Life

Just when you think life couldn't get any worse it does... It always seem when you try harder then you ever have tried things just get worse and worse. The past week has been terrible for us. We have been fighting with a pesty bug in the house. It was here at the apartments before we moved in. To come to find out that they loved attaching Michael and Seth.. Those terrible bugs aren't fun to mess with. It has caused us to get rid of the boys beds along with our beds. We have been sleeping in the living room. The boys on the couch and Madysun, Mike and I on the air mattress. It really hasn't been fun at all. It's so stressful to everyone. I was hoping it would bring us stronger has a family. But it seems that doesn't work. They have come in to spray the house to hopefully get rid of these things. They come back in two weeks to spray a second time. HOPEFULLY it does the job. If not then a third times a charm if ya ask me. It's been a mess. Only to top it all off that now we have to buy two new kids beds and a bed for ourselves.

Not only that we are having MAJOR car problems... Yes your right it's like a never ending thing in our neck of the woods. The headlights and dome lights keep flickering. It's terrible. We don't have the money to get it fixed nor try to get a new car. If it's not one thing it's the other. It's just amazing what happends when your not living right for God.

I sure hope one day things will get better for us. I know that it will we just have to give it time. If it wasn't for family helping us out I don't know what we would do. It's terrible how things can happen to good people. I sure hope that everyone will pray for us. I know that prayers does work. It's just a matter of time.. Thanks for listening to me blog.. I apprecaite everyone reading this and leaving some kind of encouraging words. Love to all.

Friday evening

It's been such a busy week. I have forgotten to write anything new on here. We have been staying inside due to the heat. It's been warm around here. Other then that we have just been playing, napping and watching movies. Mike is working 11am to 11pm this week. So it's going to be nice overtime. Which will come in handy we need to get the car fixed and pay couple bills. I am still selling Tupperware so look at my site:) www.my.tupperware.com/amwatson

I hope everyone has a great weekend. I am hoping to see if dad thinks we can so swimming for the first time this summer. That will be a lot of fun if we can. I do wish it would rain and cool off a little bit. Well the boys are mad at Mady because she is turning off the TV so better go take care of that. More news later. Love to all.

No Matter What..........................

No matter what don't give up! God is always going to be there for you.. The past couple of weeks it's been really hard on Mike and I.. I just wanted to give up my marraige and say forget about it. I wanted to just end my marraige forever, I had every intention to do so.. I hurt many of people's feelings. I hurt Mike's the most. I let the devil get me down and just push me in the dirt. I said horrible things to Michael, I hurt my kids by telling them Daddy wasn't coming back. It was horrible. But then I realized EVERYONE goes through problems, EVERYONE has money issues. You just have to stay strong and let God guide you through them. No matter what.. The devil is going to knock you down. You have to get right back up and love the Lord even more and say okay Devil your not doing this to me again.

So I want to say Michael I am so sorry for hurting your feelings the way that I have. I truly am so sorry. And God I never ment to turn my back on you. You have made me such a strong person and I just gave up on you, I gave up on church and everything. I know that's not what you wanted me to do.

I know for a fact the Devil is out to get us.. We got up Sunday morning and come to find out that we had a flat tire. The same tire we just got a new one and the seal isn't sealed very good. So we called someone from church and they came to get us Sunday morning. Sis. Edie's husband and Michael pumped the tire back up and put some water on the tire to see what was wrong. Sure enough it was the seal. So Mike hammered it back so it wouldn't leak. Hopefully that worked! So far so good. So we got 20.00 and put that in gas. More then a half tank Thank You Jesus. Because we have a lot of running to do in Richmond this week. And Sunday night our friend Laura always takes us to church (saves on gas. Thanks Laura) So we had a great church service. Lots of praying and singing. God is Good!

Back to the busy thing of Life with the kids now... Seth and Chris have been seeing their real dad. (Not such a great thing) But it's something that we all have to get used to. I have to get used to it myself because i'd rather them not go. But you know court orders stink. Madysun is growing up so fast. Finally walking by herself, talking and screaming all the time. She is such a joy. The boys are wonderful too.

Mike is working second now at Transilwrap.. And lots of overtime this week :) THANK YOU JESUS! We need it! I am selling Tupperware.. Every need anything PLEASE let me know. I have my own website you can look at and buy things and it gets shipped right to you! Other then that we are serving the Lord and cherishing every minute with eachother. Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their summer. School starts back up soon! THANK YOU!!! I am excited! God Bless more news tomorrow:)

Love to all!

Bad Saturday.

