My life on the inside

No baby yet .................

2006-09-05T17:28:49Z

I am so anxious to get this over with and meet my baby girl. I am due Sept. 13th but since this is my third my dr. doesn't think I will make it. But it seems to me that she is very comfy and doesn't want to come out =( I feel like a ticking time bomb, I have a dr. appt. today. At my appt. last week I was dialated to 3cm. Hopefully I made some progress over the week and he can scrape my membranes or something to get me a jump start. I try walking, and sex but it's not working......

We will get the keys to our new house Oct. 19. I am sooo excited!!! We went this past weekend to buy some new living and dining room furniture and also a pub table with barstools for our game room. and we finally ordered our pool table too =) It is going to be kick ass!!!!

I start up my new job after not working for almost 2 years. It is with the school district that my kids are in and I will be in charge of the computer lab! I start that Oct. 16th so I will atleast get a month in to be home with my baby and then my mother in law will be taking care of her. Im so thankful so I don't have to have some stranger watch her.

pretty soon.................

Prayers answered!!!

Well....after a horrible episode on wednesday....I just recieved a call from the Phoenix PD that they had located one of our 2 vehicles that got stolen. Our 2001 GMC Sonoma is what they recovered....They took the rims and tires, tunnel cover for bed of truck, a broken driver side window, and the rear quarter panel is dented, and the glove box is empty.

Im glad we have hope that our other vehicle will be found also. We have a rental car for 3 weeks. Our other vehicle is a 2005 Dodge Durango. Hopefully they didn't take it to Mexico. That is the one that we are concerned about being the insurance will only cover blue book price, NOT what we owe on it. We will definately have to come out of pocket.

Hopefully it will be found........

just when I thought things were going smooth......

2006-08-16T15:17:43Z

This shit sucks............

I send my hubby off to work and BOTH vehicles are gone from our driveway....... STOLEN.

But what are the chances of leaving your keys (ladies im sure you've done this) thinking you tossed them in your purse and them not making it, grabbing some groceries and going into your house. Well thats what I belive I did. I can't find my keys anywhere in my house. We already made the stolen police report and called our insurance. we have full coverage but someway somehow I know we will still be screwed. We had to scramble this morning to get our kids to school, they need to be drivin becuase we enrolled them in the new school where we will be moving to. And of course get on the phone to find rides for them after school....Is is MONDAY today????
Hopefully we can get a rental car delivered to us........

In other news my hubby is worried that I would go into labor as I was bawling my head off becuase it's my fault the vehicles are gone...I had my 36 week check up yesterday and I am already 2cm dialated and could go at anytime....so of course now I would have to call a taxi to get to the hospital.....and of course...they have our garage door openers which my hubby unplugged so I don't think they will work, and then of course our house keys, so he is right now getting the locks re-keyed. It still is very scary knowing somone had your keys to everything...even our mailbox =/
We just found out from the police that we live 5 houses down from the biggest thives in our area....and this is a new development....this makes me soooo sick.

The Blog of a wife with a cheating husband...

2006-07-17T17:04:07Z

So....things are going good here on the home front....nothing new...Im so ready to have my baby girl, but I don't think that she is =( O well, the longer she bakes, the better she will be!!

Anyways....

I can upon this blog of this lady that just found out her husband is cheating on her with her supposedly "best friend" I feel so sorry for her, but this lady sure knows how to get revenge. She bought a bill board and posted an awesome message to him...

You have to check it out!!

http://thatgirlemily.blogspot.com/2006/07/this-photo-is-what-ive-been-talking.html

Apparently she has more things up her sleeve to humiliate (sp*) him.
It would be so awful to be in her shoes........

Im here!!!

2006-06-20T17:37:02Z

Everything is going just dandy!!!

I had my baby shower a few weeks ago and it turned out awesome!!! Lots of family, friends, fun and food!! the 4 "f's" I think I am all set for this little one =) I just put together the swing and her travel system, I have clothes, diapers, bouncer, bassinett, I am well prepared!!! It is getting exciting...only 11 more weeks, which should go by super duper fastbecuase of our schedule with our kids and the other parents we get them every other week so our weeks kinda go by twos'....I don't know how to explain it.....

