Thursday's Thoughts

I went to court this morning regarding my two boys. I was confident and hopeful. The fate of my boys living arrangements were to be determined at this court. GREAT NEWS! I was awarded extended visit with my boys, that means they get to stay with me for sixty days straight. They do not have to return to the group home. In fact I have a sixty day review in January to see how everyone is and hopefully at that court the judge grants me family maintenance. In family maintenance they are mine again yipee! Court again in April and hopefully the judge says case closed. Those are the words I am waiting to hear from the judge.

This is my son Dominic he is nine years old.

                                             

This is my son Ernesto he is ten years old.

These two boys are the reasons why I did not give up when I was told in the beginning of my case that I was not going to get them back. It's been 2 years and 5 months since my boys were taken from me. Now they are on their way back to me.

I want to give HOPE to others who are in similar situations and to remind them not to give up. I also want to thank my HIGHER POWER for giving me my life back and my family.

I am so grateful for who and what I have in my life today. As today is day 814 of my sobriety journey. I will write about that on Sober Sundays.

On a different note, Monday will mark my new journey to weight loss and healthier lifestyle. I will be blogging about my journey and my progress.

              Here I am with my fiance Antonio, our baby girl Lily (purple dress) and his uncle's daughter.

Don't we make a great happy couple? In January will be our two year anniversary and we are going to Vegas!

These are just a few of my thoughts and accomplishments.

Keep Coming Back!

My Manic Monday Issue

Ok so I know it isn't monday anymore, but I just found this new blogger.Visit her blog  http://whitneyb99.blogspot.com/ I am here to vent about people who do not follow through. Last month I sent out a package to someone and payment was supposed to be sent out to me. Well it never happened. It just bugs me because I did not hesitate to send it out without payment. I guess I won't do that again. Anyways I have decided not to let one person ruin my faith in people.

My First Bunco Night

Earlier this evening I went to my first Bunco Night with the Fresno Mommies. The theme was Halloween. My costume was last minute so I consider myself a 49ers fan. Anyway, I got lost trying to locate the address. Then once inside the complex I got lost again. When I finally found the right place and knocked, the woman at the door said it was french class. I second guessed myself and thought I was in the wrong place. Joke was on me though, I was in the right place.

This being my first Bunco I wasn't sure what to expect. I was kinda nervous as there were so many mommies and some of which I never met before. I did well and got the hang of the game. My new fave game Bunco! I handed out MOM PACKS at the end of the night. For all you moms out there who want to send fillers for these packs contact me.

This was a great treat for me since I had a rough week. I dealt with my landlord trying to over charge me for rent, ex boyfriend wanting a favor from me and he don't help me out (long story), kids fighting and Lily throwing things out of the fridge. Busy hectic week.

Tomorrow we are heading out of town as I pick up Bella for our visit. I only get her for 48 hours in a month. Trying to get that fixed. I miss my daughter so much and I know she misses us. I also want her to meet my family as she does not know them. ***SIGH***

I got my Arbonne products today. I can't wait to try them out. Yayme!!! I also got my Pink Papaya products today and will be trying them out as well, I will give my review of the products.

Lily is coughing away, I feel bad for her. I did rub vicks on her chest and her back. I hope she gets better soon. She does have a doctors appointment next week. My SO is yelling at her for crying, she is in pain though. I think I am done blogging for the night so I can attend to my baby's needs.

Good Night!

Busy Day ~ Lots Done

Wow I am so tired! My family and I had a busy day today. We got up at 6:30am, I made breakfast burritos and then we were on the road. We went to a community yard sale in Clovis. Found great deals, picked up some cds from artists back in the day and some things for the kids. We then headed to the Fresno Mommies 3rd Birthday Party. We got there and started to mingle. I bought raffle tickets as there were so many great prizes to win. The kids and Antonio were at the playground playing.

There were so many events for the kids to do. Oh ya did I mention we got airbrushed tattoos, so cooool! There were snakes, bubbles, princesses, crafts and lots of goodies for all of us. We had so much fun. Towards the end the raffle was held. I won two dinners at Table Mountain (what I was hoping to win) and Antonio won earrings (which he gave to me) and he also won a baby item. We were so excited as we do not win anything.

After the party we went to Walmart to buy halloween costumes for the kids. All but one found something. I bought Carrie Underwood & Kelly Pickler cds. Already listened to them and they are great!

I fell asleep as did Lily as we were just burnt out. Everyone else did their own thing. After I got up I made dinner for my family and now some time later here blogging.

I love family days like this one!
