I've missed blogging. I don't make time for it these days. I'd much rather eat, nap, clean, shower, or just sit, while the twins are occupied or napping.
So, a quick update:
KJ is still 9, counting down to her August birthday, to celebrate her first double-digit birthday. She's enjoying really cool sciences classes this summer. No soccer this summer. (we missed out on the registration date). She's enjoying her summer so far --although, on days with more chores and responsibilities, she very quickly lets me know that I'm making it "the worst summer ever!". eh. It's what every mother lives for, right?! ha!

Pep Boys will NEVER get my business again!
As I drove away from Pep Boys, I remembered that I needed to return a motor mount from Auto Zone, that we had purchased in February...
**When I went to Pepboys on June 5th, for the a/c, I also asked them to look into the rattling my car was doing. (A friend of ours had already fixed two, out of three, motor mounts on the car in February.) Well, Pepboys told me that the mount that hadn't been repaired yet needed to be repaired. So, I added that to the a/c repair. I paid over $500 for the repairs that day. When I went to drive my car, I noticed it was still rattling. I went back in and they told me I would have to go back the next day because the mechanics had already left for the night. I went back a day or two later and was told to go back later that afternoon because I needed to talk to the mechanic that had worked on my car, and he wasn't there yet. I went back later that day (and was then told that someone should have helped me when I went the first time, that morning. I should NOT have had to go back!). Then I was told that a different motor mount, one that our friend had replaced, needed to be replaced again. They told me it was a bad mount and was causing the rattling. I couldn't leave my car that night so I told them I would take my car back in, again, the next day, June 8th. I managed to keep my cool and stay positive that the rattling would finally stop. The mount was replaced and I paid right under $150. (the rattling did NOT go away and they told me that there was nothing more they could do. "sometimes cars just rattle..." Uh, the car is only an '03!) I asked for the old mount back so that I could return it back to Auto Zone, since it had only been on the car for a few months (and the car wasn't even being driven for most of that time)**
...So, as soon as I picked my car back up, I went straight to Auto Zone. Auto Zone, looked at the part that I was telling them needed to be returned because Pep Boys said it was faulty and needed to be replaced. The guy looked at me and told me that Pep Boys was wrong and that there was nothing wrong with the part. He looked carefully at all the parts that would be cracked IF it was actually a bad part. He showed me where the cracks would be and what do you know... the part was NOT bad in any way.
Without thinking, I asked if they would be able to return the part anyway because I had already paid for the repair at Pep Boys. Then they kindly knocked some sense into me! They told me that I should go back to Pep Boys and get my money back because I did NOT need to pay all that money for a repair that was not needed. Duh! Why didn't I think of that?! I immediately called Pep Boys and, of course, got the run around. The guy had the stupidity to tell me "well, if there's nothing wrong with the mount then Auto Zone should return it." I responded with "If there's nothing wrong with the mount then it NEVER should have been replaced and I should NOT have had to pay $143!". He asked me if I could go back to Pep Boys and speak to them in person because it was all "too confusing" to figure it out over the phone —and I'd need to speak with the service manager.
I called for backup... I called my parents. I know, I know, I'm almost 30 years old and I'm a big girl now. But they recently had similar issues with Pep Boys charging them for parts that were never replaced and they got there money back without a hassle (on two different work orders!! BAD Pep Boys!! All that happened AFTER I had already taken my car for repairs —or else I never would have trusted Pep Boys with my car.). So, they met me there just for "support" and reinforcements, if needed. ha!
When I walked in, the guy told me that nothing would be able to be done today because the service manager already left for the day. I flipped out because over the phone, he told me the service manager was out to lunch and would be back in 30 minutes, and I should go in person after 30 mins. He then tells me that when we were on the phone he didn't know that he had already left for the day —he really thought he had just left for lunch. (He could have had the decency to at least call me back when he found out. No, instead, he let me go all the way back for him to tell me to go in tomorrow? I think not!! I told him that something HAD to be done today because I was so tired of having to go another day to take care of things they have done. He then looks at the part and says that it is faulty and I should take it back to Auto Zone and get a refund. He also told me that they wouldn't know if it is a bad part because they don't "repair cars". Uh, really?! They wouldn't know if a part is good or bad even though that's what they look at alllll day long??! Seriously?! I then told the guy that Auto Zone will not take it back because there is nothing wrong with mount —it didn't need be be replaced like I was told by a Pep Boys mechanic. He said, "I'll be right back." and was gone for about 10 mins...
He returned with all my $143 and change in hand! (I was thinking "Oh! I thought you said you couldn't make a refund like that on your own??...") Then he tries to tell me that he needs my part, the one that they told me was bad; the one I had already paid for out of pocket. Or that they would need to take the one that they put on my car off. I told him that I didn't want them working on my car anymore and that the part that was in my hand was originally mine! He tried telling me that he needs to show a faulty part for the return. I told him that it wasn't my fault! "If your mechanic hadn't told me that I needed this repair we wouldn't be in this situation. This is my part. I paid for it and the one on my car is there because your mechanic wanted to charge me for something that didn't need to be done!" Then he tries to tell me that I should give him the part back because he is actually giving me more than what it's worth anyway... Is he really that stupid?!? ( I really don't like calling people stupid!! BUT seriously!!!) He really thinks he was doing me a favor?! I told him "You're not giving me any extra money! You are giving me exactly what I paid out of pocket for something that didn't need to be done! You're not giving me anything to cover my travel expenses or my time. So, I should get every single penny back, not just what I paid Auto Zone for this part!" He responded with "okay, I'm not going to argue with you over this." he put the part back in the box, handed it to me, made me sign the receipt for the refund, and I was out the door.
GEEEEEZ!!!!! What drama!! I wish I really could get reimbursed for all the gas and time I've spent dealing with the problems they have caused. Unfortunately, the a/c repair, I'm stuck with —even though my a/c still doesn't work properly. They say that what they repaired is not the current problem. So, I'm taking my car elsewhere and if I found out that Pep Boys did not fix what they say they did or that the parts they used were not new, I will be back for another refund!
On a good note: I now have some cash to put towards the a/c repair! :)

