We found out yesterday that cohen is on the autistic spectrum. he has PDD-NOS i dont knwo much about it yet so we will all learn together i guess. COhen is in a school for 4 hours a day m-f which has helped his speech alot. he is getting so big. and for some reson dosnt deem to get the importace of naps LOL. Ken has a perment job with DEP and we are uber excited about that. well thats all for now ill write when i have mroe time

Cohen is Turning 2

SO tuesday is Cohens 2end b-day on this earth. I sometimes think to myself where did my baby go? He is getting so big. He has started to talk up a storm. He now can say No, Mine, Bye bye, nite nite, bubbles, cheese, chips (which sounds a whole lot like cheese), Car, bath,dada, mama, wow, and uh oh LOL He can even put soem together like no mine. or no bye bye or no nite nite. LOL he likes no. He is so smart. and loves his daddy. Ken finally got a temporay job. he is now working as a receptionist at his sisters work. its only suppose to be for a month. but that should get us to finacial aid which should get us till they start hiring for session up at the capital. ANd then he will be employed tilla t least may again. Were having a b-day party for cohen tommarow and our looking fowared to having a blast. We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends. COhen is going to get a tons of things that he needs and wants. We got him a play kitchen and a play work bench. its been so hard not to get it out before the party. Its in our shed waiting to be put together. which we will probally take on wither tonight or tommarow while the boys are asleep. Liam is getting extremly big. He is already 24 pounds and hes only 9 months old. HEs going for a test on monday to see if they can determin why hes so gasy/consapated all the time. Hes so fussy its like he has colic. If they dont find anything then its off the a GI specialist. We need some kind of answer. He has cried most nights for hours like hes in pain and we dont know what do. So all keep him in your prayers. I am extremy nervous about the test is called a berium ennama test. We will go monday and see. my mother is coming with me. well thats all for now cohens havign a tantrum behind me so i guess i should see why.

Baby feaver

Everyone i know is just finding out there preggers or are in the middle of there pregency or a small few are just having little ones. It makes me want another one. but it seems that its not in the cards for awhile. this is becasue of two reasons. 1. no money which isnt really an excusse since i belive that you shouldnt wait till you can affored a child (face it then you would never have kids) but its a whole nother situation when your family has no income at all. Yep ken still hasnt found a job. and 2. becasue of my health. Nothign serously is wrong with me but we are looking into a thyroid problem and i really need to louse some weight before we try for number. And of course there are so many other reasons. But i still feel like im not complete. I mean i have a great husband and two fantastic sons. both of which i adore. but im not complete. there are still children of mine in heaven waiting to recive a body. and are aching to be thought. COhen had a bad dream tonight me and ken were just about to turn out the light when he began to cry. so i went and got him and put himin bed with us and let him watch caiule which im sure i mispelled. But anyway he kept givign the cat kisses then he would cuddle up with me then daddy then back to the cat. I just put him back in bed an figures i would wait to make sure he was ok. Children are such precisous gifts from heavely father. They ARE the secreat to life

Children are great!!!

Well im home for the first time alone with the children in awhile. Ken hasnt had a job for about a month now. SO hes been home 24/7. I love having him here. but i think i forgot how great the kids are when its just us. Ken loves to play with cohen and he loves to play with liam but he sometimes gets them so rawled up that they arnt the darling children they are when its just us. cohen for istance went into the kitchen and wanted a bag of fruite we had in the fridge. and he is carying it around and eatig out of it like its a bag of candy. (so cute) and liam is in his walked laughing at cohen. Liam idalizes his brother. he wants to do everythign cohen does. I love my kids there great and I am remined everyday that this is short lived. one day they wont be little anymore and they want me incacent.

Davids birthday

Well today is davids b-day. Which wouldnt be a big deal on any other year cause they lived on the other side of the USA. But this year guess who will be in town. Yep you guessed it him and his family. And we are the ones throwing him a b-day party. Yippe. Look im all for party. I love them. but this is just a bad weekedn for me. Im not feeling completly up to my self. im sick to my stomice and just plain ickey. But none the less im going to clean.bake, and decarate to the best of my ability cause I am the housewife and women of this here house and it will be the best b-day party that he has ever had!!!!!!!! I feel a little threatened by his wife so i always feel i have to do the very best i can which in hopes is better then. her LOL. I knwo its not a compition but she is great. she can cook, clean with the best of housewives, do crafts, she even homemakes there christmas cards now granted she is an art majore. but still gezze. She plays the trumpt. and is 8 months preggers and taking a cross country trip to florida. who wouldnt be imtemadated???

