Good things do happen to good people.

My best friend Christie had an unfortunate thing happen to her. On July 4th,2007 there had been some pretty heavy rain in our area. Christie, along with 20+ families had to face the devastating effects that the rain brought early that morning. Like so many people Christie woke up to find her basement flooded with water.
I find it hard to understand why this happen to all of these families. They are all located on top of a hill so the water should have traveled down the hill instead of in their basements. I also noticed the road construction that had been going on right next to her home. They were supposed to be resurfacing the top of the street. I noticed the day before the big storm that the construction company's crew members had torn apart the storm drains and were doing some kind of work on them. All I know is that the letter that all the residents received before the road work stated that the work should take approx. 1wk. It has been over a month. To our surprise we found out that there was alot of debris in the storm drains all along the road being worked on, stuff that shouldn't have been there in the 1st place. I asked her in all of the years that she lived in her house did it ever flood at all? She said no. So I told her that it might not just be an act of nature, that someone else might be to blame. For example the construction company or even the City. As it turns out her neighbors all feel the same too.
Poor Christie, she had the worst of it in her basement. She got over 4ft. of water in her basement. All of her personal items and pictures she was saving were all ruined. Stuff that you just can't replace. Baby photos, cherished pictures, memories from the last 15yrs of her life ruined, gone. Washer, Dryer gone. Everything down there just completely destroyed.
Since that devastating day she has been a complete wreck. She has no way of really getting back what she lost. She rents the house she lives in and the landlord didn't have flood coverage included in the house's insurance. So Christie can't even get compensated for her loss. I really feel that it was the construction companies fault for every ones damage. I hope she gets something from all of this. She is a single mother trying to make it on her own and raise a wonderful little boy who doesn't understand why some of his toys and clothes got ruined. This has been such a difficult time for her and her son, and it really has taken a toll on them. She had to miss a lot of work in order to clean out the basement for the landlord, who of all people only made things worse for her. At one point the landlord said that she should not of had so much stuff in the basement. She was very upset with Christie because there was so much stuff that the landlord had to pay to have a special removal. She was in such a hurry to clean up the stuff and get rid of it that she started throwing Christies stuff out even the stuff that was salvageable. She even had the nerve to curse her out and disrespect Christie, and tell her she had to move. I understand the landlord's frustration with everything, but Christie lost more stuff, than the landlord, things nobody can replace. Eventually the landlord apologized for her own actions but it doesn't take back the mental anguish that she bestowed on her. Christie didn't deserve to be treated so cruelly. She was so depressed that she actually thought about taking her own life. With the loss of her belongings and the mental anguish, it was all becoming too much to handle. I did my best to be there for her in her time of need, I wanted to help out more, but she wouldn't let me since I'm pregnant. I did made it a point to be there for her,and to try and lift her spirits and keep her mind off of the bad thoughts. I feel like I helped. Today Christie was very depressed because she has exhausted all of her savings and was finding it hard to make ends meet, but out of the blue an angel came to her rescue and helped her in a way I could not. She received a phone call from the Dispatch, a local newspaper company and they told her that a man heard about her story and wanted to help her specifically. He gave a cash donation and told her that he hopes it helps her until she gets something from the insurance company either from the construction company or the city or both. Only time will tell, she may not get nothing. He wanted to remain anonymous, I believe that the bank said that if she wanted to thank this mystery she could give it to them and they would see to it that he received her appreciation and thanks.
She never expected that anyone would help her and she never asked for any charity of any kind, but this donation couldn't have come at a better time for her and her son, it will help her tremendously. She received $500. from this person and is eternally grateful. She wishes that she could meet this person, to tell him face to face how much he just helped her and her son. Since she can't she will send him her thanks, she respects his need for privacy. I'm just so happy that there are people out there like this person willing to give what they can to help someone out in their time of need. If anybody needed the help the most it was Christie. I wish I could thank him as well, he helped in a way that I couldn't and I am grateful too.
So if your out there and you happen to read my blog then you know who you are and we send our thanks and appreciation out to you. Thanks for your help, you made such an incredible difference. Words can't truly explain how thankful they are.

