My twins are THREE

Three years ago today I was waiting to have my C-section to bring my girls into this world.

It was a hot day much like this 2014 Californian summer has been. A friend of ours, Becca, had been helping us out since I was on bed rest. She had just brought up dinner, which was delicious. I was eating and enjoy the kicks from my girls from the inside. When around 5:30pm I felt what I can only describe as a rubber band snapping but on the inside. It wasn't painful at all but definitely could feel that something happened. So I moved slightly and that's when all the water came out. MY WATER HAD BROKE :) Scary since I had never experienced it. Then it was the mad calling of Becca to come upstairs with the phone so I can call Ron at work. And then while on the phone I started having some serious contractions. Ron rushed home took me to the hospital while Becca stayed at our house with Sebastian and my mother in law. They were in the middle of prepping me when the nurse came in and said that we would have to wait as there was an emergency C-section happening. No worries on this mama's end. We got to the hospital around 6pm the girls finally came out via C-Section, Teagan at 11:10pm and Amelia at 11:11pm.

Three years have come and gone since these two little bundle of joys entered into our world. They are still just as amazing today as they were when they were born. I couldn't be prouder of the young girls they are becoming and the women that they will one day be.

Happy Birthday Girls. Mommy loves you!~!!!

Diary??

-->So, I know that I wrote about starting to blog on a consistent basis but things don’t always go the way I want them to, (sigh). So my family and I have been extremely busy and I have thought up a few things I would like to talk about how ever I really haven’t had the time or energy or drive to write about any of them. So I thought that I would write about my life and what has been going on and what has been keeping me busy these last couple of months.

 

As most of you know I am a wife and mother. I have four beautiful children and 2 step children as well. I work full time in an office. I do a ton of computer work along with answer phones and helping customers if they come into our facility. My husband is currently disabled and is a stay at home dad. Although I am a bit jealous that he gets to stay home and I have to work, I rather enjoy the people I work with and I am glad to have the opportunity to be the provider for my house hold.

Lately things have been a tad hectic/stressful/annoying. So the hectic things are obviously just every day things like going to work and then coming home to 4 kids all of which are 5 and under. I have Sebastian who is 5 and my twin girls Teagan and Amelia who are 3 and then my youngest Ezra who is 1. And ALL of them want their mom when I get home. It is extremely precious but also hectic. When someone gets home from work they don’t mind receiving love, hugs, and kisses. But I don’t want to be bulldozed by my kids. Which is what they do. They always want to be on top of me and its not just one at a time. When once sees that their brother or sister is sitting on my lap then the other has to as well.

Now the stressful part of my life lately has been financial. I try to be the best when it comes to our money for our household. But lately life has thrown us a few curve balls and we have had to live pay check to pay check. Which I love!!! (insert eye roll here). I not only pay attention to my own finances but make sure a few others are good as well which is just as stressful.

Now ,the annoying part. I mentioned that I have two step children. Well this would be from my husbands previous marriage. He was married for 12 years to his ex and they had 2 children. Neither one will be mentioned by name nor will his ex be named in this blog (or series of blogs). But because she is a tad (insert another eye roll) greedy she keeps going after my husband for more and more child support even though he doesn’t currently have an income due to him being disabled (how ever he has applied for disability). To top this off she doesn’t let him see the kids very much. Every time he asks she says they are busy but wont actually say what they are busy doing. Now I have wanted to go after more custody of the kids for awhile now by my husband doesn’t want the kids to be put through that, seeing as his ex can be extremely manipulative.

So this is what has been going on with my life as of late. I actually had a delightful thought while typing out this particular blog. I was thinking of just doing my blog sort of like a diary of sorts. Time will only tell though because well there are so many things I have wanted to do with this blog but just haven’t. I either let life get in the way or I let my own fears get in the way. Grrrrr. What to do what to do. Well for now im going to say, until next time friend. May god bless you and yours!

 

Trying to be a youtuber or blogger.

Definitely one of the great things about being a mother to four is all the great footage I can get, (when I remember to capture it) and all the stories I can share, (when I am not too tired to type the details out).

I am simply a mother of four, a wife to one, and a Christian to the one true god. I work full time in an office setting and then come home and work for an additional few hours trying to help the hubby with the kids and then household chores. So then by the time they are all done I  have just enough energy to come online and watch videos or read blogs.

 How ever for a LONG time I have wanted to make my own videos and write my own blogs. By the time I have the thought it has gone just as fast as it has come. But today I had the greatest thought, and by today I mean right now. Why not jot down some notes during the week and have a scheduled day? Where I can simply pick one or two things to talk about, may be even use my blog or youtube channel as a sort of therapy or stress reliever even.

So right now, this day and in this hour/minute. I will state that I will TRY my hardest to post something at least once a week. Either Saturday or Sunday of each week. There will be no specific theme to my blog just what ever I fancy and more than likely what ever is going on in my life.

I hope you stick with my blog, I know I have flaked in the past, and stick with me on this journey we all call life.


Should you need prayer. Please leave a comment below and my family and I would be more than happy to pray for you.
