Good Morning :)
I know, I have been bad. I should have updated earlier but I seem to always be so busy. I promise that I will try and get here more often.
Sarah is out of the hospital and seems to be doing much much better. Her place of employment called her once again and offered her another job. She is to start on the 5th of February but is looking for another job in the meantime. I don't think she needs to go back to a job that has laid her off 3 times. Where is the stability there? She says that she needs a job and I agree with her. I cannot continue to pay her bills and mine as well but I just hate the thought of her going back to that place to work again. I think that the medication she is on is helping her immensely. She is the happy, playful girl again. I am just really really scared that she will go back to that place again and this time not want to tell us about it for fear that she will go back in the hospital. I don't know, maybe I am just babbling here, maybe it won't happen and everything will go back to normal. Not that normal was really good, she could be such a bit....well, she could be not so nice of a person sometimes and you all know me....Miss Sunshine, so I don't have any idea where she could have gotten that from.:)
The rest of the family is doing great. We will have David's kids this weekend, I am sure that they will tell us that they do not feel good and want to stay with their mom (because that is what they have done the last 4 or 5 times we have gone to pick them up) and we will do what we always do, tell them they will be fine and to get into the car. They are always fine once they are in the car and away from their mother but I think that initially they do not want to come to our house because we have rules that must be followed, mom does not. We do not allow sitting on your butt playing games (playstation, gamecube etc.) all day or sitting on your butt watching TV all day either. This is just not acceptable at our house. David's son is 13 years old and weighs about 240 lbs. He is a very big boy and although his mother keeps telling us that he is on a diet, we find out that they go out to McDonalds or some other fast food restaurant at least 3 or 4 times a week (she does not like to cook) and he is eating whatever he wants on the menu. Not you have to imagine, I have been in this family for almost 6 years and I have never had a meal with David's son that he has not asked for seconds or thirds. We do not keep him on a diet, we don't think that is fair (Amanda is 10 and she is a skinny little girl) We do however watch his portions on his food and we strictly don't let them drink soda unless it is a special occasion. Anyway, I will tell you more about that some other time. My point was going to be that we are finally going to be able to do a family portrait this weekend.
This is getting way long winded. Everyone, please have a great day and thanks for coming to my site, reading , commenting and showing your love. I love you all too.

I am really glad to hear that your daughter is feeling better, I will keep her in my prayers.
The family picture thing sounds nice, I have been bugging K for 3 years to get our pictures taken. I think I might just schedule it and force him to go!
I'm so glad to hear things are going better.
ditto the above, Karin! Stay well and hope we hear from you soon!
Thanks for the update!!
That weight issue is so tough. It seems to be the NORM now with kids. Sad because as we all know the older you get the harder it is to lose!! I am glad you are thinking about this topic.
Family portrait!! That is GREAT!
I am so glad to hear from you. Isn't it wonderful when our kids are happy and feeling good?
I hope it continues for you and your family.
Glad to hear that your daughter is doing much better. It sounds like she is extremely lucky to have the support that she has in her parents.
I hope you are doing OK too.
My thoughts are with you and your family. (((((HUGS)))))
