuff, filling out clip board receipts. Kids asking for this thing and that thing and all shoving their clip boards in thousands of directions. Good grief! I was unprepared for that. Here's Savannah telling Santa she wants a Guitar and a barbie doll and that's it.


She's the light of my day today. So very sweet and cute.
Okay, so driving to my moms, if this isn't the most redneck display of a Christmas decoration. Having a parking lot for a front yard, is bad enough, but displaying decos like that. Holy Toledo, what were these people thinking? I had my camera from the Santa bfast and of course had to snap a pic. That's insane.

OOF they have a door!!

Okay, the roof leak last week....... thought that took the icing on the cake, til the toilet overflowed with laundry soap and bubbles. Our carpet is ruined. Water, everywhere. Everything backed up to the toilet. Plumber is here now, on a Saturday night, charging a fortune for pulling up the toilet to access the sewers. They think its roots. Couldn't be a pair of dropped panties like my moms LOL has to be something like roots. I am so at my wits end, I could scream. I see no one took my black cloud. Please, please TAKE IT!. I'm so frustrated. That's all I can say.

Happy Saturday, ticking down the minutes plumber is here since he's making a small fortune as they pass.

Good Grief.
