Here is my sweetie pie Jefferson! And Jeff too, HaHa! My good friend Lori from Fort Wayne, Indiana requested that I post a picture of Jefferson. Here he is! The top pic is of his 7th birthday if you can believe that! The left one is of him this past summer. He was six then. Its been challenging with him at times but worth everybody of it! He is still one year behind emotionally, not academically. He is having trouble reading. He worries that people think he cannot read yet. He is now getting to where he cares what people think. He goes to resource class ( special education) 20 minutes a day and he loves it! He loves that he gets special attention! HaHa. He is very much the baby of the house and boss at the same time! We love all of his special ways and that he is just so special and just Jefferson. You can see that he is an animal lover as well. He chased this chicken down to catch and hold it!
He basically acts like a 5 and 1/2 year old in a 7 yr. Old body. We manage this just fine, he just acts a little immature.

Okay, we are transferring to College Station due to Jeff not liking Fort Worth very much. He is still with Hobby Lobby and thankfully they have a store there, so they are footing the bill! HaHa
I am having a hard time with it all, leaving my family and all. Going to a new city isn't helping much either. If it was as good as Fort Wayne that would be great because that was an awesome city to live! They also had a great church, Good Shepherd United Methodist Church ( this is where I met Lori).

I am basically giving a recap of an email I received today. Have a Great Day all!

This is our house that is for sale.
We got an offer on the house after only two weeks! We were not expecting that at all!
This is the bad part, do I stay here and let the kids finish school or do I move now? We will need to vacate our house in about one month. If I stay I will have to burden family members with staying with them or rent an apartment for only two months! Please help me! Jeff and I are fighting like cats and dogs right now too! This is stressful stuff being separated, I thought absence makes the heart grow fonder?? Whoever said that was wrong!

Has anyone kept up with The Bachelor???
This is my favorite show of all, I love it! My kids love it! This Bachelor gives roses to the girls he really likes and want to keep around. Ultimatly there will only be one girl of course. There is alot of drama with the girls, they all live in the same house. It starts with 25 girls, now its down to 2! A school teacher named Sara and a girl named Mouna. He better be picking Sara. She is a better match for him. Mouna is beautiful and exotic but not his match, I am sorry...

Any Desperate Houswives fans out there?? I have only watched it twice but I am starting to become a fan I beleive. My friend Lisa says I act just like Gabby ,I think she is Eva Longoria.

OKay, back to getting the house ready~!

Here is a picture of Jeff! He doesn't let me take many pictures of him. Jackson is beside him, my second child.

I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day! My wonderful hubby told me to go buy whatever I want at the jewelry store! He did hint that I buy a watch for around 400.00 that I had wanted to buy earlier in the year but I say that while the getting is good that I should go crazy and shop 'bigtime'! I guess I won't do that though, I may look at a pearl necklace while I am there too. I will let ya know. I hate jewelry in general, I am not like my Aunt Dorothy ( A jewelry collector, HaHa). Happy Valentine's Day All!

A sad note all, my best friend Lisa got fired today. She is a dental office mgr.The Dr's wife now works there too,for about a year now. I think she(the Dr.'s wife ) was in competition with Lisa and decided it was time for her to go.. Lisa is a little happy about it, more time at home. I am not because her Dentist was great for me even in times of need (emergency dental work-afterhours). Darn, hate for that to end..

What all did everyone do this weekend????

Arn't they cute?? This is Caeser ( the black dog) and Buck ( the golden retriever). The black dog gets cold and likes to get on top of Buck to keep warm!

Will post more later! My good friend Reggie is here to see me before he goes to Boston..He is Lisa's hubby ( the friend of mine that wears kids clothing ; ) We are talking about Lisa! : 0

WOW! I actually got a picture to post!! It only took two days but thats okay.. HaHa

My title is A&M Bound! This is a picture of me and Jeff's best friend Barron Smith. Jeff and I didn't get a picture together that day. We went to the Iowa State vs. A&M game that day and A&M got badly spanked. We still had a great day of tailgaiting. This is your open invitation, WHOEVER wants to come to our neck of the woods and watch a game with us ( even if it is a LOSING game) you are more than WELCOME! Hopefully A&M will get a winning Coach at some point.. Barron Myers ( my son) is named after Barron Smith, just a tidbit I thought you may want to know..

