So we decided that we are going to stay. The main reason was the kids are setteled in school, getting help in special class. Helping them both with there speach and socialization skills. I know that if we leave they wont get as much help as they are now. The school they are in now is hard and challenging. Again im glad they are there but the downside is some of the parents....so fake. Today for example its a light rain and where i was parked I knew ebony wouldnt see me, I asked one of the moms if she could let ebony know where i was cuz i was behind a fence and the mother said uh hu, then she see's her child and leaves. Now im not mad that she left, im mad cuz if she didnt want to she should have said sorry we have to leave right away...i totally would have understood and would have just waited (like i did).
They think they are so much better up here, little do they know my family has more class then they will ever have. Its sad that they look down on people that live in low income housing. They pitty and make projects out of you, and to top it off they try and make you feel like part of the group but in the end talk about you behind your back. Looking forward to when we get to move out of cali and go to wa! Yes i know there is dramma everywhere you go. No im not running away from the problems, but it would be good to get back home, be near people that i know...or knew lol havent seen anyone from wa in 9years!!
Looking forward tho to this next year hoping ebony wont get held back but its a great possibility. She has dyslexia just like her momma if not worse and she is dealing with it just like i did...poor girl i feel bad for her. It was past from my birth mother to me and now to ebony and possibly kai. Sigh the joys of knowing that you have a learning disability and that it will be passed to at least one of your children.

To Much To Do with Management Being Dumb
Sigh, the dreaded day came and went for us to re-apply/qualify for our apartment. Its nice to know that we dont have a clue whether or not we will stay or go.
Management called me on thursday mid morning to let me know that my husbands job wasnt cooperating with them to get his income/job verification. I let them know that they needed to get in contact with his corporate office to get that information. They then told me that if hubby thinks he is going to play a game with them on getting verification then we can just go ahead and give our 30 day notice! WTH!!! He told them ahead of time that his job probly wont be too cooperative and then says its his fault. When i called him i asked what was going on, and find out that the apartments are being rude to the rep that is trying to get them the info. They are making hubby look bad and i dont appreciate it. I call them back to assure them that they will get the information that they need and i get blown off the phone. SERIOUSLY?!?!?!
I am split in 2 with my feelings. On one hand i want us to stay. I dont want to take the kids out of school and if we stay til summer time i just dont want to move period. But on the other hand, i have found dozens of duplex's and homes for rent lower than what we are paying here. It would get us closer to the hospital for raiden and closer to hubbys job. I just cant believe this is why we might be moving. Cuz management doesnt like his hr department. We are awesome tenants, never had a complaint and always pay rent....maybe not on time but it always gets paid!
From the few people that iv talked to that have lived here this place is a sham...a wolf in sheep's clothing if you will. They make issues with the apartments yours not theirs. They take their time with fixing things. They make you feel dumb for asking questions. Guess out of all the places that iv had to live, being in an "upstanding" neighborhood was just a bit to much to ask for. Oh and did i mention that of all the places that iv lived ony here have i seen the police or ambulance or fire trucks here every day just about....id say 6out of 7days a week one of those three if not all at the same time are here.
Im hoping if we do have to move its waking distance to a school. So if i run out of gas i can still walk the kids to school. It would also be cool if the hospital was within that type of distance...just thinking ahead for rays next surgery. If he is there for 3 weeks i want to be there everyday and if im out of gas i cant go, if i dont have 12$ for parking i cant go...i dont want to have to worry about those two factors...i want to be able to go see my baby. I know that area isnt the best but if i can get a place near the hospital and elementary school that would be soooo awesome.
Its crazy to think all this is about to happen too. Ebony and Kai are about to be done with school, raiden just had his 1yr birthday, wyatt is 2months old.... my kids are growing and our family is getting stronger everyday threw all the trials that we have and are going threw and about to go threw. Im so glad that i have my friend Bev to help me spiritually threw this. Having my weekly bible studies has been such a help. Iv been able to go to one meeting and praying that i will be able to start going more regularly. Ebony loves going but she woke up this morning round 4am with a nasty cough and complaining of a sore throat for the past few days....looks like i will be quarantining her for the next 24 hours so that she can get better.
With all this chaos im surprised at myself when i catch myself thinking of more kids!! I dont think i would really want more in this system tho. All the hardships and trials that there are. Not to mention the risk of having another heart baby. We are by far not out of the woods with raiden, so to have another i think would be to much for me. Looking forward to the new system, and then building a large farmhouse for my huge family lol
Poor wyatt is having a hard time coping with his 2month shots. He has been spitting up a bit more than usual and just a tad on the fussy side. He got a fever just once and tylenol helped that go away. But hes not back to himself just yet. Hoping that he will feel better soon, hoping that kai and raiden dont get sick...cuz if they do then i know in a weeks time mark will get sick and then just a few days later it will be me. Time to sanitize LOL

