Oh thats right BUSY!!!

Anyways, how is everyone? I have been okay, hangin in there. My kids are as crazy as ever. They are both so big. Zaiden is catching right up to Dante Everyone including dh and myself always have to do a double take on which todler is comming up to us because they look and act exactly the same...Dante is the "I wanna go fast!!" boy and Zaiden is the "im just gonna sit here and watch" boy. 2 1/2 years age difference and there is only 8lbs weight difference in the two and Zaiden is only 7"shorter then Dante. It has been crazyness.
My sister inlaw is 19 and she just had her first baby on the 10th of this month. She is going to be a great mom, but she has no job, no vehical, no boyfriend, and lives with my other sister inlaw and brother inlaw and their 3 girls. I have been spending almost all my time over there. The baby finally came home this wednesday. Te baby has down syndrome. They had no clue til suspicion kicked in from the nurses several hours after he was born. No test during the pregnancy showed any signs what so ever. he came home wed on oxygen because he has had massive breathing problems. The stress and anxiety in that house could be cut with a butter knife, and it isnt because he has down syndrome it is because everyone is a little scared shitless. I think things will work out fine though.

On another note...As most of you know dh and i work contruction here in las vegas. well work is very slow. dh and i usually have the advantage for income because we are both in the trade. well unfortunaly him and i recently got laid off at the same time so we are both out of work and have a huge list ahead of us to go back to work. Things are a little scary and stressful financial wise. but we a couping like usual.

So how is everyone else doing? I havent been on here in what seems like forever!

Good to hear from you DB, I was wondering where you were. Sorry to hear things are a little rough right now though :(

I cannot believe you are still on here! I have a new name now on here, but I remember being on when i was pregnant with my son and we were all angry hormonal ppl arguing lol. Well... Im sorry to hear about the job loss. I hear a lot of bad stories now a days. Before I was on welfare, and now I am full time college student for social service work, and my sons father works at BMW and we are not on welfare for a year now. But wow Im so excited to be back on here lol. Sometimes I just want to talk to other ppl with children:)

Floricica.haha oh yea the hormonal days! I miss them! hahaha. well yes i am still on here..I think its a little over 8 years now. I think it would break my heart to leave at this point. So who were you before on here if you dont mind me asking? it is great to hear you are doing so well though! This happens every so often in the construction industry. Last time work was this bad though was after september 11th. but things will hopefully pick back up and the bright side is that since we are union and out of a hiring hall that its basically we have to wait our turn to get work....but things will get better just a slow patch.

Amanda!!! I miss you love!!

amanda17 - April 25th, 2009 8:46 PM
