I always tell people I have more than one kid.. .Rocky is a child and its hard to beleive he will be 2 in December when he acts so much like a puppy.. Ill post the Pony story and pics later on.

Upsetting

Most of the people who read this blog are well aware of the fact on April 11, 2005 I lost my son at birth. I called my dad the other night to check on things in California, see how my grandma was etc. Well he told me he couldnt order Jaxsons headstone quite yet but he would be soon. Ok no biggie we have waited this long to order it whats waiting a little longer. He then tells me I need to change the signature in my emails to not include what it says. I said that just automatically goes with every email I send. Well you need to remove it. I was totally dumbfounded and said Why? he said becuase it upsets him. Well guess what it may upset him but it makes me happy to show that I am remembering him. Seriously its just a little saying and its been there for MONTHS why say something to me now about it. Oh well.. I wanted to tell them well just dont read my emails. I mean wouldnt that be an easier way to resolve the matter. I know dad means well but He cant tell me what to do or how to sign my emails its my freedom of speech etc. He can choose not to read them well at least thats how i feel.

Honsetly does this bother anyone???

WWYD

Ok I am at a total loss as to what to do. And I figured I would blog about it. What better way to get my thoughts out and off my chest right? That is what this blog is all about what is going on in my life and in Skylers life.
Ok rewind to a month ago when my grandpa passed away.. The day of the funeral I hear my uncles  talking about selling this and selling that of Grandma and Grandpas. Now ok.. Grandpa hadnt been gone a week, it was the day of the funeral WHY are you talking about it. I just stood listening. I am sure they didnt want me there but guess what OH WELL I was and I even managed to keep my mouth shut. WOOT
Well during this conversation they were talking about how someone needed to stay with grandma during the night and that Sandy was still willing to, that Sandy would still move in.Well its been a month and Grandma is now by herself except for 4 hrs a day. Thats 20 hrs a day that a lady who is blind is by themself. From sounds of it only my dad and one cousin go to visit Grandma. I know that this is NOT what my grandfather would want for his wife. Fast forward to Wednesday night...... I get an email from my cousin who lets me know that grandma was upset and that grandma had FALLEN that morning. I know my family has there own lifes etc, but they should think about the person who made us all who we are. GRANDMA/MOM. I have called my father about this and he said they are working on something. I was so upset I even emailed an Aunt I just dont understand why its taking so long to get someone to stay with her. I know everyone is busy but damnit grandma and grandpa always made time for us so why cant they?
They really dont want me back out there because I will go and take care of her. All it is is someone who is there for the majority of time esp at night. I hope they get it all figured out before something BAD happens to grandma. Although I will feel bad I will also say I TOLD YOU SO PEOPLE. I will continue to pray that something good comes out of it and grandma gets teh care she deserves. Any advise would be greatly apperciated. Thanks!

New JOB

Well I got a new job and I think I will be happy only time will tell. I am looking for a second job however becuase I took  a huge paycut.
Wish me luck

UGH

So under normal circumstances you would think this blog would be for updating about our normal life, or when something exciting happens but lately all its been is whining but for most part I have tons to whine about. That will soon be changing.

Friday I had a job interview with Tom Thumb Grocery Store. For those of you on the west coast its similar to Safeway.. for those of you on east coast.. I cant recall what its related to there.  Well I did well in the interview and passed the pretest. The new store director has only been there a month but is totally restaffing the store. COOL. Looks like I will be starting beginning of this week. I am really excited. I am also kinda nervous but thats just because its a HUGE pay cut. Oh well life will go on.
I also found out my unemployment has been denied. Guess its ok to have coworkers scream at you and tell you you are nothing as well as push a door in your face. Whatever.. I am filling an appeal to the decsion. I know that my prior EMPLOYER FGR FOOD CORP lied about stuff in their statement and I will make sure it is known. I am getting written statements  from others who have worked with the manager who made me leave. I found out that that manager has slapped people and gotten away with it, she has also threatned sexual harassment on every male she has worked with. YEAH but I was the problem.
Today the boys(cayden and Skyler ) had a lot of fun making forts and playing with the dogs in them.

I really think Rocky liked it the best

Just Becasue

I am not working doesnt mean that my house is the daycare house. I really hate that people think because we arent working we arent busy and dont have things going on and they can just leave their kid here with out even asking if we will keep them overnight or not.
It went a little something along these lines. Skyler stayed with his friend "J" from Friday night til last night. Yesterday the mother texted me asking if Joshua could come hang out for a while yesterday evening. Ok no problem figure she wanted us to keep him for a couple of hours while she went to AA or something. Enter 10pm when we haven't heard a word from her. "J" asked me earlier when he was going home. I answered I really dont know sweetie. So after I took them swimming I had everyone get in PJs and relax the boys were watching tv in Skylers room and just having a good time.Both fall asleep.   My sister got home from her trip in Cali late last night.... so we, Mom and I ,were both up til the weeeeeeeeeeeeee hours of the morning. Not a problem under normal circumstances or if all we have is Skyler and Cayden but with 3 of the boys who dont play well together it makes it difficult.
Fast forward to just after 8 am... My cell phone goes off  ( we are all still sleeping boys included) and its the Mom. She asks if J is ok and I say yeah.. Then asks if me if he is going to daycare today or not. WTF I am not running Janettes Free Daycare for everyone. My response was a little nicer but I am sure there was an edge to it. I said noone told us anything. So now we have to drop J off at daycare because his mother didnt want to pick him up last night , didnt leave her girlfriends house early enough today to pick him up. I really dont get it. Maybe I am not suppose to all  I know is I cannot take much more of his shrieking like an animal, or any of the other behaviors that a 6 yr old should not have. ( that will probably be a post much later today ).
Well I am off to apply for jobs, and do my normal stuff until my mom gets back with my nephew ( we DO keep him ).



And to top it off Mother Nature Hates me today ....

Dog Gone Days of Summer

Last night I got a bright idea to give our dogs a bath once we were up in the morning.
BOY!
That was a chore. Rocky the dog we "rescued" freaked out. He hated the bath at first and kept slipping and sliding. He was a great sport and Lola even got in the tub with him. I wish I had a picture of the two of them together in the bath. Maybe next week when they get another..
Rocky finally settled down and was actually easier to bath than I expected. He just stood there.
But before I washed Rocky I did Lola. WOW can you say I got wetter than her. She loves,and I mean LOVES the water and baths. She allowed me to wash her. And when I was ready to wash her belly she decided to put both paws on my shoulders.

Both dogs are sweet smelling and ran around acting silly afterwards.

I am sure with the heat here in Texas they both loved it.

Thats all I have done for the day oh and laundry that has multiplied several times over.

Just adding this picture because I love it from when we lived in California.