Our new house is all up and ready for stucco and for the dry wall inside....Thank goodness we sold our first house already...I just need to find somewhere for my mom to go since she was renting it from us for a while...that is NOT an easy task. Im kind of stuck in the middle on that situation but I have to do whats best, and we NEEDed to get that house off of our hands and money in the bank for good financing......We are going to put up this house that we live in now for sale sometime in July, we have a prespective buyer but that could always change...but we decided to get rid of both and concentrate on our bigger, better house in the works. I can't wait!!! Hopefully it will be ready sometime in October so we could have our First holidays Thanksgiving and Christmas with our new arrival in our new house!!! That'd be the best =)

I am planning on going back to work after the baby but she is going to be atleast 3 months...I would need to find something like 2nd shift so my honey can be home with the baby in the evening while I go to work and we don't have to pay for daycare, plus I really don't want a stranger taking care of her.....Im thinking at a really neat store so I could get Discounts too!!!! I just need something to pay the little bills, will BIG bills like electric, and phone, water, those peddly bills that you can NEVER get rid of.

anyways enough rambling...... Be back soon!!!!

Growing up soooo Fast!!

2006-06-02T20:12:43Z

My baby boy has graduated today =( Thank goodness its only Kindergarten! They grow up so fast........it is amazing.

Congratulations SON!!!!

Wedding pics

2006-05-17T18:20:26Z

The others are on my previous post. Different ones =)

Hopefully I did this correctly. I will get better...someday!!

http://wmg.photobucket.com/widgets/dynamicflash.php?featuretype=bucketstrip&featurename=WeddingSept06&pa=/v731/Crystaliscious/

Can someone help me???

2006-05-17T17:22:44Z

I want to post more pics of my wedding but my flickr account is used up....I have a photo bucket account, and I tried to post them from there but I can't use an LJ cut. and I don't want to clog your pages with pics.....

and ideas of how to post them???

IM soooo EXCITED!!!

2006-05-16T19:04:57Z

We finally got our wedding pictures!!! See them here!!!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/crystal__03/
Im happy that we finally got them, hell, its been since September that we got married. What sucks is we just got all 500 hundred on 2 CD's so WE have to print the ones that we want which I guess is fine with me....$300.00 later =/ They came out beautiful. I haven't uploaded the other CD yet with the family photos in front of the arch and all but I will def. post them when I do. My CD drive is all "jacked-up" and I have to fight with it to read so yeah...it will take some time. But Im so happy to have something!!

Everything has been going smooth.....well my hubby got a second job since im not working at the moment, he says Im more valuable here at the house with 4 kids and all. It is only going to be temporary until we move into our new house which will be after the baby is born. It will be tough for us since he will only be home a few hours after work, to take a nap and to eat, but I will just have to "suck it up" and know that it is for a good cause. I've had a couple of emotional issues lately but what do you expect from a pregnant wife!

The house, it is framed with the roof!! Im so excited to see something instead of dirt =) Ughhh...I can't wait....

My pregnancy is going nice, she is a mover alright! It makes me happy to feel her kick because then I know she is OK!! I get pains down below like some one kicked me in between my legs but I know its just her laying low. Its very uncomfortable but thats the joys of being preggo!

Any ways....I have been on this computer almost all darn day and need to get the house in order for when my hubby comes home.

Mothers day poem

2006-05-11T16:35:16Z

This is long, and I never usually pass this stuff along, but this is really sweet, made me cry of course - lol............ I may not be around to share this with you on that very special day for us!!

This is for the mothers who have sat up all night with sick toddlers in
their arms, wiping up barf laced with Oscar Mayer wieners and cherry
Kool-Aid saying, "It's okay honey, Mommy's here."

Who have sat in rocking chairs for hours on end soothing crying
babies who can't be comforted.

This is for all the mothers who show up at work with spit-up in their hair
and milk stains on their blouses and diapers in their purse.

For all the mothers who run carpools and make cookies and sew
Halloween costumes. And all the mothers who DON'T.

This is for the mothers who gave birth to babies they'll never see.
And the mothers who took those babies and gave them homes.

This is for the mothers whose priceless art collections are hanging
on their refrigerator doors.

And for all the mothers who froze their buns on metal bleachers at football
or soccer games instead of watching from the warmth of their cars, so
that when their kids asked, "Did you see me, Mom?" they could say, "Of
course, I wouldn't have missed it for the world," and mean it.

This is for all the mothers who yell at their kids in the grocery store
and swat them in despair when they stomp their feet and scream for ice
cream before dinner. And for all the mothers who count to ten instead, but
realize how child abuse happens.

This is for all the "GOD-MOTHERS" who tried, but could not have children,
so accepted all children as her own!

This is for all the mothers who sat down with their children and explained
all about making babies. And for all the (grand)mothers who wanted
to, but just couldn't find the words.

This is for all the mothers who go hungry, so their children can eat.

For all the mothers who read "Goodnight, Moon" twice a night for a year.
And then read it again. "Just one more time."

This is for all the mothers who taught their children to tie their shoelaces
before they started school. And for all the mothers who opted for Velcro
instead.

This is for all the mothers who teach their sons to cook and their daughters
to sink a jump shot.

