Well you know where. This is how the day started out. I got up got all three kids ready and headed off to the dentist at 8am for H's final of 3 appointments, we got there 2 minutes late. As I was pulling up I realized that I had forgotten my purse, now being the nice person that I am, I told them when I got there I had forgotten my purse, and I would have to go get it or come back this afternoon and pay them, so they went to ask the dentist, and he said no she will have to reschedule, WTF!?!? I have paid them at each appointment, and I just forgot my purse. She says well you were late, uh hello I was 2 minutes late. And I live 5 minutes from the dentist, I offered to go then and get my purse, so they asked him again, and still no. I was livid. I made it a point to say very loudly come on kids mommy forgot her purse so they wont see us today. I went home, got my purse went back to the dentist, and paid them the balance that we owed them, and asked for H's records. There was a very nice nurse there, she said I will go ask him again, I said forget it, I just want my records. So I got them, got in my car to leave, and BAM! Backed into a lady's car. I hit it very lightly, as my back up beeper had beeped but only once, and I had stopped to look in my mirror, and my camera and I didn't see her car. I let my foot off the brake, I just barley tapped her car. So I pulled up thinking great now I am going to have to go back in and find out who owns the car. As I was about to get out here comes this lady who seemed to be very mad, she said you hit my car. I immediately said yes and told her how sorry I was. We looked at her car and there was no damage, and she and I started to talk. At this point I was in tears for how my day had been. She was so nice, I gave her my name and number and told her here let me show you my drivers licence so you know that it is truly me, I showed her and she told me how nice i was, and that she was sure she wouldn't need my number, and to take a deep breath because God loves me. She was very nice. I went home I was afraid if we stayed out I might run over someone. The rest of the day went ok.
Hubby went to look at a house today. Please pray for us that it works out. I am worried because our credit is shot and I not sure if they will rent it to us. We will see.
The kids seem to be doing well. I am so just ready to get this move over with.

Another day here alone
Well its Thursday, day 4 of being here alone. I have to say it hasn't been that bad, I have great friends and neighbors to hang out with, and the kids and I have have pretty much stayed outside when we are home so it keeps us busy. I do miss hubby, but I anticipated it being much worse as it has been before. We are doing ok. I sent hubby some houses to look at, and he thinks one may be promising, although it is close to a busy street. So that is a big draw back, but it has in in ground pool that is a plus. The kids would love that! I am ready for this move to be over, I need to start packing. My neighbor is having a garage sale this weekend and i will be putting stuff in that in hopes of getting rid of some things. Honestly I would like to just sell it all, and start over, I hate packing. You would think I would be a pro at it now. Lets see in the 11 years we have been married we have moved, from an apartment to our first house, from our first house to a house in the country where my husband thought he wanted to live, HATED it, lived there for about 2 months, moved to our favorite all time house, moved to NC, moved to another house in NC, moved to Ohio, moved to TN, moved to another house in TN, and now back to TX. I hope this will be our last move. In the move from TX to NC we had moves who packed, but the rest we have done ourselves. That is 9 moves if I counted correctly. Did I mention I HATE MOVING! I just want a place to stay. Please pray that this will be our last move, or at least we will stay in TX and may only make one other move. To our dream home. That is what I want. Maybe we will win the lotto and we can stop moving. LOL Well that is all for tonight, till next time remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you love them, today is gone and tomorrow may never come....................

I am still here.
Sorry I haven't been keeping up lately, but things are just so darn hectic around here. Hubby left Monday for TX, and I will be here alone with the kids for a month and a half.
I had a great trip home, my grandpa was truly surprised about the party. It was so nice to be home with family and forget everything even if just for a few days. I am so stress about about this whole move thing. It seems to get harder each time we move. I have some really great friends here and I hate to leave again. I am afraid that I wont make friends that I will be lonely, that I wont find a house, that I wont get packed while here all alone. I wonder when we will have another paycheck, we don't know if we will get one this week, and so far I have no word on when hubby will get paid from there. I worry the impact the move will have on the kids. Today H who had previously said she wanted to move said she doesn't want to go. I know it is really hard on her, and I hate to move her again. As a mom I cant stand to see my kids upset, and she was upset about moving today. I just want the stress to come to an end. i want to be financially stable, and get the bills paid and not worry how we will make it through. Will that ever happen? I pray it will.
On the G news the Dr. called while I was in route to TX and left a message, that the biopsy reveled chronic esphogia, I am not sure what the means exactly I have read few things about it and they are scary, so I need to call, but so far this week I am playing catch up. And I have a horrible cough, allergies from TX. Anyway I will update more with pictures tomorrow.

