its the first snow of the season for us... started coming down roughly around 8pm and now we have a nice thin layer on the ground.. im hoping it will stick a bit so that tomorrow Owen can get a feel for it. although i wont be able to keep him out long, unfortunately my little man now has my cold and has the worst boogie nose ever ~
the bigger boys are loving the new snow fall though, little ron running around the back yard like a goober and running out onto the back porch just to have a little fun in the snow.. begging the wildabeast to help fix his bike chain tomorrow so he can go for a bike ride..
wyatt even had to run outside as soon as he heard it was snowing, you would almost think the kids had never seen snow before but we do get a light dusting maybe once a year if we are lucky.. and the kids have a ball.
im sure tonights dreams will be filled with snow ball fights and snow angels dancing in their heads.. i just hope that owen is able to sleep.. poor guy has been having a rough time the last few nights, leaving ron and i almost shift sleeping these days.
hopefully our taxes will be in soon, im keeping as close an eye on *our van* as i can with my phone on the blink now.. and hoping it stays put until we have cash in hand.. here is to wishful thinking!
on the ttc side of things.. the hag was due to show today but is still a no show ~ im not getting my hopes up though with a very positive opk on cd18, i could have just O'd later than normal throwing my cycle off a few days.. sometimes its hard not to hope and dream and wish.. but reality sets in that ttc for us isnt easy.. its an emotional roller coaster thats for sure!
i have only one hpt left in the house and refuse to waste it on a wish.. funny avoiding poas isnt hard right now.. so until i either see the hag or get the urge it will stay safely tucked away unused..
the dream of seeing 2 pretty pink lines seems just that, a dream.. but reality is always there to smack you in the face and well .. i dunno.. im just to the point now where i dont want to see a bfn so im dealing with it.
anyways i suppose thats it for now..
if im not able to blog again before valentines day... i hope you all have the bestest one ever ~
and to my *nephew* joey, have the bestest birthday hun.. cant believe you are going to be a year older.. slow down on growing already!

Spent much of this last week not feeling well.. which sucks!
Rons been awesome though, letting me sleep during the day as he chased after Owen as well as even doing the wash for me.. Of course I still won't let him fold.. What can I say he just can't fold right *haha*
Last night I spent about 4 hours sitting at the computer trying to get the online help for turbo tax to understand what the rejection is for my e-filed state taxes..
Its simple really the number money wise on line 37 of form D-400TC is correct but the number of qualifing children should read 3 not the 2 that was shoved in the slot..
Needless to say 4 hours later and 2 agents later I decided that we would just snail mail the danged thing.. Like ron said *the amount of time we have wasted trying to resolve this minor issue we could have walked our state return to Raleigh*
So once Ron wakes up from his nap I will finish filling out the form and get it sent in first thing Monday morning.
On the bright side, were hoping to get our federal return back in the next few weeks.. so we have been looking around online for a conversion van in our price range.. So far we have one were very interested it. So now we just have to hope its all good when we look at it and that its still there when we have cash in hand. Keep your fingers crossed for us *wink*
In other news we got back in contact with clydes breeders.. They were happy to hear how he is doing and to see some pics of him now. Hard to believe its been nearly a year since we made the trip to go get him. I know they were concerned at the kind of home he would go to .. He was in their opinion the most aggressive pup they had in that litter.. He on the other hand is the most laid back lazy pup you will ever meet. Our only regret is not buying his brother too.. We would like to get him a buddy.. But I will admit I'm a. It torn if we should get another bullmastiff, a bigger old english mastiff or a neopolitin (spelling) mastiff .. Decisions decisions .. At least we have time to decide. Huh?
Well I think I will go see if I have all I need to make some amish funnel cakes.. Kids will love the treat if I do..

