I miss you babies

*Tear* I miss my boys so much already. My mother in law and father in law cam down on Saturday and stayed the night. That was a pretty good time. We all had fun and mom and I went rummaging and just spent mother and daughter time together. I enjoyed it anyways. Well back to my sad story They left on Sunday afternoon and they took both of my boys for a week. Don't worry we knew about it and we gave them permission..LOL! I didn't realize it would be this hard to come home wo a quiet house. Everybody keeps telling me to go out and have fun. They wish they could get rid of their kids for a week. Well not when my baby Cooper hasn't been away from me for that 2 days at a time. It's tearing me up but I know it will make me a strong person and make me love my boys that much more not that I don't love them now more than life itselft. Well me having myself and my kids on such a good schedual after work yesterday I did my normal drive home and went straight to Barb's house to get my kids from daycare. I walked in the door and Barb gave me the goofiest look I have ever seen. I stopped for a minute, looked around and then replied "Oh ya, my kids ain't here." I am just so used to getting them everyday and like I said before I am never away from them at night and after work. That was the hardest thing realizing that my kids are not around. When I got home I turned the TV on layed down on the couch covered up and bawled. It is just breaking my heart but like I said before. It will make me a stronger mom and it will give Kyle and I alone time to spend together and get to know each other more. We are able to talk about everything without having kids screaming in the background and crying. Which is a good thing yet I miss the cries and the fighting. Kyle and I are going to go get the kids Friday after work and we will come home on Sunday and be back to the normal schedual of getting up getting the kids ready to go to Barb's then go to work come home make supper bathe the kids play with them for an hour or more put them to bed then I shower then I go to bed. Same stuff just differnt days. Well I am sure you all have read enough about how tough my life is right now so I will sign off now and talk to you all later.

He's just about there

ELY IS ALMOTS POTTY TRAINED!!!! We have been working with him for a little over a week now and he is finally going to the restroom by himself. I am so proud of him and I am happy to that I only have to buy diapers for one kid now instead of two. It is going to help my paycheck a lot. Whew! finally we are just about done. Just thought I would write a little update on the littel man.

Its Finally Friday!!

YAY! I am so glad its Friday yet again I am not. My inlaws are coming tomarrow. That will be a joyful time. They will be leaving on Sunday though its still going to suck because they are taking my boys for a whole week. What will I do. I am not sure if I will be able to handle a whole week. Should I let them be gone for a week or should I make them bring them back say Wednesday? I don't know if i can handle being away from them that long. I am glad its Friday because i dont have to go back to work unitl Monday. YAY! My paycheck isn't going to be good though because i had to take off last Monday so i could get my pick-up back and then Tuesday we had food poisoning from Pizza Hut here in Madison. 7 out of the 9 of us that ate it that night got sick. So that is why I am guessing that is what it was. I never went to the doctor I guess but if you put two and two together it's not that hard to figure out. We got denied our loan to get everything caught up. We have to wait 3 more months first. Which sucks but hey what can I do. Nothing! Well I am going to sign off now and I will hopefuly remember to write tomarrow. I am finally getting the hang of this crazy thing. My stress reliever. HEHEHE!

Sick yet again

Well today was not such a good day. Last night we all had Pizza hut and needless to say that throughout the night we all got sick. I was sick at work and Kyle and I had to leave. We are both pretty tired of throwing up every half hour or so. Cant keep nothing down. I found out that Bob and Becky and their kids are sick to. They ate with us last night. So I am not sure what the deal is.
On a good note aftr I went and picked the kids up from Barb's house I got home and went to the restroom..Ely told me to get off so that he could go poop. I got off and went downstairs to get his underware and I came back upstairs to find him on the toilet doing his business all by himself. I was so proud of my big boy. The funny part is, is that he tried to wipe himself..Now that was intersting..Needless to say I had to jump in. Oh well he is still learning. I am still proud of him he is growing up. Well lets just hope that he keeps up the good work.

