Thanksgiving

Well another Thanksgiving has came and gone. We had a great time!!! My children came down for the week. This time things went great! We had Thanksgiving at my house and my sister and her boyfriend came and Jackie's sister Karen and her son TJ came. We had a full house but the weather was great and the kids got to play outside (not so noisy inside). We celebrated Christmas when they were down. I really hate to see them go. Every time they come it seems like the have grown up so much more.

Just a mess

It has been a long time since I was last on here. I just had my children here for a visit for the summer. I miss them so much already and they have only been gone for two days. My oldest is not a horrible child but just crushed me when he was here. What have I done. I am and always have been a "tough" mom. He has become so mouthy and disrespectful. I know that he is 16 and hormones are raging but still. The first time I was acutally concerned is when I was letting him drive and he was just being foolish and I told him to stop it. Like any mom would well he of course had something sarcastic to say so seeing we were inthe parking lot I slapped him across the mouth. This is what I would have gotten. Well he raised his hand to me like he was going to hit me. I didn't want him to think I was scared of him so I smacked him and told him to never raise his hand to me. Things seemed better and this was at the start og the visit. Well the night before they left he INFORMED me that I was to put all the luggage on the trailor with the four wheeler, so he could lay in the back of the Jeep. Well I didn't think this is safe so I said no. Well off we went. I told him to shut up the the neighbors could here him. I walked up to him and told him again and tried to push him in the house (we live in a neighborhood). He grabbed my wrist and started pushing at me and I thought I wsa going down the stairs. I ma just crushed to think he would lay his hands on me. Evrytime anything goes wrong with the kids I think is it because I left their Dad? I wanted them to come with me but he wanted to stay in New York. I thought I was doing what was best. I will never know what would hve been right but what happened to my sweet baby boy. He was my first and I would give any thing for him.

After the Holidays

Well for thanksgiving we had my three children and at Christmas we had my man's 2 children. We had a great time. This is the first time we had his children here at our house. I am so happy that it turned out great. They had a great time and are looking forward to coming back this summer for a month.
We took them up to the hunt camp that we belong to and they rode the four wheelers and the dirt bikes. I was nervous because his son had a broken hand that needed surgery to repair but you know Dads and their sons. He was out there riding and he managed to only lay it down once and didn't get hurt.
The first night that they got here we took them to ride the horse. They had a great time. Alyssa had been to a horse riding camp so she had a little idea of how to ride Mathew was a little unsure but did great. I will post pics. at a later time.