This last Saturday we had t-ball of course... Well the night before we had bad weather with tornadoe warnings and it was a big mess. We all headed over to my grandma penny's house and just hung out there until the storms were over. Nothing major happend which we thank God for. So we didn't get to bed until around 2am and then back up for a tball game by 11am. It wasn't fun trust me and we were all so very tired. Seth played the whole game though, didn't have one bit of a problem.. Christopher on the other hand well look at this picture see what you think....

So needless to say that is Chris asleep in the grass during his t-ball game on Saturday.. It was so cute yet I felt bad for him because I felt like I shouldn't have made him get ready for ball and should have just stayed home with him. I just don't think he has good enough sleep with the tornadoe stuff going on that night and it was horrible. But on the other hand Madysun was looking her best for the day.. She was so excited about being at the boys game. Take a look at some pictures.

And then of course we have Seth. Which he totally LOVES t-ball, he can hit the ball without the tee when he knows to watch the ball hit the bat. But other then that he loves the sport and he can't wait until the next game and practice we have. This month is the last month for games then we are finished for the season and it will be boring after that to try to keep the kids happy. But it will all work out.

Preschool End Of the Year.

Well Wednesday was the last day for the boys going to preschool. I know I haven't been online much to leave anything been real busy with moving, and trying to get things organized in the house. I love the new place yes it's smaller but it's better. Less rent Thank God... Anyways. Here are a few pictures of the kids and also a video of the teacher singing to the kids. She is just a wonderful teacher.. She is amazing with the kids. I am so proud that she is the kids teacher.

Sunday Night

This is a picture of a birds nest that was in the dug out. Isn't it amazing what God does?

Hello everyone. I have plenty of t-ball pictures of the boys from Saturday. They both did really good. I am one proud mother. Seth hit without the tee once. It was wonderful I was so thrilled he could do that. I knew he could. Chris hit wonderful we just need to get him to run faster. He has such short legs but he does real well for a 3 year old. Chris also caught the ball and tried to tag out the runner it was so cute. All and All it was a wonderful game.

Today is Mother's Day of course. I had a wonderful day. I went to church with my mom, grandma and Aunt Debbie came. Then everyoen but Grandma went to Richmond for some grocery shopping and then we went back and ate lunch at my Grandma's house. It was fun. Then I came home and the house was cleaned up the dishes were done and the kids made me a card. I will take a picture tomorrow and show you all. It was so nice of them. They are all asleep as we speak and Mike is relaxing as he goes to third tonight. He isn't thrilled but it's money and a little more pay now.

We are definatly moving by the end of this month. We are excited, yet the place is smaller. But a lot cheaper and with me not working right now it's worth the move. We just have to down size a lot so that means I can have a garage sale and make extra money. Which I plan on doing when we have the town wide garage sale June 7th I believe. I need to go spend time with my hubby as he leaves around 10:00pm tonight to go to work by 11pm. The car is still acting up so please pray. Here are a few pictures to cheer everyone up. Love to all and have a wonderful week!

Thursday Rainy Morning....

Good Thursday Morning everyone. We did not have a ball game on Saturday if you were all wondering. When we got there it decided to start raining and hailing outside. It was nasty. Then we were supposed to have ball practice on Wednesday (yesterday) and it got rained out as well. So we are hoping for Saturday the weather will be nice at 10am and the boys will be able to play. BUT it's opening day here in Fountain City that day so we are wondering how we going to get out of town because of the parade they have. My little sister Rylee is playing again this year. So will have pictures of that probably this weekend or so. I don't have any pictures of the kids so will have some hopfully Saturday.

Our car has been acting up. YUCK. It's no fun having one care that isn't big enough anyways and it acting up to where we aren't sure what is wrong with it. We do know it's probably the battery. So it's been a wonderful week.

We are trying to move to a cheaper place in Fountain City. Rent here is just to much especially with just Mike working. I am still looking for a job. I have applied at Meijer I just need to get in there and check on my application, I also am turning in my application tomorrow night at the Mini Mart here in town. So keep praying for us. The place is smaller but with the price of gas now and trying to survive at 550 here for rent that's just about 2 weeks of pay. And now we don't get food stamps anymore so yeah. Any help we can get it good. Stinks when we don't get any help they think we make enough money. So now we are hoping a praying we get a cheaper place. So pray for us.

Other then that not a whole lot else is going on. The kids last day of school is coming up May 27th I belive or 28th. They have a little graduation but the boys get to go to preschool next year and then Seth will go to kindergarden the next. It's crazy. They grow up way to fast.

Love to all and God Bless.

Husband on Fire Run thought to blog...........