wow again some time has passed since i did my blog updates..
i suppose its because sometimes i feel i have alot to say and other times i dont..
today was report card day for my bigger guys both are doing really well in school and i have much to be proud of. wyatt has graduated from speech therapy now (which is totally awesome) and is only being watch in class as well as home and being corrected as needed with his speech. we have all come along way in the past few years that he has been getting the much needed help and today his speech is nothing what it was when he was in kindergarten.. i am very very proud of him and all of his hard work!
he is still in special education but making strides and where they want him to be at.. way to go sweetie your doing good!
little ron has passed all of the first half of the school year classes but i already knew that. i havent seen him so excited over his grades in a long time always taking a few minutes to check online to see if his finals had been posted yet .. good job babe.. so proud of you!
owen is spending the night at mothers tonight.. first time in a long long time since she was gone for over a month and home for about a week now.. gonna be weird not getting our 3am wake up call for our snuggle man to come into our bed.. but he was having tons of fun at her house and so i decided to let him stay.. plus this means daddy wont be kicked out of bed early.. believe it or not but that little man sure does like his space when he sleeps!
i was looking through old photos tonight trying to pick out what i want printed and what i dont and came across some baby pics of my guy.. i cant believe how much he has grown in just a year.. someone make him slow down just a bit..
even wyatt and little ron.. geesh were has all the time gone?
well i just wanted to update a bit ..
ooh one more thing.. apparently my sister is pissed at mom (nothing new and a good reason on why i dont speak to her) anyways.. apparently according to the mind of hers, mother is responsible for her husband throwing a temper fit and having to drive their son to his specialist appointment because mother wouldnt rush home to take him (uh dude whose kid is he?) and apparently mother threw some awesome power, made their heat go out for 4 days (until the rental agency could get out to fix it) and its all moms fault..
now please explain to me.. if she is so *powerful* than why wont she give me next weeks damn lotto numbers..
some mother she is!!

Its crunch time for us on mothers house.. She will be leaving Colorado tomorrow morning at some ungodly hour and should be pulling into her driveway on wed. So yeah.. Crunch time.
Most everything is done and now were on the little things.. Unless of course you count a partly done bathroom floor with a toilet still sitting in th bathtub a big thing *lol* no worries though because it will be done in the next few days..
I'm just hoping we can get her heater working again because I don't want to be the one to say *welcome home.. Btw your heater isn't working*
But my fil who is working out of town this week came home tonight since he has off both Sunday and Monday.. I know he had things that he wanted to get done but he knows that right now we really need his help so he came back for a few nights.
In other news.. no bfp for me yet .. The hag showed at what would have been 14dpo (well my self given O) so now we wait her out and than bd like bunnies and hope for the best.. Sucks sucks sucks though.
I'm so tired of restarts its not funny.. Why is it some ladies walk by their man and get a bfp.. Yet others seem to be stuck constantly in the endless battle of TTC..

Yeah I know its been a while..
We've been busting butt on mothers house.. To a degree even thousands of miles away she has managed to get on my nerves. At least if I'm done hearing her babble I have the power to hang up *haha*..
TTC wise things are going okay I suppose.. I haven't tempted this month but I used my average O date as the O so stupid me .. At possible 11dpo decided to poas.. Yeah a bfn.. So I'm not hopeful and only expecting the hag any day now which bites.. I know 11dpo can be to early to poas but I just had the urge so I did ..
I wasn't upset when I saw it although I'm not sure why.. Maybe because although hopeful its what I expected to see? So now I'm just waiting it out. The hag should be here by Friday if you go by my given O or tomorrow by my cycle day..
little Ron is now taking first simester finals so its a short school week for him. His days run from 9am until noon..
once finals are done he will start all new classes for the second half of the school year.
Wyatt is doing good.. Wrote awesome in his homework tonight. I am very proud of him. Took his time making each letter and they came out perfect!
Owen is looking like he needs a hair cut.. Soon I will have to break down and get him his first.. After I snitch a curl of course.. Its funny I don't normally realize how long its getting and than I will just see it.
Ron.. My dear sweet hubby has been busting butt big time on mothers house.. I know he must be sick of seeing it by now. We've had a few days Owen and I couldn't go down without being in the way which has been horrible.. I hate feeling like I'm no help at all.
Well seems as if the natives are getting wrestless.. So I suppose I better end this..

