Death---I don't really understand how I should feel when someone dies. I know that I am sad for them and their family. At the same time when someone has struggled with an illness for a long time it's almost good when they die. They are done feeling pain and wondering when they will go. They are in a much better place. I think at times I am more sad for the family that has been left behind. The pain of the loss for them and dealing with it is so hard to comprehend.
Debbie I am so sorry to hear about Angie. I had only gotten to meet her once, but through the stories you shared of her I felt I knew her much more. You and your family are in my prayers tonight. Abbie prayed for you all too.
Life---I took Kaleb to the doctors the other day for his 9 month well check. He is the biggest solid chunck in the world. He weighed 27pounds and 11 1/2 ozs. He's has a huge head too, it's almost 18 inches around. He's my sweet little cuddle bug though. Who loves to explore and laugh at his sister. Abbie loves Kaleb, but sometimes too much. She wants to hug him, but she ends up hurting him. It's so funny to watch how she is with him and to know she is only 18 months older than him(and only weighs 4 pounds more too)but how much she tries to take care of him. Abbie has a sweet mothering heart. I love my children so very much. They bring so much to my life. I know that I may complain about them sometimes, but they are everything to me. My kids can always bring me up when I am down. It can just be the smile on Kaleb's face when I look at him or the huge hug Abbie gives me for no reason. They have so much life in them. I want to be just like them.

I've tried to blog a couple of times recently but I keep getting interupted. I really don't know who I am writing to and why I feel that I need to do this. It just takes up some time. Today is a rainy day in Cincinnati. We woke up to thunder storms and have the chance of more storms throughout the day. So it is a dark and gloomy day here and I am trying not to be dark and gloomy.
I hope all is well for my friends out in Vegas. I saw some of the flood pictures. You are all in my prayers. It seems like every time I sit down to blog I can't think of anything to say. I think of stuff all the time to write when I am not at the computer. Well maybe I will try to write again later.

My husband and I finally had a night out last night. It was great just to be able to get out with out our children. Don't get me wrong, I love my children to death, but sometimes I just need to get away. I am home with my children everyday and we only have one car. So I am home most everyday with our 2 kids and no where to go. It was great though to be able to spend time with my husband. We went out for dinner and then to a movie. It was so great.
My son is crawling now. Kaleb is 9 months old and weighs like 24 pounds. He is a big boy but he loves to cuddle. You know how it is when you have your first child and you just can't wait for them to do that new thing. Well with Kaleb I just didn't want him to crawl yet. I mean I did but I didn't. It was nice that I could put him on the floor and he would just sit and play. Now I have to child proof everything and block him away from everything. It is so cute to watch him crawl around and explore. He follows his siter around just trying to see what she is doing. She's not too happy that he is moving around because she has to keep a lot of her toys out of his reach now. Abbie is 2 1/2 and she loves her brother so very much at times almost too much. She hates it when he tries to take her book and a toy, but I hate to tell her he's going to be bigger than her someday. It was the best thing today to watch them as we were pushing them in the cart at the grocery store. The cart is a race car and they were sitting next to each other. Kaleb put his arms around his sister and gave her a big hug and just cuddled up next to her. She then turned and cuddle up to him and gave him a big kiss. It was just so sweet to see them.
Well I have to cut this short. Abbie (who was supposed to be asleep) has just come down the stairs. I must go for now.

Today is my husband Justin and mine 6th anniversary. How are we getting to celebrate, well we went to his families house for breakfast this morning and now he's at work. So how do I feel about this. I am really not sure. I'm sad because we really haven't seen much of each other lately. It doesn't bother me because we are going to spend Monday together. I'm anger because his lazy brother, who doesn't have a job, is just laying around on the couch while my husband works 50+ hours a week so that we can survive. Not that that really has anything to do with our anniversary and us not getting to celebrate but it makes me angry.
We bought our house with Justin's brother Jim. We weren't going to be able to get a loan on our own and he need someone to live with also. Jim had a job when we moved in together. Little did I know that he's stuck in the dark ages when it comes to helping around the house. I had to ask this 34 year old man, who's not married or dating, to put his own dishes in the dishwasher. I've had to tell him several times that I am not his slave. I will make dinner because if I want to eat I have to, but don't expect me to take care of you. Two months ago he lost his job and really hasn't done much about it. He hasn't yet gotten his unemployment, which isn't going to be much, and complains about the amount of paperwork he has to fill out to get it in the first place. It drives me crazy to see this guy lay around and do nothing while my husband works all the time and still manages to get work done around the house. Jim doesn't do anything unless you ask him to. We have to ask him to take the trash out, or water the yard (we're trying to grow grass). Jim is Justin's older brother but you would think that Justin was older just because he takes on all the responsiblities. I was really hoping that things weren't going to be like this when we moved in together. I thought that Jim was going to be a good housemate. Boy was I ever wrong.
Well enough about that. I just needed to get that off my chest. That's all for now!!