Let's "socialize"!
If you haven't already heard the news... I finally created a facebook page for Life Happens. I may not always have an entire blog to post but I sure have plenty of quick 'happenings' and photos to post on facebook. :)
You can also find me on Istagram (life_hapns), Twitter (@life_hapns), and Pinterest (lifehapns). I'd love to connect with you! Oh, and if you enjoy phone games you can look for me as Life_hapns —of course! ;)
Find me on your favorite social site and say "hello". I'd also appreciate if you "share" it with your family and friends. Life sure "happens" and sometimes we just need all the support we can get... Thanks for supporting me on my journey!

I am a _______________ Mom.
What's your 'fill in the blank' word this month?
Last month i filled in that blank with CHEER. This month, I will fill it in with SOCCER. I honestly have NO idea what I'm doing. lol I know nothing about soccer. My daughter knows more than I do. My hubby knows nothing about soccer... but here we go!
I rate the outdoors to be about a 6 (10 being the worst), during the hot months. during the spring and winter, I LOVE the outdoors. KJ probably loves it just about as much as I do —she can't stand the bugs (ants, mosquitoes, flies, bees, etc.). She's terrified to accidentally come in contact with poison ivy. So, I can almost picture it now: her screaming and crying on the field, terrified to move, because she saw ONE, yes ONE, ant... earlier! LOL ...but here we go!
I want to see her succeed. I want to learn the game. I want to let her experience all the things she wants to. I am really hoping that I have what it takes, as her mom, to push her just enough, not too much, to conquer those little, to her, huge, fears and annoyances.
If you have any tips or scriptures to help us begin this journey, I'd truly truly appreciate it!!
First soccer meeting, here we come!! (tonight at 6:45...outdoors.) ;P