Got to brag on my sweet hubby.. First he let me slowly get out of bed yesterday.. We both couldn't sleep at all Sunday night. So we kinda gave in around 4am and just sat up talking.. Got the bigger guys off to their first day back to school and than laid back down. I couldn't even tell you what time Owen woke up because Ron spent a good part of the morning chasing him around while letting me sleep.
This morning Owen was up before the buses ran and. Again Ron was up with him.. I was up getting the bigger guys off but trying to avoid Owen as it was so cold out this morning I really didn't want him standing outside with Wyatt and I.
Needless to say that was kinda short lived because Owen is a total mama snuggle butt so, he did end up with us outside for a bit but not long and was warmed up all snug in a blanket with me..
Needless to say when we got inside Owen and I just sat snugged up together and apparently fell asleep on the couch.. So Ron let us sleep and got ready to run to the bank and store..
Now I will admit not to be the happiest camper when I woke up because after all I have a zillion things going threw my head that need to be done.. But my sweet hubby didn't let it get him down..
He came home and brought me my favorite coffee and took Owen so I could make a cup.. Which is when I noticed the beautiful red roses...
gotta love my man..
Always finding ways to brighten my days.. Always giving me my hugs and kisses.. Always making me laugh and smile..
I love you baby and thank you.. For simply being you!

Today would have been dads 58th birthday.. sometimes its hard to believe.. Not that he's gone.. But that he's been gone nearly 9 years now. Happy birthday dad..
been working on getting things set back up at mothers house nearly all day yesterday and a short while today (kids were to restless to stay long).. Ron and I will head back down tomorrow.
I'm finding it easier to have shoved everything off the carpeted floors vs putting it all back in a *home*.. There is just so much stuff and I'm not gonna toss anything without mother here to say yes or no.. But seriously its taking everything to refrain from doing so..
There is still so much of my mor-mor in the house its not funny and where I realize its hard to let go.. its just impossible to keep everything.. From her key chains to nicknacks to her card collection.. I realize some things are a keep but others its time to let go..
And mother is no help.. Here we are busting our asses to get floors laid and make the house look good .. To get all the junk mobile homes removed and all I hear is *dont forget this.. Find that..* and when I tell her of pictures left in a leaking mobile home for the past 8 years that are ruined.. I get *well they shouldn't be* yeah mom its my dream to have to trash little rons photo from when he was 2 years old that I gave you.. You got me.
These things.. So *important* to her yet for 8 years left deserted in a trailer that was no longer fit to be lived in... Just left to rot.
I think my favorite arguement between her and I so far was over a keychain.. A wooden bat made by her ex-Boyfriend back in the late 80's early 90's.. One I happened to find.. Shoved in this old trailer she called home among trash.. And I left where it was.. Only to be told I better get it for her .. She wants to keep it..
Why? She has hundreds of key chains she hasn't seen or used in years.. This one alone in well over 8 years.. But its so important to her she left it to rot. Makes sence to me.. How about you?
ah the annoying side of things... Only 18 days left and she will be headed home.
In other news.. My bigger guys are heading back to school tommorrow .. Christmas break has been good for them and I've enjoyed having the home during the days with us.. But school is a must so off they will go at some ugly hour in the morning that none of us have seen since their last day of school before Christmas break.
I just hope bedtime goes smoothly for us and were all bright eyed in the morning.. Okay I will secretly settle for moving around the house like half awake zombies.
TTC wise I think its safe to say were in another 2ww .. At least we will be for sure tomorrow due to my CD. I haven't been doing any monitoring so I couldn't tell you how far into it I am.. But we've done what we could and now its no longer in our hands.. Just got to wait it out and see if were stuck with another restart or not.
