Rant
I just need to rant real quick before I explode! So we have this thing where we wash our own dishes when we are finished eating. Well we try our best. But my mom.... Ugh... she doesn't always wash hers and blames us that we don't clean our dishes.... When they are hers. So effing frustrating because sometimes I'll be kind and just wash what's in the sink. I seriously want to pull my hair out and stop holding my tongue. Being grateful is slowly thinning. What makes it even worse is she won't listen when I try to explain. Ugggggghhhhhh

I was attacked
This morning really out me in a funk. My mom has been so mean lately and this morning topped it off. I just woke up my eyes were not focused so I'm squinting as if I'm looking up at the sun. My mom tells me something as I'm feeding my bird and I look at her and say OK. She attacks me and says you don't have to give me that ugly look. I tired to explain to her why my face is the way it is and she interiors me saying you could have at least said good morning. She was busy taking to my niece.....I seriously need to move away. I've literally over stayed my welcome and I can't take her attitude anymore. When they left on their trip this morning they didn't even say good bye.
I'm just so frustrated I'm going to try not to let her ruin my day

Been Way To Long
Long Time NO BLOGGING!
To be honest I have not been into blogging for quite some time. I guess you grow out of things. But I think I am glad to be back and document the things that have been going on in my life and my families life. Besides, it is always really sweet to look back at posts and remember things, or be shocked what you wrote about.
That being said I have a lot to update:
I have a 11 yr old son and a now 8 yr old daughter. They grew UP!
My son is in 6th Grade and he is attending Public School. Actually the IDEA Schools - their Judson Campus. I believe the last I wrote I was homeschooling him for 1st Grade???? We did homeschool for 1st - 4th grade but after our big MOVE last summer (2015), he wanted to try public school. He did well, but it was a bit to easy for him witch caused him to act out behavior wise. He has also been diagnosised with some anxiety disorder so that raises "Its" ugly head with bad behavior and poor discipline. Last year also ended on a sour note when some of the other 5th grade boys he was friends with stopped being friends and instead got aggressive with him. I found him being chased down the street to my house and the boys tackling him in our front yard. It was traumatic for me and for him. For several weeks the boys harassed him and myself when it was time to be picked up from school. It sadly continued into the summer, leaving my son paranoid to go outside the house.
This new school for 6th Grade we hope will help him feel safe, and challenged. It is still the beginning of a new school year so they are still getting all students on the same page. But they are an AP school and they work towards getting all students to attend college upon graduation. They are big on rules and schedules and organization. The hours are long! 7:30am - 4pm. It is across town so it takes a drive to get there, about 30-45 mins to get there.
My daughter just started 3rd grade this week. She is a the same school both kids attended last year. It is nice to have it so close to our house. We walk together every morning to get the free Breakfast offered. Breakfast is offered at 6:45am!!! And school starts at 7:00am. It is EARLY. but then she is home early, 2:45pm. She is liking her two teachers this year. And is happy that one of her BFF's is in her class with her again this year.
So every one in Texas does things differently then I have been use to. I have been here a year and I still feel out of place. I am grateful for the sunshine but I sometimes feel like it is only a temp stay here. It might be the house we are renting now, the fact that I don't feel like it is really home. Or that I can't seem to keep up with the way people drive here. Very aggressive and chaotic. Most don't follow the common rule of not passing on the right. And most people seem very impatient. Maybe that is because the city is huge and spread out, or the exhausting heat that melts your brain cells as you are driving.
I hope to sit down often and document the stuff that I have been doing this 2nd yr in Texas. The joys and the struggles that I go through daily. Again to be able to share with LemonDrop and to remind myself that this too shall pass. :) Stay tuned!

Another busy morning
Had another busy morning. It didn't seem like it would have been if you looked at the schedule. Not to mention Matthew Lawrence came in with his day. It's almost been a year since we have seen him. We were highly recommended last year when his dig bear needed surgery. He's a first celebrity I've actually met.
The day even got better when the husband took me away for in n out for lunch.
Church was so good. We took three oldest school shopping for a few things . I hate being where I live. I have no clue why but my parents have become kind of mean. I've never seen this side of them but my mom is surely showing who her favorite people are. She is so rude and snarky. I can't wait to move away. Your provably right mom once I move away I probably won't be calling everyday because the way you treat me.

