WoW! Can you say COLD!!! It is freezing here...literally. I don't have warm enough clothes for this kinda weather! This is Florida for goodness sake! I went to Wal-Mart today to get my son a new jacket since his is too small, and can you believe they didn't have not a single jacket!!! Unbelievable.

Anyhow...It's been awhile since I updated and I thought I needed to so you all didn't think I admitted myself LOL.

I ended up getting my day of fun last weekend. Went 4-wheel riding out in the forest. Had lots of fun. I was totally sore the day after, but it was worth it.

I also got to go 4-wheeling again this weekend. We decided to go out to my uncle's property, cook-out, have a bon fire, and just ride out. We made it a family day. We took everybody even invited a couple of friends and their kids. I took handicap (Shawn) for a ride. He loved it. I was scared he was gonna fall off, but he did good. I even took prego(Kim). The trails are flat, so no harm done. I didn't go fast anyway. I didn't get to get any pictures.When you first buy the camera, its internal memory only holds 8 pics. So, I didn't even bother. But after we left, I went to Wal-mart and bought an SD card and now my camera can hold 281 pics!! Whew-whoooo!

Next weekend we are trying to make plans to camp out and ride 4-wheelers again. So I can take some pics now! :) Any volunteers for Babysitting?!?!!??! (Call me) LOL!

My friend had made plans to go out w/me this weekend, but she never called until tonight and I told her she owes me big time for letting me down, so in 2 weekends she is watching all three of my kids for the whole weekend! Isn't that great?!? And she is the one who suggested it. No....I don't want to wait until then to camp.....

Well, work is the same. Has its good days, has its bad. I bought lots of $1.49 stuff today being on the markdowns.

That's all for now FOLKS!

The END!

Talk to yall later!

Today I got to pretend I was a barbar! What fun!

Since last week shawn has been wanting his beautiful hair cut off!

He wants his hair to be all one length to match the area they had to shave for the surgery from his accident. At first I told him no. That he would regret cutting it off. Bobby said he would do it, but when we got outside and all ready for it, he decided not to. He thought he would look stupid. So, I went ahead and did it.

So, I put it in a ponytail (kim wanted to keep his lock of hair) and chopped it right off! Kim started to cry. Which I would've too, if it was my hair. But Shawn wanted it done, so "poof" gone!

 (Almost looks like i knew what i was doing for a girl's style, huh?)

Got the buzzers and finished it off!

And for the Grand Finale.

professional! Not really, cause if you look closely, I kinda tapered this side a little too closely. But I think it doesn't look too bad. I was proud. And he likes it!

This week has been totally exhausting! I am drained. There's a lot of work in going to work everyday then coming home and taking care of 8 people, yes, 8. As of Sunday, Shawn, his girlfriend, and their 2 year old now live with us. Long story, but to sum it up, his mother pretty much just gave up on him. Sad. It's been hard, especially on me cause I am the one who does everything like....cook, clean, laundry, baths, and try to take care of myself. Can you say sleep depravation?!? My house is very small and 4 kids run around the house everyday like zoo animals. Shawn Jr. has a biting, pinching, and cursing problem. Poor little Kaileb looks like he gets beat. He is covered in bite marks and bruises from Jr. pinching him. I just don't know how much longer I can take it. My truck broke down on Sunday, my boyfriend and I have been sharing his truck back and forth to 2 different jobs and picking up the kids. Wednesday night, his truck broke down, while I was driving it, of course.(and I really don't drive bad, either) Thank God, it was something simple and Bobby had it fixed that nite. My truck was fixed last night but I cant drive it until it gets it oil change tonight. Work has been stressful, no payroll and nobody to hire for help. Between me and 2 other ladies at work, we are doing work that 6 people are supposed to do. They've moved me back to stock, which I am not very happy about, because they need the help so bad. "When it rains, it pours". So, I've told Bobby, I don't care what, when or how, that one day this weekend, I WILL have a day of no work and all play. I deserve it! If not, I might have to admit myself! LOL!

I feel alittle more relaxed knowing its Friday and Shawn went out visiting so I have alittle minute to myself. I'm gonna try and go watch my mom's photo shoot tonight for a calendar she is posing in as a showgirl for a charity event. Should be fun.

Well, I hope everyone had a better week than I did, and have a good weekend! TTYL!

After I got back from shopping with my mom, Shawn's mom pulled up in the yard, I thought to come and look at a car we are giving Shawn's girlfriend, but to our surprise, she waved me over to the truck to see SHAWN sitting in the front seat! He is HOME!!!!! It was so awesome! His mom stayed over night w/Shawn last night in an apartment rented  by the rehab center to see how she would do taking care of him alone. It went so well, that instead of coming home Monday, they went ahead and discharged him today! He is going back in for multiple surgeries now to fix the torn ligaments, fractures and dislocations that they didn't bother fixing before. He has about 3 more to go. One on his knee, his hand, and his shoulder. The first thing Shawn did when they got him in his wheelchair, was get right back out of it to show us how much better he had gotten at walking. (remember how the Doctors said he would never walk again...) He is real stiff-legged, but is doing great!  2 months and 4 days and is home now. It felt like forever though.

As for me and work, going good. Within the last week I have been moved form stock to mark-downs. A girl had quit, so I offered to fill the position. My manager didn't like that too much, he says I am too strong and I hold the stock room together, but after a week he put me on. Temporarily. Well, as of last week since I have been on that team, the markdown numbers have gone up so much that he wants to keep me on that full time!  It's much easier...I don't come home totally exhausted and my feet don't hurt me so much. I have a little more freedom and am not being pushed so hard to get stuff done. I like it a lot.

Kids are back to school tomorrow! Yeah! Although, Hailey has been back and Kaileb has been back, so now its time for little Bobby. He's been going to work with his dad during the days making lots of money from little old lady's that say he is just so cute. And, working hard of course just wondering around bothering all the workers. LOL.

Well, I think that is it for now. Thought I would try out the live writer that my mom came over and worked so hard on getting up and running for me. (Thanks mom) And give Deb an update. Sorry, I just have the hardest time finding TIME! :)

And yet another thankyou to those of you who have been praying for Shawn and his recovery. It has done a wonder.
