a few days have passed..

so allow me to catch up! Keegan had his first scrimmage on saturday, they won, he did good, although he didn't feel very good :( he wasn't very excited during it but they all get to bat 3 times and he did it with the T all three times and got better each one! they won the scrimmage! then they had their first game on tuesday night, and he felt a lot better and was pretty excited about it! when it was keegan's turn to bat the coach to the T away, I started to freak out since keegan had never done that before it was always the guys who had played the year before that did that, but i dunno if the coach was trying to show off and see how many he could get to do it or just trying to push keegan but he hit it the first time! the other 2 times he went to bat he didn't use the T and he did awesome! he was so proud of himself and still is, although his story goes more like "yeah I hit it to the fence and it hit it and i took off running and made it to 3rd!" haha love that kid :)

then came the allergy doc, ugh, wednesday keegan went for allergy testing and it was HORRIBLE. they didn't test him for any food allergies because he has never had any problems with any foods, but they did test him for a lot of other stuff and he was allergic to EVERYTHING except cats and dogs.. lots of trees and grass and mold, dust mites, so as i always work hard to keep my house clean, now we are changing some more things like we got a new vacuum with a hepa filter to help with his allergies, doing some tricks to our vents to keep the air even more fresh and filtered, and washing sheets once a week in hot water instead of every two weeks like i was.. along with dust mite covers for beds and stuff like that.. hopefully that with the meds and shots he will get some relief! I really don't know how Audrey has no problems with allergies, I have bad allergies though they seem to be getting better with age i still have problems with them and when i go to the country it get's worse, but Audrey seems to have very little problems with it!

speaking of Audrey, today was Earth day, in the car after school she says "so today was Earth Day and me and my friends picked up all the trash on the earth so its all done now, then i made you a castle out of trash, it was fun!" she's so sweet to think she solved the trash problem worldwide, what a sweet girl :)

The Flood....

ook I promise I have not forgotten about my blog, truth is I forgot the password and haven't really had time or the motivation to go in and change it.. but seeing as the kids are at their Dad's tonight, house is cleaned and im bored out of my mind, I decided to take care of that.. but I have some catching up to do, not a lot of excitement going on in our house except for, THE FLOOD! so we get up one weekday morning a couple weeks ago and do or normal morning thing, as the kids are waking up I start a load of laundry like usual, we then head up-stairs to get ready for school, about 20 minutes later come back down to water, and a lot of it, covering the laundry room, bathroom, kitchen and dining room oh and the pantry too.. almost reaching the carpet in the living room, but thankfully it didn't! I run in and turn the washer off and just kind of stand there wondering what the heck im gonna do, of course Miss.Perfect Audrey starts telling me how it is getting on her high heels and how I need to clean up the mess, although every towel we had couldn't have touched it! so I leave, take the kids to school and amazing enough my mom's husband happens to work for a water evacuation company and came and cleaned it all up in about 20 minutes!! yay!! since then nothing much has happened except for Keegan eating cat food, and loving it, trying to talk Audrey into having some... yeah, I know.

oh my, a little behind!

yeah so I haven't forgotten about blogging.. PROMISE! just been busy.. hmm let's see, we had a good weekend, the kids were with their dad this weekend and i really did nothing, justin was working overtime.. which left me home, cleaning house and BORED! these animals almost drove me CRAZY over the weekend though, but I survived.. tonight keegan had tball practice again he did really good, needs to work on batting some but we have plans of buying him a new bat and stuff this week so this weekend he can get lots of practice in! friday is good friday so that means 3 day weekend! we are going to do lots of fun stuff and sunday is justin's birthday, audrey said he needs to dress up like the easter bunny for easter and that we can get him a easter bunny suit at walmart.. hmm im sure he would just love that! ok that's all i have time for today gotta get the house cleaned up and get some things done! goodnight!!

