What Is Up With All This Snow?!

What Is Up With All This Snow?!:
All this darn snow is really starting to aggravate me, ya know? Let’s go back to almost a week ago on Friday….we got pummeled with almost 2 feet of snow overnight, then last night and today, I don’t even know how much snow we got. But I will say this. It sure was alot of snow! I spent the day with family, I took Rickcal and the baby to the doctors, to the welfare office, we pretty much were all over the county today. I just took my time and was being cautious. It just made me nervous being out there in the crappy weather. But I promised Rickcal that I would take her because no one else would take her. Her doctor changed the baby’s formula and hopefully that will help.

I’m looking forward to having my baby shower. The baby shower will be on March 27th. My mom, Georgeanne & Rickcal were trying to keep it a surprise, but that didn’t last too long. I also signed up for the baby registry at Wal-Mart too. Most of my family and & Chris’ family shops there, so I’m just trying to make it easy for everyone, ya know? I’m not a picky person. I’ve even bought some baby stuff at Dollar General & at Family Dollar. I don’t mind shopping there, and I sometimes get criticized by certain people because I shop at those stores. So f****** what if I do? If the stuff is inexpensive, then I’m going to buy it. I need to save as much money as I can for the baby. When Chris gets home, he’s going to get a job. When he gets out of jail, he is coming back here to my mom’s with me until we get on our feet. Then once we do, we’ll move into our own apartment. My mom’s trailer is kinda small, it’s only a 2 bedroom but it does have 2 bathrooms, which is nice for me. I am just going through a rough time right now, trying to handle everything on my own. Chris feels bad that he can’t be here to help me out. I don’t want him to feel bad, I just want him home soon, because I miss him so badly!

A Much Needed Update….

A Much Needed Update:
So much has gone on since my last update to my blog. It’s been over a month since then, but ALOT has happened in my life. My husband is in jail, on a probation violation. He goes back to court on the 18th, and hopefully his probation officer will let him out of jail, pay his fines and be done with it. But I’m not holding my breath, because his probation officer is an asshole. And no, I’m not exaggerating. If you knew him, you would understand. I do get to see him once a week, on Sundays. And it just so happens that Valentine’s Day is on Sunday, so I’m really looking forward to our visit. It’s only a half hour long, but at least I get to see him. He also calls me 3 times a day. I look forward to his phone calls, I love hearing his voice, it calms me down. And when we don’t talk, I miss his voice and I go crazy. Just the mere thought of him, drives me wild! No, I’m not joking either. I miss his touch, his kiss, me laying on his chest in bed, him kissing me on my forehead, the way he puts his hands on my face like he’s holding my face, all of these things makes me melt. I also took Cheyenne to Wal-Mart today to get Valentine’s for her Valentine’s party at school on Thursday. Cheyenne is hoping that school won’t be cancelled on Thursday. She said she would be mad and upset. Well tomorrow the school is already on a 2 hour delay because of all the snow we got this evening. We got about 7 inches since around 1 this afternoon, plus there’s more snow coming tonight and tomorrow. All this damn snow is just crazy. My good friend Georgeanne, over where she lives in Ohio, they got over 20 inches this past Friday and they’re getting pummeled with snow again. School is cancelled over there for tomorrow because of all the snow. I wish they’d do that here, but I doubt it….lol

Wonderful News:
I have some wonderful news to share with everyone! I’m pregnant….I am due August 6! We’re so excited!! I am 12 weeks along now and I’m gaining some serious weight lol. Even though Chris in jail right now, I know that he’ll be out by the time I have the baby. Or at least he better be!! But he is excited too none the less. I don’t care what we have as long as it’s healthy. That’s all we care about. Well, not much else going on here right now. So until we blog again, hugs & blessed be! )0(

Been Doing Some Thinking

Beth — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 03:44:42 +0000

Been Doing Some Thinking:
I have been thinking about going back to Blogger. I like the idea that I can change the theme of my blog for free. On here, I can’t. And the free themes pretty much suck. I even bought the advanced css editor for wordpress and got my money refunded back to me because with it, I still couldn’t upload my own theme. I was looking for a Christmas theme and I can’t even use it because I have to have my own domain pretty much.

On another note, I found my Icicle lights at my old house earlier today. I hadn’t realized that they were blinking icicle lights, so that’s pretty cool and my mom likes them. I didn’t think that they worked and I was happy that they did. It’s usually my luck that Christmas lights don’t work after the first time that they’re up…..