My glass half full
Three out of four are currently sleeping. I have a wee bit of time to get a blog post in. :) Those two sentences alone make me happy —hee hee.
First, here's my update:
Since my last post —God has carried my heart to a much calmer place. I am strong. I am loved. I am able. :) What surrounds me will not define me. I have choices, and for now, I choose to fervently wait on God. I trust, in every way, that all areas of my life are right where I belong right now —to push me where I need to go . . . to what I need to become.
Personal goals —I was on my way to a 5k and then it quickly got taken away from me. :( I started running in May and had worked my way up to 2+ miles 3-4 times a week. I had even started to enjoy the early morning, 5:30am, run --watching the sun come up and having some extra quiet time to myself. Now, I am sad to say that I haven't run for a month now. Today is exactly four weeks since my last run --the day I pushed my body just a little too much. My shins are still in recovery mode. The doc says I could have possibly fractured my shins (micro fractures). I'm supposed to be working on getting the swelling back down and strengthening them back up. The doc says that I will be able to run again —just not any time soon. Oh, how I miss it. And right now it seems as though EVERYONE on facebook is running . . . except for me. :( So, I've revised my birthday wish list; instead of new cool toe shoes for running, I replaced that request with a new extra extra thick yoga mat and a door frame pull-up bar. I will start a new routine of yoga and pilates in order to maintain the weight loss that I had worked so hard for.
TTC —still waiting to see two pink lines :)
Everyone and their mother A lot of people around us are pregnant or have conceived and already had their baby. I am actually back to handling the annoying negatives quite well (if I may say so myself). I didn't cry about the negative last month; nor did I cry when Aunt Flow unexpectedly stopped by for a visit. That's progress! I must say that I have been refreshed with new blessings through all of this. A 9 wk old baby girl enrolled and started a week and a half ago, joining the 8 month old that has been coming since he, was only 8wks old! Caring for and loving these babies (and 3 yr old) brings me such joy. I am so blessed to be trusted with these little precious lives. I anxiously wait for the day that I can experience these moments with my own precious blessing (a second time) —so for now, I am thankful for the many little blessings that have come my way.
KJ —our little Kryssa Joyce turned 7 on August 10th. We celebrated with just family, us four and grandparents, on the 10th and then KJ got to celebrate with her friends on the 13th. It was a wonderful celebration! Just seeing all these little friends, most of which we have known their entire life, "hang out", laugh, and create memories —absolutely priceless. Her theme was, of course, Puppy/Dog and she still talks about how it was the best party ever. hee hee The simplest things are sometimes the best. :) Our fall homeschooling session has begun. It's quite different than last semester but I will find what works best, again, and keep moving forward.
KitKat (aka Miss K) —Her family nickname was pickle --but now that she is a freshman, I figure one nickname would be better (she was given the name kitkat by her school friends). She has been here with us 'full time' since around February and "officially" moved in during the week of May 8th! Unfortunately, we still are waiting on the "legal stuff" to be finalized and then we will work towards adoption. Volleyball season started about 3 weeks ago and I can honestly say that I never thought I would truly enjoy being a "soccer Volleyball Mom" --but here it is folks . . . I am loving every moment!! :) Now, of course, fighting through traffic is never "fun". But I am truly happy to support her during her games, scrimmages, tournaments, and even practices as often as I can. I already lost a good portion of my voice just from cheering her on this past Friday and Saturday. I tell her I am going to buy a SHOUT cone (from Party city) and decorate it just for her --I will proudly use it every chance I get. hee hee. Soon, my title will change to "Cheer Mom" --hee hee I'll have to quickly learn how to make hair bows and cute hair styles. (and whatever else cheer moms have to do).
This summer was definitely one to remember. We had several road trips and numerous adventures as a new family of four . . . quite different! I love the family that we have become. I am so grateful for God's blessings. Now that the school schedule is back in play, I should be able to sit and enjoy some blog time every now and then (as long as the children continue to nap all together).

endo, endo, go away! —don't come back another day. (hpt #4)
I'm sitting up in bed, waiting for the Lortab to take over... I only took half. I hadn't needed any pain meds since January 15th (give or take a day or two) —since I started on Lupron . However, I've been off of Lupron, by choice, while we ttc, since mid April. Everything had been going really well, until . . . two nights, or so ago, the endo pains got so horrible that I actually gave in to the pain meds again. :( (I only took half, since I had been off of them for so long and it worked within 30 mins or so.)
I started to notice the endo symptoms returning about a week and a half ago. Normally it doesn't take long at all before it gets miserably out of control. :( (in the past, from the time that the pains would start daily, it would only take about two weeks until the pain was present 24/7 even with pain meds —until I would hear the words from my doc, "I'll schedule you for surgery...". This happened 3 times in a year and a half.
I'm praying for a miracle this time around. I want to continue ttc (trying to conceive). I want to NOT need Lupron. I want to NOT need another surgery. I want to do my regular activities and NOT end up temporarily crippled from endo pain. I want to go on feeling this "normal" feeling I had been feeling up until a week and a half ago. I could sneeze and not feel any pain. I could lift my daughter and not feel any pain. I could get up from sitting and not feel pain. I was LIVING without pain.
I told Chris, last night, "well, it was amazing while it lasted. At least I was able to experience 5 WHOLE months of being pain free..." (almost two months was while I was off Lupron treatmenst!). I don't miss Lortab and the side affects that come along with taking it. I don't want to end ttc because of endo! The thought alone makes me want to cry.
Speaking of "cry". I cried this morning. I took HPT (home pregnancy test) #4 and it was another big fat negative. :( It really had my hopes up though. Normally it absorbs super quickly and evenly. This morning, it absorbed at the speed of a snail AND the color streaked/dragged across the strip and I had my hopes up that it was going to leave the first 'mark' at the 'positive' side. Instead, it just creeped its way allllllll the way past the positive, straight to the negative line. I waited the full ten minutes, as the instructions clearly state. However, at the ten minutes, any hope for that first pink line (the "positive" line) was gone —it was bone-white.
I crawled back into bed, snuggled with Chris, and cried in his arms. It's the first time, since trying, in 2010, that I allowed myself to cry (that I allowed myself to feel anything...). I told him "I'm so sad, hun." He said "I'm sorry, honey." and he just held me. I couldn't have asked for a better response/reaction from him. I sobbed, prayed, and did my best to put my heart back in God's hands (along with my hopes, dreams, and deepest desires). It made today really tough for me. I cried for a lot of silly little things, including passing up the baby section at Walmart tonight...
So, if you will please, keep my in prayer. It seems to be a tad bit harder to keep my focus on staying positive —no matter the outcome, the fact that I believe, from the bottom of my heart, with all that I am, that God's plan for me is much, much, greater than I could ever imagine. —wether I remain a 'mother of one' or whether I am blessed beyond belief to be a 'mother of two'...
On a much positive note: We have really enjoyed Chris's vacation time!! (pics coming soon) He goes back to work tomorrow and we are just so thankful to have had 10 days to spend together. :) We are so blessed to be celebrating 8 years of marriage!! (technically 'today', since I'm typing this after midnight, 7/6/10)
Thank you for reading! (and your support, kind words, and prayers)

