This is my first ever blog God help you all...I'm unleshed to express my feelings and opions about EVERYTHING!! If I offend you with anything I may say then: stop reading!! I warn you now that my spelling will never be right and puncuation will be optional. A little about me....I'm a married - to Chad- 23 yr old mother of 17 month old twins, Levi and Carter. They're the cutest boys in the world not that I'm bias or anything. I'm a stay at home mom which brings me to the first thing I think is wrong with the world.....my husband makes a very modest salery and money is really tight... I cannot work to help out because daycare for the two of them was more than I was making!! And I really like being at home raising them. Therefore we live in a small 2 bedroom duplex which everone says is going to be too small to raise a family but we're doing fine. It's filled with love and thats all that counts!! I think stay at home moms should get a salery from the government my gosh they do the work of about four jobs!!

My boys are my little mircales! They we're born six weeks early and they're lungs were immature they rushed them to the nicu....by the time they got there they had to be resusatated and put on ventilators two weeks later they came home...at the time you do what you have to do...now 17 mo later looking back it makes me cry cause I relize how close we came to having a different outcome. We joke now that we'll be paying for them until they're 18...all the med bills and all ....but its the best debt anyone could have. I say we'll get them pais for just in time to let go and send them into the world.

Thats a good little start for now. I'll fill ya in on more of what I think tomorrow and really let ya all know how I feel about it all!!

So last night I'm hanging with my best friend Steph...Femmie...were talking about being cute and she said, " cute as a bug's ear" which is a joke with us because I think that's the stupided saying! First of all do bugs even have ears? And who has seen then...i highly doubt that they're very cute ya know cause bugs are so often cute! The next is "cute as a Button" what the hell? When was the last time you said.."thats the cutest buttons on your shirt" to someone I know I say that that all the time! lol.....Usually button just piss me off cause they won't go through their home the button hole!! Which brings me to the next thing that irrates me tiny buttons on baby clothes I think this one explians it's self!

So last night I hung out with femmie which I love doing and do about every night..Chad works alot of overtime...she my life saver!! She needs a boost of confidence cause she's talking to this guy and is afraid he's not going to like the way she looks...she's so insecure...which is stupid cause she is so cute!! As someone said "her smile couls melt a room".......love yourself Femmie!!!

Christmas is a comming and I have not decorated...at all......People keep reminding me I have to get going, cause you know I have a lot of opertunity with the twins and all!! Wiat! Let me hurry up and get to that!! People...... To all those mom and Dads over seas fighting for a war that never should of been know that I'm praying for your safe return and for you;re family during this holiday season...thank you for your service.....Bring them Home Bush!!!!!!!!!

To this I say it was probably Good in theory..but..........................

Ok so today Femmie and I went erand running and let me tell ya it was fun all around......first we went to the ink cartage refille store. I went in and Fem stayed in the car with the boys.....so i'm in there and I'm waiting on my ink and this guy comes in with a problem with he's refill he had done yesterday. And he's standing there and starts to talk with me..only he has no concept of personal space and is like standing 2inches from me!! Hello close talker could you please abid by the American culture and step back a little? I know you know about it your AMERICAN!!! It was weirding me out cause he was standing there like he was my husband and the people behind the counter I think thought so to....they should teach a class in school about personal space. It should be a required course..."personal distance when speaking 101". " Back the Fuck up!!!!!!

Then there was Walmart which is always an experience...the parking lot is the worst noone watches were they are going and you can only get out in one spot so you feel like you're trapped at walmart..doomed to the life of the walls of the dageon known as Walfart! Fortuntly we got out safely excaped the crazies unschated.

Then we came home and everyone took a nap its wore us out!! And that was my fab day out in the world!! Thank God I made it back unscathed at least physically!! Later.............................................................

Saturday is my news catch up day..so i'm making breakfast watching MSNBC catching up on whats all going on and I heard the most destrubing thing. Ten Marines were killed in Iraq on Friday..to there families my thoughts and prayers are with you....and they had a whitehouse spokes man having a press conference about the incident...All he had to say about the marines losing there life was "it was a tough day for them"....WHAT?????!!! That's it?? Let me clear something up for you sir...a tough day is running out of gas and having to walk five miles in the freezing cold.....NOT losing your LIFE!! This was most disrubing to me that that was all the whitehouse had to say about it!!! The next disturbing thing was them talking about all the billions of dollars we're giving Iraq's new militry for guns and tanks and things (which to me is not the smartest thing but whatever) when the very next story was how the Goverment is saying how they don't know if they can fix the levys in New Orleans to protect in case of another Hurrican because it would cost millions! HELLO?!! Help protect your so called Homeland first!!!! It was all just so ironic............

On a lighter note I got a wonderful Cd yesterday and recommend you check it out: Cyndi Lauper..The Body Acoustic. Its great. Thats it for now...Later!!

The wonder of it all.....the special language only they understand the way they always do things together...even poop! It must be a very special bond that only twins can understand. They even have their own names for each other in their little language...i need to take a course in speaking twin so I can understand them!! They get the SAME teeth at the same time.....their hair is the same color and the same texture.....their eyes change from blue to green and the weird part they change at the same time!! Every day these little guys make me feel amazed and in awe of them. Mainly becuse their fraternal. The bond they have is so touching and they'll have it for life a little buddy to always be there to get them through the tough times. How special. And yet their personalites are different but complament each others!! God had it all planned that way. To the boys the light of my life...keep marching..............................

So Chad is recovering from having he's appendix out and I'm recovering from having one of the scariest moments of my life. The hardest part is that he still can't pick up the boys and of course that leaves everything to me. It's been interesting comming up with new way to carry two toddlers weighing in at 22 pounds! Expecially when they both want mommy.....gets a little hairy! lol...

The other hard thing we're facing is NO SICK PAY!! Being the end of the year he has no vacation left and he's company doesn't have sick pay!! He's the sole provider of our family we don't know what we are going to do. How does a billion dollar a year company not offer sick pay to their empolyees? It should be mandiated that they have to offer so many or something. This is where being a stay at home mom can really screw ya!! It's not like I'm bringing in a little money to send to bills or for ecientials.....we have nothing coming in! He can't return until the doctor clears him....he goes in to see him on Thursday....so we lose a weeks pay and overtime!! To us thats huge. I fear we are one of the many Americans that are literally a pay check away from the street! It's really stressfull around here right now....but we're staying together and hoping for the best!!

For all those who kids are allergic to milk please know that there is milk in hotdogs....we did not know that and it was a very fussy and long night last night! lol............ They are doing better today I just hope I get sleep tonight...mommy needs sleep!! With Chad healing it's like I now have three babies to take care of! You all know how men are when their sick!! Well thats all for now I'll keep ya all updated!! Later..............................................................................

Chad got a clean bill of health today from the doctor! He's go to go to start work on monday. We are so happy around here. Chad and I have been married for four years today!! Seems like yeasterday in some ways and like a lifetime in others!!

The boys are completly off their bottles...they were still taking a bottle in the morning....and onto sippy cups which to me are WAY over priced!! You get two in a pack which for us is only one per kid and its 8.00!!!! You can buy a whole set of 16 glasses at Walmart for 10.00!!!! I'm just saying!!

Anyway just wanted to give a quick update. More to come...later.................