Good Evening Everyone. Long day today, it was busy and now even more busy..... Mike is gone to a fire run and the boys and I are sitting here watching tv. Well I am blogging. lol.. Madysun just layed down. She is tired. Not sure when Mike will be back said it is a big house fire. So who knows. Let's just keep them in our prayers. Had a busy day, went to town with my Aunt today and got a few things, then came back home and by that time Mike was gonna be home so the house was a little messy. Not good. Tomorrow is tball game I am excited. I hope the rain waits out until after the games. I want to see my boys play. We bought them a helmet today. I will make sure to take many pictures. Other then that things are good. Just been busy like always. Can't wait until it warms up and doesn't rain. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Will post picture tomorrow or Sunday. Love to al.

New Month

Man how April went by, it's fun that summer is almost here. First t-ball game is Saturday if the rain will hold off. Seth and Chris are really into ball. They do such a good job for it being their first year. Watching little Chris play is awesome. I will take much needed pictures of them when we have our first game. They are excited and can't wait until practice again. It is going to be so fun watching them play at their game. Let's just hope that they don't get upset when they get out. I sure hope it doesn't bother then so bad.

Madysun is still growing fast. She took her first couple of steps lastnight. It was amazing. She tries to fall into your arms it's so funny. But yet so cute.

Michael is still working and enjoying his full time job. Can't believe that on Memorial Day he will have the day off to be with us and also get paid for it. It's amazing what God does for us. He is a awesome God. I am not sure yet about getting a job. I might try to sell things on E-bay to make extra money of the boys clothes and Madys. So if you ever see anything you want just bid on it :)

I just got back from getting bags full of clothes for Michael's kids. I sure hope they like them. I need to go every Thursday because they clothes they have there is awesome. It's amazing what a community will help out with people in need and don't have much money to get new things. The clothes there are awesome, I got pants and some shirts for them. Going next Thursday to hope that I can get summer clothes. I am sure they will be happy. I also got Michael and shirt and a new pair of shoes I hope he can wear. They are his size and I am hoping. They had so many awesome things there it's amazing.

No new pictures really, haven't had time to charge the batteries. I am trying to clean the house up and make sure it looks good before Michael gets home. But here are a few pictures I hope you will enjoy them. Leave some comments to let me know what you all think of this awesome blog site that I am doing for family.

I wanted to say Hi to my Grandma and Grandpa in Flordia and to my Aunt and Uncle. I hope you are enjoying the wonderful weather there. I am so jealous I am ready to move down there to be with you guys:) Wouldn't that be awesome. I just wish. God bless and Love you guys with all my heart.

BLEACHING!

Well today I am bleaching my house to get rid of bugs.. I am just not a bug person and when I saw Mady had another bug in her hair lastnight I was like I am going to bleach bleach and bleach. This bug is nasty. The boys hair is shaved bold. And Mady's well it's the same just keeping a eye on it. I sprayed the house again yesterday after the kids left, and then sprayed lastnight with Lice stuff my dad bought us. I figured I will fight this bug. I am not going to let my kids get it again. This is crazy. We told Michael's ex wife Julie and she said I hate that school and acted like she didn't care. She was going to call the doctor so she can get medicine for it and treat it. I hope she washes her sheets like i did and everything else. Michael said this stuff has gone on way to long with the kids. (His Kids) they always have Lice. I said well we won't get it back. We will fight this bug. The kids seemed upset when they found out they had it again. They weren't very happy about it. I emailed the teacher for the boys about it. Haven't heard back and I really don't think they have it again. So I shaved their heads off because of it. I don't have it either still thank the good Lord. Michael checks my hair every night. I am probably just upset and worried about it I need to just stop venting huh.

Everything else is going good here at the house. Michael and I are making it one day at a time. We really are hoping a mirical happends because we need a van. But we can't afford 1,500 for a used van right now. There is one for sale across the street from us but there is NO WAY we could get it. We can only get a place that is buy here pay here and I'd need to get a job myself. Which after Mike goes to 3rd I am going to be looking. I need a little break from the kids and extra money would be great:) Other then that we are all good. Here are some pictures of the kids. I will write on the bottom of them to let you know who is who. Enjoy have a wonderful week. Love to all.

The kids and Michael. They are left to right, Seth,

Joshua, Chris, Michael hold Mady, Chelsi (mikes step kid but he raised her all her life),

and Mikayla. I was taking the picture. Isn't that a bunch of good looking kids. And Mike too. haha.

Mikayla, and Madysun

Seth, Madysun, and Chelsi.

What a terrible weekend.

Well should I say it wasn't that terrible.We just got a case of Lice and I was not a happy camper. We treated it washed the bed sheets, sprayed the furniture swept the carpet, shaved the boys hair and oiled Madys.. Now we are just waiting to see if they come back. I wasn't very happy. We also saw that Mikayla and Chelsi (mikes kids) had it also. So we treated their hair sprayed the car and carseats and so forth so on. Iwas just not to happy about it.I know it's part of life but Seth was asking questions and didn't understand it at all. So now we are fighting that and have to treat again within 7 to 10 days. We told Mikes ex wife about it and hopefully she does something about it too.