Lazy Days

Well in the past few days I have been real lazy lately. I haven't really wanted to do any thing. I feel like such a bad parent. I have even bee slacking around the house. It's not bad but still I can do better. I am just so tired all of the time and I just sleep. I guess this is normal for when your pregnant, I just remember having more energy when I was pregnant with my daughter. I am not even that old. I am only 26 yrs. old. Well I haven't been sleeping that well, I feel like I should move my bed into my bathroom since I am in it practically 90% of the time. At least it feels that way. I am very thank full that my daughter has been so understanding with me. It is actually quite surprising since she is stuck inside most of the time and she is only 6yrs old. She does talk me into playing games with her since I won't let her play outside when I can't be out there to supervise her. She seems to think that she can play out there by herself, but I say no. Really she is still to young to be out by herself and have no adult supervision. My luck she would go home with a stranger if I wasn't out there with her. Or she would get beat up by the other kids because she has this I don't want to share thing with other peoples toys including her own toys. Well kids will be kids. So far this week I have been blessed with rain so she can't ask to play outside. I do plan on taking her out to the park and swimming this weekend so hopefully she won't be too disappointed in me. Well I will quit complaining and I will talk to you all later so in the mean time take care.

Boring weekend.

I had a pretty boring weekend, I really didn't do that much. I worked some extra hours but really I did nothing. My friend Brenda took me to see the Backwater Gamblers. It is a water show, where they do tricks on water skis. I didn't really get to enjoy it because I am not feeling the best. It's this whole pregnancy thing. I have a lot of pregnancy issues. Nothing serious just what you would expect and it is making me very uncomfortable. Tell you the truth I forgot what it felt like since it has been 7yrs since I have been pregnant. Hopefully I will feel better enough to do something fun with my daughter this week and this weekend. Well I don't really have much else to talk about that isn't complaining like a sissy. So until next time take care and have a good day.

Nothing new... maybe a little new.

I really don't have much to say. I had and ultrasound on 7-9-07, the baby is doing very well. It is just growing like it should be. I am almost 15 weeks pregnant with my second baby. I can feel it move too. All I feel is fluttering and little nudges from the inside, I can't wait until you can see it move through my abdomen. On a different subject my job at Lowe's is gone after the 13th, they are cutting hours and a lot of people are getting laid off. Well I am cool with it. I knew that the job was seasonal and that it can go at any time. I still have my other job at Help At Home Inc. All I need to do is just ask for more hours. I kept this job just for the whole lay off reason. I needed to stay employed continuously. Plus I didn't want to go through the whole rehire process and lose my pay that I earned over the years. I have been given more hours to start next week so I am glad that I won't be losing too much money. Well I will quit boring you all and I will talk to you all next time. So I hope that you have a wonderful day in the mean time.

My scary lunch encounter.

Today 2 of my friends and I went to the Olive Garden for lunch to eat their unlimited soup, salad and bread sticks. I had been begging my friends to go there for our work lunch for 2 weeks and we finally went. Everything was going great, our waitress was a little slow but she had a lot of other customers to tend to. I was eating the rest of my bread stick and I felt a hard crunch on my teeth. For a minute I thought that may be for some reason I might have chipped my tooth on the bread stick. Don't ask me why I thought this, I am pretty stupid when I am pregnant; well that is how I feel all of the time. Anyway I pull it out of my mouth and went to wipe it on one of my plates when it poked me almost cutting my finger. So I took a closer look and it and realized that it was a small piece of glass. So I left the table and went to one of the associates that seats you when you enter. They asked my where I was sitting and got the manager for me. While I was sitting and waiting I found another piece on the table with the crumbs from the bread sticks. I showed the manager both pieces, and I showed her which one I pulled from out of my mouth. She asked me if I got cut at all. I said no, but I kept feeling around in my mouth for more pieces and she would keep asking me if I got cut. I said I wonder how many pieces I might have ate before I found that one. One of my friends Christie said, Hey she is very concerned because she is pregnant. I said yes it's true and that can't be good if I ate any. The manager gave us all our lunch for free and she gave us new salad plates and me a $30 gift card. When I got my new plate I freaked out because I thought that there was more of the glass on my plate but my friend and the waiter told me that it was ice because they freeze their salad plates. Thank god it was just ice, I really couldn't eat much after that because I was too nervous and scared. It is just terrible that our lunch ended the way that it did, at least I didn't get hurt, and I hope that I didn't eat any more pieces without realizing because I don't want to hurt my unborn baby. I'm sure I'll be fine. Well until next time have a great day!

