Hello
Good Evening! I can't believe that it's already the 20th tommrow where has the month of October gone. Once it's seems to get started every month just seems to fly by. I had a great weekend it started me,my mom and our two daughters went out to Utica stopped at Morley chocolate factory and we got to see them boxing and making chocolate (we got a few pieces but its alot there) then we walked about Partridge creek mall and checked out the stores as we have before but my mom never went with us and finally stopped in Nino's fruit market....I love that store I got an huge 10lb pumpkin for only $5.00 I cant wait to crave that monster should be instering for all of us,lol then we went to dinner at Brenns Steakhouse not too much than applebees and they do things like $2.00 kid meals plus the food was very good,it was worth the trip and to take everyone back,speically the ones who didnt get to go.

There was a table of about 20 teens who were dressed up for their homecoming prom with the guys trying to look grown-up and all the girls in their beautiful dresses looked great although I must say many of them didnt fill out the
top half (must have been something in the water back then lol). But they looked like they were having a good time.
We got home about 8pm very tired but it was a nice day. Sunday, the girls went over my mom's house cause
they had a plan they didnt wanna tell us about...so me,hubby took off to do some of our own shopping
we always hit target for new sales weekends and stopped ay Meijers to get some groceries than we went to
hollywood video where they're doing this special like rent so much movies for xxx amount per month blockbuster also does it but Hollywood video was a better deal with three items(movies or video games), discounts on snacks,pop and dvd movies to buy so we went with them on the one we picked it cost $40 per month.Its pretty cool we rent as many things per month as we want too(only three at a time).We have netflix and they're good with the mail and get them within a day or two plus we watch movies off our xbox and have used redbox many times.
My husband tired Gamefly and didn't like it (it has taken us a week to get the game by mail.)so thats canceled.

Today was an ehh uh ok day, I took the kids to school ontime and then hubby was home from work so I had him work on some halloween plans. Me and my mom went to breakfast where I dropped my phone in the parking lot and it fell apart then we went on to Sams club (she bought me my xmas present) and some other things we
didnt need lol.... then onto Rays meat market, I also love that store,then we stopped in Jennifer corvitables
where I almost got a new couch but the lady was rude,mean and pissed off my mom so we left. I found a
halloween store we stopped to check it out and didnt find anything but Sallys beauty supply store sells the
styoform heads where they wigs sit on so I went over to buy some for my halloween yard.Once I was home
with the kids we worked on some halloween decor for the house while we waited on rentacenter, yes I
returned the second couch Ive had from them for three reasons, one they pissed me off and two
it was too much a week and the third they pissed me off, I won't go into why cause its pretty boring story.
But we did rent an awesome tv / fake fireplace stand (I will take a picture of it and put it up here) in place
of the couch though of course at cheaper price. And since we didnt have a place to sit and watch TV
we bought the gold color couch we purchased two years ago back in from the garage and I hate it but yeah it will work for now plus doesnt cost us anything. My mom went on with her chorces around her house and manged to
fall against her brick house and hit her head then sliced her hand on an opened can lid lucky she didnt
wanna goto the hospital, but I dont mind taking her if it was nessacary but might I remind you thats the same
place where she had her surgery back in May for cancer and was back there twice after she was finally discharged from her three week stay. I guess today bad omen was just on our side. I really hope with the day all to myself
that it's better than today.Though it wasnt bad for everyone my daughter won a $20 gift card to barnes/noble
at school from friday,so guess where you can find me for about an hour after school tomrrow.

Well I better get myself to bed now and catch up with everyone later. Take care for now, Goodnite Sara

Whoooooa I'm so glad this weekend has finally ended. We had an excepted guest until 6pm today wanna guess who it was?  My mom ! 
All in all it was an pretty productive weekend I got alot done around the house but my husband ended up getting sick that started about Friday night.
My mom came over knocking on the door about 9am, oh gesh no on weekends we get up at the lastest possible time. I ask what you doing here,
and she continued to tell me.... she was waiting her neighbor to have the time to help a family member with her new stone tile kitchen floor
for two weeks and this weekend they're ready so she needed a place to sleep (cause she works midnights).So once my girls were up she
took one of their beds and it worked out pretty well.My husband called off work and we sat around the house, then all went to Ihop for dinner
(dont go to the one on ford rd in dearborn heights I always have bad service but this last time was terrible) came home and she went to work.
Sunday, me and my husband and one of our daughters took a drive out to redford to pick up some clothes from freecycle and then headed out
to bloomfield hills they have an terrific target that is up stairs and the parking is under it,like at the hospital.We got back home,
my mom was kind enough to purchase kfc for dinner AWESOME and it was so good.Today started the new week with school and work....
so up I was at 645am to get the kids dressed and head for school.When I got back home my husband still didnt feel good so he took another day off work and we went to the drs (lucky for him he has, upper resp infection and is on antibodies,you know)but thats actually good news cause if he
had waited to go and it turned to penioma he would now be in the hospital, he had his spleen removed four years ago this Oct.This afternoon we stopped and grabbed our son and got our youngest daughter from school early and stopped off at Sprint halloween looking for costumes with no luck we headed home.And lucky tonight my mom's kitchen floor was all done and it loooks great! She just needs her bathroom updated and living room painted and thats about all for now.It felt just like a very busy weekend.....but I'm glad it's past us.

