moving??

Okay so we are faced with a question....we have been offered a 3 bedroom house (with permission to add a 4 bedroom) house in town. This would mean I would be 5 minutes from work and my DH would be about 10-15 from his job. Currently we are paying at least 500 a month for gas as we are about 30 minutes away from both our jobs, and anything else we might need/want. We have also been having some problems with our current "landlord" (ie: coming home to random notes wanting to increase our rent, and a note for a 50 dollar late fee for paying the rent on the first he says rent in due before the 1 ?????) Okay so a move would mean paying almost twice the current rent but our fuel price would be de creased by 90 percent, it would also mean that the children would need to change schools. But we would all be closer to our friends big sister bear would be able to get a part time job or babysit more. There are so many things to think and pray about. I hope we make the right decisions!!!

it's a crying kinda night!!

I'm gonna start by venting for a second then I'll explain the crying thing.
This is to the older man who came into my store tonight, if you'd rather shop at 7 11 then by all means head right on over there (it's down the street aways) we (and by that I mean the employees) are only human so some one forgot to put out a tag, there is only so much we can do and yes sometimes tags get forgotten. This does not give you the right to come into the store and tear a strip off of me because there is 1 tag missing. It is NOT my fault although now that you have rudely pointed it out I will fix it!! Also it is not our job to make up the prices so how is it fair that you blast me because it's only 99 cents in other stores. I can't control that if it's so much cheaper somewhere else then why are you here bugging me?? While we are venting.....yes we do have sales and yes we get x amount of stock for said sale, I will however remind you that it is out of the employees hands as to how fast the said stock sells if it's a good deal it will go fast if you want some come early if you wait until 3 days into the sale??? To bad we can't control how fast things will sell but please no that it is not the cashiers fault so please don't yell at us!! Now back to the man that tore a strip off of me I hope your happy you totally ruined my night over a stupid can of fruit, now I feel like crying!!!

As if I don't have enough stuff in my life I have to deal with that!! Right around this time is when we found out about lil sister bears PH1 (www.ohf.org to find out more or click the link on the left)and though my kids look healthy I assure you they have a MAJOR problem, you do not see them after they take their meds, big brother bear takes his without much problem, but lil sister bear who is only 7 and takes more then big brother bear, well she has a hard time. This week she looked at her dose and said Mom just looking at them gives me a tummy ache. I wish I could take them for her but I can't I also can't make her better. It is so hard to watch my little girl lie on the sofa for 4 hours after a dose of meds.(Lil sister bear takes 300mg.of vitiamin B6,big brother bear takes 250mg.this is what it says on lil sister bears bottle of B6: adults take 1 tablet daily with a meal. Keep away from children and I give her 3 everyday and big brother bears bottle says adults: take 1 tablet daily or as directed by your health care practitoner,and no these meds are not covered by insurance or manitoba health)We try to give it at supper so that by the time she feels bad she's sleeping but there are times when it doesn't work out that way. I want to make my babies better but the only way to do that is to get them new livers and its not like you can order those on e-bay, and then it would be a lifetime of anti-rejection drugs and praying they would be okay. Not to mention that they could possiablly not make it through the transplant. I would give my right arm to make them better!! You am I kidding I would give my life for them to be okay, I just want my babies to be okay is that to much to ask??

I have a little boy and two other angels ( I don't know if they are boys or girls) waiting for me already is it to much to ask for me to keep these ones here??? Please,please let me keep them or if you have to take them please take us all.

I need my heart to keep me alive and a piece of it is already gone,please let me keep the other pieces, I'll do anything to keep them, please,please!

it's cold outside

It is july and it is cold outside today. Today is a sweater and jeans kind of day. I guess the kids will be playing inside today,there is also a thunder storm warning which means I will have a 4 year old attached to my hip. He hates thunder storms and always ends up hanging on to me crying. At the moment the children are cuddling under their comforters in the living room. It's July and it's really cold. On the plus side maybe I can get baby nephew bears quilt, quilted!! I'm gonna try machine quilting it so wish me luck!!

2 boys , a red light and a police car

What happens when two boys fight in the back seat, and their Mom runs a red light trying to break up the fight?

That's right the said Mom getd pulled over by a cop car!! We were doing some last minute wedding things when we came to a red light I stopped and the boys were fighting, I was have turned to the boys and letting them have it when I saw movement out of the corner of my eye and went through the intersection. The light was still red and I was almost t-boned by a cop. The cop pulled me over thankfully I got a warning and not a ticket!! It would have been big 278.00 is the fine!! It was totally my fault and I'm super glad no one got hurt!!