This is for every mother whose head turns automatically when a little voice
calls "Mom?" in a crowd, even though they know their own offspring are at
home -- or even away at college.

This is for all the mothers who sent their kids to school with stomach aches
assuring them they'd be just FINE once they got there, only to get calls
from the school nurse an hour later asking them to please pick them up
right away.

This is for mothers whose children have gone astray, who can't find the
words to reach them.

For all the mothers who bite their lips until they bleed when their 14 year
olds dye their hair green.

For all the mothers of the victims of recent school shootings, and the
mothers of those who did the shooting. For the mothers of the survivors,
and the mothers who sat in front of their TVs in horror, hugging their child
who just came home from school, safely.

This is for all the mothers who taught their children to be peaceful, and
now pray they come home safely from a war.

What makes a good Mother anyway?

Is it patience?

Compassion?

Broad hips?

The ability to nurse a baby, cook dinner, and sew a button on a shirt, all
at the same time?

Or is it in her heart?

Is it the ache you feel when you watch your son or daughter disappear down
the street, walking to school alone for the very first time?

The jolt that takes you from sleep to dread, from bed to crib at 2 A.M. to
put your hand on the back of a sleeping baby?

The panic, years later, that comes again at 2 A.M. when you just want to
hear their key in the door and know they are safe again in your home?

Or the need to flee from wherever you are and hug your child when you
hear news of a fire, a car accident, a child dying?

The emotions of motherhood are universal and so our thoughts are for young
mothers stumbling through diaper changes and sleep deprivation... and
mature mothers learning to let go.

For working mothers and stay-at-home mothers.

Single mothers and married mothers.

Mothers with money, mothers without.

This is for you all. For all of us. Hang in there.

In the end we can only do the best we can.

Tell them every day that we love them.

And pray.

Please pass along to all the Moms in your life.

"Home is a mother's heart that catches you when you fall - and we all fall."

2006-04-19T15:09:00Z

I forgot to add this on my previous post!!

Im alive!!!

2006-04-19T15:07:52Z

I haven't been around much lately....and I have no idea why?? Maybe becuase I don't have enough interesting things to talk about....who knows.....

Anyways...Today is a special day!! In about 8 hours I will be in my doctors office getting an ultrasound done =) Hopefully my bundle of joy will cooperate and we will find out what my baby is. Whenever I talk I always refer to "he" So we shall see if my instincts are correct. I get to take a CD or VHS tape to get it recorded which is cool. With my other 2 babies I wasn't able too. Technology??!! We have our names picked out already
Girl: Eliahna Monet` (E-lee-ah-nah)
Boy : Giovanni Angel his middle name is better sounding together in spanish.

Anyways.......

I have pictures from easter that I would like to post but I don't know how to do a "lj cut" so I guess I wil keep them to myself. =(

I did go to the Phoenix Zoo with my sons kindergarten class last Thursday. That was pretty fun!! I guess its mating season or somethin' becuase you know those gallapagos tortesis (*sp) were getting it on. It was the craziest thing that I have seen. THe male looked quite evil and every time he "stuck" her he made a awful sounding noise and like pushed her head down and was just crazy. I have read up on LJ cuts so I could show you guys what I mean with pictures.
THat is about it, nothing exciting......Hopefully my day goes by fast to go to the Dr.
I have alot i have to get done today....laundry...bank....buy a VHS tape and get ready to pick kiddies up from school and go to the docs.

I will let you all know tomorrow the news!!

Try it! Its FUN!!

A New ME!!!

2006-03-02T15:41:09Z

After my "poor me" episode the other day, I talked to my husband on the phone and started balling about myself......he was cxalm at first and tried to make me feel better which worked, but then once I was fine, then he goes off on me that I can change the way I feel, Im the one that put myself in that position, blah, blah, blah.....I just set the phone down while he lectured me......for 20 minutes. He finally said, "im home now, I will talk to you inside." By then I had went into my little shell and didn't speak to him.........He knew right away what he did. I was not looking to be lectured at, I wanted him to be sensitive to my feelings which he was at first, but then got carried away.......... He apologized and jsut held me. I told him I just wanted him to listen like a friend not drill me. Hopefully he has learned for next time =) Later that evening he insisted I go get my hair cut. It is getting summer time and here in Arizona it can reach into the triple digits =/ and I style it really pretty down but a 1/2 hour later it is up in a clip or some sort of crazy pony tail. So I DID!! I cut off 5 inches!! I really do like my hair short....I can do much more with it. I also lightened it up just a bit to.....I feel much better!!