My biggest worry .... It's hard to just penpoint one I have a few.... With dealing with dte and just having our
power turned off because of not having the money I guess I'd say that (stay on that no shut off program)
we both work full/part time jobs and we do have enough to cover the bills but we let the dte go and it
got to high and then we didnt have the cash to cover the whole bill. Other issues I worry about  is my
mom for sure and my own family. Where we'll be in five more years but those I just keep to myself.
I guess everyone at one time worries about the same.Cause who knowns what life will give them.

Well here we're with another summer past us.Soon we'll all be bitching that its too friggin cold to walk from our cars into the house in the 3 feet of snow and ice. And where did the summer go.When I was younger it seemed it took forever for those three months to pass by and now it just flies without notice of what season we're in.
Don't get me wrong I love that the seasons changes here with different things happening but my two favorite are spring and fall (probably cause I love the apple orchards.pumpkin patches and halloween). Just never seems
like there is enough time to get out of the city and hit the beaches with the family.

I can't wait that my kids go back to school in Sept cause it will give me some alone time at home,boy that will be different without anyone home.Lucky I was smart to pick up some supplies as the august weeks went on and
was able to buy them at sale prices now they're all set with everything they need to start with plus refills at home,
and we still had alot leftover so I helped two families out with supplies (that felt nice to lend an hand). 
I have two going back into middle school they will be in seventh grade and one still left in elem who will be in
5th grade but this is her last year there. Gosh I feel older with every year that passes, as I see the kids grow
and our son get taller I think he now stands 6'2 at 14 years old(in nov).My daughters are into sports Sarah
wants to go back into track this fall with school and Carly just ended her summer baseball season and
last year did band but informed me that she doesnt want to go back in so I dont know what she wants to do
I encourage them to get involed with something but we don't push it.I think thats wrong with parents who
do that and Ive seen it.With our son he doesnt care much about sports but loves video games and
wants to get into that kind of job which I think is great.

Me.my husband are doing good, we have our bad days and our good ones but we're working thru what life
throws at  us. He is doing well at this job going on 1yr and 4 months now lucky he has made some sales
which give us some extra money in his paycheck...Were having an issue cause I hate to go get him once it starts to get late and he can take the bus home cause he gets off at 8-9pm and I work three days at 6am.
We got a birthday invite for one of his younger newphew
for this Saturday which I dont think we'll be going cause thats his sister and her nasty household plus he works
no way will I be going alone and the girls already said,no thank you.

I have a friend who is excepting her first son but second child (she is a great mom) and we hang out alittle
when we can get together and we have helped each other over the past five/six months.Her/boyfriend have fights and agrue alot and it just seems like they should part ways but for real in their hearts they love each other and I dont think they want too.I think she needs to kick him out for he relizes what he has at home.I for sure dont want her to do the wrong thing though and be blamed for it..Anyways my plan is to go over her house tomrrow after work and put blonde(I wanna go white streaks) in my dark brown hair I have no idea how it is dark I have no color in it.I know I cut it short to grow it out healthly but I need another change and I cant go any shorter than it is now(since I want it long again).So we'll have to see what it does and how it looks once were done. 

On my other foot (cause I ran out of hands) there is my mom who went back to work over a week now she has
diff views on it at times cause she can't stand some of the people she works with.But she loves the patients
and it was good to go back and see everyone again.She has been there since I was four so she has made some friends although they dont always work together and she has always with the patients(some have passed away)
of course she has her bad and good nights since she's still on midnights,fulltime. But she is doing good....
She went back this Monday for an ultrasound to check her uthera where they accidently cut it to make sure it
was healing and working as it should and her blood count etc I dont think she heard the results yet. 
We see her quite a bit every week cause we live around the block from her either we go over and visit or
she comes to our house and the kids are always back/fourth though our son has been at her house all summer.

As for my mother inlaw, we haven't seen her in three months, we asked about going to Greenfield village last 
weekend but that didn't go as planned. I think it's a shame she doesnt care about her grandkids from her only son and I believe he holds a grudge about not being in his life much since he has gotten older.She doesnt even
stop to visit on birthdays or holidays but she will goto her stepson's house which is in Southgate and we're in Lincoln Park.Doesnt matter to me cause I dont care for her much and I rather her not have at least my cell phone
number cause of her husband (who has tried and made sexually advantages to me).Bill doesn't see him as 
any relationship to him whichi s good and why his other sister has nonething to do with the family too. 
They all try to hide and forget it but we've called him on it many times,he just denies it and plays it as it's my fault.
whatever  I dont want you around my family and for sure not my kids at all.I have told my girls to stay away 
when they do come around. 