Oh what a boring day.

Hello. Today has been very uneventful for me. Pretty much just blah. I went to my first job today and I took care of an elderly woman. All I do for this client is clean and talk to her. Since I only see her once a week we always have stuff to tell each other to catch up from our last visit. After my time ended with her I went to my other job where I work in the lawn and garden center at Lowes. For the most part is was boring and very hot. I got sick pretty quick, this is the part of pregnancy that I dislike oh so very much. I can't wait until I can feel the baby move. Any way back to the blah. I ended up spending most of my time trying to stay cool and keep from getting sick. My friend and co-worker did her best to assist me in staying cool. She bought me a big bottle of water and let me take a short breaks the break room where it is nicely air conditioned. My daughter had a better day than me. She got to go on a field trip with her day care center. They went to lake story and went swimming and had a picnic and just played. I would have loved to go with but of course I had to work. Kids have it so good. Well that's okay I plan on having a fun weekend, even if it rains all weekend we can still go to the YMCA and swim indoors. Well I am done boring everyone so until next time I hope you all have a wonderful day.

My Poor Baby! :(

On Friday 6-15-07 I recieved a phone call from the daycare center that my daughter attends. They told me that my daughter had an accident there, they said that she got hurt bad, but that it wasn't bad, but her injury was bad. Makes no sense I know. So I asked what happened. They told me that during play time outside she was playing on one of those flat scooters and went to take a dive on to it with her belly and missed the scooter. She went face first into the pavement and broke out half of her front tooth. They asked me if it was a baby tooth since she is 6yrs old. I said yes all of her front teeth are permanent teeth. Then they said to me well we are supposed to inform you when your child gets hurt and we aren't sure if you want to get her now or wait until your usual time to pick her up. What the heck why wouldn't I pick up my child. I broke a tooth like that as a child and it hurts very bad. Why would I make her suffer until I got off of work? So I went and got her and I hunted all over town to a Dentist that would accecpt my insurance and fix it that same day. So many offices close early on Fridays that you would be surprised. I found one and we have to do their walk in appointment where you sit and wait with no guarantee that you'll be seen. On the positive side they told me that children are consider priority and are bumped up the the top of the walk in list. She had to suffer for 3 hours before being seen and to top it off the accident happened at 10:15 am which is before lunch. I got her to the Dentist at 11am and they didn't take any walk ins until 11:30am. That left me with no time to try to give her anything. It wasn't like she would have been able to eat anything any way because the tooth she broke was one of the top middle teeth. They did give her some juice so that she would have something in her stomach before they fixed her tooth. They capped it and told me that when she gets older she will need a crown and in the mean time to keep an eye on the tooth to make sure that it doesn't turn gray, because that means that the tooth as died or is dying. If it does she will need to see a specialist and ect. ect. it will cost a lot of money since my insurance won't cover that procedure. They told me that it is very possible the tooth could die since it sustaned extensive trauma and the root isn't finished forming. Well I hope for the best and so far so good. So I hope that this is it for that tooth until she is old enough for a crown. I was told that I should wait until she turns 16 or 17yrs old. I hope that tooth will make it.
Until next time I hope you all have a wonderful day. :)

Nice start to summer.