On the upside the cop told the boys to sit down, be quiet and stop fighting, rides have been a lot quieter since!!

no more left

That's it my parents have no more single children left, as of yesterday we are all married!!
My sisters wedding went very well, although there were a few minor glitches, such as the favors for the desert reception are still in the front of my van, the ring moose (I'll explain that a little little further down) walked down the isle without his pillow and the cake had a small accident!!(Totally still useable, and we were able to turn it so you couldn't see the damage)

Other then that thingd went well.The night before the wedding both flower girls were in tears not wanting to have any part in thr wedding, infact lil sister bear had herself so worked up over it that she had an upset belly for a few days before. She cried all the way down the isle on the first run, the second time she still didn't look happy but wasn't crying.The day of she didn't cry at all she did a wonderful job, so did the other flower girl they were so cute.
The day of the rehersal I over heard baby bear telling big brother bear and lil sister bear that he did not want the be a ring bear he wanted to be a ring moose instead!! So from there on he was known as the ring moose by everyone!!
The wedding was a rainbow themed, the brides flowers were rainbow roses (if I ever figure out how to upload pics I'll post some!!) There were rainbows everywhere!! The flowergirl and the ring moose (who are only 5 months apart) were totally in love they went everywhere together!!

Most of all the love between the bride and groom was there and everone could see it.So now its all them as they learn all the things about each other that they don't yet know!!So congrats to the newly weds!!

butter tarts and sewing machines

How do these things go together? Well yesterday I made about 150 butter tarts, some of them where duds
(Which my husband thorughly enjoyed, although he had a belly ache afterwords) and the rest are for my little sisters wedding! Today I tried to use my sewing machine the key word there is tried, for some reason the bobbin compartment keeps coming out and I then have to take everything apart to fix it then it works for awhile then I have to fix it again. I think I will have to take it to the sewing machine doctor!!

In a past post I mentioned that a friend was waiting to see if she was ahvig another boy (she has two already) or a girl, well she had the baby and it's a girl!!!!!

Now the task is figuring out how to entertain the child all summer?? It has only really been a week since they were off and they are already deiving me up the wall.I think I said go outside more times today they I ever have before,that and please close the door!! Anyone have any ideas I'm open to them!!!

weddings

My baby sister is gettingg married in 8 days!!! Today as I put the finishing touches on the guest book quilt, ring bearer pillow and the flower girl baskets I think again about my own marriage and am so thankful that I have a loving husband whom I love and know he loves me!!! Don't get me wrong we have our days but all in all I know and I hope he knows that when the hard times hit (and they seem to hit a lot around here) that we are in it for the long haul no matter what!!! I love you Daddy bear!!!

On asomewhat sad note june 30 has again come and gone. My angel bear celebrated his 11 th birthday in heaven I'll bet it was some party!!! One day I will be there to celbrate with him, until then I spend that day thinking about him, and having a good cry not a single day goes by without thinking about him but his birthday is by far the worst!!! The years have made the whole in my heart bareable, and yet that seems like the wrong word I don't think. It gets bareable I think you just learn to live with it!!!

This year on his day myself and baby bear went to the cemetary to bring him a hugs and kisses balloon and white tiger liles!! There is something so sad in watching your child run across a cemetary to bring his brother (who he will never know in this life time ) his birthday balloon, and yet I am so glad that all my other children know that they have angel brother and are not scared to talk about him. Infact they did not get to go see him on his birthday because I had to work so they were going with daddy bear when the brakes failed on the truck so they have been asking all week to go see him!! Maybe tonight!!

first mobile post

I still do not have internet at home, but I do now have access on my phone! However it took awhile to figure out how to log In to my blog. I think I finally figured it out!!

Lots has happened in the last few months. The biggest thing is that my. Nephew is here!! Nephew bear joined our family on May 13 and he is the most perfect, beautiful baby in the world!!

A few friends have also added additions to their families one is now a mom of 3 boys and the other is now a mom of a son and a daughter, one friend is still waiting!

On a sad note we think that little sister bear may have kidney stones again, she had quite a bit of pain a few weeks ago and had to be taken to childrens hospital emergency on a tuesday and again to see the doc and have an ultrasound on thursday we have not received the results of the ultasound yet and are hoping that it is not stones but just calicum depoists!!!