So September plans leads too, Our vacation we didn't get to take during the summer due to low on money and
running out of time. So we're going upnorth to Ludington (we really love the town) already have a motel room
holding for us at one of our usually places. I wanna run all around town with the lighthouses/beaches/state park/shoppin in town and no doubt we're gonna jump into the water which is off lake michigan. We went up two
years ago but could only stay one night cause the motels were booked so we can come home late on Saturday.
But we have stayed many times over the past five years we've been going there, one summer we ever stayed a whole week and the kids remember every time we went there or on vacation....I'm glad cause I wanted to do the same as my parents did with me....with the memories I have of frankenmuth.coldwater.mackinaw city.
We've heard since last we were at the motel it has changed hands with cheaper rates and has more accommdites in the rooms which is great cause a microwave/ref is a huge plus when you have kids with ya
and you can just purchase drinks and snacks rather then going out and spending money to eat. We have to
stop and have dinner at House of flavors its a restranut with a ice cream parlor with the best food and it's a must
before we leave hopefully not too busy in Sept. Of course we have to check out the stores in town and see
what has changed,moved or stayed the same. We did have a nice summer although we didn't run around much,
we had a bad start with having to move (but I  do love the house) and my mom in the hospital .We hanged with friends for the 4th of July,  Went on two road trips (one to the beach), Me.my mom and kids spend the day at
Toledo Zoo that was alot of fun although a little warm.Had a couple garage sales and made some money.
Went to the downriver dream cruise. And just spend time together as a family (we go bowling once/twice a week). 
It was a nice,busy and very fast passing summer this year.  

Well I think thats about all gossip and info I have, if anymore pops up I will be writing another journal.
- Take care to everyone who reads and I hope you have a great weekend - Sara

Good Morning!

I can't believe that we only have one more month of Summer,and then it's back to school for the kiddos and sends me running around trying to get where we need to be ontime but than again gives me some quiet and free time at home. Where did the time go? When I was younger it seemed that summer dragged on forever. But I've had a good time with the kids at home don't get me wrong it gives us some time to spend with them.  

Yesterday was a busy day, and I hate the ones where am always running and trying to hurry because I never get dinner cooked and then its just something I threw together and we end up eating late. I started to paint my kitchen
a camarel color cause it was white and although I dont like many colors, I do hate white. I just need to fill in and 
go over with a second coat to finish it up. And I hope that it will be done. It took me an hour just to get it started,
then I took a shower and then off we went  to Carlys eye appointment where it took the dr two hours to get all the exams done  [where it turns out she is 3 points worse than she was an year ago] and then about 4pm we went to eat lunch since no one had time to grab food at home and from there we went to carlys baseball game
they only have one more game left before the all star and her team has pretty much lost evey game they played,
but they had fun and I know carly loved it,so the season comes to an end until next week... her  game yesterday
went over an 1/2 and then put us late to pick up Bill from work and got us home about 8pm for dinner.
I think if it doesnt rain which our weather this week hasn't accompained what the weatherman says it will do [which is a good thing] I just might do another garage sale this weekend.

On the other side, My mom is doing pretty well with her recovering she has been over my house a few times,
since we moved in she is back to driving her car [its has been two months since she last drove]. and we have
spend some time shopping together. So she is getting where she needs to be and supposed to go back to work in August so we'll have to see when she starts. She actually had an summer vacation too bad she couldnt go
anywhere it would have been nice to have gone on a road trip with her. Nice to have time off work just too have sugery and be in the hospital...Not!  Her physical therpy and her nurse the hospital send her home with is
coming for their last visit this week because she is up and doing things on her own they aren't needed anymore,
which is just fine with her because the nurse is driving her crazy lol.

We're still planning a weekend vacation upnorth in August to Michigan Adventures which is cheaper than cedar point and includes there  water / theme park in one for the kids its sincerly worth the trip. And I'm hoping to stop at Ludington for at least the day cause we are missing the beach and we last we're there was two years ago. I'd love to see what has happened to the town since we was last there. I know they were opening some stores and things were being build and places was going out of busincess too. We almost moved up there a few times over the years but its an four hour drive and I cant leave my mom down here alone plus she wont drive on the freeway for that long so she would need to find someone to bring her.But I hope to someday move and retire by the beach :)

My husband's job is going well and he is doing pretty well on names but haven't yet made a sale that we know of,
We're hoping there will be one very soon cause he gets an comission on it and it would help with the summer before it's over. But then again we could always use it for christmas presents too. Well we'll have to see when it is.

I cant believe the kids are headed back to school Sept 7 for mine, time just flies by and never seems like enough time. Carly will be back in band and Im not sure she wants to continue with the clarniet and Sarah wants to join
track again with school and we shall see what she can do this year,she did pretty well last time even won medals and pins for her placement [plus at the end of track we then know that winter is so not long behind]. My son on the other hand still hasnt gotten into activites in or out ot school so we dont know what he will do. He is on a very bad track with his sleeping habsits he stays up all night and sleeps until 3pm in the afternoon so it will be a chorce to get him up for school but thats ok cause he stays at my mom's house.,lol. I just need to run by and pick him up..

Well I think thats about all that has happened for the time being, I wish you all a grand farewell and look forward to hear more from you more. Have a great week and terrific weekend!