I must say that this weather we have been having has been so nice for summer. I admit that sometimes it feels too hot and humid, but hey it beats the rain and snow. I love how everybody is just out and about when the weather is so nice. For the most part everyone is in a good mood. Weather has that affect on everyone. When the weather is not so nice or threatening, so are the people around you. I don't know maybe its just me.
I love it when the weather is nice it makes working out in it that much better, with just a few exceptions and I am sure that you know what those are. Right now the one I can't stand is the very high temperatures and humidity, being pregnant doesn't help because all of that makes me very nauseated to be out in it. I hope it passes soon. Well for the most part today really wasn't very action packed, just a usual day I guess. I hope you all have a wonderful day, until next time. Peace out.

Say Hello to my little friend :)

My friend Christie had surgery on her left hand yesterday for carpel tunnel. I got to go with her. I was gonna take her but, her boyfriend decided to come and he took us all in the van. It didn't take long for the procedure. My reason for being there with her was for support and to baby her when she got home. It is sort of my thing. I like to pamper my friends when it comes to things like that or when they have been sick for awhile. She was pretty perky when she got out of surgery, she got to see them work. When she got out and they started explaining her plan of care for home, she started to fall asleep. Poor thing! I hope that the surgery fixes her problem. I heard that other people who have had the surgery came out worse that when they went in. So I hope that it works out well for her. Well I should let you all go because I am at her house and I am supposed to be focusing on her. Have a wonderful, until next time.

Baby on Board!

Hello my lovely friends. I know it has been awhile but I have been busying trying to keep myself healthy since I am expecting a new baby. When? Around Christmas. I am really nervous about the whole thing because I have a hard time carrying full-term. When I was 16yrs old I got pregnant with quads. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told me. My problems with carrying to term happened during this pregnancy. I was six and a half months pregnant with 4 babies, I was supposed to be at home but I wanted to go to the bank to get money to buy some food that I was craving. It was Dec. 19,1997. The day before we got hit with some nasty ice and snow. Everything looked fine on the roads til I hit a patch of black ice and slid through and intersection, going through a red light I got hit by a car coming from my right side of my van. You see I was too big to where my seat belt and I had the seat as far back as I could get it and still reach the pedals. Any way back to my story. Upon impact I got wedged between the steering wheel and the door of my car. I don't really remember too much but after that until I woke up in the hospital and they told me what happened and how they couldn't save my babies. I had extensive trauma done to my uterus, but with hope I would have some small chance of one day having children. To make a longer story short, my daughter is my only successful pregnancy. Even after her I had several miscarriages and hopefully this pregnancy will have a happy ending too. For those of you wondering about my very 1st pregnancy, I would of had 3 girls and 1 boy, and one day we will all meet together in heaven. So wish me luck and by Christmas I'll be bringing home my 2nd and final angel.
Until next time I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Have you heard of Bloggerwave??

I did from a friend of mine, its a website called Bloggerwavethat you can post on your blog about companies, websites or movies, etc. Its really cool. You can earn money for each of your available opportunities listed. I mean its really cool that you can earn money sitting at home with your kids right behind ya. I would rather do that than have to get up, get dressed and drive to work. Here I am sitting here in my PJ's typing this. So go ahead and read up on it and see if it sounds like a plan to earn some extra money while staying at home or in between jobs.

Just my luck.

