"joke joke"

ahhhh, the famous words of Brother Sonny Jones!!! I didn't lie (BETH!!!) .......I had issues...lol, we all know I have issues but heres the story=

ok, so I did promise pics...I was sooo excited too update on all the new things!!

THEN I got home, got everything ready- meaning my sweet tea, camera, kiddos in bed, and Jonathan occupied for at least a 1/2 hour....went to plug in my camera to my laptop (because it doesn't have a port for the card) and my cord is long gone....at work.

so, here I am at work...working....actually blogging and watching mom work and listening to my machine run and as soon as I get my stuff caught up in graphics I am going to do some uploading...just don't tell mom....haha

wooooooo hooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I have remembered my password!!!! I promise that when I get home...since I am still at work....I will update my blog!!!! Instead of doing a bunch of different days I'll give months in review by pictures :-)

recap of this past week really fast:

Alicia works too much when Diane is out of town because her mom makes her ;-)

Ashlyn lost her first tooth on Easter!!! How lucky is she! the toothfairy and the easter bunny in 24 hours, sheesh!!!

We had to put down one of our cats today...I don't really like the cat....but I felt really bad!!! I was the one taking him to the vet and the whole way there he kept crying and I just kept telling him "Oh, Chubaka, you are sooooo silly, you will be home soon, they are just going to remove your manhood" then I would giggle.....then Jonathan tells me that he's not comming home....yeah, talk about guilt!! Turns out he has feline aids. He was a stray so we have no idea where he got it or if he was born with it or what. Just say a little prayer for out other cats: Trouble (my cat for almost 15 years), Billbo Baggins (Jonathan's other outside cat), Princess Baby Cleopatra...Cleo for short (ashlyn's inside cat), Mr. Spooks & Mr. Tinkles...our inside cats....we have to get them tested to ensure they are not infected or sick. wow....I'm turning into the old cat lady......yikes!!! Oh well, I am surrounded by love...espically when I bring them food!

Ashlyn is showing signs of getting the flu...PLEASE Pray!!!! I can't stand it when my babies are sick!!!

Jak is just as cute as ever!

Oh, and we now have pet salamanders......GROSS....o the things your husband will do to make your kiddos happy......I live in a zoo!!! lol

ok, so I am now going home so that I can spend time with my fam since I am starting to forget what they look like after working sooooooo much!!!!

I will post pics tonight!! PROMISE!

thank you jesus...

for our food ,for our friends and family too
Thank you Jesus
for all you do
thank you God,
AMEN!
this is sung, not said and the tune is the same as the awana cubbies song....so adorable!!

That is the kids prayer they learned at CAI. I love it, they love to pray at dinner time now and if we are out to eat and don't remember Jak is the first to correct us. Its so precious because he usually doesn't want people to hear him sing but when it comes to this prayer song he never forgets, just like elanor the elephant I guess, haha. yeah, so anyways, we were at mamaws apartment the other sunday and he said he didn't want to say prayer so dad started, well after Jak realized that papaw wasnt saying it the way that it was supposed to be done he interrupted the prayer and said his own...then hiccuped in the middle.

The kids just seem like they get smarter by the day....its crazy!!! Ashlyn is a genius, I swear. and BEAUTIFUL, those eyes get me almost every time....almost :-) She went on an adventure with her granny, mamaw and mommy today. we went to see Nutcracker. It was great!!! she was sooooo well behaved and fascinated by everything, espically the fairies:-) then she stated that she wants ballet lessons....we will see.
Her new fav pass time is being on the computer. I no loger have access to my laptop until after 9 pm lol. she loves playhouse disney.com and the cartoon network site. it craks me up because she knows how to enter a username and password that has been set up and if you try to do it for her....watch out!!!! she is her mothers daughter.

We had our Christmas party for PIP/Bethlehem saturday. it was soooo much fun!! everyone got all dressed up and it was just a great time. Santa even made a guest appearance. Ashlyn got a hannah montanna barbie that sings...drives me nuts but it will grow old in a month or 2. she got the song memorized after 3 minutes I tink....it took me a day lol. she loves to sing! Hopefully she gets up and sings at the christmas program on the 20th...we'll see. if not oh well. I would share some pics from the party and the kids but i am suffering from broken camera syndrome and hate to go spend more money on a camera right now but i feel lost with out one......i am tempted to do it but i have to look at the budget first...BOO! oh well, i guess i could always borrow the one from work......lol until i leave it at home and someone needs it and i get in super duper trouble for being irresponsible. i think ill spend the money :-)

well, i am ready for christmas. seeing the play at church made me anxious to see my family and share memories. it was soooo cute! i have to say it was weird seeing gary allen in the choir instead of leading....hmmmmmmm, different!

well, MERRYCHRISTMAS everyone!!!!

oh, something i forgot.....Jak is a total mommas boy. I LOVE IT! he would rather go shopping with me than hang out with the boys, go to mcdonalds, hang with papaw or even stay the night away from me. I have mixed felings about this right now....i love the fact that he want to tekt me as he would say (protect) but i mean, seriously, I wanna go to the tanning bed for 20 mins and he just cries and then i feel bad for leaving him at home with his daddy. call me selfish if you may but im going to go nuts if he does this for the next 18 years!! Ido have to say that i love it though...hes my lil man and hes a good boy. i shouldn't complain because in the next few years he probably won't think he needs me anymore...ok, i take it all back, forget my 20 minutes of me time and give me a bed full of stuffed animals, a bowl of popcorn and toy story movie 3x in a row mixed with a lil jak and i am in heaven :-)

thank you jesus for all you do, thank you god, AMEN!