Upcoming weekend and much more

Ok so yesterday ways so not a good day for the fish family. Yesterday i came home to find a notice on my door from our landlord saying we had a week to get rid of the dog. Or we would be evicted. so I had to find a new home for my adorable dog. Im rather sad and so is the rest of the family. Then after having to leave and come back again i came home to a uhal truck and three men drinking beer on my porch!!!!! I kept the kids in the car and got out to see what was going on. APrrerntly it was the presiouse renter wanting to get his stuff from the shed in the back yard. But it wasnt there so they wanted to know what i had done with it. Well nothing was in there when we moved in and i told him this and he left. needless to say he came back with the police and it just turned out to be an all out bad day. Everything had been cleared up and we arent in any trouble. Anyway today has been much nicer and calmer. Ken came home for lunch to bring me my mothers day present. Which is a protable dishwasher!!!! And the kids just went down for a nap. This weekend is the tatem family reunion. Which is being held in Panama CIty. We leave tommarow sometime and will be back sunday sometime. Im kinda looking fowared to it and kinda not. But we will see how it all goes. Its always stressful to travel with two kids. Im really tired and want to just relax by the beach. tommarow i have to pack the car up and make sure the cats are set. Next week ken will be job hunting. tommarow is his last day at the senate. which is sad. were hoping everything will work out and he will get a good job that allows him to be with us his family. Also Kens mom sent us a cute card saying happy anniversery I was confused but then realized that our two years since we got sealed is just around the corner. May 18 to be exact. Its so wired that two years can come and go. Ive been a member for over 3 years ken and i are coming up on our two year marrige annerserity and we got sealed two years ago. We have two buituful children. One in which is about to turn 2. The other almost 7 months. Life flys by and we are just luckey to be in for the ride

The weekend

SO this weekend has been fantastic. Friday night we went to sonic and then to lake ella. Then saturday we ran errans got to see our old neighbers. sold some stuff we didnt need. and then had our annual sinco da mayo party. Wehich was alot of fun. We always have fake tequela shots complete with the worm (genger ale with gummy worms) and fake margaritas (genger ale and lime sherbert) We had tacos, and of course the annual pinata. Which was a blast to break open. Then we played cranium and just talked. Then sunday we went to the dog park and played and just had a relaxing afternoon. today i convinsed ken to play hookie and we got all the stuff we needed to do around the house done well most of it. I love my husband. He is really great. THe kids aer in a cranky mood today. Not so much liam as cohen is though i think he might just be off his normal schedule. But over all the weekend was splinded

Session

Well for all of you who are really into polictics you probally know that today is the last day of session. Which means they are going hardcore all day. While I am not really into polictics. actully i despise politicians. This affects me greatly. your probally wondering why. Just turn off the TV!!!! But you see ken works for the florida senate. So he is not allowed to leave untill they finish which no later then midnight. But this sucks for me. In the past years i have just went up to the capital and hung out/watched/goofed off with all the other people. Its a known fact that there is more alchole at the capital on the last day of session then in most bars. LOL So there are a lot of drunk senators (kinda scary hu?) which is really funny to watch. But this year I wont be able to go. I have the children to think about. COhen probally wouldnt sit still. and liam would be very unhappy with it to. Also im sure noone really wants to have two rugrats runnign around. Also cohen could get hurt. There is so many people running around and they do not look where they are going. (when i was pregnent with cohen I almost got ran over) Ken says i shoudl come up there but i dont know if im going to. I love the last day of session i always have so much fun. and its an adrilian rush to have that many people crawling around. I just want to see my hubby. I miss him so much and am sooo happy its friday!!!!

Errrrr

Ok im trying really really ahrd not to get mad. But its really ahrd. Ok so As you all know I was watching two girls one is 4 the other 2. well needless to say thery were ill behaved. I donot belive in bad children. I belive in mis guided children but not bad. But these two. Anyway last thursday they were picked up and then about 15 mins after they left i recived an e-mail that i would no longer be watching the girls. Which is fine and dandy with me. I was tired if having to replace things because they would get mad and destroy my stuff. anyway moving on. I was told that she would drop off my mney on the first on her way to work. Ok well this mornign came and went so I e-mailded her and wiated she responded with a simple my husband will drop it off sometime this morning. If i had brought it i would have been late. Ok i understood that. So i waited 11 am came. I called her husband to see what time he was going to be here. He said i will be there no later then noon. Ok i understood that. noon came and went. Now he calls and says I will be there at 1 ok now its 1:02. And still no check. Now i know its hard to get out of the house with two kids. I have two kids. And one of mine dosnt walk. so im no stranger to being late. but comeon I have to get the check in the bank befor two other wise when my landlord cashes our rent check it will bounce, I told them this was payingmy rent. grrrrr. I really hope they get here soon other wise im in a lot of trouble. Blaaa. I hate having to relie on other people. This is why im not all that upset with them leaving. This is how it has been from the begging they have always been late, never paying me what we agree on and have even boushed a check on me. So im really not all that upset