Other than that, not much else going on here. Cheyenne is really happy about having her own computer now. So I’m going to get off of here, so until we blog again, hugs & blessed be! )0(

Patiently Waiting…

Patiently Waiting:
I am waiting patiently for the rest of the Christmas presents that I ordered online to arrive. I got Cheyenne 3 XBox 360 games, a Nintendo DS game and her Bedazzler. Everybody else’s Christmas stuff came already. The Bedazzler, the person that I bought it off of isn’t responding to any of my emails and I am hoping that this person has shipped it already, because it has been over a week now that I have paid for it and it states that items ship out 1-2 days after payment received. Whenever I buy off of Ebay, I always make sure to pay for items that I have won immediately. I don’t mind shopping on Ebay, stuff is pretty reasonably prices so I can’t complain.

Other than that, not a whole lot going on. Cheyenne decided that she wanted to stay another night with her dad. So I’m going to pick her up tomorrow at 2. I hope she had a good time with her dad. Well, I’m going to get off of here and get some sleep. So until we blog again, hugs & blessed be! )0(

Black Friday! Ugh!!

Beth — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 07:26:39 +0000

Black Friday:
I am so happy that it’s now Saturday. My parents and I ventured out to Wal-Mart to see what kind of computers they had. It was busy, but not as busy as I thought it would be. I know they opened up at 5am and I could imagine the line of people waiting to get in at that time. Luckily, the prices that they were advertising between the hours of 5am and 11am, were still in effect when we got there. They had a BluRay player for $78! I couldn’t believe it. My mom and I both got new laptop computers. My mom got an Acer Aspire and it has a 16″HD screen..it’s pretty sweet. I was going to get the same one, but they only had one left. It really wasn’t a big deal. So the next one up was this HP laptop. It was $400. This has a 16″ HD screen too. And I also have to say that I love Windows 7. It is alot easier to maneuver than Windows Vista. It’s similar to Vista, but I think it’s just beer all the way around. My mom likes it too.

Cheyenne is still with her Dad. He took her skating while my we went computer shopping. After our shopping venture, we stopped at Perkins to have supper. Brian & Cheyenne met us there after the skating party. So it was perfect timing, because they showed up shortly after we did. She’s supposed to come home tomorrow. And then on Monday, she wants me to take her skating again. They’re having a no school skate while the kids are on Thankgsiving break. But anyways, that’s about it here. So until we blog again, hugs & blessed be! )0(

Some After Thanksgiving Thoughts…

Beth — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 06:05:32 +0000

After Thanksgiving Thoughts:
We had a nice Thanksgiving today. I was, however, pretty bummed out that Cheyenne didn’t want to spend the holiday with us, but she needed to spend time with her dad as well because she hasn’t seen him very much. For awhile it seemed as if he only wanted to see her when it was convenient for him or as a last minute thought. Plus, there was alot of bickering back and forth between him and I. Anyways, they went to southern Ohio to one of Brian’s friends house and he conveniently forgot to tell me yesterday that he was planning on staying the night down there. I was kinda peeved to find out at 10:30 at night that they wouldn’t be home until tomorrow. But I did remind him that Cheyenne has a skating party to go to tomorrow at noon, and that she needed to be back up here by then. I should make him take her since he pulled that stunt. I can’t skate because I have I have a bad back and a bad knee.

Also tomorrow, well actually later on today since it’s almost 1am here, my mom, dad and I are going to venture out to Wal-Mart and get 2 new laptop computers. My dad is getting them for us as an early Christmas present and for helping around the house as much as I do. I am not complaining by any means. My old Gateway laptop died about a month ago and I was really bummed out about it. But after tomorrow, I won’t have to worry about computers crashing, for awhile anyways lol. This desktop that I’m on now, is on its last legs. It pretty much has a mind of its own…sometimes I swear it’s possessed, seriously!! It boots up when it wants to and shuts down when it wants to as well.

So anyways, back to Thanksgiving… we had a huge dinner. There was turkey(obviously) it was 15lbs., mashed potatoes, baked yams with marshmallows on top, stuffing, cranberry sauce, deviled eggs, and pumpkin pie. I was going to make green bean casserole minus the mushroom soup and substitute it with celery soup, but I figured that there was enough stuff to eat. And there was…I think we could have fed a small army with the amount of food we had too. We also had dinner rolls.

Well it’s getting late and I need to be up early and go shopping with the family. So until we blog again, hugs & blessed be! )0(

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving:
I may not be online much tomorrow, so for those of you that do read my blog I just wanted to wish you all a very wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow and also that you have a very blessed holiday season this year.
Granted, our economy is tanked beyond belief, but even I have a few reasons to be thankful this Thanksgiving. I am thankful for my family, without them supporting me through all the BS I’ve had to deal with, I don’t think I would be here today. And I’m being very honest. A few months back, I hit a rough patch and things were horrible for awhile. But my family has supported me and I am thankful for them. I am also thankful for my friends that have just been my friend and for just listening and not talking when things were bad. I am also thankful for my daughter, she is my inspiration and saving grace in life! I love her so very much.

