Precious moments and memories.

January 28th 2010,

Well today was ok i ache all over my body usually along with muscle spasms from my fibromyalgia it makes things that much worse. I woke up and realized that the dishwasher hadn't been ran only after i got out a cup and it was dirty, gotta love those teenagers huh. I try to look online everyday for a dog or puppy for 2 of my girls birthday that happens to be the same day but they are 2 years apart. I think i have found Nicky's (turning age 16) she wants to be surprised we already have a 4 year old corgi and a 4 short hair chihuahua. but the girls want one of their own not mom's (chihuahua) or dad's. But the one i found online that is free to a good home is a 7 month old corgi!!! I think that this would be a perfect fit for our family. As for Courtney we were going to get a 1/2 chihuahua !/2 datsun pup from a friend of hers but I have now idea whats going on with that since they aren't talking right now. My girls are all very different from each other, Breena-Dee is the oldest she is 19 she is living with her grandmother in Kansas, she can't handle alot of stress but my mom calls me and says she is the one that is stressed and i don't blame her either. Breena wants to be a chef however she does have trouble sometimes with school work and its taking her a bit longer to get her high school diploma cause she dropped out of school last year and she is going to an alternative school this year to get her diploma and i know she will achieve all her dreams she just has to study and work hard and she will get there. My second oldest Nicky is 15 she has very high goals for herself she is a sophmore and has taken a bio-medical course where she dissected a human heart, she wants to be a pediatrician or an obgyn, her doctor talked to her about it and told her that since she expressed wanting to do both that she could if she went into family medicine. Nicky has always gotten excellent grades and is a very smart and i am proud that she takes pride in herself, her life and her religon, ever since she was a baby she didnt like a mess when she learned to crawl she started find lil pieces of paper or wrappers and she would grab them sit up and hand it to me like it was in her way or something and it would be the only thing on the floor, She was also easy to break from the bottle after she turned 18 months i put a new liner in the trash can, got all her bottles out and i let her pick out just one her favorite and then i put the trash can in between she and i and as she threw a bottle away she would tell it bye-bye. And my 3rd daughter Kimmy she is 15, she is a step-daughter but i raised her as my own for a long time, she lives with her mom in nebraska and does get to come for christmas and summer breaks. She is very outgoing and loves life and trys to live it to the fullist extent, she dislikes her mom but who doesn't, she also likes to be the loudest one in the bunch and the life of the party. Even though Nicky and Kimmy aren't blood sisters they have always been closei used to have their cribs sitting end to end and Kimmy was on Enfamil and Nicky was on Prosobee (she is lactose intolerant) if i got them bottles in the middle of the night and gave the wrong one to them they would taste it and trade them on their own it was soo cute. Then there is my 4th daughter Courtney she is 13 going on 30, she is the one i taught to speak her mind and not to be afraid of doing so.. she just takes it to the extreme and along side her adhd it isn't a good thing, when she takes her meds she is a very helpful and nice girl. i am trying to teach her what tact is, and she has learned alot. Courtney is the "miracle child" I had the birth control Norplant that was supposed to last five years but after 2 years i found out that i was pregnant, the doctors didn't know for sure how far along i was so they estimated, When i had her she was appoximatly 3 months premature. she only weighed 2lbs 7oz. And i know that the saying "dynamite comes in small packages" it truly does. The Momma's girls are Breena and Nicky, They hate to see momma hurting or anything and they are the ones that come to me for whatever even if its just to talk for awhile.  Kimmy and Courtney are the Daddy's girls, Oh how they love their dad..i have to say that i dont understand the bond between them but its strong. As for me well i just try to sit back and enjoy, it seems like only yesterday that my girls were toddlers, i guess time flies when your not looking. So i guess that is my thoughts and my advice for today is to take a step back and just watch your kids for a few minutes and look at each one and remember a precious moment that you have about each one and then...smile
