My Heart Smiled Just A Little More

I had a busy day of picking up costumes, doing hair, and came home only to run to town again. I am wore out but got to enjoy my gifts the kids made me. They both were absolutely gorgeous. Something that really touched my heart was the plaque Ry brought home. A lot of people know in the beginning of mine and Ken's relationship especially when we moved in together. Ry struggled with the fact of who is this man taking the place of my Papa. (We lived with my parents until Ryleigh was six years old. Her Papa was the only male figure she had in her life because her sperm donation person hasn't been here since she was two. Even before then I can count on 2 hands how many times he seen her the first two years of her life.)  For a while when we'd be in public and someone say to Ken awe you have some cute kids. Ry would reply he's not our dad. My heart smiled though the day she realized Ken wasn't going anywhere and accepted the way things were on her own. She now agrees her daddy has cute kids. She tells everyone he is her daddy. And today my heart smiled even bigger when I seen her  plaque from school that said Happy Mothers Day on the back was signed RYLEIGH E.

E is the beginning of Ken's last name. :) 

Q & A

I have been asked a few questions, whether it be on here or people who have followed me on Google Plus, Facebook or Twitter.  I have been planning to make this post for about a week now. Lord have mercy just about everyday this week something has come up. Not only that but still dealing with the pain from having a tooth extracted. However, there are three questions that have been asked quite a bit therefor I will answer them three now.


1. Does your children's fathers have anything to do with them? 

• This question in a sense is one of my favorites because it gives me a chance to actually explain the situation coming from the person who actually knows the truth.  To answer this question as a simple answer it would be NO. If you would ask their dad's it would be "She keeps them from me."  Do I keep my kids from their dads.  No I have never kept my children from their dads.  My daughters dad hasn't seen her since she was two years old. My son's dad is more of a convenient dad. When it was on his time? However, I have been called every name in the book by both men who have chose to walk out of their children's lives but have no one else to blame but themselves so they blame me.  My daughters dad knows that I live in the same spot that I have since the day that I had Ryleigh as well as my sons dad. Whom my sons dad is prison again. The first time he was in prison we wrote back and forth. He gets out after promising to step up his game. It took him a week to call me after he got out of prison. Then after that phone call which was a decent phone call no fighting, nothing. I hadn't heard from him. I think a lot of that is because he talked to Brayden. When he told Brayden that "Daddy Loves and Misses You". Brayden is smart and knows he hasn't been in the picture therefor Brayden replies you aren't my daddy and I don't miss you! Then asked to speak to his brother. Brayden will tell you his daddy is Ken. Ken has been in the picture for 4 years straight almost, will be in November.   Ryleigh after being with and living with Ken for almost 2 years finally realized and accepted that her real dad wasn't coming back around. She finally accepted after some trials and tribulations that Ken wasn't going anywhere. She began calling him Ken Daddy. 

2. Speaking of Ken, the next question when are you and Ken aka Ken Daddy getting Married? Or do ya'll plan on getting married. 

• Yes, we plan on getting married. we were shooting for this year but not sure if that will be possible because right now Ken has had an interview with a very big company and hoping to get on there. If that happens that will put us back a few months trying to catch up bills. Weddings cost money! However, we have talked about when he does get this better job possibly getting married at the court house then going and having a wedding next year. 

3. Is there a reason you aren't going to hair school anymore? 

• There is a lot of reasons why I am not going back to hair school. Some in which I can't discuss or write about right now. A lot of my decision was base don the fact that students were teaching students how to do hair. That's not at all how that is suppose to work.  Then after figuring and what not until we can get ken a better paying job we couldn't afford for me to go the school that I have always dreamed of going too.  However, I WON'T give it up. Just sometimes, most of the time life happens and you have to pick your priorities. 

Thank you for the questions. Would love for some more questions. 

Hope to hear from ya'll soon!

Morning Routine

In reality and middle of all the chaos, I don't really have a set routine. My kids are like me and very rarely eat breakfast. (Yes, I make my kids breakfast if they are hungry in the morning!) I as well am human and have ran late in the mornings.   Lately I have been waking up between 6:30 & 7. More toward 6:30, especially on Wednesdays and Thursday's, mainly because my dad switched jobs awhile back and actually has time off during the weeks. Wednesday's and Thursdays and instead of setting a very loud alarm usually my mom will sleep in the other so in the mornings when she has to get up she doesn't disturb him. Therefor I am my mothers alarm but not for long because summer break is right around the corner. Usually once I get the kids dressed, fed if they wanna eat, and out the door by 20 til 8 on mornings they wanna eat breakfast at school. Other mornings we leave 10 minutes until 8. The routines aren't really routine. My blog wouldn't be named Occasionally Chaotic if I was strictly to the T all the time.  