Where has A the Laundry gone?
Iv done 9 loads of laundry, i still have 5 maybe to go. First time all day that iv gotten on the laptop. Thing scares me now. Cant wait for us to get the new ipads so that i dont have to use this broken thing again.
Happy news of the day. Raiden has officially started walking! He falls every so often but he is on the go! Has taken two naps today after running up and down the hall. He is so strong and such a trooper! Sigh, now for hubby to cam down and de-stress, tho thats easier said than done.
LOL raiden just fell and walked up to the chair and told it that it wasnt nice!! Man i love this kid!!

Its all Lost
This morning i woke up to see that our computer had locked us out. I did some research on the desktop and -found out the laptop had a virus. The only Free way to fix it was to re-boot the system. In doing so i lost all my pics of raidens birth and wyatts birth. Also lost all my pics of raidens surgeries! Im so crushed right now. But i know my mom and sister have some pics so i can get some of them back. I also lost pics of my older two kids.
The L key sticks now as well wich i dont get but i would take a sticking key over viruses on the computer.
Time to start this horrible day. Need to finish laundry and clean the kitchen. Sigh....

2 days, all stress
Yesterday wasnt all that productive. Sure my hubby was able to stay home from work, yes we ran errands. But overall nothing really got done except maybe a load of laundry. Today on the other hand!!!
First thing this morning i ask the kids if they would put their dirty clothes in the hamper. They decided that they wanted to put their dirty clothes in their closet instead and get mad at me for asking them to put it in the right spot. Take my daughter to school, and then round 9am i get the most awesome phone call. Miss thang told her teacher that she was hungry and that mommie and mark eat breakfast but dont feed her. REALLY?!?!?!?! Yes this morning i forgot breakfast, but i never let them not eat. Sigh, the things kids tell their teachers. I had to do an advance on marks account just to make sure we could go out and buy "snacks" for ebony seeing how im "forgetting" to do that too! The school that she goes to is awesome academically but it sucks when it comes to the teachers butting into families lives, especially when the family is struggling and all they do is hinder instead of help. So i bought the biggest bag of carrots so that ebony can have a healthy snack and we have a thing of oat meal so she can have breakfast.
Our rent is going up starting april 1st, so we may have to move. We want to stay but if we dont qualify for the new rent price then we are forced to move before the kids school year is over, and i flat out refuse to drive them back and forth like i did when ebony was in kindergarten.
On a happy note raiden has begun to walk...not all the time he needs to be coaxed but he is defiantly trying. Im so proud of that fat boy!!