Just my luck. On Friday April 20th, I was at work and ready for a busy day when wouldn't you know it, I hurt myself at work. Go figure. I was only there for 1hr and a half and I hurt myself. I was pulling one of those metal flat bed carts at Lowe's in the lawn and garden center. I was walking fast and slowed down on my pace and I was pulling that cart behind me and I forgot to push back one the cart to slow it down and it ended up running up the back of my leg right above my heal. Oh my goodness it hurt so bad. I felt like my foot, ankle and lower part of my leg was on fire. It also broke the skin on my leg. I cried a little bit and whinned like a little baby. I just carried on about how much it hurt, it felt like some one stuck a hot iron on my leg and left it there. My best friend Christie who is also my co-worker took me to the ER to get me checked out. I knew nothing was broken but we wanted to be on the safe side. They took some X-rays and gave me and ice pack and some pain reliever. Nothing strong because I wanted to be able to drive home from work when we got back there. Just when I thought I was free to go the nurse came in to the room and gave me a tetanus shot, lucky me I didn't feel it because I was so focused on the pain in my leg. Christie was such a super trooper trying to comfort me and trying to distract me from the pain. It worked for like a few seconds, but I was still a crabby little baby about the whole pain thing. Thank you Christie for being there for me, I appreciated it, just in case you read this. Oh by the way I did received my 2nd paycheck like I was supposed to, for those of you who read my other post. Well until next time have a great day.

What's up with the weather?

Seriously what is the deal with this weather. One minute it is warm and nice and the next it is cold and snowing. This weather isn't even fit for the birds. It doesn't make work very fun either. All the plants are inside and there isn't much to do besides pulling the plants that are almost dead and trimming the dead stuff off of the salvageable plants. Just wait until the weather gets nicer, then we will be very busy trying to get the plants back outside and making everything look normal again. We will have so much to do that we won't know where to start.

On a different note, I can't wait until Wednesday the 18th. That is when I am supposed to be getting my check. At least I hope that I will be getting my check. I mean last time was a joke. I will probably blow a gasket and go completely mad. All I got to say is that there is absolutely no reason for my money not to be in my account that day. There wasn't any excuse before except that they messed things up on there end. I pray for no mistakes this time.

Earlier today at my other job I got stuck in an elevator. That sucked. I got on and the main level, I walked on and pushed the number and the doors closed and then nothing happened. I didn't really notice at first because I had a song running through my head at the time and then I realized that there was no dinging, that stupid little noise that the elevator makes when you reach every floor. I looked up and I saw that I was still on the 1st floor, so I pushed the 10th floor button again and still nothing. I push that button like a 10 times and nothing. So then I pushed the open button and the doors still wouldn't open. I pushed it like 20 times. Feeling a little insecure I called my friend Christie, and told her what happened. She laughed and told me to press the alarm button. I didn't want to because I didn't want to scare the elderly residents that lived in the high rise where I was trapped. Then I read the little do not panic sign to my friend and just when I started to open the little door with the phone in it the elevator door opened to my surprise, and there was a man there who just so happen to here me talking to my friend and he got me out. I was very relieved. I was in there for almost 20 mins. I figured I would be in there all day. I am just glad that I wasn't. The guy who heard me was like "Yeah I heard someone say Hey man I'm stuck." It was weird but funny. I was surprised that my phone even worked on the elevator, and further more I can't believe that I didn't pick up the elevator phone sooner, instead of calling my friend. Who the heck does that any way. Dumb! That's okay I just needed a familiar voice so that I wouldn't lose my cool and panic.
Well that's all for now, until next time have and great day and I hope nobody else out there gets stuck too.

Ooops! Sorry Dad.

So far I have been so consumed with trying to get my first paycheck from my second employer that is has pretty much consumed my life. I wasted alot of time and energy on it. So much that I forgot about what is most important to me, family. I forgot about my Dad's Birthday that just passed on April 7th, he turned 60yrs old. I was so depressed about not getting my check that I completely for got to pick my Dad up the the Nursing Home. I ment to celebrate it with him and have a get together at my house. But I got so wrapped up in trying to get my check that I totally forgot. Of course to make matters worse my 3 brothers forgot too. I am the one who does all of the reminding in the family, so everybody forgot. I felt so bad when I remembered at 11:47pm that night. So I picked up my Dad the next morning and took him to church for Easter services and there I wished him a happy birthday. He had fun at church and since he was a visitor the got to get in the door prize action that they had after services. It wasn't much but he won a $10 gift card to Walmart. So now I have plans to take my Dad out with my next check providing that I get it on time next week. I just won't tell him about it I will suprise him so that he won't get his hopes up and then me mash them with the lack of money. At least he had fun on Easter,only it doesn't fix the guilt that I have for being so selfish and forgetting about him in the 1st place. Oh well until next time ya'all, have a great day.