Once the kids are off to school, if I have errands to run, the mornings is when I'll do them. I don't normally have something to do everyday but this week I have. The dentist I went Monday, went and picked up a few items Tuesday, helped my mom today and dance for Ryleigh. Tomorrow is another day but it's an unexpected day for an errand.  Friday is bill day. 

Okay, back to the normal routine. I start laundry. I do sit and watch TV for a bit to finish waking up because let's be serious who in their right mind likes waking up at 6:30 am every morning? Not I, but I am a mom and that's what I do. 

After I get chores done around the house and some outside such as picking up things I see obvious in the yard that needs not be there or just simple cleaning sweaping off the porch. Usually by time the morning is gone it's more up in the air that afternoon. 

Seriously tho, it's end of the school year, dance year is ending, and summer activities and TBALL starting. My life isn't always chaotic just occasionally.  But the coming up morning will catch some photos of what we do. 

Holy Pain Get it Gone.

Toothache Pain is the worse pain ever. Luckily I have a wonderful dentist that is going out of town for two days and is going to work me in between two patients today. The bad part is I'm getting this tooth pulled at three o clock and my daughter has dance at 4. Luckily I will have a friend there to help Ry try on costumes if I don't make it in time to help her try on her costumes.   With that being said I need to get things hunted up for dance before having to go get Ryleigh. I will post later about the eventful day I've had!


Update as of 5/8/2015: The toothache pain itself has went away. I have had issues with my jaw for going on two weeks now. He says its normal. I was beginning to believe he broke my jaw because he said the tooth itself was hard to get out and he struggled getting it out.  So far today the pain isn't that bad actually the only time my jaw pain bothered me was when I tried eating a hot dog.


Will keep y'all updated.

Y'all come back and find out what's coming up in the near future with summer coming on! :)

Spring IS Near..

The past two weeks that highest that it has got temperature wise is 65 minus a few days it did get up in the 80s. When you hear spring what do you think of?  To be honest I don't think of birds chirping, flowers blooming, grass growing, or them pesky bugs that fly around and suck the blood out of you aka mosquitoes. I think of SPRING CLEANING!   When I was attending school my house got behind. Even though it was school, I was gone most of the day, by time I got home it was time to go get the kids from school and come home, or run errands.  Therefor things got behind.  Today though, I have ran my errands this morning and since being home about 10. I've done nothing but spring clean.  My house is smelling like green apple blossom.  Yesterday, I know I posted I was getting back to spring cleaning and which I done. At that time, I was a room away from having it done. Meaning that I got all the bulk of the mess picked up and today has been sweeping, mopping, dusting, spraying the house. Laundry out the wazoo.

After I finish this post I will be vacuuming and then it is time to change out of less sweaty clothes (LOL) then going to Nana's house!

Well gotta go and finish this stuff! :)

Blog Challenge Update

I really wanted get into a routine of writing in my blog everyday! LIFE HAPPENS! Lately a lot of that has been happening between unnecessary drama, my dad's health, and this time of the year becomes busy for me to say the least!

Let me begin by saying that under no circumstances did I plan for things like this to happen in my life besides my daughters recital!

Not sure if I posted about it before or not but a little over a month ago my dad had a heart attack. Wasn't massive, but was indeed a heart attack. They did find a clot in his heart in which they are trying to dissolve with medicine.  Most of anyone that knows me knows my dad is my rock he is my everything. My dad (as well as my mom) do a lot for us but in all honesty mainly for their grand kids. For the most part tho, ken and I do everything.  I mean to be honest even though I'm not at my parents house everyday (just about it seems), I have been helping my mom do things on the computer for her crafts she enjoys doing. As well as just nonchalantly keeping an eye on my daddy.

All I will say is that the unnecessary drama was just that unnecessary.  It was an adult acting like a high schooler. Them aren't just my words. I'm not the only one that said this person has always acted like she forgot to leave the high school bull crap when she left school.  However, so far its calmed down and nothing much else has been said. The old say goes though, "CALM BEFORE THE STORM"

My kids.

Ryleigh has gotten recital folder, and we are preparing for all to come.  Brayden my youngest we are waiting on TBALL couches to get picked so we know what team he is playing on.  We have my nieces softball games coming up. She comes from the one true best friend in life that I do have.

But folks that is all that has been going on. Now Gotten get off here. I'm a room away from having spring cleaning done! :)

Perfect Weekend Get Away

This will be short and simple so I can get back to studing. In reality though my life is simple. The perfect weekend getaway for me would simply be able to go with Ken somewhere without kids as much as we love them, but just go to relax. Nothing fancy, nothing extravagant. Just plain and simple get out of town and enjoy ourselves.
