Unit 10

Ok so it is the last week of class. I am ready for some time off. This class has been challanging. I have enjoyed it. I hope that everyone enjoys their time off. I am doing some what of a vacation and I ca't wait. I am going tomorrow to finally lay in the tanning bed and try to find my dad a lady friend online. My step mom passed away in January and he has been so lonely. I hate seeing him that way so me and a good friend of his are going to try and set something up for him. He was married for 20 years to the same woman and hes a little rusty on the dating thing. I just hope that we find him someone even if its just a lady friend to go to the movies and out to eat with. Wish us luck!

Unit 9

Well its unit 9 and it has flown by so quick. This week has been so crazy. Alot has happened during this term. It was nice to have taken this class with all of you. Im sure we will meet again in another class. Hope that you all do well in the future.

Unit 8

It has been a long day. I went to my cousins baby shower today and she enjoyed everybody. She got plenty of stuff for her little one. Vacation Bible School starts tomorrow night. I will finally have the time to get things done with all the kids out of the house for a little bit every night. Yay!!! I have been so busy that I have forgotten what class I have what night and what paper I am writing on. I will be ready for break when it gets here. I have to plan for my two year olds birthday party on July 3rd. I know what Im doing it in just haven't planned everything out yet. We have a lake cabin rented for the fourth and he gets to have spongebob everywhere for a whole day. The kids will get to go swimming in the pool and the guys can go fishing or whatever they want. Good maybe then I will get time away from my hubby. I know that sounds bad but I get sick of arguing with him over little things. Hes like a kid you have to tell him over and over not to do something. Its driving me nuts. Oh well next month he will be on his way to Ohio again for a while and a break away from each other is exactly what we need at this point. I hope that it makes everythng right again.

Unit 7

This term is almost gone and Im not sure where it all went. I have had so much going on outside of school with the kids and my avon. I cant believe that have been able to keep it all straight. This class has taught me alot so far but we still have three weeks left. Maybe I can learn more. I hope that everyone has done well on their paper. Well I really dont have much to say this week. Good Luck on your paper everyone.

Unit 6

I have had a lot on my mind lately. I have been just so stressed. Raising four boys is not an easy job. especially when two of them are not yours to begin with. Dont get me wrong I love my two nephews like they were my own. Boy but this week I haven't had my two, just the twins and they have ran me crazy. I am afraid that when my two get home saturday I will not know what to do. I want to pull my hair out sometimes but I dont. I have been dealing with a friends marriage problems for two days now. I feel like a Marriage Counsilor. Its hard to explain to two people that without love coming from both of them it will never work, and have crazy kids running around. He loves her but she doesnt love him. If their feeling this way then their marriage will never work. You can love someone all you want but if they dont love you back then you are wasting your time. There is someone out there that will love you back. You just have to look with an open heart and pray that God puts that person in your life.


Poem: You Lied
I loved you.
You lied.
You could have been by my side.
But you lied.
Oh how I tried.
Again you lied.
Many tears I cried.
All because you lied.

It is short but it says something to me. I feel this way often in my own marrige. I find myself questioning what to do next. And its worse when your friends are in the same boat you are. It is kinda like you know the boat is sinking but you have nothing to plug the hole with. So you just ride it down until there is no boat left to hang on to.

Unit 5

Ok so I signed up online to be an avon sales rep. I went to meet with a lady Wednesday to get my books and order forms. It sounds so easy to do. It also gives me time to keep up with four kids this summer and still have some extra money coming in. I found out things that I didn't know about Avon. They give back to the community by supporting breast cancer. So I totally understood when she told me that everything you sale that has to do with breast cancer goes toward breast cancer research and we recieve no commission from that. I am happy that money goes to research. It helps those in need and that is a wonderful thing. I know I will enjoy selling avon because I love avon stuff. They have great prices and their stuff works. Oh and did you know that they make sure that all of their products are not harmful. They have never had to recall a product. A little tip: Skin so soft is used around my house to keep the mosiquitos from biting. Well you can take some on a cotton ball and put it on the window screens and when you open your windows the bugs don't come in. Isn't that great? Oh and if anyone is interested in buying any thing I can have it shipped free of charge. You can e-mail me at mduncan2686@yahoo.com.

Unit 4- Payton

I am so sick of being used as a burp and snot rag. Everytime I turn around I either have a baby spiting up on me or a two year using my shirt and pants to wipe his nose. I can not stand it. They think that it is funny. Ugh!!! Grossssss!!!!! I guess thats what being a mother is all about. I hope that all the mothers enjoyed their mothers day sunday. I did! We went to church and the kids got to go down to the front and get a flower to take to their mom. Payton went and got me a flower and on his way back he held it up in the air that way everyone could see he got a flower for his mom. It was so funny! By the time he got it to me the flower fell off the stem as soon as it hit my hand. He wanted to go get another one the whole time the preacher was talking. He told me mommy I broke it another Please!! Little memories to be cherished! Yesterday he was riding a tricycle around the outside table and he stopped, kissed me, and said bye! I asked him where he was going and he said "to the store to get milk." He circled the table again and when he got back to me he said "here you go, your milk." He even gave me my change after he went back to the sore for chocolate to go with his milk. He comes up with the goofiest things.

Enjoying Life!!!!

Ok so my dad told the twins that he was taking them to Chucky Cheese in a few weeks! Oh Yay!!! They were so excited that they even asked if Payton was going too? I think we all about went into shock! As much as they fight, they asked if he could go too. I was so proud of them. Maybe they are learning to get along now. Lol I DOUBT IT! I was right the very next day they were fighting again. What did I tell you? Well I guess boys will be boys!!!

Today my little boy took his first steps! I was so excited but then I realized that when he really gets going, I'm not going to be able to stop. Lol! I will have one running north, one running south, one running east, and one going west. Oh my!! What will I do? I expected them to fight when we moved down here, they're all boys for petes sake, but WOW!!!! They fight like they have nothing better to do. Luke and Logan, the twins, do not want anything to do with my oldest boy Payton, because it has always been just the two of them together. It is just pure madness. They fight over the littlest things. If it's not toys, it's colors! Crap they would fight over a piece of torn paper if they had one. I finally decided that I'm just going to let them duke it out. Maybe if they beat each other up then they will realize that when one has something they can't have it too.

My life this week

I have recently moved into a mad house. I moved into my dads bringing my two kids and my husband with me. We have a total of eight people in a four bedroom house, my dad, my pregnant cousin, twin nephews, and my family. It gets extremely crazy around here. I know that we are doing a good thing, but I have more on my plate now than I have ever had before. It is a very big adjustment having to cook and clean for twice as many people. I have been trying different recipes as much as possible, so that they do not complain about having the same thing ovr and over. On top of it all, My cousin just so happened to find out that she has gestational diabetes, and now I have to make sure she eats right and tests her sugar everyday. If I have to I will put everyone on her diet because it is so much healthier. Lol they would really LOVE that! After finding this I have made the decision to do my paper on Gestational Diabetes and how it affects the baby. I thought that would make a good research paper. Not only would I be learning something new but she would as well. I may even due a little bit of experimenting myself. Maybe next week my motto would be Eat healthy, be healthy!
