Monday Monday WLS EXPRESS
Good Morning Alissa and the rest of my TMB Family,
We have had such a wonderful time with Tim and our grandson these last few days. Going to be hard to leave them today but the good thing is we know we will see them in just a couple of weeks for Thanksgiving and then again at Christmas and who knows how many times inbetween. We will be heading for Dover this morning. A little nervous about the drive as I dont do highways very well, and Mark has his car so I will have to drive. Once we get to the other side of Washington it should not be to bad but you know I will white nuckeling it till then. Eric wants to drive with his daddy so will just be me in the van oh and the cat. Probably just as well. Please keep us in prayer. We have an appt with the housing office in Dover at 2:00 to get our key, and then the household stuff will be delivered tomorrow morning. Yiippiieee then I get to start decorating. Will stay in a hotel tonight. Eric will start school tomorrow if all goes well. He really needs to start right away making some friends. Prayers this morning for Viv and her family. Hope things are getting better for you guys. Also prayers for Jenny and Eric, and all the others in need. Have a blessed day. Love you guys. Michelle
Hugs and blessings ~~ Vivian

Hope everyone had a great weekend! We didn't do a whole lot. Went Garage Saling most of Saturday morning. Found stuff for the Grand Babies and a few Fall/Winter clothes for myself. There were 93 Garage Sales in the paper this weekend!! It was a pretty day for it too!
Glad Jeremy is okay, he was still having a few pains through the weekend, but I think it eased his anxiety knowing that it wasn't his heart! That's scary to have that type of Family History and then have chest pains!
Not much going on this week, hope it flys by! LOL
Hugz and prayers to all that need them!!

quick fly by here as i run out the door for an appt in a few. Had a fun weekend with the girls in livingston, then spent some time with my kids at Tom and Que's on the way home. Barron is wayyyyyyy hacked off at me coz i took Bella Trick or Treating last weekend and not him. It was way funny when i got ready to leave. Wouldnt tell me bye, wouldnt do any of our usual routine of
'ok barron, mommy has to work you have to watch the house for tom and que ok?. turned his butt to me and snorted, Nice. The usual answer is nods yes, pats my chest etc. nope, pissed that HE wasnt getting to go somewhere with me this time lol. Crazy dog lol. Que and Tom got a big kick out of it :) He forgets he's a DOG and not a PERSON!
Enjoyed Karla's' home but poor Ben had to call yesterday to see if it was 'safe' to come home yet lol.
Hope everyone has a great day, check in later

Morning
Sorry major rant, I just need to get this off my chest.
I'm kind of down and really emotional right now. I'm really missing hubby and feeling sorry for myself. I hate that he is gone so much right now. I shouldn't complain as he at least has a job but this 5 weeks gone and 1 week home thing is really getting old.
Boy I was having such an upbeat day yesterday, lots of info/pm and responses to my plastic questions. Well my day ended on a down note. I walk in the door and she decided to pick a fight. I told her I bought a family gift for Christmas and elliptical she got all pissed about that because she doesn't like them and likes treadmill, which I really can't use as much as they are hard on my knees. Which is what I told her. Then she throw at me that I must have consulted with Ryan, like it would really matter. I'm trying to get something that everyone can use not just one things that she likes, those items are too much money for that crap. If she wants a treadmill then she can buy her own (like that's gonna happen).
Apparently I am a horrible mother and treat the boys better then her. So I guess the extra privileges that come with age don't matter, nor do all the things we do for her. Kids can be such selfish B's. She needs a major reality check. Like the cost of keeping her butt. We have just spent a chunck of change on her mouth and are going to get her braces.
I don't think asking her to save some of her money to pay for school is asking a lot and nor is applying for scholarships for school either. I asked her earlier in a tex yesterday when she had to sign up and pay for school and books. No response its amazing that when she gets a tex she doesn't like she ignores it like she never got it. We pay her cell phone bill, her car insurance, household goods and gas to school. She has know for quite a long time that her car needs fixed and knows what she needs to do with it (Have Gary look at it), do you think she has done this know, apparently thats my fault too that the car has issues. I told her to be grateful for having a car and she needs to take care of it. She went on to rant that she pays for the things she wants and has a job and the boys don't. Well James can't get a job because the only one with walking distance is Walmart and you have to be 18 to work there. I haven't put him in driving school because I have no way to get him there right now and his car insurance would be a lot. He doesn't mind that when he can drive he will probably drive the white van, which Autumn never would.
Things are going to be changing in our house hold, if she doesn't like it then she can be the adult she claims to be and take care of all her living expenses. She needs to get off her butt and help around the house, been giving her a break as she has lots of homework, a job and has been sick. I sent her a tex message to clean her room (so she can put her new dresser in there) and were she has been sleeping. Of course she ignores it, I called her and woke her up at 11 am, said she was tired and hasn't got to sleep in, well welcome to the real world. Apparently she saved all her college homework up to do on Sunday (she had a paper due). Her dads side of the bed looks like a war zone (she has been sleeping there), her bedroom is a bio hazard I'm sure and lets not go into her dads car she has been driving while he has been gone. I'm going to start either throw her things away she leaves lying around or throwing them in her doorway. She will have to clean her dad's car out and have it detailed before he gets home.
I'm pretty upset and pissed at her right now. Sorry with so much ranting, but it makes me feel better just getting it written down.
Thanks for letting me rant

Good morning all,
Starting another week of job searching. UGH!! I will keep my head up and I know the right job is out there. We leave in 2 weeks to drive up to Josh's graduation in Great Lakes, IL. I'm so excited about seeing him. I need to get online and find some stuff to do in that area. We will be there for Thanksgiving day and the days after. He graduates the day before Thanksgiving and then has liberty until Sunday. He does have to report back to his "ship" every night, so we can't go far. I'm sure there's plenty to do in the Chicago area. Anyone that has some ideas to throw out, send them my way for researching.
Sending out prayers for all of you. Asking for special prayers for my brother who is going through a divorce. Looks like no hope of reconciliation since his wife has decided not to end her affair. I'm directing David to Divorce Recovery groups now. He's convinced he will be alone forever. He has issues with rejection and self esteem when it comes to relationships. Sound familiar? He never really had a weight problem but we moved around alot growing up so it was hard for us to retain friends. It's carried through for him and I'm trying to help him work through it, also encouraging counseling for it. Anyway, have a great week everyone.
