Hi

This past weekend was so nice. The boys came over to stay the night on Friday because we were taking them to the pool on Sat. I was a little anxious since it would be the first time the both had spent the night.

They all had a great time though Friday night. It's like my three sons, but not so traditional I guess you could say. We got up early and ate breakfast and got ready to go to the pool. I was so excited. Since I am not working and don't really know to many people, I pretty much stay around the house right now. But Sat. I was bursting with excitement. I couldn't wait to leave and got everyone ready like an hour before it was even time to leave.

The community center has 2 indoor pools. One is a lap pool and one is like a miniature water park. There's a big slide, a small lazy river, and a place for kids to play, with a little water play gym. For around 20 bucks we went and played and spent the entire freaking day. All the kids were tired and so were we...but we weren't done yet...I was a craving some Pizza.

The boys got to spend the night again, since it was fathers day...and I really wanted it to be special for him. On Sunday I could hear him moving around upstairs, but I wanted the boys to sign some cards and surprise him with them. They were all giddy and happy to give him something. So I made a plan and told them. I went upstairs to get him, and within 5 minutes, all boys had forgotten the plan. Heh...it was cute though. Donnie coming up the stairs with the card from him and Shawn behind his back.

We spent the day at the park, my 4 boys, Bella the girl pup, a friend of ours, and me. It was nice, if not a little hot. Afterwards we went out to dinner. Which had some nice eye candy for me to look at...lol. Its nice to see a hot chick and be able to discuss it with your husband ;)

We also asked his/ our friend Paul to be my labor buddy if we need it. Slim is moving to a new dept. that has more traveling. I was a little scared there would not be anyone here to get me to a hospital (which I have no idea where they are) if I went into labor. So we asked Paul. He said yes of course, even if Slim is here I plan on being at the hospital...awwww....he's so nice, we just need to find him a nice chick. Anyone available?

The boys did not go home till Monday morning, and even then Donnie did not want to go. He ran up the stairs and hid under a blanket because he wanted to stay here and wait for slim to come home from work.

Oh I almost forgot...

While we were at the park some kids got their kite stuck in this tree that really looks like a very long twig. All skinny and stuff. People were standing around, with no one really helping them, until...
He climbed the tree. Yep. My baby climbed the twig and got their kite. I laughed the whole time because I could just see that twig tilting and breaking with him at the top...one leg spread out as the thing came down yelling AHHHHHHHH....

but it didn't break. And I was so proud of him. He didn't have to do it. He did not even say anything, just saw what was going on and walked over there and started climbing. That's who he is. That's the man I married. Loving, caring, fun, irresistible to danger. LOL....not really that part, but not to many people climb high twigs to get a kite down for kids that they do not even know. Hell, not many people would have even looked twice. But he did. Because that's who he is. Sweet, wonderful, kind, generous.......



Baby, I hope you had a wonderful fathers weekend. Not just a day...you deserve so much more than that. I love you so much, more and more as each day passes. It's all the little things you do that amaze me and make my heart swell. From climbing twigs to taking apart toys to fix them. We love you.

Some updates...

So....

On the interview, the very next day they called with a conditional job offer. Conditional based on my criminal, background and credit check. I really really hope all checks out okay and they still like me after wards.

Amy...

She had her surgery on the 30th of May, and was home three days later walking on a walker. Because of the disease she had when she was small her right leg has always been a little longer than her left, but when they put the new hip in they had to extend it even more so she has to get a special pair of shoes with a lift in that one side. Let me tell you she is not liking it. However it will only be for a year or so because she found out the other hip has to be done with in the year, its worse than they thought it was.

Baby...

He kicks alot. A whole lot.

Kids...

D. spent the night last night and him and Ryan got along great. Checking in on them this morning and they were both sprawled out sound asleep. Wonder how long they stayed up last night.

Maybe...and something VERY serious....

Tomorrow I go for another interview with the Deputy Clerks office of the Superior Court. I had a test there last Tuesday and they did an impromptu interview with two of the main clerks, and told me that they would call me this week to set up another interview.

Actually last week I went for a test and I scored so well they had me retake it because the lady thought she was reading the score wrong. I retook it and that is when she and another lady did two quick interviews and then said we will call you next week to set up another interview.

They called Friday. The clerk who called said that they were giving me first choice at the interview time and that it will be a panel interview in front of all the clerks for all the depts. She also once again reminded me that it was entry level and that I was more qualified than that. I told her that the hours were what I was looking for and it was relative to my degree so entry level is just fine.

So tomorrow I go for a job interview for a job that I want. I have had interviews in the last year for different positions, but this is an interview for something I want, an interview that seems more real, and I am scared crapless.

So any good vibes, suggestions, anything will be great.

~~~~~~~~~~

Life in GA is wonderful. Although I am ready to not be pregnant anymore, things are wonderful. I think he has gotten to see the boys more in the last week than he has been able to since Valentines Day, and I am so happy for him.

I consider all three boys, R., S., and D., ours. And I am so glad that they are able to become part of our family. I hope she continues with being open to it. Ryan sees them as his step brothers, and really I am not going to tell him any different.

I love my family, my life, everything. I seriously do not think I have been this happy in a long long time.

Okay now the very serious part.

On June 5th a vote is going to be held to place an amendment against same sex marriage in the constitution. This is a very important vote, and while you may be thinking it doesn't affect me, it does. It affects everyone, whether directly or indirectly.

You can read up on some headlines here...
Bush to push amendment to ban same-sex marriage

Take just a moment out of your time and please send a postcard to the senators letting them know that we as Americans will not stand for a discriminatory amendment to be placed in the constitution here
Vote NO

This may not be important to you right now, you may be thinking that it does not even affect you, but it does, it is, it will. By allowing this vote to happen without speaking up we are saying that it is okay to place an amendment, the first in 200 years that discriminates against a class of people in our country. It is important to someone you know. Someone you care about. You may not know who it is, or they may just be a friend you have met online, however they need all of us to speak up for them.

Our country is divided. Bush's approval rating is at 29%. Currently it is lower than Nixon's when he was impeached. Do not allow a persons rights, a persons freedoms to scapegoat him out of issues that really need his attention, such as the war, the rising gas prices, the cuts that more and more Americans are feeling, the people still struggling because of last years hurricane season, the many Americans without health-care, the medicare fiasco.

We as one country, as one body need to review our past and see what placing discriminatory language in the constitution does to our country. It does more than divide it. It destroys it.

Our country was almost lost once. We enslaved people, humans, and treated them as only part person. Do we really want to revisit history?

No matter if you agree with same sex marriage or not, the issue is much bigger than that. It is an issue of allowing a free country to become only free for some. And to me that is the biggest disgrace we as a nation could ever face.
