Why is it that the more you do for others ...the more they take! I just feel that I always try to be there for others and do as much as I can to make their life easier...but I never get nothing in return...not even a thank you! Now don't think I am expecting much...but hey if I need you ...give me the courtesy of being there for me! I mean ..I have so many friends that say I am too nice..and you think that would mean that they would actually be there for me..but nope. I have a husband whom I bend over backwards for, and don't get me wrong...I love him, but when it comes to being there for me...nope...not unless it's something that he "wants" to do. I guess I am just tired of overloading myself to make others happy...and getting nothing in return.

Excited but also sad!
I feel like I have finally won at something! The Attorney General decided that my ex would have to pay child support. He hasn't helped out with her in at least six months, so this is definitly a relief! However, now that he has found this out he won't pay me any of the money he owes me for the past six months...but oh well...like he would of anyways!
Anyway, I was feeling so good that finally something was being done about her dead beat father and then she came home from his house. She didn't want to come. I don't blame her in a way. He hardly ever comes to get her, so when he does she is afraid for him to leave...she has no idea when he will come back. She expressed last night that she would of rather stayed with him then go on our upcoming vacation. This hurt me tremendously! I know that when she grows up she will know and realize everything he did and didn't do. It just hurts because my husband and I work our butts off to give her a good stable home, and now a great vacation...and she doesn't even see it. I just wish she could see how hard we work to give her a stable life. I mean at times it hasn't been easy! Her father lives on someone's couch and only spoilers her when it is convenient. I just wish she knew how much we fought for her, how hard we work to give her all the things she needs and wants! I pray that one day she will realize that we may not be able to spoil her like her father, but we provided stability and unconditional love like she needed!

Pretty damn good day at work..
Man what can I say...today started off bad ..but ended up pretty damn good!
I not only spilt coffee all over my truck, took a wrong turn and then burnt myself on the way to work...but then the day ended up pretty good. After my meeting with the VP of Operations my boss wants to go to lunch...which wasn't unusual. We met a client and was just going to have lunch ...but realized that the US Open was on and ended up watching it all afternoon. After such a bad morning, spending five hours watching the final rounds of the US Open and drinking quite a few beers was such a great way to spend the day!
So after such a great day...the only thing that could top it is if my husband was home from work...but I still got a couple hours for that. Anyway, just had to share a really good Monday with everyone.

Just venting a little...
This happened about a month ago...but is still fresh on my mind...
My husband went and saw a mutual friend of ours for lunch one day. Now neither of us had met his new wife. A few weeks before Robert met them for lunch I had e-mailed them on their myspace just saying that I couldn't wait to meet his wife and that we should all get together soon. At lunch the wife says to Robert "We should get together so I can meet your wife, so she will stop e-mailing us on myspace about meeting me". I had only emailed her once. I was just trying to be nice so that she wouldn't feel left out since the rest of us have known each other for years. It really hurt my feelings. I went out of my way to make sure she knew that we wanted to meet her and get to know each other. She has never met me and now she says this to my husband. I felt that it was a rude and unnecessary comment. Now that they are actually talking about getting together I don't even want to.
What do you think? Do you think it was rude or should I just blow it off and go hang out like nothing ever happened?

Mothers Day!
I would have to say that this Mother's Day has been the best so far!
Robert and the kids cooked me breakfast in bed and they (he) got me a dozen yellow roses. It was the sweetest thing seeing all of my kids carrying my plate, coffee, and roses into the bedroom!
Thanks for such a wonderful thoughtful Mother's day!
xoxoxo

just another day and another update...
Well everything is going pretty well! We just had Sydney's birthday ...so two down ..two more to go!!! We had her birthday party at the roller rink and it was a blast! She got to to into the money box, which was pretty exciting for her. Overall it was a good turnout! Her uncle Joe and his fiance Stephanie came. I was a little worried if there would be tension, but I have to say it was nice! They were really nice and it was good for Sydney...it really made her week! Even Robert asked if I told Joe to be nice ...lol (which I didn't). I told him that is just how he is.
On another note, Sydney's father hasn't came to see her in four weeks. She has stopped asking when he was coming. I don't have a number for him and he hasn't called. I just wonder what she is thinking and feeling right now. I am contemplating putting her in counsling to help her through all of this. He wouldn't tell me when he was leaving for boot camp so I called the recruiter myself and he never even signed up. That really ticked me off. He puts every one through so much and doesn't think about how his lies may or may not effect his daughter. I am just done with him. Since he hasn't been around she has been much better and listens better...which is good.
Robert and I are still doing great! This year has been the best out of all of the years we have been together! Our third wedding anniversary is this month...and I can't wait! Then in July we will have been together five years...boy have they flown by! So all is good, and I have God to thank for that!
Anyway, until next time...have a good one!
