PMS

I didn't put pictures up because well I just don't have the patience at the moment . I'm sitting in my room mad at everything for no reason other than I have PMS.you know it's bad when you put yourself in time-out. Today I have put myself in time - out 3 times I feel it comin on. My Kids and husband have scattered, my mom won't talk to me. Just because I'm a little CRANKY. My grand babies are the only ones that will have anything to do with me ( they don't know any better ) the Lil darlings that's why I gave LeiAnna my 2 year old granddaughter CHOCOLATE. That'll teach em'. I have come up with a small list of signs that will keep them clear of me for the next..... few days

1. If my head is spinning WALK AWAY
2. If I cry over a toilet paper commercial WALK AWAY
3. If I set my book down in the wrong spot and swear up and down you moved it AGREE and WALK AWAY
4. If all the chocolate and potato chips are gone RUN RUN I may have a melt down!!!
5. If I put the dogs out with a hobo stick YEAH I'VE LOST IT.

My sweet and wonderful husband the most laid back guy I have ever met SWEARS ON EVERYTHING that if this is a preview to menopause he's leaving me, taking the kids, my mom and the dogs and moving.

THE LAST 4 OF MY KIDS

These lovely ladies are the last 3 of my girls, Tabetha ( black ) Sonya (gold ) ( they are my sisters kids I raised ) and Ashley (pink)( Belongs to me) Tab 27 has recently started back in the nursing program ( after I had to threaten to disown her if she didn't ) has 3 beautiful children ( spawns of Chucky ) ha ha just kidding, and an it ( husband ) even though I raised her as my child she is also my best friend . Sonya 25 lives in Tennessee with her 2 kids and husband I don't get to see her much but she calls daily just to say hi. Ashley 21 ( will kill me when she See's the picture I have up of her ) I think she looks beautiful all pregnant and fluffy she still calls me Mommy and her dad Daddy which makes me feel really good because I still have my little girl even though she's a Mama now. All three of these girls have perfected rolling their eyes at me ( until I snatched them out, set them on the table )

.
These handsome guys are my son Robert and my husband Tim, Robert dances to a beat all his own, but he is a joy to have. I'm thankful that god found a way to bring him into our lives. I find myself telling Rob the same things I tell James our oldest boy. Rob if you touch that bee you will get stung, Rob don't eat worms that's gross ( his cousin Sarah talked him into that one ), Rob if you try and ramp that skate board your gonna get hurt ( 3 stitches ). But with all of that he still makes me laugh like when he asked me " Mom is bingo your job ? " Um mm no honey it's my hobby hehehe Tim just rolled his eyes at me. Now you've met all of my kids. Enjoy

Meet 3 more of my kids

Your probably thinking okay this girl has lost it, she has a picture of a tree when she's introducing her kids to us. Welllllllllll this is the tree that Cassie fell out of. Let me tell you the story of THE TREE. Cassie, James, Mercedes,( my kids ) and some of their friends was sitting on the back porch when William ( friend ) tells Cassie "I bet you can't climb that tree "( it did have lower limbs ) Cassie being Cassie said okay bet. Cassie goes down the hill into the creek and starts to climb the tree. She gets about 10 feet up when a her foot misses a limb and she falls out of the tree and rolls into the creek ( this tree is about 100 feet up and slanted ) she Lay's their about 3 minutes and starts army crawling up the hill ( every one was stunned ) I hear a piercing scream "OH MY GOD SHE'S DEAD" I come running out the door as Cassie makes it to the bottom of the hill. My Husband and I make sure nothing broke before we move her and carry her up the hill into the car and off to the hospital we go. Thank God all she got was a 4 inch gash in her leg 30 stitches ( 15 inside and 15 outside ). She was a very lucky girl.

This is Cassie Today she's 19 proud of her scar and very very GOOFY ( the fall might have done it... not ). Any time I'm feeling down I can count on Cassie to cheer me up!!