Other then that we had an okay weekend. Just hung out at the house and took a walk on Saturday. I got some new pictures I will post later. I hope everyone had a good weekend. Didn't make it to church and probably not tonight either.Since we are fighting this bug problem. I still hope we get it all taken care of.

I just hope people don't look at us funny or anything. It makes me feels like I am a dirty person and I don't keep my kids clean. But I know that's not the case at all. Anyways. Hope everyone had a Blessed Weekend. I will wrote some more tomorrow and another one of Mike's poems. Thanks:)

Weekend

The weekend is here and we are enjoying the wonderful Indiana weather. Atleast right now it's warm but I guess a cold front is coming to cool things off. Not fun at all. We are excited that we get Josh and Mikayla again for the weekend. So we will be having fun if it doesn't rain playing in the park and walking. But I heard that rain is in the forcast. YUCK.

The boys don't have school today so we are planning on cleaning the house up and I got supper in the crock pot so that it will be done when Mike gets home. We have tball practice tonight weather permiting. So we are always busy. Not really much time to just relax and enjoy the family. It is always a busy week and weekend. I am hoping here soon will be some down time when school is out for the boys and we can just relax in the evenings as a family. I can't wait for that.

Madysun's been moved to the boys room. And we brought the toys in the living room. Gives the living room a little bit more room and then Mady might sleep better because no one is walking back and forth in the living room. The boys are enjoying her being in there but they still fall asleep like they always used to.

Seth is excited about tball games starting and to spend the summer outside. He really enjoys being outside. He can't wait until the weather is nice and warm out.

Christopher well he is his normal self. Very stubborn and very mean. (lol) He loves his mommy and to get introuble and hide things from you. But over all he is wonderful:)

Michael and I will be celebrating our 1 year in June. June 1st to be exact. We can't wait. We aren't going to do much for it though as money is tight. I hope everyone enjoys the weekend. Will take pictures and post them when I get back on the computer. I smell lunch so I better get going. Love and Miss everyone.

MICHAEL'S POEM

I wanted to share with you a poem that Michael has wrote. I want your input on it. He is really into writing and really trying to be a witness to people out there in the world. There are many many poems about God that he writes. I wanted to share one with you. It was on my heart and I wanted everyone to see what a talented man of God I have in my life. Michael is the best things that has happend to me and the kids. He is there for us, he works out the problems that we have in our life. He is just there no matter what. When I fall down he picks me up. He is so wonderful. I hope you enjoy this and leave feedback if you will. Thanks.

Who Am I?

by Michael Watson
Who Am I?

That a God would consider me,

Who Am I?

That a God would die in my stead.

Who Am I?

That a God would wrap himself in flesh,

Just to shed his blood,

to give is life,

to save my soul.

Who Am I, I ask myself,

Then with loving soft words,

I hear a small voice,

You are my child,

that is who you are,

And any other dad would do the same for his children.

And with tear filled eyes, and a trembling voice,

I ask myself

Who Am I?

That a God would love me enough to claim me as his own.

Then it hits me.

I am a Child of God,

I am royalty, I am free to laugh,

free to dance,

free to praise his glorious name.

I am a Child of God,

And that's who I am.

Family and Friends

This is my frist blogging. I am going to start doing this everyday (as I can) and post pictures of family, activities and so forth so that people way down in Flordia to out in Alaska can see what is going on. I thought it would be a great idea and something different.

Life has been crazy here latley. Madysun is finally 1 year old (April 11th). Michael had a birthday last Friday (April 18th) won't say his age but you all should know. The boys are still in school and close to the end of the school year. I am still staying at home but looking for a part time job after Michael goes to 3rd shift. He loves his new job and it's really easy to what he says. Seth and Chris are playing t-ball this summer. It is going to be interesting them playing. I will take LOTS of pictures so we can all share with everyone. We have been getting Michael's kids and I got pictures of them also:) It is going to be a exciting weekend here at the Watson house. We get to visit with them again and that will be fun:) The boys really enjoy playing with them and so does Madysun.

We also have been attending church and staying faithful. It is Oak Park Church. We love it there. Yes, we still have problems getting motivated to getting there but once we are there we are like it is worth every minute. Bro. Shindoll is a great pastor. If you want to listen to his sermons go to http://www.myopc.org/ It is the best preaching around you will truly get blessed. We have made several friends from church and ones that are so loving and caring. I am amazed what God can do in people's lives.

Well enough about this. I need to get the day going and try to figure out this blogging stuff. Thansk everyone for taking the time to listen and write comments. I appreciate each and everyone of you so very much. God Bless and have a wonderful day:)
