The Ranch....

I have had a love hate relationship with the Ranch for about 13 years now. I am pleased to say that it has become more of a love the last few years. It took a long time beacause I had to figure out who I was, and not react to other peoples actions. This last trip was a unique one. My mom and her husband Bill came along. It was alot of fun sharing something that speacial with MY family. It made it feel more like home to me. My mom loved the "Little house" she said it reminded her of home. I was glad she could be there. Ryan And Kim worked on the "White Palaces" roof. ( that is Kim And Machelle"s house on the hill). It is beautiful. I am so happy for Kim, to see his life long dream come to fruition. He deserves it, I have never known anyone to work so hard for a goal. My kids are in their element there, i feel so guilty taking them home to the "City". My dogs got to go this trip, and they got to be the dogs they were meant to be. Simple pleasures, bring absolute joy.
While i was there i had an experience that some would think was really common, but it was a first-and meant the world to me. I needed to give my kids a bath. so i had to rip them away from the camp fire. While I was bathing them, my mom came in and took joshie from me. He was so tired that he was just crazy. She took him from me and got his jammies on and got him in bed. Now like I said I am sure that this is common for many people, but it was the first time that I felt taken care of. I am on my own alot- emotionally. I will never forget that gesture of just being there for me, that my mom gave to me. I felt like a part of a real family- not a pretentious facade.
Ryan and the dogs are still there, and we miss them. I am begining to feel the pressure of having a fouth babe, and not having anywhere to put him. Usuallyby this time i have the nursery set up. However i do feel like I am being blessed with incredible patience. I haven't been bithchy yet!

FM100

Well it has been well over a year since my last post... I guess i have been a bit busy. So i was driving down the street today, enjoying the rainy weather. Joshie was watching a movie. As i was driving i realized that i was having a very pleasant time. Just being by myself, then i caught myself singing along with,We Belong To The Night, By Pat Benetar. I also realized that i had been happily singing along with songs for the past 45 minutes... On FM 100!!!!! Seriously... Am i that old? My mom doesn't even listen to FM100. Wow, that was quite the wake up call that i need to get a life.
So why does it have to be so hard to get my children to eat??? Tessa and Kes have been "eating" for the last hour. I just busted Tessa feeding the dog. Life as a mother has its ups and downs. I sure am happy for both.

hello hair

Well My hair was compared to a uterus... My lovely blonde locks had a bit of the orange syndrome. I didn't know what to do so I called my Mom the hair extrodinair. She told me that my hair is like a uterus the more it is used the harder it is to hold stuff, in my hairs case, color. So the only logical choice was to rebalance it. So now I have Mahogoney Brown hair. My Good friend Neena just did the brown leap, and she looks like a super model. Thanks Neen for the Inspiration. Anyway ...

A bit about the Chadwicks

It all started with me and Rkc. We met fell in love,yadda yadda yadda. Not to downplay our relationship-he means the world to me. We Love. Four years into our marriage we were blessed with Tbugabug. Then Kman came along. Then Joshie. For now our family is complete.

Tbugabug, she is... An animal most of the time, yes with hooves and all. If any of you have read the Twilight series she looks like she is phasing. She is amazing and beautiful. I love her so much it hurts.

Kman. his laugh sounds like heaven-he can be the life of our family. Or suck the life out of it...He is crazy beautiful. And by far the most stubborn human being I have ever known!! I don't know what I would do with out him.

Joshie. He is the funniest dang kid ever! It is never dull around him. He is also so expressive and loving. He melts me.

Rkc he wears the pants in the family-or so he thinks. He works harder than anyone I know.He is the best Dad ever, He is good at everything he tries- I mean really good. It is kinda sickning.

I love him-And I am very thankful to enjoy the journey with him.

As for me, I basically love being a wife and mother. most days. I love to read,eat chocolate dougnuts, Diet Pepsi has saved me many a moment. I love camping with my family, Boating-and this year I plan on having a decent body and body image so that I can enjoy it. I love shopping at Big Lots. Hmm thats about it.