Well, I’m going to get off of here. So until we blog again, hugs and blessings! Have a wonderful Thankgiving!

The Upcoming Holiday…

Beth — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 01:50:18 +0000

The Upcoming Holiday:
Well, I guess I’m as prepared for Thanksgiving as I’m gonna be. I’m not really big into holidays much anymore, but this Thanksgiving holiday so far, is going well. I made the deviled eggs tonight and will be making the homemade stuffing either tomorrow or Thursday morning before I put the bird in the oven. I think I just may do it tomorrow night and get it out of the way, so it’s one less thing to do on Thanksgiving. Cheyenne is going with her Dad to one of his friend’s house for the holiday. I suppose that’s okay as long as he’s not going to be an asshole about it. Tara will also be coming up here as far as I know. Last I heard, she was. Then on Friday, my mom, dad and I are going computer shopping. We’re both getting new laptops, which will be nice. Later on Friday, I’m taking Cheyenne to a school related skating party at the Skating Center. Then on Saturday, we’re heading to Wal-Mart for a Hannah Montana backstage thing going on. Yeah, I can see it now….50 million screaming pre-teen and teen girls all screaming at the top of their lungs. I better bring some tylenol with me in my purse just in case lol. I’ll keep you updated on that. So that’s about it for now. Well, I’m going to get off of here and get some stuff done. So until we blog again, hugs & blessed be! )0(

Have a blessed Thanksgiving holiday!

Busy Weekend,etc…

Beth — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 04:30:47 +0000

Busy Weekend:
I knew since yesterday that I would have a pretty busy weekend ahead. After Cheyenne came home from school yesterday, she asked me if she could go to Tea´s for the weekend. I told her that I didn’t mind as long as it was okay with her mom Carrie. Well it usually is okay with her, because Cheyenne goes there pretty much every weekend. It’s a nice little break though…hehehe. With her at her friends house, that gives me time to do some more Christmas shopping on Ebay. Speaking of Ebay, some of the Christmas stuff that I ordered arrived in the mail today. I had to make sure to hide the stuff I got for Chrismas in case Cheyenne decides to be nosy when she comes home tomorrow. I just hope that she likes everything that I got for her. There were a couple things that I couldn’t afford last Christmas for her, so I went ahead and got them for her this year. Most of my Christmas shopping is done except for my dad, my niece Heaven Irene, Rickcal & Marty. My dad is so hard to buy for sometimes because he has many interests. And my niece Heaven Irene likes Dora the Explorer and Disney stuff, so she really isn’t hard to buy for. Plus she has a birthday coming up and I got 2 tickets for Georgeanne to take her to the Disney on Ice show at the Covelli Centre on December 20th. So it will be a late birthday present/ early Christmas present. I just hope she will enjoy it. I was going to try and get 2 more tickets, but they sold out like hotcakes. And I’m not really sure if Cheyenne would want to go to that again. She saw the Disney on Ice show 2 years ago and she liked it, but she has different interests now that she’s getting older.

Well, I’m gonna get off of here and try to get some sleep. So until we blog again, hugs & blessed be! )0(

Christmas Shopping On Ebay…

Beth — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:25:01 +0000

Christmas Shopping on Ebay:
Yes, you heard me right. I don’t think there’s any shame in it especially in these tough economic times. Most of the stuff that Cheyenne wants for Christmas I found on Ebay. I found her a Bedazzler craft thing so she can add gems,etc to her clothes. And it’s brand new for $10.00! Not a bad price considering that in stores they want close to $30.00 for it, I’ve done the research…hehehe. I found her a couple of Hannah Montana items for under $10.00 too, so Cheyenne will have a nice Christmas this year and that makes me happy. Now, I just have to figure out what to get everyone else in the family like Mom, Dad, Georgeanne, Heaven & Rickcal for Christmas now lol. Everyone is pretty easy to shop for except Mom&Dad, they can be picky at times. But it’s all good! I have plenty of time still to get it all done by Christmas. I’ve also been selling some unwanted stuff and that’s how I got the money for Christmas. And that’s been going pretty good.

I have another job interview tomorrow morning and I’m pretty excited about it. I hope I get it. I’ve had quite a few interviews and nothing has panned out unfortunately. But I am still very hopeful that I will find a job by Christmas because that will help me out considerably too. Well, I’m going to get off of here and get ready for bed. So until we blog again, hugs & blessed be! )0(
