Ok so things still the same but we are doing ok. Shawn is still looking for a job but I am not feeling so insane anymore. I feel positive. He will find a job and everything will be ok. Anyway Keelin's been swimming this summer and this week starts Vacation Bible School. Today we went to the High Museum to see Monet's Waterlilies with my dad for fathers day. I love the High I could stay all day I think. Keelin was very impressed. Last week I took Keelin to White water with Brenna's sister in law and her little girl. It was just the 4 of us and we had a blast. It was Keelin's first water park. She talked non stop about it for 2 days. The week before that we stayed out at Brenna's for 4 days. The kids had soooooo much fun it was hard to leave. Kinsey and Bowie are Frick and Frack (SP?) anyway, Kids been playing in the baby pool and getting eaten by mosquitoes and catching fire flies so I would say summer is off to a big start! I wish i could blog more but my computer finally bit the dust so I can't get on it often. I will try to blog more. I miss everyone!

MAYYYYYY

I figured I would post of few pictures from Easter, I never did because I didn't take any so I had to get them from my mothers camera. Things are still the same I think I might be going insane. This is the craziest thing. We have applied for a few hundred jobs and I don't know what to do. I am looking for a waitress job now cause we cant both be at home, it would have to temp for me cause I start school in August and there is NO WAY I can do both. It will be hard enough being a mom and having school let alone adding a job in the mix. So I am done with my classes everything passed and all so that is good. Keelins out of school this week and I am happy about not having to take her for awhile. Got her signed up for swimming for the whole summer so she is very excited. Kinsey is OK both girls have colds so of course Kinsey is taking it alot worse than Keelin, I think I slept for about 1 1/2 hours last night. Seriously. The night before was the same except I got to go back to bed yesterday morning.

kinda bothered

I just wanted to throw this out there. I am kinda bothered by the Obama not doing the whole prayer day thing. I like prayer day.

STILL THE SAME

Well things are still the same. Shawn is still looking for a job and it is the most frustrating thing ever. He has never had this problem in his life. It seems that all the jobs are too far away. Ugh it is so miserable. He has sent his resume to over 100 places. Today he is just going door to door to businesses. We don't know what else to do. So annoying. No one is hiring within a 100 mile radius. If we want to move to south Georgia(which no way would EVER happen) then we would be set or just move out of this state all together. But I got into the nursing program and that is so hard. Anyway poor Shawn he is so frustrated.
Kinsey is doing well. Her levels are still not where we want them but she is looking better. The Dr said we all need to remember how sick she was and how close we came. So in my book she is awesome.
Keelin is doing good. She just finished her soccer season and she had a great season. They had a family cook out at the school after their last game and she got a trophy which she was really excited about. She is out of school soon and keeps me informed of the countdown every morning. She said she just doesn't wasn't to go to 2nd grade!
I had one final in biology last week and my last one on Monday so i need to cram cram cram. I got an A in the class for the 1st bio class. I have been kinda stressed lately(to say the least) and Brenna was going to see her best friend who was on a vacation break from the middle east. He has a beach house in Virginia Beach and she asked me to ride along with her and my best friend who lives a few hours from their met us as well. We had sooooooooooo much fun it was only a day and a half visit but so much fun. We didn't want to leave. Their place at the beach is 5 star and they spoiled us rotten. It was so relaxing. Sad we had so little time but I am happy I get to see Shannon at all!
So everythings still the same----Just hangin in!

things are getting better!

Ok so things are getting better. We recently went to Kansas and had an awesome time visiting relatives. I think I have THE BEST FAMILY EVER!!!!!! My grandmother is awesome, we had the best visit ever. I was so comfortable at her house I never wanted to leave. I was more relaxed than I have been in a long time. Her cooking was great and how awesome to not have to worry about dinner??? The best! The baby actually went to bed with no problem every night! and slept all night. I got to read my book and watch tv. My aunt and uncle were great also. I love being with them and all my cousins. They are very special, generous and giving people. Shawn said something that is pretty awesome and that makes me very proud, he said he never knew families that just step up and help you with everything they have , and will do anything they can. He loved my family and finally got to find out why i love Kansas and I never want to leave when I go and why I always have a little hope that I will one day live there. I always say I can breathe better there, Shawn actually said the same thing the 2nd day we were there. We did actually come home all sick but that's ok it is that time of year. I just have to say I can't believe it that as soon as I leave they get a blizzard!!!!!! I am the one who loves winter the most and never gets to see it and then bam there it is and I have already gone home!
The other thing that is making things look a little better is that I found out this week I was accepted in the nursing program at North Georgia State College and University. I am very excited and nervous. I can barely believe it, I almost didn't think it would happen. So things are getting better!!!!!! Also Shawn got his CDL which is something he has wanted for a long time. He worked so hard for that. I helped him study and that thing scared me, all the things you have to know is overwhelming. There is no way I could pass that thing! So I am very proud of him!!!!

crap

so friday we got the awful news, shawn was permanently laid off. sucks sucks sucks. i guess i shouldnt be suprised but you know it still hurts. what to do what to do i dunno. its kinda exhausting just thinking about it. well we will have to figure it out. its frustrating when you always try to do the right thing and you still get screwed(pardon my french) Shawn is awesome when it comes to work. he will work his ass of. he has NEVER been late and NEVER missed a day since he started 4 years ago. Every review he has had has been perfect. what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ughgfrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ny wAY(i am typing one handed have kinsey in my lap so everything will be misspelled or not capitalized right)
so today i took keelin and bella putt putting it was fun. then tonight shawn and i had been promising for months that for vday we would take keelin and kins to build a bear. so now i am really tired but the kids have their bears n they r happy.

my doggies

Ok so this past saturday I told Shawn that we were going to check the pound. I had already sent them a lost dog form and called the animal control and reported them missing but it takes like 4 days or so for them to get back to you. So we headed down there Shawn was convinced they would not be there. This place is in a very icky part of town its about 30 minutes away and its on the same road as the jail, dump, health department etc..... so anyway we go in and we start down the first row we had almost gotten down to the end and at the last cage I look in and there is Jessie. I was in total shock. I couldn't believe it. It was like she was looking at me saying Its me Its me!!!!!! I started screaming and running down the aisle out to the front screaming its my dog you have my dog! they told me what to do so I went back in and I thought that Jessie was alone since I never saw thora. But when I went back in Shawn and Keelin had found thora on the next aisle. there were two girls who work there who were like these are your dogs? and we were so excited and I am like yes yes yes and they were saying how Happy they were that we had found them that they are so sweet and that Jessie is the best dog and they wanted her. They told me that they were picked up less than a block from my house at 2am early Friday morning. i saw those dogs at midnight! and somehow they got out and picked up in 2 hours?????? I dunno weird. I really cant say enough about how awesome the girls at the pound were they were the best I want to do something nice for them they were so awesome. They spent time with them in their cages even. The upside of all this is their shots needed to be updated and at the pound they got their shots and they were both micro chipped . they only charged me for one dog which was $55! What a blessing in disguise. I was stressed about the money to pay for new shots but now its all done! Anyway they are here safe and sound-very traumatized but happy.
