the beginning

well, here goes!!! a good friend of mine suggested i do this, so it goes!!! many people have said i should have started a book about the interesting things that have happened since i had children. you could make milllllions from your stories they said........I AGREE!!!!! my life has been a whirlwind since january 19th of 2002...the day before Jake~my 7yr. old~was born! couple years later came Ben~my 5 yr. old~ and then Rivers Marie, the queen of queens was born just 2 1/2 years later!!!! things rolled pretty smoothe w/ the first, except for his large 10 1/2 lb. self! when Ben got here is when all the real fun began!!! swallowing pennies that would not come out, and then coding when the doctors went in to get it, stating first that only 1 in 100 will stop breathing when they go down their throat! guess what???? Ben was the winner!!! he fell out of a chair onto a hardwood floor and got a gushy tomato spot on his little head only to find out from the ct scan that he was missing the very center of his brain!!!!! doesn't matter though and we wouldn't have know unless this happened!! many more interesting things happened and i got to go tot the er for the first time in my life after i had boys....still no rides in an ambulance!!! PTL!!! wait, no, did i mention the day that the queen decided to make her mother keel over???? when she fell 15 ft. out of her brothers' TREE HOUSE? (meaning it is IN. A. TREE.)!!! just four short days before she was supposed to be the flowergirl in her uncles wedding??? guess what!!! 911 that's what!!! the baby girl was the first to give me a ride in an ambulance!!! go figure!!! she went to the ER w/ a great concusion!!! and people, let me tell you from experience.....thank God EVERY day for your hard headed children!!!! i will never complain of mine being hard headed. anyway, everyday around here is something new...some days you wanna laugh at everything, and some days like today, when the toilet ran...and ran and ran and ran for like an hour and Jake informed me the toilet "ran over"? WRONG!!! it flooded is what it did!!! all you wanna do is cry!!! i got it up!!! Jake's lesson for the day "how to get up massive amounts of water in record time" . that will come in handy one day, and lucky for him he got to see how a woman would do it!!!! man, my friend is so gonna be sorry she introduced me to this!!! i DO NOT know how to make a llllloooonnnnngggggggg story short!!!!!