Waiting on prince charming.......

practicing her mean look ( IT'S NOT WORKING DEAR)

This is Mercedes she's our SERIOUS one. She just graduated High School and Turned 18.Besides being clumsy ( she tripped over a cotton ball ) She is our Vegetarian I'm not sure how she does it living in a house full of meat lover's. I'm so proud of her !!!

Not sure what look she's going for here. I wish I was that Skinny.

This is James I'm going to write a book about him. 17 year old not so bright about some things boy. You know its bad when the emergency room staff knows you by name. " don't ride the bike it has NOOOOOO brakes." ( 5 stitches to the head ) " don't ramp on the skate board " ( broken arm )" don't try and pierce anything ( both ears infected, 2 lip infections . Believe me I could go on... James is good at building things but he's a typical teenage boy just doesn't think before he does a lot of things!!

Handsome guy. I won't let him know that his head is big enough.

Well You've met 4 four of my kid's so far Karma 13, Cassie 19, Mercedes 18, and James 17 I've got four more to go. Being 3o something ( 37 actually ) your probably asking now how in the world does she have so many kids. My husband and I got custody of the first two of our eight ( Tabetha 27 and Sonya 25 still to come ) On Christmas Eve when Tabetha was 11 after her mom ( my sister ) left them and moved to a different part of the city ( drugs and the new husband was more important ) We raised them until they were both of age. Robert 7 still to come ( the same sister ) started another family got her house raided and the baby taken away ( we've had him since he was 18 months old. James, Cassie, and Mercedes we've had since James was 3 days old ( my brother's kids ) all I can say is Drugs can REALLY rip a family apart. Karma 13, ( still to come Ashley 21) our 2 girls have a lot of siblings we love and cherish all of them. It's been a hard road for the kids finding themselves ,asking why, crying at night, nightmares. We try and make up for their losses and show them the right way sometimes they fall off track but we pick them up again and start all over. Enough about me I hope you'll enjoy meeting our kids and seeing some of the crazy thing they do. I just wanted you to get to know them .

Tribute to my Karma

Meet Karma, When the doctor told me I would have to deliver at 31 weeks the only name my husband and I wanted to name her was Karma ( she is our Good Karma )our Lil peanut weighed in a 2lbs. 13oz. 16 in. long her middle name is Orenda ( like Brenda but with an O ) it means Magical One ( Iroquois Indian) She was a fighter from day 1 now our Darling Girl is 13 and almost taller than me!!

At 9 days old she was weighing in at a whopping 3lbs even. She was the exact same length as her sisters braid.

We got to take her home 4 days before Mother's day ( What a WONDERFUL GIFT FOR ME ) this was her first visit straight from the hospital to visit her Grandpa Chess. My father in law had MS and wasn't able to visit her at the hospital it was just to hard of a trip for him to make so Tim and I wanted him to be the first visit we made. This was a Happy moment for Tim to be able to hand his dad our Lil peanut.

Karma at 4 loved being a Princesses even with her Kool Aid Mustache

This is Karma today at 13. No more Lil peanut, I thank God every day for her survival she has been our piece of Good Karma. She recently graduated the 6th grade and what better way for everyone to meet her. This is my tribute to her. She is the sweetest person I know, with the kindest heart a person can ever have ( she gets that from her dad ) She thinks of others before she thinks of herself. I could go on for day's ( yes I know I'm Bragging sorry my love for her tends to overflow.)

Her President's award for Academic Achievement 2009 given to her at her 6th grade Graduation.

Her Certificate's - Sixth grade Diploma, Certificate of Scholastic Achievement ( 4 quarters on Honor Roll, 4th Quarter Honor Roll, Yearly and Quarter Extra Effort Award ( for helping tutor kids)

Karma and her BF Laura. They have been 2 peas in a pod since Daisey Scouts.

Congratulations Honey I Love and am SOOOOOOOO Proud of U!!!!
