OUR ANNIVERSARY

Today is our anniversary. The big 7 years married. Daniel, I Love You! Way more than you know, Way more than I could ever show. You came into my life and it changed me forever. I'm so thankful God brought us together. Just want you to know that I Love You and I will forever. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABY!

ME AND MATT

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE

One Holiday to the next.

Last night after we ate again. We started cleaning out the garage, to get rid of some things. We ended up getting rid of half of the garage. Now we have so much room it's weird. We can actually walk around. Daniel took one load to the salvation army. I hate to do that. Only because they sell it. I wish I knew a place to take things, that were given away for free, to people who needed it. We had a entertainment center, a bed, clothes and much more. Then we started pulling out all of the Christmas decorations. We don't have a lot of stuff, but it's enough for us. It's exciting switching from one holiday and getting ready for the next. Now that we have the tree up, the boys are so excited for Christmas to be here. Tonight we are having turkey dumplings. I can't hardly wait. They are so good. They taste way better than chicken and dumplings. We invited Jennifer and Eugene up to eat and maybe play some cards or watch a movie.

When I saw this I thought of Rannie, Daniel, and Matt (copy&paste)

This look's as if it will be hilarious!

Thanksgiving

It's all about giving Thanks. Be thankful for everything in your life. I am. All the time, not just on this day, everyday. I am so Thankful for my life, my husband, and my boys. I am Thankful for what we have. I am Thankful for our life together, our health, and that we have each other. I Love my family very much and I'm Thankful their my family. I'm Thankful I have a job. I am Thankful that I have a car (to get to work). I am Thankful that Daniel has a job. I'm just Thankful for everything. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I Love You All!!

The Reunion

Saturday went surprisingly well. I saw Jeff, Heaven, Tim, (his son,) Jayden, Boone, and Cambria. These I don't see, like I do the others. When we first arrived I was a bit nervous not knowing how things would go. I talked to everyone. And there for a minute, It seemed like we had never parted. Just like in the movie Soul Food, The dinner always brought everyone back together, just as they always were. When I stepped outside Jeff was out there and he asked for a hug. I was taken back, because this family shows no emotion, compassion, or love toward one another. I will say I hadn't realized how much I missed everyone. Sometimes I do sit back and wish everything was back to the way it used to be when we were growing up. Back then I think we were there for each other, and stood by one another. We just all fell apart. My kids would not stop talking about everyone, when we left. They said Those 2 guys are our uncle (Jeff & Tim). I said yes they are. It made me feel like crap to realize my kids do not even know their family. But what can you say or do? You can't go back in time and make things right. No one wants to call anyone to make amends or to say they are sorry. That would be too much to ask from this family. Pride is way more important to us than our family. RIGHT? So where do we go from here? Do we just sit here and wait for the next holiday, funeral, sickness, or do we do something now? I know you are reading this thinking she will not be the one to make the first move, and you're probably right. But I'm willing to if anyone else is up to it. I could go on but I'll let it lie there.

Family Gathering

Tomorrow we will be having a family gathering. I'm a little worried on how things will go. Only because some of the family I haven't saw or spoke to in 5 or 6 years. Hope everything goes well. I don't know if I feel like it will be a good thing or not. Or if some will use this time for other reasons than just spending time with each other. I hope not. I have my reasons that I haven't spoke to alot of people. But I know that I can be civil. Mom held this family together, without her, what will it take to hold this family together now? Or is there anything that could. Maybe one day we will be a family again. I could go on for days, but I won't. I've rambled long enough. Let's hope tomorrow goes well.

Another Day, Another Lost Dollar

Monday while I was at work, I received a phone call from the school nurse. She said Keaton was running a temp. So I had to leave work and go pick him up. Got him home and gave him Motrin and all seemed well. Yesterday morning woke up and he had these red blotches all over his body. I went into panic mode, Thinking it was Chicken pox or measles or something of that nature. Well anyways since I had left work around 2:00 on Monday, Daniel had to take off work Tuesday and take him to the doctor. The doc said Keaton had the worse case of strep throat, he had ever seen. So bad that it was causing the infection to come out to his skin. All over him. Matt came up last night to watch him today(wed.) but was called into work. That's O.K. Matt please do not sweat it, you tried and that's all that matters. Thank you for trying and everything that you do for us. I know if you could have watched him, You would have. Don't worry shit happens. So therefore Daniel is at work today and I'm at home. Daniel is going to ask his boss if he can only work a half day so I can go into work. So hopefully once a couple of cans of LYSOL is used everything will be fine. This is another one of those days in the Bice family household!!

Doing Nothing

This weekend has went by so fast. Friday night we went to Jennifer's to help with hanging pictures and etc. Saturday we sat at home most of the day. Matt came up Saturday afternoon and stayed the night. Saturday night Matt made a chicken soup in the crock pot and it was ready Sunday around noon. If I didn't know any better I would think that we taught that boy something. Because man that soup was good. (Miranda, I told him that he would have to come and cook it for you and Micheal.) Then tonight Daniel's sister and her husband came to visit. It went pretty good. She brought Bailey's B-Day present. A wrestling ring. It took them about 30 minutes to break it. And for the sister the baby is due around Jan 15th and she is pretty big now. Hopefully everything with her and the baby goes well. The baby's name will be Faryn (girl).

Teachers (Who are they really)??

Yesterday while Bailey was at school playing on the playground, He fell and hurt his knee. He told the teacher that was supervising the children(not his teacher) that he was injured. She told him to wait and tell his own teacher when they go in. He tells his teacher; I fell on my knee cap and I can't hardly walk cause it hurts so bad. Her response was; There's nothing that I can do for you, Now go sit down. What the hell is wrong with this picture? You send your kids to public school and think they are safe and they are well took care of. But do we really know what goes on???? No, no we don't. I am so pissed off right now that I can't even think straight. Just the thought that my child was asking for help and no one was there to help him. He said; I was shocked when my teacher wouldn't help me, she's helped me with everything else. Which I don't expect a phone call if my son picks his nose at school, but I would like to receive one if he is sick or hurt. I am at a loss for words, schools now days are not like schools when I was young. It's as if they only care about their paycheck and not the children. I'm not saying all teachers, because there are good ones, but not all. And if your child doesn't act like the other children then they're add/adhd. Your child is not aloud to be different or have his own personality. That would be considered not a normal child. What the hell is wrong with the world today. Not every kid is the same face it people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Project!

Saturday we went and picked up Bailey and Keaton's new car! I know your probably thinking, What??? Me and Daniel thought that if we bought the kids a car, They would have something of their own, that they could work on and learn about cars early in life. Well we will see how it turns out. Because there will be alot of work. Keaton is the one who doesn't like to work, but they both seem to be excited and ready to get started. Hopefully they will follow through with it. About the car; It's a 1966 Volkwagon Bug. I'm excited for them. If we can get this fixed before their driving age this will be the car they learn to drive in. It has to be totally stripped and rebuilt. We will be starting on this in the next couple of weeks. After garage is cleaned out to make room. So if anyone has info on cars, please call us, more than likely we'll need it.

Congrats!!!

Jennifer and Eugene just bought their first house. Congrats to them. We hope they like it, and make special memories in their new house. Hope all goes well!!

It's Been A Little Minute!

I Haven't wrote in awhile because it's been work, work, and more work. Some days going in at seven and not getting out of there until seven p.m. This week has been very hectic. We had one week to prep and build 80 lights. I think in the process I hurt my shoulder, arm, and my little ol pinky finger. Well I guess to make a dollar you have to sacrifice something. Gotta go little ol pinky starting to hurt a bit. Talk to ya soon.