Long happy day?
Today seemed like a long day. But I could actually say was genuinely happy. All day. Weird right? I guess I'm finally out of my depression. On my lunch break the husband and I went on a pokemon hunt. I was able to catch a handful of Pikachus. I can't wait until I'm able to evolve a raichu. I have been Trying this new snack that is so good and maybe healthy? It involves yogurt, honey, fruit and granola. Real easy I'll post a recipe soon. Tonight for dinner was taco night. Chicken tacos. So good. When the husband came back with a real nice treat... Ice cream sundae with chocolate sauce, strawberry and caramel. It was so so good. I am now ready to pass out! Good night world!Lemon D
Honeybee finds

Busy mondays
Such a busy morning at work. At first I drive up to the building scared as shit. There is a truck parked up front with a broken window then I notice the lights are on inside. To make matters worse I can't unlock the door. To my relief, it was our repair guy inside. So as I'm opening the rest of the clinic up my husband and my youngest girl stay with me. Well until other co workers start showing up. Everything was smooth until a lady with 6 health certificate show up and they have some health issues and need vaccines. That was no problem until a dog fight case shows up. I am exhausted. Ready to be home. This afternoon 6 beautiful husky mix puppies came in and totally brightened my Monday!

Mermaid watch
Today was a success. I didn't get as much as I would because little girl was grumpy and tired. But I just went through my pictures and I got a lot of good ones to play around with. The weather was yet again amazing. Barely crowded! The water was warmer and all I wanted to do was let my inner mermaid out!

Summer
I
am
Exhausted. This summer has been hell. Yes hell. Honey Bee I know you do better with sunshine but me? I am better at being in gloomy weather that consists of a hint of grey and moisture in the air. This summer has also been a challenging one. I use to pray for patience not thinking about God actually challenging me to build said patience. Let me start from the beginning.
I have become ungrateful little punk. I could no longer ride my bike due to unlivable heat...ok ok im over exaggerating but if you knew me you would understand. I was doing so good eating less and losing weight. So I had to go back to being driven to and from work. Earlier in the year we were told our air conditioner in our Mazda had to be fixed and it was going to cost about 1K. Great. Just what I needed to hear. My husband saw how miserable I was. When i'm hot i'm a crabby patty. So he went to an auto parts store and bought some magical thing that I don't know what it was called. But its only cost us 20 bucks and boom A/C is working! Things are looking up right? 5 minutes of happiness gone. As we are driving home from a family reunion the Mazda blew a rod..............................................................face palm. We had to scrap the car. Toms brothers girlfriend had a nice little Honda and sold it to us for 3k and let us make payments each month. A week later a screw comes loose and falls into the engine. God? are you their? I need you. I am drowning. It was hard borrowing cars and finding rides. My parents had developed some sort of attitude towards us. Making me feel as tho I have over stayed my welcome. Then one day my dad says he would like to help us find a car. Excited! we went to test drive cars and vans and suv's. I fell for the first van we drove. Unfortunately it did not drive smoothly. The next few had no comparison. Finally went to Honda. The guy was super aggressive and over confident. We wanted prices first but he said lets talk about that later lets fall in love with the car first. Hey Zach, bed idea. We first told him our price range and he made it sound like it was possible. So I fell....hard for a 2014 Hyundai empala. Dark grey, interior black leather, tinted windows and a moon roof....so we brought my dad over the next day. He had no interest in seeing the car he wanted numbers. Being the hard ass he is Zach became a bit nervous. Nothing he did was impressive, I promise. My dad told him what we can do but they couldn't give me what we wanted. They kept asking well what do you want. Really? we told you. You even wrote it down! and your still asking??? We had to walk away. Next day we my dad decided he didn't want to really help us anymore. Life was looking hopeless. No one seemed to understand this was stressful. I fell in and out of depression. So just to humor me my husband took me to another car place. Boom in love with a Toyota Prius 2013 hybrid. But I gave myself a pep talk not to get my hopes up. I had to go back to work anyways. To make this already long story shorter. We got the car. By ourselves. with payments we could afford.
Toms brother finally did it. He took the plunge after 5 tries with this woman. They finally tied the knot. I am so happy for them. Even tho rumors were saying she never wanted to meet me we met. So far shes been pleasant. We even went to the beach with them to play pokemon go. As August finally is getting on its way life seems a bit better. My weekends are busy and my car has A/C. I am as happy as this summer will let me