School or no School...how embarrassed was I!!
I was so excited to get the kids ready for school this morning! I had changed raiden and wyatt, pulled out clothes for ebony and kai to wear, and had given all breakfast. All this before 7am!! I was in such a good mood, and so ready for them to go to school!
Well I get her to school by 7:45 just in time cuz class starts at 7:50...but no one was there, i mean there were cars there and grown ups but there were no kids. I finally asked a woman if there was school and she said no, and if i had checked the schools web page. Well i had just the day before and from the calendar it said that only monday was a day off school but apparently i was the only one that didnt get the memo of no school! As disappointed as i was for them not to go to school, i took advantage of our last day together and had them run errands with me :)
Our first stop was walmart...gotta love walmart! Found a awesome book for raiden for only #3.95! Im a little sore form moving the apartment around yesterday but its a good pain lol After walmart i went and got wyatt's birth certificate. I thought i was going to have to drive downtown, but found out that there was a county clerks office 15min away instead of 30min! I still wasted like half a tank of gas almost but i was able to see my friend before heading back home. In that time i had called the apartments to let them know that my washer machine was broken, 5 hours later someone finally came by to check it out. And thank goodness they were able to fix it cuz i have 6 peoples worth of laundry to do...soooo not a good thing..a grown mans two infants and then me and the kids..yea im sooo behind on laundry im almost to scared to start it!
Right now the kids are watching Kung Fu Panda 2...this is like the thousandth time that they have watched it. I like it too so that makes it nice, its annoying when they love a cartoon or show and i find it soo annoying lol They have already had their dinner now i need to worry about mark. Im sure he doesn't want to eat cheesy noodles with hot dogs LOL
Time to get the kids clothes ready for tomorrow (they actually go to school tomorrow!) start at least one load of laundry, and maybe finish cleaning the kitchen. All the kids need a bath too. Good night all :)

The Moving Game
Last night mark and i talked about how the living room needed some re-arranging. Well i got a wild hair up my butt today and re-arranged the living room. Dusted everything, vacuumed at least 5 times. I was going to clean the kitchen too after i had made the kids lunch but i fell asleep with wyatt for 2 hours!! Guess i was tired, but due to marks new rule for me that im not to drink coffee after 2pm im still tierd right now. No caffeine in my system and no soda in the house. I have cool aid but that's sooooo not the same. Im proud of what i got done but there is still soooo much more to do. If mark thinks he can come home and not like it he can move the living room back himself LOL
Mark still hasn't taken down our tree in the extra room. Yet he got onto me about not cleaning the kitchen up to his standards! Im sorry our dishwasher is a piece of crap and that it didn't get the dishes smooth lol But in the end i still have to do that too. Sigh the laundry is piling up and the management office is still closed, yes that's right so far the past 3 days 6peoples worth of laundry has been piling up! Hoping that they are open tomorrow and that they can get to it before the day is over! They have been known to wait like 3 days before even coming over to fix anything for us. Let alone them fix it right the first time!
Now its time to think about what im going to make for dinner before mark gets home from work. Not a lot to go on but pork is on the menu. Ray loved his lunch of mac n cheese and hot dogs. I know the kids aren't hungry cuz i made so much at lunch they just finished the rest like 20 min ago. And bed time is in 2 hours so they will probly eat a apple and off to bed for them! Tomorrow they go back to school! Thank goodness!! Love the kids but love when they are in school so much better!

January 1st 2012
This is the time for better time management. Im making it a goal (not a resolution) to blog everyday, take a picture of the kids every day, and to tell my husband that i love him everyday. Another goal of mine is to be a better wife and mother. I know with 4 kids there are tons of stresses and i dont want those stresses to hurt my relationship with my husband, let alone me getting to irrateted with the kids. My favorite goal is that i will be attending mettings again. I went this morning and it was wonderful! So peacefull and the information i learned was awesome as well. My final goal is to spend the whole year to get to my ideal weight. I know its going to take time and dedication so im using the whole year to work on it.
Raiden is doing awesome! His meds are the same but he goes to the cardi every 3 months now! Im so proud of how his little body is staying strong. I am so in love with that little boy that i would just go crazy without him. He has the body of his father. He looks like a mini football player. Such a cutie pie.
Wyatt is doing well also. He is gaining weight (from what i can see) beautifully, for a breast fed baby that is. Ebony and Kai are doing great. Almost time for them to go back to school from their winter break. Going to have a fun time figuring out a way better schedule. With feeding raiden lunch and nursing wyatt while waiting for ebony and kai to get out of school i see myself having my work cut out for me!
Here is to a new year and better decisions :)
