My Ride... Oh the Joys

Yep, this is my car. It is old, 1996 to be exact, it is faded black and it is ugly. I think I have actually learned which songs from my cd's come after another because I have no am/fm right now so I get to listen to a lot of cd's. I don't care about the year,color or even how nice it is because I needed a car and I needed it like 3 weeks before we got it so, along as this car got me from point A to point B, I was fine. My car now has no AC because it just stopped working. We tried to re-charge it but that was un-successful. Let me tell you about my day... Today Brandon has his orientation for the stupid class he has to take so I though that I would put a note in his truck while he was in class to get his mind off the class when he was done and because I love him and love giving him notes. I get all the kids in the car and try to start my car and it won't start. This is sometimes normal, we think it is due to the after market alarm that was put in the car. I call Rickman to come help me get it started but he was at the store and I was already short on time so I lifted the hood and wiggle wire around wondering,'' Is this going to shock me if I touch it?'' I get back in the car and woo hoo, it started. I make it to where Brandon's class is 2 minutes before he was supposed to get out, put the note in his truck, pull out and the car starts to sputter so I pulled into the parking lot acrossed the street and my car wouldn't start so I start thinking again to myself,'' Oh great, now he I am stranded, I wanted to surprise my husband but the now I'm going to get caught and it won't be a surprise... This totally sucks,'' Casey asked me,'' Mom are you talking to yourself AGAIN?'' That was a great feeling. The car finally started and I was at the intersection, I had a green light, feeling good when all of the sudden... My car dies AGAIN. Luckily it starts right back up. I start driving again, I get down the road and... My Car dies again except I was able to pull into Ashley's Furniture. I wait like 10 minutes,wiggle wires again, get back into the car and I hear Jared say,'' What mom?'' Then I hear Casey say,'' She's not talking to you Jared, she is talking to herself again.'' I was thinking oh dang am I doing that again? Its great. Again, the car starts and I finally make it home... Woo freaking Hoo. A 20 minute thing turned into an hour. Casey told he me that he hates this stupid cheap car. It is so embarrassing when it dies on us. I told him that until he gets a job he will ride in what I drive...lol. This car decided today that it doesn't want me driving it and I am starting to not want to but considering that I only paid 1450.00 for it and I don't have a payment, I will fix it to where it doesn't pull stunts on me like that again. I do love my car tho. I love making memories in the car but not those kind of memories...lol

Texas

As you all know we moved to Texas... Yay!!! I love it here. Rickman flew to Arizona the night of February 11th to help us load up and to help me drive back since we believe in just driving straught through and the afternoon of the 13th Rickman, me and my youngest, Anthany left to head to Texas. Brandon was just finishing up putting the tranny in his truck so him and our other 2 boys were only supposed to leave 4 hours after me. Poor Brandon, he had problem after problem after problem with the truck so needless to say I didn't get to see Brandon, Casey and Jared until the 17th, it totally sucked. We had to stay with Brandon and Hollian for two weeks until the place I wanted was ready. It is so nice being in our own home, it has been about 2 years since it has just been us as a family, it is either us living with someone or someone living with us. We have an older home but it has been kept us really nice. It is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car garage. Its so funny because our home looks identical to Rickman and Hollians home just flipped...lol. Casey is not adjusting well, it has been a really slow process for him and I feel horrible. The first week of school Casey had to see a guidance counselor because he was an emotional wreck. Jared on the other hand loves school and hates coming home from school. Casey I am afraid is extremely depressed, he misses his family and friends in Arizona. He is constantly asking to call aunt Brandi, Aunt Ginger, Aunt Mandy, grandma and grandpa etc... Poor kid. The other night he was crying in his room so I went in there to see what the problem was and he said with tears flowing down his face,'' I just want to be normal again, I hate the new me, I want to be the normal me that I used to be in Overgaard.'' I told him he can be normal and get over being so far away by making friends and doing more then thinking about things that reminds him of our old home. He is getting better, there has been alot less sleepless nights, thank heavens. I don't have pictures but those are soon to come.

A Prayer Request!!!

I have a friend named Halee Summit. She had her first little child at 17, a little boy named Damien. Due to a complication while being pregnant with Damien the doctors told her that she should not get pregnant again. Very soon after Damien being she got pregnant with her daughter Peyton. This pregnancy left her wondering if she was even going to be able to make it to full term. Halee had Peyton at 25 weeks she weighed a very small 1 pounds 5 ounces. The doctors again tell Halee not to get pregnant, this pregnancy almost killed her and peyton. Again very soon after Peyton being born Halee got pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl named Heath and Christina. Halee had her twins at 23 weeks and 4 days due to complications. Heath weighed 1 pound and 10 and a half inches long and lived for only 2 hours and 33 minutes. Christina weighed 15 ounces and was 10 and 1/3 inches long and lived for only 3 hours and 17 minutes. Well Halee is doing ok, pregnant again with another set of twins, 2 baby girls. Halee has made past 23 weeks with these babies and hopefully she keeps going. A little while ago Halee's little boy was diagnosed with cancer, I am un sure what type of cancer. Damien has died a couple times but has been resestated. March 6, 2010 only 2 years old Damien passed away, he could not hold on any longer. Peyton also has been sick with some health problems but is doing ok. Please pray for Halee, her fiance and her un born baby girls. Halee is young, but she loves her kids. I don't know if Halee was doing anything to prevent these pregnancies that the doctor has told to but knowing Halee she was trying to prevent it, some people are just very fertile. I don't know how Halee holds it together because after losing 3 kids especially 1 that she has had the pleasure of raising and loving and to take care of for 2 years, to know his personality and then to lose him would kill me. Im so sorry Halee for you losses, I love you and I pray you make it to a safe delivery with these twins and that everything goes your way.