Okay on to another thought. Has anyone done LAWeightLoss???

If you have please comment your thoughts to me on this. My best buds Mark and Janelle have sworn by this and I have seen the proof- they look fantastic thanks to LAWeightLoss but boy is it expensive!! Its times like these that I resort to wanting to just get surgery- I have done it once and I won't hesitate to do it again. Its just that I am short the 7,000.00 HeHeHe.. Does anyone want to fund?? HaHaHa Maybe I should just get a job you are saying?? I just talked to my other best buddie Lisa ( who happens to be like a size O and wears kids clothing at Limited Too) and she says that she will join the YMCA with me. She is a sweetie ; )

Okay I have blogged all morning, gots to go!

Happy Birthday to my my Aunt Dorothy Doughty!! Love You!!

February 7, 1992
The year that Jeff and I got married. Yes, today is our 14th anniversary! Jeff is now in College Station for good except for weekends =( I miss him terribly!
Happy Anniversary to me!

What is wrong with Blogger???

Something is so wrong with Blogger right now. I tried uploading pictures, the website kept failing. Right now as I am typing the words are appearing 30 seconds after I have already typed them! Help! I have an addiction to feed! =) HaHa

My Opinion of SuperBowl Outcome!
Okay like my opinion really matters on this subject because I am not a big fan of either team. I do have some information that has determined my decision in rooting for the Steelers! The Seahawks have stolen a longtime tradition from Texas A&M University, its called the 12th Man. I would be lying to you if I tried to explain because I do not know much about it. I do know that it was on the news that A&M asked SeaHawks to stop using the 12th Man reference. So, that made me really mad at SeaHawks. OKay today I was reading that Roethleburger (Is that even close to his name) he is the Quarterback for Steelers was not chosen for the a position on his High School football team. The Coach picked his own son to Quarterback instead of Roethlesburger. Roethlesburger ( I am so sorry for not spelling this correctly) was made wide receiver. So, this made me think that I am going to root for the Steelers! I am loyal to the Cowboys all the way though! I like the Colts too! Congrats to Troy Aikman, one of the best Quarterbacks ever! Okay I am girl and I am all footballed out now! HaHa

Have a Great SuperBowl Day!

BTW, Jeff is now saying that we may need new countertops to sell our house, arrggghhhh!!!!

Okay today is the start of a long weekend! Our house is officially on the market, we have had two showings. The market is very ssllloooowww (slow) here in Cowtown! Wish us luck!

Jeff leaves for College Station on Monday morning, we will see him on weekends. I think he is finally coming back to his normal self. He has been in perfectionist mode and informing me of all of my shortcomings. I don't have too many of those... HaHa. The list is long but the difference between Jeff and I is that I admit to my shortcomings. A perfectionist can NEVER admit to having something wrong with them. And we all know that is not true! Maybe things will go back to normal once he leaves and starts to miss me and all of my shortcomings!

The kids are all here trying to help me clean but really they are just fighting and hitting one another at the moment. All of this over a PlayStation Madden 06' game. Siblings, you gotta love em'

I am loving this Blog' thing! It is very addicting, communicating your thoughts!

BTW, I have now changed my Blog where anyone can comment (not just members).

I would love to hear from anyone!

Make it a great day (I copied that from someone I think)!

Today is another typical day of getting the house ready for sale. If I make it through this still married it will be a true miracle! I am kidding, well maybe.
I am on this Blog thing thanks to my cuz Dana who also has a blog! Her blog is 'Diary of an Aspiring Writer'. I thought to myself, why don't I have a blog?? Wham! Now I have one! I just have to get everyone else on board. I still don't know what a blog is though...
Dana, you have to let me know if I am doing this right.. My picture looks slightly demonic, I will have to change this..