TGIF :-)

and I'm not talking about the one on 4th street :-)

I have to say thank you to all who sent me encouraging words, you are all so sweet.

Other than today being hectic and nutty it wasn't bad....I would much rather be blogging like this lady....what could you honestly focus on....honestly!!!! I would maybe be playing spider solitare or something...but work...DON'T THINK SOOOOO,

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!! We are going to be super busy between girls night, a wedding and a yard sale (haha, that would make for a great movie title) tomorrow and a baby shower on Sunday....maybe I'll call in sick on Monday..

JUST KIDDIN' Jess and mom.....or am I.....time will tell.....ok, everyone pray that I don't jinx myself and get sick now, I haven't the time!!!!

<3>

excuse me for a moment!

while I scream!!! I get soooo tired of things not going my way. I know thats selfish but please listen while I moan and groan for a bit....oh, and while I'm blogging...every time you see the *** that means machine jam...this will give you some insight to my frustration...and some humor to myself!

I love my job, not many people can say that. I like working with my family, my friends and the new friends that I have made along the way. I don't like it when my machines break, when people break my machines (just kidding jess and KQ :-) ***and when they just plain don't want to work. Its quite humerous at times. I think that our repair man thinks I am insaine because while he is fixing one I am threatning to break the other. ***Hes not too cool with the whole "copier abuse" issue that I have. Honestly though, why can't things just work?!?!?! It all started Thursday:***

I stayed home from work cause my*** lil Jak was sicky. We had a great day besides the whiiiiiiiiing!! (I don't know where he gets that!!) So I call the office to give mom my "to do" list. I am talking to her when she breaks the news*** to me that my motherboard in my computer crashed. *** AHHHHHHH! NOOOOO is what I say to myself. Luckily I know the owners will take good care of me and get me a new one or set me up something that will work for a while until mine gets back. Friday I go in....I was a lil bored..I had both kids and I was frustrated. Needless to say I occupied myself with being out of the office and running errands and seeing customers. It wasn't too awful. So I get back late friday and go to do the EOD paperwork and nothing wants to add up....grrrr.... oh welll, mom fixed it for me so I could go :-) Saturday we had our floors waxed and redone so I had to be there to let the guys in..no biggie...saturday night I go up to check on stuff and reset the alarm and about die tripping over everything that was out of place....I laugh it off and go on.

Monday: dunt dunt duh!!!!!! I dressed skanky since I knew that we would be moving a desk so that I could have more room......It wasn't so bad since my Uncle Butch had to get dirty. I think people were a little frustrated since the whole office was out of wack but thats how it goes. One thing that is for sure to happen is change at our shop. Besides, I DIDN'T have a computer to work on, until about 3pm.

Tuesday: I hate vista....for those who like it, may God bless you! Nuff said, it makes me want to scream***!!!!!

After being here from 7:15ish till 6:30ish...I was done!

Wednesday: NO COMPUTER on the network. I tried to work...really...but just couldn't get anything done! I had to walk away :-) we had a dinner for the November b-days at work so I burried my sorrows in green beans, corn, taco dip, chicken, brownies, dumplins, cake, diet pepsi, deviled eggs, and pasta salad and rice steak stuff. Yah, it was worth it! Finally after the computer guy was working on it for like 6 hours he had no answer and left me to be mad!*** Oh, and the machine called for a maintenance call in the middle of a rush job for Cara & Beth...grrrrrrrr

Thursday (today): YAH!!!!! I have the network!!! I can't print anything.....but I can work!!!!! until everything went wrong....as soon as Diane leaves (yah, it's her fault j/k) the machine won't run my job in the right colors for Christian Academy...I have to RUSH a sample to new albany, tell her whats going on...find a solution to meet thier standards...and get back and run it on the slowest machine on earth!!!!! So, while I'm gone, two of my lovely ladies try to help me and run a job.....lol, they tried. I love em, nuff said (it really wasn't their fault but don't tell) so my reapir guy comes back, fixes 1 machine while i kick the other***

now here I am sitting listening to both machines run and have a smile on my face thanks to the applesauce cake provided by SHerry and the DP from mom :-) Hopefully I make it home in time to see my kiddos, read our bible story;tonight's noah's ark, go over our verses for cubbies and school, say our prayers and watch Grey's. Time will tell.

It's funny though...I have to laugh because I refuse...REFUSE to let this machine get the best of me......God grant me patience***

Halloween

Halloween, oh what funny things we see....witches hats, cole black cat's, broomsticks, goblins, mice and rats!!!!!

That is what mom used to sing to me and now I sing it to my little ones. Ashlyn thinks its hilarious and JAK says to stop singing :-)

Lots have not been going on.....I have been working and playing....Same ol stuff with the kiddos.

They love Cubbies and school and the new dog and the property. LIFE IS GREAT!

Enjoy some spooky pics of the kiddos!

The zoo was awesome!

So cute! Before Jak got his picture taken there was a couple with a tiny baby so Foina sat on the throne. When Jak walked up for his pic he kept telling here that he was a big boy and wanted to sit by himself.....sorry princess, theres a king in town :-)

I'm not sure what hes telling him but I don't think hes listening
What do you mean theres no more Trick or treating?!?!?!