The new family gag
You know the doll from Toy Story 3? Well, since we've seen that movie, we have been placing this doll around the house in different areas, trying to get each other (that the doll comes to life and makes her way around the house when we aren't looking) lol!!
So I've been on the couch, watching a movie. When it was over, I stretched and I hit something with my arm. I turn around, and what do I see?? This doll sitting right behind me, staring at me!!! Ahh! CHRIS!!!! LOL I admit, it freaked me out...
The first time he got me, was about 5 nights ago. It was pitch dark and I had my hands full, while walking upstairs. So, I'm walking super slowly, one step carefully at a time. I felt something touch my leg as I got to the last step. I adjust my eyes to see what it was --Chris had placed the doll sitting in the middle of the very top step. It was pretty creepy and he was CRACKING UP!!! lol

germs germs --go away!
I think her fever FINALLY broke today. She was finally fever free ALL day today! :)
Tomorrow should be even better.
I, on the other hand, had who knows what (more than likely strep too) and hid behind a hacking, wheezing, cough! It's still not completely gone and I'm supposed to be at a wedding rehearsal tonight (seeing how it's already Friday, 2:43am) --ready to rehearse . . . I'm singing at my friends wedding this Saturday! Yikes. I can't believe I had all year long to loose my singing voice and my body chose now. :( So, God willing, my voice will just keep coming back more and more so that by Saturday, it will just sound raspy in a romantic, sexy, way! ;)
It's been a long boring week of Tylenol, Motrin, Antibiotic, Pedialyte, thermometer readings, crazy high temps of 105, baths, cuddles, coughs, breathing treatments, and chicken noodle soup.
Tonight was a great night. I skyped with a wonderful friend -for several hours, while she packed for her big move (taking place on Saturday ::sad face::)
It's Friday already. Geez, this week flew right on by --thanks to all the 'sick germs' we've been fighting off.
Nighty night. I guess staying up late doesn't help my body fully recover. ;) oops.

Last Kinder event
Today is the big day. KJ will be receiving awards and singing songs as a "so long kinder ... Hello first grade!" Wow. Yes, it does go by fast --too fast. I'm so excited to be there and take it all in. However, it's taking place in her class room! :( It will be packed with the 22 kindergartners, the teacher, teacher's helper, and who knows how many parents will be able to squeeeeze in... :( I would have loved to be able to pick a front row seat and have plenty of room for me, the little one I'll have with me, my tripod and camera, and her dad and grandparents. Hopefully it doesn't feel too stressful and squished.
So, as KJ is prepping for summer and first grade, I am prepping to finally start school! I'm so excited! :D I feel silly that I'm so excited --normally I just hear how people dread it. I, however, am super excited because I finally feel that I'm "ready" to tackle it -along with motherhood, marriage, working at home, etc. I know it's not going to be "a piece of cake" but I'm ready and super excited! Thanks to my sis for helping me prep along the way (and she says that she'll continue to help me throughout my semesters!!), my mom for all the "mommy" support and encouragement, and to Chris who has FINALLY come around to supporting my decision. :D *so, if you have any experience in this area (going back to school 10 years after the original plan, please share!!)
I hope you enjoyed Memorial day weekend. We haven't had a three day weekend together (no one having to work) in a very long time. So, we were spoiled with sleeping in, family meals, and plenty of cuddle time . . . and then we were reminded all too quickly that everyone had to go back to work and school. But "oh well!", right? :) Life must go on. Summer is coming and June is already packed with events --backyard parties, bday parties, a baby shower, a wedding, playdates, field trips, etc. phew!! This will be our first "summer" and I'm loving it!! :D *let's see how much I'm still "loving" it in a couple of weeks. hee hee
Happy Wednesday to you.
:)

This will be our first "summer" and I'm loving it!! :D *let's see how much I'm still "loving" it in a couple of weeks. hee hee
Happy Wednesday to you.
:)