Baby feaver

Gosh it seems everyone is haveing babys. and now i really want a little baby. I know its crazy I have a toddler and a 6 month old and im already wanting another baby. But theres just something about having that child growing inside of you. The first tiem you feel them move or when you find out your pregnent. Its all so amazing and I love it all. I complain about the pain and twared the end your ready for it to be over but you love it. I think when liam turns 1 ill start working on ken. Maybe sooner. Im holding off as long as posble. I just want a baby so much. We got a dog last weekend. his name is satchel and he is a chiwawa mix. Hes awsome. I love my husband he does the cutest things sometimes. I think Liam and cohen are sick but I cant tell. they have a cough but thats all. no feaver or anythign. its probally just allergies. I cant wait till this weekend. I really want to spend time with ken. This is the last week of session. we dont know whats going to happen after session. but we can only hope the lord will be with us every step of the way.

Watch what you wish for

Well I will no longer be watching the girls. Apperently Feona isnt happy. SO now im out of a job and have no way of paying rent. even if I get paid for what ive done already i will be about 100 short on rent this month.all because feonas not happy go figure.

Mornign times

Well i think mornings are by far the hardest. Its hard to get up. its hard to wake up. This morning was especially hard. Liam didnt sleep well last night. and now the girls are here. I guess i had high hopes they wouldnt come today. LOL I know im a dreamer. But now there here. and i feel like im sad. I wanted another day without them. and its not starting off very well. Rosys crying cause i wouldnt let her bring a car inside. Cohens sick and im getting sick. Kens havign anxziety problems. and well life is just grand. Im really tired and i wish the day were already over. Blaaaaa. Enough complaining. I need to really start counting my blessing. And stop complaining. Things arnt to bad. I know they can be worse and well life goes on even if you have a bad day.

New home, new outlook

Ok so all that are keeping up We moved into a new place about a month ago. Its been a long prosses but were just starting to get back into the way of life. We now live on the tennesse strip and if your from tallahassee you know what im talking about. Cohen loves the new place theres more room and when he runs (which now he can) it makes a pitter patter noise. LOL We have hard wood floors throught out the house. Also they are knocking down a hotel across the street so cohen sits in the window and watchs the action all say. Liam is finally in his crib and is sharing a room with cohen. It has worked out pretty nicely. They dont wake up each other like it hought they would. Im not fully back in my zone yet but on my way. And things seem to be going well. We will see how all goes in the long run

it happened

Ok so its happened... we have been dreading this for weeks now.... crossing our fingures it wouldnt happen and then sunndly out of the blue it happened yesterday.... I went and put cohen down for his normal nap time yesterday shut the door. and went about my normal daily activitys. then there he was out of thin air.. "didnt i just put you to bed pumpkin?" I ask him. so i scoop him up and put him back in bed... i shut the door and check it twice to make sure its shut this time and go back to my daily activities. and then it happens again one min hes in his room next hes standing there with that cockeyed grin. so now im worried. do we have a knom whos opening the door. or is it him so this time i scoop him up put him in bed shut the door tight and wait... its quite.. then it comes the faint sound of a little hand trying to turn the knob.. a few failed attempts and then the knob turns.. (serously like in the movies all slow mow) and out pops his little blonde head smiling all proud of himself that he now knows how to open the door.. and you see the light bulb go off. "I dont have to stay in my room if I dont want too" This is the moment all parents dread.. Up unitll now all we had to do was shut the door and we knew he was in a safe place. it also is just one more step to not being my little boy anymore. I know i have a long time. but still hes growing so fast. I swear it was just yesterday he learned to sit up...anyway just had to write this down.. cause yea life as we know it has just changed

Busy day

SO today has been nothng but running but im finally done. I went all over the place today and am finally home and sitting at the computer enjoying the compleste quite. Ive been thinking a lot of my past today. Im not sure why the past always sneaks up on me when im not doing anything but it does. The days before i was married and before i had kids. they were so different then my days now. when i was single I did what i wanted when i wanted. i mean i love my life now but its amazing hoe things change so much

Doctors office

Ok so I sat in the dr office for 2 hours for them to tell me to try him on fourmula and if he still has diarrea. tommarow morning then to bring him back. Errrrrrrr That makes me sooo mad.. there is ovesoly something wrong with him. anywho hes having his first real bottel he seems happy.... Its easy for the dr to say just try this and if it dosnt workt hen come back tommarow. there going to be there it dosnt matter if we have other things to do or if we have other children to find care for.. errrrrr this really erks me.on another note. cohen had a blast with grandma. which is great... well better get to dinner and dishes