little update

Yesterday was a pretty busy day. It all started with crabby kids and Cooper getting hurt. He fell off the couch and he screamed like someone was just beating him to death..LOL! And come to find out he fell on a pile of blankets. So he didnt even get hurt..I think it must have just scared him.. After that i started to clean house.Oh what fun that was. NOT! Oh well its all part of being a wife. We then went over to Becky's house to help them pack and load stuff into the trailer. Well then i got a phone call from a friend and she wanted me to watch her 2 kids Skyler and Lesley. That was fun to have a newborn in the house again. Kyle actually loved it..HEHEHE! Soemday I will have a newborn girl. When we all got up this morning I was getting breakfast for the kids and Ely kneeled down and sad he tummy hurt. I told him to go lay down and he did. I went out there to see how he was doing and he threw up..YUCK! So then i gave him some medicine. Not two hours later her threw up again. YUCK! So now he is lying down and pale as can be. So I am not sure whats gong on with him. Bob is sick also so who knows.. I just hope Ely gets better soon. He just is to quiet when he is sick. I will keep you al lupdated.

Hello to all

Hey to all, I am sorry I havent been on my blog for awhile i have been pretty busy with some financial stuff. We have it all under control now. Now we are in between a rock and a hard spot with some of our friends. They need to find a place to live within three days. I am not sure the whole situation but its not good. I cant do anything to help them, I dont have the space for them nor the money. I am pretty much out of options.
On a good note I am feeling better and so are my boys. Cooper was throwing up last night. He did 2 times. YUCK! I am not sure why the situation was with him. He seems to be feeling much better today. Little fussy but he at least has his color back. Well i better get going. Got to get ready for the day.

I Feel Icky

Today is not going to be a good day I can already tell. I woke up like every couple hours getting sick. Ely says his tummy hurts and he is just lying around so i gave him some motrin and when that kicks in he is a little more ambitious. When that wears off we are in for it again. crabby ol' Ely. I am hoping it is just the 24 hour flu. If not well call the Dr. I will keep you al posted.

Another busy day at papa's house

Yet again today we all went over to papa's to pretty much finish up the siding job. There is still the south side yet other than that it is all finished. My Super Tooper was very crabby. He woke up way to early and didnt get to sleep again untli about 3:15 pm. So needless to say it didn't take long to get him to sleep. Now the next obsticle is to get Ely down..Yah like that will happen. He is being so stubborn some days.
On a good note Ely went potty for me today and last night at grandmas's house. It was a fight to get him on there but he went after his nap last evening. He screamed the whole time he was on there but like I said at least he went. I am not sure if he even knows when he has to go. I asked him this morning if he had to go to the bathroom and he said "yes." So I took him in and he went potty. Grandma Hoeke took him in today cuz he said he had to poop..LOL! i just figured he had already gone in his diaper. He did go in his diaper but we put him on the toilet and still went a little more so maybe i am just trying to push him to hard. How can I tell when he is ready? How do you know if he can feel that he needs to go? I am just plainly out of ideas.
When we got home from Papa's house we all sat down to watch the Dukes of Hazzard on HBO. Its a pretty good movie so far. Kind of stupid if you ask me..LOL! Oh well. Ely and Kyle seem to like it a lot. Well I am going to sign off for now. Talk to you all later.

Siding Papa's House

Today we went over to papa and grandma's house to help Dick Ruger side his house. Man was it hot out. Everybody was there. All the kids played well together and the boys and Julia were catching crawdads and frogs from the creek. That was just gross. Ely loves to play with frogs and such. Its been a long haul for everybody. Lots to do in such little time. Money gets tight and bills need to be paid. Work work work all day long and it always seems that ends never meet. I think papa and grandma Hoeke are going to buy Ely a new bike for his birthday. Ely's birthday isn't until November but he wont be able to ride it then. So i am hoping that we can get it soon so he will be able to ride it before the snow flys. I didn't even know that he could ride one of those 19 inch bikes until Barb told me and until i was able to see it over at Grandma's house. He is vary good at it..I don't think it will be vary hard to get him off the training wheels when it comes time. Now the potty training bit is a completly differnt story. If anybody has any ideas or options for me to try I would be more than happy to try them out. Ely will be 3 in November and he seems to have no interest at all. I am not even sure if he can even tell if he has to go. He will tell me he has to go number 2 so I go and put him on the potty and he just screams and says no he don't want to. I just wish he would learn because it would make it so much cheaper on me not having to buy diapers for both kids. So if anybody has any ideas PLEASE feel free to let me know. Well i am going to call it a night. We had a long day and its time for bed. Good night to all.