good day :)

so today was a good day, weather was perfect! keegan wanted me to come eat lunch with him, so i did.. ended up staying the rest of the day because for some reason the kids in his class just love me :) he's been having trouble with his little girlfriend Hallie, she is such a doll i just love her, well i guess the other day keegan said she left him for isiah and then for rudy.. hahhaa so he wanted to get her back today, so we dressed up lookin hot and made his hair awesome and when i showed up at lunch he was like i dunno if it worked mom, but he was laughing and being silly with all his friends, didn't seem to care too much :) hallie came up to us and gave me a big hug and told me how crazy keegan was being that day, i said so i hear you aren't keegan's girlfriend anymore whats up?? ok ok before you think im crazy last time i was there all she could talk to me about is how keegan is so cute and she wants to be his girlfriend soooo bad but he doesn't like her like that, well yeah guess a lot has changed in the 6 year old lives since then hehe.. so anyway she just smiled really big and said yeah i am! and then ran off. after lunch they all didn't want me to leave so i stayed during center time where we made books about eggs with chicks hatching out of them :) then it was off to art, in art they watched a video on Dr.Seuss book about colors of my days, where everyday he feels like a different color and talks about how they make him feel, they kids were given colored cards and after watching that part of the video they drew a picture on the card of how that color made them feel, first was red, which made them feel happy, Keegan drew a picture of himself as a transformer with a big smile, i looked over and little Hallie had drawn a picture of Keegan! and it said i love Keegan all over it, sooo cute i almost cried! they went on to do 5 more colors and on every page Hallie had put i love Keegan and they all had something to do with him, too stinkin cute! so we stayed for computers where they were doing math and my super smart son breezed through it all, i was proud :) he just loves when i come and spend the day at school with him and i love it too! plan on doing the same with Audrey soon, she never wants me too for some reason lol today she took her new books to school and also told everyone how Taylor Swift (Slift as she says) is coming to her birthday party.. hmmm. why not, I had Cinderella there last year! :) she's keeps changing her party theme between taylor swift, snow white, little mermaid, and Alice in wonderland.. alice in wonderland is of course my pick because i could do soooo much with it, but we shall see!

Tball time!!

soo today was a good day, i promise to keep this post shorter than the first lol sometimes things just get to me and i feel i need to explain them in detail to try to make people understand me.. Keegan had his first t ball practice today, it lasted about an hour and a half and it was pretty fun, we got there and realized Jackson and will, two kids from his class that are his besites are on his team! so that made him feel right at home and excited, he did very well, after his coach came up to me and said is this really his first year to play? cause he's really good! kinda surprised me considering Keegan really has never played haha so we are excited about it! Audrey did have to miss cheerleading for his practice but she will start next week and we will have t ball on Monday and Saturday and cheer/tumble on Thursday, busy!!! we are excited for the weekend plan on having fun hopefully getting some stuff from the old house moved here that we are needing, like the swing set!! its 8:30 now and kids are in bed, yay! time for me to do some more cleaning and laundry and go to sleep! goodnight!

day 1... let's see how this goes

ok so anyone who knows me knows i love my facebook.. but there is so much more i need to say or feel like sharing than can fit into my little status box the 500 times i update it during the day :) so here goes my try at a blog.. everyone else does it, so why not!

let's see... so if you are following this im guessing you know a little about me, so much has changed in the last year or so that you maybe fell behind but all and all, same Devin.

Today is St.Patty's day, yay! have some green beer or something, yuck. we all wore our green and had a fun day, I think Audrey had the best day though, they went on a leprechaun hunt at her school through the downtown area, she loved it, although they never found him they did find notes from him and he did leave some gold (chocolates) for her and her friend under their mats after nap time, as well as his shoes :) on the way home earlier she told me "mommy the stoplights are even ready for st.patricks day, see the lights are green!" soo cute Keegan just rolled his eyes of course.. we also went to the book fair today where we bought Pinkalicious, Purplelicious, some star wars book, and llama llama mad at mama, the last one was a fave for sure, we plan to get all the llama llama books :)