Dude Where's my Money.

Let me tell you a little some thing about me before I tell you my troubles. First of all you don't mess with my Family, My money or my food. Mess with those is like playing with fire when it comes to me.

I started a new job that I spoke about earlier, and it is alot of fun with my friend, that is until you don't get paid. This job only pays its employees by means of direct deposit. I gave them all of the information that they needed to do this and I was told that I would have to wait 3 weeks before I recieved my 1st paycheck in my bank account, since I started in the start of the pay period or something along those lines. I made sure that I gave them the correct information, I double checked it too. I was supposed t get my check on Wednesday April 4th 2007. Well let me tell you, there was nothing there. So I called the corporate office and they told me that for some reason it went to a paper check and that it got mailed out to me. I explained to them that I don't get half of my mail in the first place and that I have lived in my place of residence for 7yrs come November 2007. So I wasn't comfortable with it coming clear from PA to IL. So they said that they would put a stop payment on the paper check and redo my direct deposit. They told me that I would have my check in my account for sure on Friday April 6th 2007. They told me that they didn't send all of the forms the 1st time around, and that is why I didn't get my money on the 4th, but my money would for sure be there on Friday April 6th2007. Well I never got my money today and trust me I was heated. But I remained as calm as I could and called corporate again. They couldn't tell me why it didn't go through because the guy who handles that, who is in charge, was not there and would be there today. So they told me that they would issue me out another check and send it out again only they would express mail it to me and I would recieve it on Saturday April 7th 2007. They told me that I would have to sign for it too, I just hope that I get it or I will really snap and lose my cool. I will probably do a lot of cursing since there isn't much else I can do that wouldn't result in my getting into trouble, I don't want that a least cursing won't get me throwed in jail.
This has been so frustrating for me because I have bills that have to be paid and I can't which means that late fees will be applied to all the ones not paid, which is not my fault and out of my control. How is that fair to me. It would be different if I just decided not to pay any bills but I didn't get to choose that it just happened. Making me look bad to my debtors.
I am a single mother living paycheck to paycheck and I pick up a second job so that I would be able to set money aside for a rainy day, so much for my plan. Which things like this always seem to happen to me. I can't ever seem to catch a break. This always happens to me. If it isn't one bad thing that happens to me it sure is another. I don't know how much more I can take. All my life I have had so many terrible things happen to me and I keep trying to make it through the tough times, but every time I do, I am slammed back into another tough spot. I really hope that I get my money like I was told I would for the 3rd time now.
Thank god I have some really great friends who help me keep my sanity, and I am so thankful that I have all of them as my friends. Especially my friend Christie. She is a Super Trooper and I love her for the support she has given me in my time of need. I hope to be able to return the favor one day. I really hope that she knows just how much I appreciate all that she has done for me, I make sure to tell her but I hope she know who sincere I am. At least my life is blessed with great friends who are like angels sent from heaven watching over me and making sure that I don't do any thing stupid. If you know what I mean. Without them I would be lost. To all my Friends especially Christie I want to thank you so much. I love you guys. :)
Until next time have a great day.

What a Day.

Today was a pretty good day. Christie and I worked our booties off today and it was for the most part work but I enjoyed the work day. Then we both went to the chiropractor to get adjusted because the job tends to move things out of place. I love going to the YMCA. I get to work out use the whirlpool and the other pools there. I don't even have to clean any of it. That is the beautiful part of the membership, no clean up. We went to Christie's house for dinner. Which was fun for the most part. She makes the best iced tea. Anyway I guess my day seemed pretty boring compared to most but I had fun and if you were there with us you would have had fun too. Until next time. Have a Great Day.

