We made it home yesterday from our journey to Georgia over the holidays. It took two whole days, but we made it. We discovered when we got home that something moved in to our home while we were away....
Andy the squirrel moved in to the garage. He must have slipped in while Michael was packing up his truck to leave. He had it made because in my craft bin, I had some reindeer food in little baggies that didn't sell and Michael had put our tree in the garage so the needles wouldn't fall off in the house and it even still had water in the bottom. So Andy had food, shelter and water. Also, do you know what happens when a squirrel eats oatmeal, bird seed and glitter mixed together? It poops glitter. I would take a photo of all the effing glitter poop, but it was too gross to look at. And to top it all off, the litter effer didn't want to leave the garage. It took over an hour to get him out. We officially feel like the Griswold's!

On the road again...
Ahh, today we make the dreaded long arse drive back home. Fun times I'd say. Our travels consist of 4 LARGE, very LARGE contico boxes full of toys (I'll post a pic later), three children (preschool, toddler and infant stages), two dogs (one 9 years old and one 50# puppy)and two exhausted and ready to be home parents. Not all in one vehicle of course. We each drove seperately. YAY me! Please pray we make it there still married.

babies=$$$
FYI: BABIES/CHILDREN COST MONEY!!!!
Go ahead and think I am a bitch, it's okay, lots of other people think I am and after this post you probably will too. But let's be real, having children cost money. With that said, how do you feel about families on government assistance? I am all for the services that are out there for the needy. But what I cannot stand are the lazy ass individuals that are out there milking the system for all it's worth.
I have read about/ seen many a families where both parents are in school and don't work or only one parent works part-time and they have one child and decide to have another. Now, I know it isn't any of my beeswax how other families work, but I find it totally irresponsible how a family like this operates. This family of three, soon to be four receives all kinds of assistance and can't pay their bills. Why on earth would you intentially bring another child into this world when you can't hardly afford the one you have or pay your bills or afford to put food on the table? It blows me away.
Once upon a time I felt sorry for people like this, but not anymore. My husband works his arse off to provide for our family. We but our chops off budgeting and saving for emergencies and our future. We struggle, but we make it work. We also know that our wallets (or our minds for that matter) cannot handle a fourth child.
Ok, I am done. I am just sick and tired of seeing people take advantage of the system.

December from H E double hockey sticks!
Oh my word. This December has been a month from hell. I mean pure hell for my small family of 5. To start things off, my beloved younger passed away, on my birthday. Two days later, my husbands grandmother passed away. The night before my cousins services, the baby ended up in the hospital after testing positive for RSV and was there for three nights with signs of pneumonia. Then, Christmas Eve, I fell down the stairs of my in-laws deck and broke a toe. Then I didn't hear my parents knocking on the door Christmas morning (they were coming to watch Santa's reveal). All this and we still haven't even made our trek back to Kansas. I hope and pray for a peaceful 2011.