that was pretty much our day, Justin is working overtime.. so, sad but good :) Im so thankful for him, just when I wanted to give up on men forever he walked into my life.. well walked back in anyway.. allow me to explain Justin to you.. for those of you that care or are curious i guess, if you are reading this just to be in my business or judge me that's fine, it is my hope that you will look at my life with more understanding if you really know what is going on in it and stop just pretending you do.. that get's annoying to me, people who make judgments when they clearly have no earthly idea what they are talking about! so anywho, I met justin when i was little, im not sure how old i was, guessing somewhere between 1st and 3rd grade, we both lived and went to school in westville, he lived behind my cousin's Brian (cuzzin) tonya and sharon. he played with them all the time and I would join in when i was there which was usually everyday since their mom kept me before and after school while my mommy worked, i really don't remember him much from those years though, not as much as my cousin's do, he just told me he would get mad when i came over cause i took them away from him hahah that's me always the popular one ;) well he lived behind them and now his mommy lives in front of them, although they moved a year ago.. of course brian and tonya and sharon haven't lived there in a while, but anwyay, justin was also good friends with on of my good friends liz, that's how we met back up these days, we all hung out a few times, our "crew" we always had fun, the night before halloween i had picked up justin cause we were all going spook hunting.. and we have been together ever since, i really wasn't looking for a relationship then, after getting divorced i had dated a few guys but they all were idiots or to into themselves or annoying or wiered out by the fact that i had kids, i really can't say i dated all of them, more like talked to, no one worth keeping past a friendship, and that's fine, i made a lot of good friends there that i have had some good times with, but justin changed my life. we have been together since the day before halloween and 5 months later we are still going strong and haven't spent a day apart, nor would we want to. of course he get's on my nerves sometimes, and i know i make him crazy but we really are perfect, and in hopes that everyone in the world has a soul mate, i can say with no doubt in my mind that he is mine, we share the same views and interests want the same things out of life, and are happy doing the most random things, i really believe we just complete each other.. ok ok now let's hold on i know what you are thinking seriously they have been together for 5 months and she knows all this? well how long is the "right" time to think these things about someone? how long is the wait time to know you are meant to be with someone? a month? year? 10 years? everyone is different and like my grandparents who have been married 56 years in july yes i said MARRIED 56 YEARS when you know, you know, and we know.. everyone that spends 10 minutes around us knows the same thing, let's get to the most important part, his relationship with my kids amazes me.. they LOVE him. he's always been a friend to them and supportive of things they do, laughed when they are being silly and sad when he hears something that has hurt their feelings, they adore him and he loves them. i never thought i would meet anyone who is so good to them, you always hear stories of kids and how they hate who their mom or dad is with, now out of the other guys i talked to i never introduced them to any of them, there was no need to, i made the mistake of allowing them to be around a guy i was seeing before justin and yes that was a mistake, but he was a friend before he was anything else and they had already been around him.. so no its not like my kids have met all these different interests of mine or anything like that, just one before justin, and there won't be another. so maybe that answers some questions, or "concerns" lol obviously i would never do anything to hurt my kids, i have made some hard decisions, because i had to and yes i do think they were the right things to do, we are happier than we have ever been, no longer do my kids always ask why im crying or feel sad because of how things are going around them, we have happy days and they see there dad as much as he is able to see them since his accident and they are happy doing that too. as for their dad and myself, we are finally friends again, after months of fights and harsh words they are in the past, we can get along, and still have our good memories and try and forget the bad, and that's how it should be. i tried for the almost 7 years we were together, i tried, everyday, and so did he, we didn't just give up when things got tough cause trust me it would have been a looooooooooooong time ago if we had, but we both knew it was never going to work, and wish each other the best. it just always annoys me to hear judgments from other about how we didn't know how to be married or just gave up cause it was easy or blah blah blah, to that i could tell you off all day.. but i won't, why? because its in the past, and #1 you have no idea what you are talking about :) unless you live in someones life EVERY DAY and go through what they go through with each other EVERY DAY then really you have no idea. no room to comment, or anything, so why do it? maybe because you are unhappy with your own life and want to point out the struggles of someone else, never say someone didn't try in the marriage, cause i don't care who they are unless they got drunk in vegas and got married and called it off the next day i bet my life that they tried to make it work, and we did. yes all of that i would love to put in a facebook status lol but it just won't fit! well im tired now after catching you up on some details in my life.. i promise tomorrow won't be so much of a out pouring of my brain.. or it might be, who knows!