A Fun New Job

I started a new job working for a company called Plant Essentials Inc. One of my best friends got me the job there. Her name is Christie. Any way we work in the lawn and garden center at Lowe's. Lowe's contracted the company we work for to help them with their lawn and garden center. This is only a seasonal job for us but I have fun and of course it is always better to work with friends. Christie has really gone above and beyond the call of friendship. Well may be not. I started on 3/14/07 and she has really been helping me out when it comes to paying for stuff. She has bought me my lunch and drinks since I started. I feel awkward because she has done so much for me. I can't wait until I can pay her back. I be able to start doing that when I get my second paycheck. At least she won't have to worry about me next week or there after. I really hope she knows how much I appreciate her help. I try to make sure she knows. She is a great friend and I am very lucky to have her as my friend. Hopefully she won't get tired of seeing me everyday. Well I enjoy the job plus it is very flexible with the hours and days you work. I get to pick out my hours and days that I work, how cool is that. Well until next time you all have a great day.

A Sad Day Today

Today started out as a very nice day til about 10:30am when I got the news that my sister-in-law's brother unfortunately passed away early this morning at 4:00am this morning. He died in a car accident. I don't have all of the details yet, but when I get them you will know. I only knew him for a short time but he still left some good lasting memories with me. His sister just married my older brother on Feb 24th, 2007. He was my date for the wedding I was a bride's maid and he was a groom's man slash 2nd ring bearer slash child wrangler. My baby nephew was the ring bearer and he is 1yrs old so Joe was the one to make sure that the little man made down the aisle. Jessee is my sister-in-law and Joe is/was her brother. He was so nice and sweet. He made us all laugh. He told me how beautiful I looked even though I felt like a cow. At the reception we all talked about the next time we would get together and the things that we all were gonna do together since our families just expanded. I'm sure we will still do those things we'll just be short one, only he'll be with us in mind and spirit. I wish I knew how to comfort my sister-in-law and he mother. I got them flowers and cards and sent my love and sympathy too. I told them if they needed anything that I would be there for all of them and help out in any way that I could. I feel so devastated too, because I didn't get a chance to get to know him very well, I am glad that he is in a better place now. He was just beginning to start his own life and talked about the one day when he might get married. How right now he was enjoying the single life but one day he would walk down the aisle like his younger sister, and he would be surrounded by all his family and friends. I'm really sorry that he never got to get to that part in his life, I'm know he would have been a good husband. I know this because he was so nice especially too me. You see I am very very over weight and he treated me like a Queen at the wedding. Telling me how beautiful I looked while walking down the aisle at the wedding and while we danced at the reception. He made me feel special, and for that day I forgot how big I let myself get. I'll miss him. At least he got to see his sister get married and he got to meet his niece and nephew. Too bad he won't be there in person when his baby sister gets married. She is only 15yrs right now. But when that day comes I'm sure he'll be smiling down at her from heaven. Well at least he is at peace and somewhere much better than here, and one day we will all see him again.

I can play peekaboo, how bout you?

Hello and welcome to my blog. I am a very proud single mother of the most beautiful little girl in the world. She is the center of my whole world. She is smart, sweet, and yes of course she is spoiled rotten to the core. But she is still my angel and Daddy's little girl. She is my first sucessful pregnancy and will probably be the only one I have since I have a hard time carrying to term. I am fun, out going, and just so easy to get along with. I love watching movies, buying all kinds of cleaning supplies, spending time with my beautiful little girl and Man, and of course hanging out with my friends. I also love listening to music and singing along with the songs, I can't sing but I like to pretend that I can.

I have been dating my baby daddy for 7 years as of February 18th. He is what brings balance to my life, I can talk to him about everything and anything, no matter how much it embarrases us. He is so good to me and our little girl; He spoils her more than anybody. He has this rough, tough exterior that he shows to everyone, but for me and his baby girl, he is just this soft, cuddley, sweet thoughtful daddy and sexy piece of man candy for me.
