Back ...

We are back from Disney and had a great time. Didn't want to leave!!

Dawn & Aaron thanks!!! You are the best!

The plane rides were easier then we thought. The weather was perfect (minus the rain) The company couldn't have been better. The kids in all were really really good. Dinner, since we had the dining plan was TOTALLY worth it!

ok..back to maxin & relax

oh and we submitted our picks today!

Just some ramblings....

How fast has summer gone...

it bothers me.. I can't believe its August already, in ways I am excited for things that are coming up but on the other hand... its all going too quick.

summer is "our" time. Our time to sit on the beach with great friends, sit by the fire and talk about our family and our goals. Laugh, and have a really good time. Not saying that winter is all bad nights and boring days, its just we all seem to be have more time together in the summer and of course this being our last summer on Nantucket, it saddens me. Of course...Ethan has the best of friends, along w/ me and Jay. Everyone loves Jocelyn and helps with her all the time. Makes me think how much I am going to miss this lil island we call HOME.

I love Jersey but I feel like sometimes its not home anymore. I mean I know in my heart its home but when everything on the home front isn't right...do you really want to call it home? Not so much, my family, I feel like it;s falling apart right in front of my eyes. Kids living at home, that hated home months ago, others not living at home that need to be, others think they can do better w/ out the family but sometimes cant.... is it my fault for leaving and it all going to hell. Is it my fault for getting out and leaving them behind... not sure. I am sorry if it is.. I love them with every breathe I take but I feel like its out of my hands now. No one talks anymore. Everyone lies.

To one of them: Go home...make up ... just suck it up and do good this yr, I know you can. I need you too. If you fail, I fail. and baby we don't fail! No matter what or who thinks we do. I love you more then you know... and I am always here, and if it gets too rough, call me...we can get threw this.

To the others: I am sorry that I am not there to bail you out... but you can get out of this shit yourself... I have taught you well. Sweet talk one and agree with the other. You know that they are "always" right. They are ours and there is NO changing this... they do love us and they do everything for us.

To one: you need to stop playing the field with all of "them" Choice who you want in your life...do NOT have all because one will get hurt, and the one that you played against will be there to clean it up....again.

My do we have to be this way....

be free. live your life. no matter how hard it is going to be. We will be fine. It's gonna hurt when it heals too. It'll all get better in time. And even though I really love you. I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to. It'll all get better in time.

Ree: thanks so much for always letting me cry. you are my world. since we were little you never judged me or my family. and I can't say thank you enough. you mean so much to me and my family. how many nights did I sleep on your couch. you never pushed me away or told me no. always let me go. and figure shit out on my own. but always were there to catch me when I fell. love for a friend, cousin, sister is what I have for you. its greater then most.

Less then 2 months!!

I am so excited ... less then 2 months until w/ the Cottrell's!!

Does it get any better then a week w/ your best friend/cousin and her family in DISNEY? I don't think so. Plus J's parents are going to try to meet us while we are there...hopefully we can spend the day together and have dinner and just have fun and relax!

YEAH!

Even after the mess with both of our airlines, and me loosing our tickets... everything is calm and will be fun!!!

He's Home

My baby is home and already being a goofball!!
He had a GREAT time in Florida w/ his grandparents!!

But of course drama we cause....

yesterday we go to logan to get Ethan. Joce wasn't feeling so well. she started getting hot. so we got off the boat had breakfast and she fell asleep in my arms.

wouldn't eat or drink.

we get to Logan where I encounter Bitch#1 who will not let Jason
come back with us to get Ethan because he is NOT on the ticket...

so I say ok I will go and take Jocelyn you go with Hase (my brother, pronounced Haze) and get a beer I will go let her play in the playarea and wait for Ethan.

So off go me and Joce to security, we wait in line. A TSA guy comes over and start talking to Joce "look at your shoes, they are green like Kermit" she starts to cry and holds her mouth, so I pick her up thinking ok she doesn't feel well and not liking that this man is talking to her. and as I pick her up to swing her on my hip she RALPHS all over me!!! Sour milk!!! I put her down and she proceeds to get sick.

I fumble in my bag for my cell but can't find it. SO at this point TSA is all over us. I ask them if they can page my husband so he can take her I can go get Ethan.

The kermit guy says here use mine. I call Jason who RUNS over to us... now you know if you see someone running in the airport...your gonna cause a seen. SO everyone is now watching as he is running in the airport to security! LOL! The Tsa are popping the ropes off so he can run right over. He grabs her and takes her out to the car and I turn to go threw security. I put my nasty puked on shoes in the bin w/ my bag and hold it. I tell the guys at the scanner "do not let anyone touch this bin, it has throw up in it" "what" "do not let anyone touch this bin, it has throw up in it" "what" "look my kid just threw up all over that bin and the stuff inside so I was trying to tell you not to let anyone touch the stuff" Bitch#2 " whatever" the fucker said whatever to me...

so I am standing there in front of a muslim man .. tsa is now walking over to our area and the scanner dudes are like "is this your bag" to the guy he says no and they continue to ask him 3 more times... I look at the bag...its MINE! I say :its mine: BITCH#3 dude walks over and I say "easy what you touch" "why" "it has throw up all over it" "whats in the bag" "what" "whats in the bag" "uhh underware, dress, diaper, wipes, my cell I think, wallet, why" out he pulls her sippy filled with liquid. I said "oh thats my daughters" "well where is she" "over there" "over where" and now the fucker is starting to get loud. so I get louder because I am on the verge of tears, covered in puke of sour milk, and only have 10 mins to get to the gate to get Ethan. "she is standing over there with her dad, she is covered in puke, and why are you harassing me I am not even FLYING" he hands me the sippy and lets me go.

I make it to the gate and I go to the counter to check in. "Hi," Bitch#4 "Not now, you need to take a seat and I will be with you in a few minutes" I take a breathe, and think ok.. I need to get myself to gether anyway so I go sit down. About 5 mins later, she seems less busy so I go up " can I ask you a question" "if your not on this departing flight you need to sit down and I will be with you in a few mins" now i am pissed. I see people lining up, so I go jump in the line because I need to check in to get someone not get on a flight. she then announces that the next flight out is transferring gates. so every customer gets up aggrivated and relocated, well i go to the lady again and said .." excuse me," this bitch says "you need to go to A21" right as I went to fly off the handle another worker came up and said "where is the flight from Tampa, I have 7 kids getting off" the bitch says they transferred to A21..so I aske the lady who walked up "can I ask you a questions since this lady is rude and had no time to answer questions" she glared at me..i could feel it...LOL! "i am just trying to check in I am picking up my son, who is coming in as an unaccompanied minor" she asked from Tampa and then I told her yes and and she said follow me...

she explained that he was going to be last off and all I would have to do is sign for him since she checked my ID as we walked to the gate...

Joce continued to get sick all the way home, and woke up this morning FINE!!!