Long Time No Blog
WOW! I have been so busy that I have taken a temporary leave from blogging. Sorry. But I am back. And so much to say. Where to start..........................
I will start with G, he had OT last week, and we started him back on baby food with the hopes that it will be easy to change the texture and get him to eat more food. So far he has been eating the baby food well. The first day I gave it to him you would think the kid hadn't eaten in years, he was going to town on it. He is such a good baby. Today we had to be at the outpatient surgery center at 6am for his endoscopy, and a ph probe. Well I thought we were just doing the endoscopy, but the put in the probe. The probe is supposed to stay in for 24 hours, he did really well until nap time. I thought if I laid him down and he pulled it out it would hurt when the tape came off. NOPE he pulled it out. So I had to take him back and have it put back in. He never even cried. What a great baby. I think he still has it in, although I need to go check. We will go back at 8:30am for them to take it out, or to give the machine back if he has pulled it out already. We shall see. Anyway, while they were in doing the endoscopy, they looked at his stomach and saw nothing unusual, and they looked at his esophagus, and saw some variations that could indicate that his reflux is caused be a food allergy. They did a biopsy as well and we should hear about that in a couple of days. So hopefully we will know something more soon. I just cant imagine what food could be causing this, I avoid things he is allergic to, and he doesn't eat much. The only thing I can think of is soy, which he was tested for and tested negative. So who know what is going on. I hope they figure it out soon. I will keep you posted.
Now L, well not much going on with her except for she thinks it is great to pee everywhere. The other day I went in their room and it smelled like a sewer, she had peed in a tote, and a vanity chair. MAN was I mad. She is such a sweet little girl, I just don't understand. I think maybe she wasn't attention. I will have to work on it with her.
Now for H, she has really had such an attitude lately, I am just not sure what to do about it. She has always been such a sweet and caring little girl, and to everyone outside the family she still is, but to people here in the home she is rude and hateful. She is mean to L and she talkes really crappy to hubby and I. I know alot is her age, but I feel like she just feel left out. With all G has to go through she gets put on the back burner, or I think in her eyes she does, but I truly don't think that is the case. Again I will have to work on it with her. I think some mommy and me time is needed.
For hubby and I, good and bad news. We are moving back to Texas, not home, but closer to home. We will be 5 hours from family. That is the good. The bad, I have again made a life here that I am leaving behind a lot of good friends. I am sad to leave them. I am sad that again I am having to pick up and up root my kids, although they are so excited to be back close to grandma. I know that this is best for us, but it is just so hard to start over again. My friend told me today, well you are so outgoing you will have no problem meeting new friends. I don't think that is true. I am not as confident as it appears. I hate making new friends I would rather keep my old ones. But I will do it again this is best for us.
I guess that is all for tonight I will keep you posted.

A sad day.
Just a quick post to ask for prayers for the Powell family www.ehthanpowell.com, this little boy earned his angel wings today. I know many of you have read my previuous posts about him and were praying for him. Also for the Lester family http://www.caringbridge.org/fl/emilylester/ Emily also earned her angel wings today. Please pray for peace for these families, but most of all pray to find a cure for this horrible disease that has clamined yet two more innocent children.
That is all for today. I will update more later. I just wanted to ask for prayers today.

What a week and it is only tuesday!
Man can this week be over already?
Yesterday we all got up, and went to take H and L to the dentist. They both did very well, they liked the dentist. L had perfect teeth, no cavities. H on the other hand................. She has 7 teeth that need to be filled or crowned. Her three front teeth are rotting,two of these they will do nothing about the other was already loose, and the root was exposed and it was infected so they opted to pull it.SO this morning, we got up to head back to the Dentist, for H's tooth to be pulled, and have one crown put on(they will space out the procedures over three appointments). We also had G's teeth checked and he did very well. A little background on H, her enamel did not form on her teeth correctly so that is why she has so many problems, when she was 2 1/2 she had her first pulpotimy done and a year later another, and a crown, and a few cavities. We are hopeful that her permanent teeth will be better.
After the dentist, we took H to school, and then came home so G could take a nap, then off to the GI Dr. This was the appointment I was dreading. Well we went in, and as I suspected, they are going to do a GI endoscopy on him. I am hopeful that with this procedure they will figure out what is going on. If this procedure doesn't figure out the problem, then they will put a tube in his nose that will measure the amount of reflux episodes he is having in a 24 hour period. I asked how will we get him to keep the tube in his nose without pulling it out to which he responded, I hope he is of an age that you can tell him not to pull it out and he wont. WHAT!?!?! I looked a G then I looked at the DR and I said he is 19 months old. He said well we can tape boards to his arms so he cant bend them to get to his nose. AGAIN WHAT?!?!!? Are you kidding me? Can I send him to your house for those 24 hours? He said he has done about 10,000 of these procedures, and most of the time it works out fine. But he added ideally we would do this as an infant or an older child. So I am thinking well we were here when he was an infant.Now I know he waited in the hopes that he would out grow the reflux, but I was confused. He also said that the reflux could be a food allergy, now I have 2 problems with that theory. First we have been tested and know that we have food allergies, and we avoid those. He said the skin test and the rasp test are not always reliable food allergy indicators. WHAT?!?! Then why so we do them? Second problem, the child doesn't eat, so how can it be food? Let me say I do like this DR and I trust him, I was just in shock. Anyway we left feeling unsure about all that is going on with G. My ultimate goal is to get him to eat, to so that we need to figure out what the heck is going on with him. SO pray for us that we can get him all taken care of and get him eating. He cant live on formula for his whole life.
After The GI Dr we headed for Girl Scouts, I was so not in the mood for this today, I was stressed and just not ready, but we made it through, and got home. I am supposed to work tomorrow from 9am-2pm but I have no one to watch G, L and H will both be at school, but I cant find anyone to watch G. I have asked anyone I thought could do it leaving out those friends who's children will be at school them selves, no one. Then I called our babysitter, she has class, but gave me the number of a friend, she has pink eye. SO now I am left with no one. I don't know what I am going to do. I am at a loss.
Well I guess that is all for today, wanna trade weeks?
Till next time remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you love them, today is gone and tomorrow may never come..............
