Amber Can Swim!!!!

This weekend Amber finally put it all together and started really truly swimming!!!! I am so proud of her!!!

Peer pressure can be good in some cases. All her friends that we swim with can all go into the deep end. She got tired of being left in the shallow end. So her friend Raychel encouraged her along with another friend of ours.

There is no stopping her now.

I think Bailey might swim this summer too. She is getting the hang of kicking and doggy paddling in her life vest. She and Noah both want to go into the deep end.

Kenzie---born fish. She has already tried to put her head in the water.

Hobbies

There are so many different things I like to do but just never seem to be able to find time for anymore. I just thought about listing them out for myself.

• Scrapbooking-I was introduced to this by some friends about 8 years ago. I have not been able to do it for the past 2 years. I really do miss it.
• Reading-I love to read. We actually listen to books on tape, cd etc at work. I have been introduced to so many new and different authors.
• Internet-I used to be a MySpace junkie, now it is Facebook when I can find the time.
• Blogging-I am trying to get back into the grove of it. Have not as much of it be a vent but to be about things that matter to me. Maybe life events, current events in the news etc.
• Music-I love to sing and I LOVE to do Karoke. Just recently I went with 2 friends to a gay bar to do Karoke. I came in 2nd place!!!!

Knowing and Doing

Knowing that it is over and doing something to resolve the fact that it is over are two extremely hard steps to take.

I believe in love and I believe in vows. But when the other person strays from the vows it is very hard to understand why and be forgiving. Some things are forgivable some things just are not.

And when you know its over, its over. He needs to grow up. At 32 you should be able to provide for your family, have goals, and stop acting like a teenager. Especially when you have 3 little ones and a wife that is very near the edge.

So, my Mom was right all along. She never wanted us to get married. This is why she got so upset each time we annouced a pregnancy, because her Mommy flags were all going nuts.

I am very thankful that I have good friends that love me and that are very supportive of me.

I just want to be in a happy place. The girls and I have to move out. I have to be able to pay everything since he is not working.

I need to win part of the lottery or something.

I know that I am a strong woman and that God will guide me through. I just hate that I am even going to have to do this and take these steps. But ultimately I have to protect myself and my children right?
