In the heart of all hearts

My dear friends, even though we may live thousands of miles apart, I am thankful to have all of you in my life. It's all of you, that have kept me going, that I love dearly. I cherish all of you. You make my heart swell to 10 million times it's normal size.
Some of you I have merely talked to on the phone, some of you I have known since high school, but have recently reconnected (thank you Facebook!).
Thank you, each and every one of you for being there through thick and thin. For being able to relate to me, for being there for basically anything and everything.
Truly, I love you, I wish we could be closer. Just to be around each other. I'd love to share ups and downs. Celebrate happy times and comfort sad times. To be around each other in general.
I truly appreciate you. In my hearts of all hearts you are all forever my friends, my sisters. I love you!

Relief

When I lost my job, I lost insurance for all 4 of us. At that point I was just worried about insuring the boys. Wyatt has inhalers and script allergy meds he needs. The inhalers are over $100 a month and his allergy meds are a good $60 a month. Wyatt was getting denied from private insurances left and right because of his asthma, all of them stating that it would cost too much to treat his asthma. Well thank sweet baby jesus, we qualified for Healthy Kids. Which is a state funded medical program. Now I can get his medicines and take Caleb in for his well baby check ups without having a gigantic dr bill.

If you have ever lost insurance, you know how fucking expensive private insurance is, and how picky they are. This whole pre existing conditions stuff that Obama is putting into place doesn't become effective until 2014. So, that helps absolutely no one right now. Not for the next 3.5 years.

Weekend in Portland

So, you know when you go cheap, you really get cheap. We stayed at a Motel 6, because it was cheap. None of the rooms has fridges or micros, or even an alarm clock. The rooms felt like you were sleeping in a sardine can. You know what? We still had fun though. That's all that matter right? RIGHT?

We took the boys to the zoo, they really enjoyed it. My favorite part was the elephants, there was a smaller, either female or baby elephant, that the trainer was having do a little show for us. So Cute! It would bow, play basketball, turn in circles and balance on two feet. Besides everything being majorly over priced it was a great time.

Later that evening we all went down to the pool. I don't even know how long we were in there. Caleb is such a water baby. He loves his little floatie and playing in the pool. He did actually fall asleep for about 20 minutes in his floatie. Wanna talk about cute?? Wyatt isn't much of a pool kid right now. He would get in, but we was content playing with his truck sitting on the steps of the pool.

We are now planning a weekend to seaside in mid september. So much fun!

I'm bored

I'm sitting here, trying to keep myself occupied. Josh is playing Red Dead Redemption, Wyatt is sleeping, and Caleb is off in his own little world. Jibber jabbing to the lady bug on his play pen.

We are taking the boys to the zoo next weekend. We made a little trip out of it because the zoo is 3 hours away from us. So Josh, Wyatt, Caleb, Jenn, Payt, Chase, and I are all going up for the weekend. We are also taking the boys to OMSI. It will be great fun.

This summer is going good. Even though I am not working, my mental well being is so much better. I am a much happier me. Which in the end effects everyone. I am a much happier wife and mom. Which I know josh and the boys truly appreciate. I was getting to the point where I was super moody. Pissed all the time, and tired. Just tired of everytthing. I have now realized, work was the culprit of it all. That hell hole was the reason why I was bitchy and irritable. The reason why I was depressed beyond belief. I am so glad to be done with that place. My life is much better without them.

It's a hot one folks

Today, the boys and I are spending the day in the cool, air conditioned house. I am nursing a twisted ankle. It's suppose to be 100 degrees out today. Wow. Summer definitely came a little late this year, but that's perfectly fine with me. It's not snowing, or cold at all. Yippee!
