Day Eleven.

Do you see any difference in Michael?  If you don't, its the HAIR!!!  I only wanted a little of it cut off, more like just a trim, but Crystal SHAVED IT!  I cried...  I miss his hair already!

Day Ten.

Well, yesterday my mom was on the computer all day again, so I didn't get a chance to put my picture up.  This is me, watching over my yard sale.  It wasn't a very good day for a yard sale, because all morning it looked like it was going to rain, but it didn't.  My sister sold a couple of her carebears, but I didn't sell anything.  I did get $5 though.  A couple came looking for the husband some shirts (which of course I didn't have), but they found my sister later in the day and told her to "give your mom this money", which of course was supposed to be me (everyone that doesn't know my family thinks I'm the mom because I have been very involved in my siblings' lives (including school).

Day Nine.

I finally bought my homecoming ticket!  I'm so excited!!!  This year's theme is Deep Blue Sea, if you can't tell what the ticket says.  This is my senior year, so I want to make this a good night out for me.  I have my dress and my ticket, now to get some shoes before September 18!

Day Eight.

Today I had a WIC appointment.  I got home around 6, instead of 4.  As soon as I get home, I see my sister in the yard crying, so I ask her what happened.  Our cousins decided to beat her up today.  She had a black eye and marks on her arms and back.  I was so frustrated!

Day Seven.

This is me and Casey on the bus.  We were goofing around, and I finally got her to take a picture with me, after I almost made her have a heart attack from laughing so much (if thats possible!)  I just noticed how much she looks like her momma!

Day Six.

I have had a long day today.  Mikey's grandma (Kevin's mom) was supposed to be watching him today so Kevin could get his stuff from his sister's house.  Long story short, he fell on the concrete face first!  I was so mad when i saw it!  Anyways, this is a picture of Mikey eating chili pie for the fist time.  I think he liked it!

Day Five.

We are getting ready for the Dow Annual Yard Sale this week!  I'm really excited to get rid of all the clothes I don't want and that Michael has outgrown.  Today, I had Kevin, my sister Emily, and brother Gary do some yard work to get ready for the yard sales Friday and Saturday, while Michael and I were in the front yard playing with his new tractor.  After I got him down for a nap, I finally got to get the living room carpet steam cleaned.  I was very excited to get that done, its been a while since I've had time to do that!

Day Four.

We went to Kevin's mom's house for Labor Day today.  Wayne and Allen barbecued and I helped with all 9 kids!  I had to chase down a 14 month old (Alex), a 15 month old (Mikey) and a 23 month old (Kammy) while holding a 7 month old (Liza) just to wash them off after eating icecream!  Okay, back to the picture, this is Mikey riding one of those toys for toddlers.  I think this is a very cute picture. Oh, and he got new shoes from Aunt Angel!

Day Three.

Kevin was watching a movie and Michael decided to turn the T.V off.  Kevin kinda laughed, and used the remote to turn it back on.  Of course, Michael notice it turned on "by itself" and looks at it for a minute before turning it back off.  Kevin says, "hey Mikey, I was watching that!" as he turns it back on.  Michael laughs at him and turns it off again!  It was too funny!

Day Two.

Our first half day!  I was so excited because not only was today a half day, but we also have a three day weekend!  This is me and my friend Ashley waiting for our buses to get to the school.  I tried to get my friend Casey to get in the picture too, but she doesn't like her picture being taken.  It was really windy today, so my hair was everyewhere, as you can see.  I'm very grateful for the friends that are still talking to me, they are some of my best support and part of the reason I even go back every week.

My New Day One!

I got the new camera I have been waiting for, and I was so excited to take a picture when I went with my grandma to get a homecoming dress.  Long story short, this was NOT a fun night for me at all.  Nothing I do is ever good enough for my family!
