Anthony's Turn

Today, Mom went home. This is going to be the first time for her since Dad passed. I had lunch with her today at Dos Pesos, it is the family's favorite mexican restaruant, Dad didnt like it for some reason. However, since his passing I realize it might of had to do with his Brother In Law. Since, is BIL's sister and husband own the place and Dad really didnt care to much for his BIL. Dad was funny like that. But only if he knew what he was missing, he might of overlooked his difference's with BIL.

While, at lunch today. Mom gave me a pocket watch that was given to my Dad, by his Father. Dad had planned on getting it fixed and giving it to me. While I was there I changed the time and wond it up. Low and behold it worked! I told Mom if Dad was here and I told him that it worked he would have said "Well I didnt know!" That was one of his favorite sayings, along with "You didnt tell me!" I'm just sitting here, thinking how much I miss Dad. I dont think I ever told him that I loved him. Dad never talked much about his feelings with us(his children) so I figured it was okay all right with him, if I kept my feelings to myself. So, I guess if you have someone that you truely love you should tell them once every now and then. Since, we never know how long someone will be around.

Today, Heather woke up late. So I had to take the kids to Daycare, some probably think. Why do they even have to go, since I dont work. Well the short story, I have become disabled from a car accident and those disabilites prevent the kids from staying home with me all day everyday. Anyways, as we arrived. Jaxon and Hunter took off towards the school, Hannah wanted to be carried, but I made her walk. Since I dont want her to get spoiled ;) Normally, when I drop them off they will get upset, but not today! Since they where having breakfast, the twins sat down and started to eat. Jaxon was a little upset, I thought I was going to be able to get him to accept that I was needing to leave. Since sometimes I'm able to do that, but thats about 2 out of 10 times.

The family will be home soon, so I need to go and do some chores. Mr. Mom :)

10 years ago: It was 1998 so I was 24. I was working for Rainbow still. Think I was living in Ypsi. Probably with Anthony or maybe about to go on break with him. Didn't have a care in the world, or at least looking back I shouldn't have. Life can change a lot in 10 years.

Things on my to-do list today: Argue with AP special-ed director about Jax program, take care of things on my never ending to do list at work including lesson planning and paperwork for 3 meetings tomorrow, go to mom's to cut Sabrina's nails, get some groceries for the house, do bath night, clean up dinner, and I'm thinking that tonight is an ice-cream night!

What I would do if I were suddenly made a billionaire: First I would quit my job and stay home with my kids, then I would pay off all the bills for me and my family and closest friends, I would build a compound/subdivision for my family and friends to live in (kinda creepy like Michael Jackson, but it would be fun), buy a scrapbook store and hire people to work there, and I would donate lots of money to autism research to find a cure for this crazy epidemic!!!

3 of my bad habits: biting my fingernails, biting off more than I can chew in life, wanting to know everything

3 places I have lived: Novi, MI. Grass Lake, MI, Allen Park, MI.

5 jobs that I have had: Cashier(KMart), Facility/Case Manager at Rainbow Rehab., scrapbook store employee, volunteer program coordinator, paraprofessional, special education teacher

5 things people don't know about me: growing up I wanted to be a lawyer, I have always kept up on General Hospital since the age of 7 (I know sick and wrong, but babysitter watched it), I was actually named after a character on GH and my son Jax is as well, my feet are always facing a certain way when I am sitting on the toilet (my husband makes fun of this), I am finally getting tenured at work after 5 years!

crazy, busy weekend. I felt like this weekend was non-stop. Friday was a night out with the girls. Met Lyndsay's friend Jenny. So sweet. So pregnant. Miss that. When I got home at 10pm Jax says, "Where Lyndsay?" So cute how they all love to see her. Saturday was wedding day. Bobby and Brianna were married. Such a sweet, loving, happy couple. Brought up some feelings. They were high school sweethearts and people talked so much about all they have been through. Their love reminds me of what Anthony and I were like pre-accident. I told Brianna cherish it always, cause you never know. Some wild events at the reception. So needed that fun time. Stressing big time about where and when we are moving. UGH!!! Have a new lead on one in Southgate although probably too good to be true. Sunday was Mia's 4th birthday party. Mia is Jaxon's future bride. Love to see them together. Jax did such a good job. I was so proud of him. It's funny how much I worry about events like this, never knowing how he will react. I don't even think there was one single meltdown. Found out that he likes to bead things. Will be heading to Michael's to get some beading projects. The twins were hilarious. Hunter found a girlfriend, or should I say a girl found him. Kerry's cousin's daughter Jessie walked right up to him and hugged him when she saw him. Then she proceeded to take his hand and try to leave with him. This happened several times. He just went along with whatever she wanted. He is going to be such a good husband some day! hee hee! Hanny B is such a GIRL!!! She decorated her own crown all by herself. When I went to help, she was furious with me to even suggest she needed any assistance. Lots of bling on her crown! Can't wait til we can craft together. Kerry always goes overboard in the party gifts. Hanny got a Disney princess purse filled with girly princess things. So funny to see her loving it all. Oh, and one last thing... the little blow toys were the biggest hit ever. It was so cute to see them all figure out how to make them work. Well speaking of work, I should go get ready and start the week. Lots of meetings and issues this week. UGH!!!

So glad I found this photo. After searching to no avail for a picture of myself for the blog profile, I came across this wonderful moment. I love seeing the look on papa's face with Jaxon. This was at Kamrons 6th birthday party. Jax was just 3 months old. I am so sad that my children will not have memories of their papa. This photo means the world to me.

Pretty good weekend. Great scrapbook class with Melodee Langworthy and mom-in-law. Went to visit Carla. Had some one on one time with Jax. It is hard to know what is best for him right now. Trying to get everything organized for his schooling and therapies. Didn't ever think I would be here. He had a good day today. Can be so loving and caring at times. Makes it hard to understand the bad times. Can't believe Hanny B is potty trained. Hunter is so independent right now. They grow up too fast!!!
