Happy birthday Aunt Natalie! Wait... Didn't we just celebrate a birthday lol???

Today is my sister Natalie's 19th birthday.





My sister is one of those people I can remember knowing as far back as I had conscious memory of. She is only 2 years and 10 months younger than me and we have actually been mistaken for twins before! She is still the one person I tell everything, and the first person I go to for girl talk lol. We've had some wild memories too. From covering the whole sidewalk in chalk that one time as kids, to logging in Canyon Ferry Lake with our cousins, to the various rides we took in Todd, to Boosketball and Nelly (inside joke lmao), to being a fish then a turtle then an elephant, to playing imagination games with Alan and Kalvin. :) She's now in college and is a team leader at Chuck E Cheese (pretty much what I was there pre Alan), we're so proud of you!

Tonight we will be meeting up with my family to go out to dinner at Dos Machos, as is tradition for Natalie's birthday and Cinco de Mayo. We always have the Mariachi band come and sing to her, and then we get a pic of her in a somberro. I'll try to get that photo up here lol, they're always funny. :)

 Hello! Hello! Hello! My wonderful readers, I am back!  And not only am I back, but I am bigger than before!  I have moved twice, once to Hamilton and now to Missoula.  Guys, I used to HATE Missoula.  I left my abusive first husband and divorced him officially in July 2019!  I met Aaron and we have two children, Aurora and Artyom.  I am teaching again and back in school.  We have kitties now!  And I am a self-published author and make money on both Facebook and YouTube now!  Oh my lovelies, we have SO much to catch up on! Where do I begin?????? 2015: Lon assaulted a woman and was arrested. Alan started Kindergarten. Anna started preschool at the YMCA. 2016: I became pregnant with Andrea.

Toddler Talk Thursdays and Adventures of a SAHD

I've been debating on whether or not to share some information with you, my lovely blog readers. On one hand it seems slightly too personal to share online because it deals with a family dispute but on the other hand it is about a major change in my family's life, thus should probably be documented. As you can tell, this debate has held me back from posting these past few days, its given me somewhat of a writer's block. And this I apologize for. I have come to the conclusion to let you know what you "Need to know" as the military says lol. I will not share the family dispute with you, because that is uneccessary and unfair to the other members involved. So I will share with you this: For his personal mental health, Lon has quit the Village Inn. He felt that he could not work there any longer in the mental state he was in and could not wait to find another job first, so he quit last Friday. Our plan for him right now is to take a break from the work world for a

Top Two Tuesday!! April 19, 2011

Image
Alan is doing tons better this morning, and only had one diarrhea blow out last night. He has two and a half hours left of his liquid diet, and he's no longer contagious after noon today. Unfortunately, that means that he will not be able to go to art class today. :\ But I'm just going to prepare him some "homework" so that he still gets his art projects for that week done. And I'm just thankful last night went billions of times better than Sunday night and that he's doing so much better today. He's starting to act like himself again, which makes me smile. :) Hopefully, he'll be able to go back to daycare by tomorrow. :) And now, for Top Two Tuesday!! Top Two Things I Collect!! #1 Elephant figurines (This photo thanks to http://www.dinodirect.com) I am obsessed, I mean obsessed with elephants lol, and I have been most of my life.
