Here's some pictures from Michigan!

This is Kyle proudly showing off his goat. The poor boy had such a trying time with a couple of his goats, I'm surprised I got a shot of him smiling!
This is a picture is of the boys showing their goats. Well 2 of 6 they showed.

This is just a scenic picture of Mackinaw Island. It is so beautiful there. The island is only 5 miles around and there are no cars allowed. Everything is bike, walking, or horse and buggy. We actually had to take a 20 minute ferry ride to get there, the boys thought that was the best part!!


This is picture I took from the back seat of the van. This is Mackinaw Bridge. Sorry its so blurry, but its huge!


This is Cole at a spray park they have downtown. I wish we had something like this for the kids in NC. Its free and it keeps them cool and occupied when its hot out!



This is Kyle at the spray park.

Sorry these are sooo late, but I finally got them downloaded on to my computer!!

I'M DONE!!!!

Well I have finally had it with my husband. We were suppose to get up this morning and pick up his brother from the airport, which I was looking forward to just to get out of this house since I've been stuck in it since I lost my job. For starters, I'm on my period and my boobs really hurt. My husband knows this since I've been complaining about them for 3 days now. Well this morning laying on the bed, he was rubbing my head and I thought he was going to be nice to me. WRONG! He then said he had to get in the shower so we could go. I said something joking and playfully he grabbed my boob. OUCH! I didn't yell or anything, I just said "stop, you know they hurt, why would you do that?" Then he goes off the handle and yells, "you're being a fucking baby T." "I'm not going to put up with this all fucking week!" Well he gets into the shower and he gets out and asks me why I'm not ready to go. Like I really want to have anything to do with you now after you called me a FUCKING BABY. Come on now. So all I said is that I am not going because you're a being an asshole. He wouldn't even apologize. Just a sorry honey I forgot they were sore or just a sorry cause you really didn't need to grab my boob. NOTHING!! He then proceeds to yell and scream that he shouldn't have to kiss my ass and blah blah. Nobody asked you to kiss my ass, just a sorry would've been great and the could've went on like nothing ever happened! So I am done. I am not going to hang around him this week or weeks to come. I'm moving myself back to the other end of the house and as soon as I get my job back and save some money, I'm filing separation papers and moving out. I refuse to live like this! This of course isn't the first time, which a lot of you know! He has no consideration for me at all. He just does what he wants when he wants to and I am tired of being second best to his buddies and his four wheeler. He wants to live like he is single and I guess its been working to his advantage for the last 8 years because he has gotten to do that with a wife who takes care of everything else, but not anymore. I'm tired of crying all the time because he treats me like shit and he honestly doesn't see that he is doing anything wrong. I love him to death but there is no hope of any of this changing and I know there is someone out there who will appreciate me and not take me for granted!!!

It's been awhile...

Sorry its been so long since I've posted, but work kept me pretty busy! Now I am officially jobless! My contract was terminated on October 31st. Crappy Halloween for me! Everyone was really great and threw me a going away party at Logan's Steakhouse and we had a lot of fun just hanging out. They presented me with a plaque that has my start date and ending date. The doctor I worked for the last couple of months bought my lunch which was totally not expected just because I didn't work with him that long, but he and all the others had said what an impact I had made with them in just the short time that I worked there and that I will be missed and the first available position that open will be mine. I guess its just nice to know that you are wanted, considering you don't always get that from your family!!!
So now I am going out of my mind!! I just don't know what to do with myself. I can only clean but so long, and Jenn helped me out yesterday and came over after her class and we made bread, but she can't always be here to entertain me! I guess only time will tell!
Thanks for letting me whine! I just really want my job back...it made me feel useful!

Their picks...

Surprisingly enough, nothing crazy. They both picked the picture of their goats so they could tell everyone about that, of course they picked pictures of them on their dirt bike(big surprise) and the other kind of shocked me which was of their pool. So nothing strange like I was expecting! Sorry I thought it was going to be a funny experience!

School starts Monday!

I am sooo ready for Monday. The kids I think have just gotten so restless and are also ready to head back. Well we went to the open house Thursday and this will be the first year that the boys will be in the same class together. Hopefully all goes well! The teacher is the one I requested and I think she is going to be really great with the boys, especially with Cole. I did this so I don't have to soley concentrate on Cole's work and I can help both of them at the same time. Last year with them being in 2 different classes, they brought different work home and because of Cole's ADHD, we would pay way more attention to him getting his work done and not so much with Kyle and its just not fair. So pray that this will work.

Other than that, now we have to go through all their new school supplies and get those ready to go and get all their school clothes organized because I have to rely on them and their father to get ready in the mornings since I am already at work, so I hope to hang most everything up as outfits so there is no confusion. Also have to get all those forms filled out and the boys have HOMEWORK. At open house their teacher had a paper bag on all their desks and they have to put 3 things in it that best describes who they are and their personalities. I thought that was a pretty neat idea, but I can't wait to see what they boys will put in them! I'll post their picks later!

Can't Believe How Time Flys...

It was my little brothers 18th birthday yesterday! That just seemed so unreal! I can still remember him as a little bratty kid who wouldn't leave us alone. I still remember not getting any sleep when he was a baby because he would scream all night long. I guess I just don't want to realize I am not as young as I use to be!!

I'm in Michigan!

Well I'm in Michigan right now. What a busy week its been too! Everybody has been here to visit and we've tried to keep the boys as entertained as possible until fair starts. We went to a spray park, went to Mackinac island which was fun! We took a ferry across and the boys loved it! That place is just sooo gorgeous...i'll post pics later! Then we've gone to dinner with my dad and grandparents, and tomorrow we'll be going out in my dad's boat to go tubing! Then Sunday we have to load up the goats to take to fair and get ready for that!

Other than that, nothing much else going on. I'm going to get my hair cut and thinned today and thats about it! Its just kind of nice to get away...no work and no fighting with the husband. Now if I could just get time away from the kids! More to come later!!!
