I am trying to make the changes to my blog....and I'm really sick so that just leads to a grumpy woman with a jacked up
blog.

Off my chest
Ok here goes...I don't think that my older siblings read this blog but I really wish they did if only for this post...
Why will you not give our dad a chance??? He loves you and your spouses and your children but he hasn't been able to get to known them. I understand that there are two sides to every story and I also know that dad is not perfect but doesn't he deserve a chance to explain or answer your questions or even a free pass...what if it was your mother's fault, what if dad is really a good guy and you have wasted decades not knowing that, what if your children will hate you one day for keeping them from him, what if this is all water under the bridge and we could all have a fresh start.
He hurts because he doesn't see you guys. You are his children. His first children. Is it because you think he isn't really your dad?? They have DNA tests for that. Is it because of my mom...get over it.
Dad doesn't know that i'm writing this and he would probably be upset if he found out.
I wish I could tell you how happy he was to see y'all the other day and to finally meet his grandchildren.
Oh and sis, people might not mistake us for each other if you graced us with your presence more often than once a decade or so.
Ok that's my rant and I have wanted to call them and tell them this personally but haven't felt like I should.
You are my brother and sister and I love you, so does our father. Please try to put the past behind you and move on.

Kickin' it Redneck style
This isn't the serios post that I was talking about but there isn't anything on tv and I'm not ready for bed yet so here are some things about my quirky husband that need some air time....(my husband is VERY quirky, hese are just the mow recent)
1. I recently put the single mattress from the boys' bunk bed on the floor of the living room for the boys to use during a family movie night....well, our boys usually end up in our bed during the wee hours of the morning and Brian ends up on the couch. There are lots of reasons for that...it's quite warm with 4 bodies in a King size bed and John Avery likes to dig his toes under your body, which is not conducive to some good sleepy time...well since its summer we have not been as stern about bed time and sleeping in their own bed so Brian has taken to sleeping on the single mattress in the floor of the living room. You might be a redneck, if your husband sleeps on a mattress in the living room.
2. Brian LOVES the fact that we live in a double wide trailer (insert heavy sarcasm). It has to do with the fact that he grew up in one and never wanted to live in one again....ahhh, karma. anyway so Brian has the nose of a bloodhound and complains that he can smell the roof shingles heating up in the summer so to combat that and also to cool the house during the hot summer months Brian has come up with a plan...put a sprinkler on the roof. And we even have a tire on the metal roof to the boys' treehouse.
We are definitely trendsetters, even for the redneck world :)

Off Track
I'm sorry to have not posted in a while but I don't think that there Ais anything interesting going on around here and I am TOTALLY addicted to a blog called The Pioneer Woman..check her out at www.thepioneerwoman.com. She rocks and has a cooking page and photography page. Her love story is a good read too!!! I would love for my blog to be like hers..but it can't.
There is a post that I have been thinking about for a while and I hope to have it ready soon. Some folks may no find it interesting but it's something that i need to get off my chest. So with that I will say goodbye and hopefully have that post up soon. Thanks for hanging in there my loyal 3 readers.
