On The Verge of a Heart Attack

In the process of changing e-mail addresses and updating accounts, we had taken Clint's student loan button off his blog. The other day, he received a comment from and old friend asking where his button had gone. We realized we never put it back. He found some new art for the button, I tweaked it, and we added it back on. Within a day his friend had donated 100 bucks to Clint's college relief fund. Can you believe that shit. That bad boy is in deferment right now, which means all money sent in comes immediately off the principle. How friggin' exciting is that?

Do you want more? We just got our first check from google (Thank you Google and Thank you to those supporting the google ads). It was enough to pay off a credit card. Next payday, we will payoff another and then we are down to one. We will have that paid off in about 2 months. I cannot believe it. My next big project is to pay off my debt to my old boss. She has been so gracious and patient. I have been able to pay off some interest charging credit cards first. I know I have never really talked about her before, but she was and is more like a mother. A mother that is also your best friend. I can talk to her about anything and she seems to just love me so much. Crazy unh? Someone love me? hee hee

Well anyways, Clint and I are really getting our acts together. We want to do the best we can for our kids. That is our priority. All our priorities changed when we had kids. They are so beautiful and are really such gifts. We want to get ourselves in a position where we can give our kids things we were unable to have (we do not want to give them everything...It is good for the soul to not get everything you desire. Teaches you things you wouldn't learn otherwise). Our parents gave us so much love and we are what we are today because of them. We learned to appreciate and work for what we want. We want to be able to instill those values in our children as well. It is such a fine line parents must walk. I tell you, it is the hardest job I have ever had. It is also the best job I have ever had.

Alright, I will quit rambling. I am just so stoked.

Getting Started

This will be my first blog. I am copying the big brother. Seems like I did that a lot growing up. A little background first. I am the only girl in a family of three kids. We are all grown with our own children and still (even being almost 31) that weirds me out. When did we become adults and what exactly does that mean. We still tease,poke, and prod each other. The funny thing? Now it feels like there is so much love behind it. It seems like we all except each other for our similarities and our differences. Maybe that is what makes us adults. Who knows .

Penis juice and vodka

We have one more week of school here, yet my children have already disconnected the brain switch. I hate to tell them but we will home school throughout the summer. Luckily for them we can get our work done in less then two hours with only three kids and of course the fact that I sneak projects in throughout our everyday activities. Ethan decided he is exempt from the school dress ode because school is almost out and the daughter has jumped on that band wagon. I decided to let it slide. I figure a cute little t-shirt isn't going to ruin any one's grades, they were all turned in on the 24Th, so we will see if I get a call from the school. So today's little golden nugget of delight is brought to you by Ethan. Mom:Ethan, quit messing with your business. Go to your room if you want to do that. Ethan: I am not messing with it, it hurts. It feels like I am going to bleed when I pee. Mom: Oh honey, I am sorry but you will have to go to your Dad. He is in charge of penises. I handl

THE AMAZING RACE

I had never watched this show until the season with the "little person". That immediately caught my attention. I have watched The Amazing Race faithfully since then. Last night was the two-hour season premiere. There are two very interesting teams this time. One is a former POW with his girlfriend and the other....Rob and Amanda from survivor!!! Awesome. Everyone is pissed though. They all keep making comments about how they do not deserve to be there because they have already won. I think it is great that they are there. They do not have any kids. They have already won money to pay those pesky bills, why not see the world while they have the chance. I would. I hope they win, just to piss everyone else off. They could be reality TV junkies and go on every show. Next....American Idol? HA HA HA