Tomorrow, after my last baby leaves which is around 6ish he is going to take me shopping at Arizona Mills Mall to go the the Motherhood Maternity store and buy me a few outfits! I was searching on their online store and they have some really cute, stylish clothing and not tooo expensive. THis mall is more of an "outlet" mall too so Im hoping I can get some deals then I can get more clothes. It's been 6 years since I had to buy maternity clothes and boy do they have a better selection these days. and of course back then we didn't have money to spend on "special" clothes. What can I say....I didn't have a decent job.

Anyways....Im thankful for what I have now and have no worries about bills getting paid and a roof over our head or food on the table.

On another note......We have still not recieved our Wedding Pictures. I have been VERY upset about that. We got married September 3, 2005. Can you belive that??? We have tried several times to contact the photographer and NOTHING.........They are posted on the web but they are copyrighted and we can't save them to our computer. THat really sucks ass.....
My husband says that If for some reason we can't get them that he would "re-create" our wedding and just take pics again. That is a very kind idea but it will be expensive.....we spent $15,000 on our wedding and there is NO way that we could do it again or that it would be the same. I don't know what to do..........at least we didn't give her any money =)

Ok....I best get going.......I can go on....and on....and on......but I will save it for another day

Have a happy Thursday

Dilema......dilema..........

2006-02-28T20:58:27Z

I feel soooo "frumpy" these days.......

I don't know what I could do about it. My tummy is growing that I can't fit into my regular clothes. Jeans, shorts, nothing. And all my shirts are too small now. I have a few pairs of yoga type pants but Im getting tired of wearing those. I want to go out and buy maternity clothes (they have really cute clothes) but then again I really am not big enough to "fill" them in quite yet. At night I wear my husbands boxer brief undies and one of his t-shirts. I don't get "dressed" everyday because I work here at home. I feel it is a waste of product to do my hair and to put make-up on if I am at home....ya know? And besides that stuff is NOT cheap to just waste. My hair is down to the middle of my back and all I do is just put it in a pony tail or up in a clip and my hair is wavy so that makes it worse. I either have to make it straight with an iron or put gel and spray to make it curly. But for what....its not like we do much during the week anyways. I am so frustrated at myself =( Well even on the weekends we go out alot when we don't have our kids but I just feel I look the same EVERY single time. Im not really fashionable with make-up an all either. I never really got into using eye shawdow with the eye liner and blush and all that. I guess I was always kind of plain. I buy it now and put it on but I take it right back off because I think I look funny. I was just telling my husband that I want to do something "different" with my hair. Cut it, color it, but then again I don't really what. He is supporting me with that but now that I am pregnant as well, I heard that it is NOT safe to put chemicals in your hair.

anyways.......i don't know....maybe this is just a phase........

So much is goin on......

2006-02-27T15:57:48Z

I thought I would update you all.....

My first trimester is just about over and my feeling to eat every hour or else I will be nauseaus is over and I am not so tired anymore. THank Goodness!! We haven't found out what our baby is yet. I have a dr. appt. on March 13th. I don't know if they are going to do an ultra sound then or wait till my fourth month. I am really anxious to find out. I am showing already compared to my first 2 pregnancies...all my family thinks that I am having TWINS.....I would be in a mental institution if I did. Our vehicle does not have the capacity to hold 2 more babies. I would literally go nuts!! We have one empty spot and that is taken. I said we would need to buy a short bus =)

They should begin "ground-break" on our house any day now. It has been sent out to construction like 2 weeks ago. I really hope it is done by the time our baby comes in September. We all could use the extra space.

We had my sons 6th birthday party a few weeks ago. Madagascar Party. He finally got his game boy he has been wanting since christmas. and I finally got the chance to take him to Game Stop to spend his birthday money. He bought 3 gameboy games....he acutally made out pretty good!!

All in all things have been going smoothly .....oh wait......My hubby knows how much I love Keith Sweat (R&B, slow love music artist) so we went to see him in concert the weekend after Valentine's! that was his present to me. Oh my gosh is was very fun. That is something we have never done in our realtionship so it was something new to the both of us. It was freakin' cold out though. He is getting old so they had it outside of this big casino "Fort McDowell" I just was dancing in my space me and my man and I wasn't that bad. It was fun times!! I was retarted and didn't take my camera which I kick myself in the ass for but I have it stored in my brain!!

Ok...see what happens when I don't post for a while....I go crazy with everything that has happend since the last =)

These babies here are going nuts I have to get going!!!

My kids!!!

2006-02-03T19:50:03Z

OK guys......This is probably my first time posting a pic on my blog so I will get better. with sizing my pics.

Anyways.....starting from the left is my Step daughter Briana she is 11, my step niece she is 9, my daughter Daleah she is 7, my step son Gabriel he is 8 and my son Santana which is 7.

I finally got a digi cam as I said before and hopefully will get better at this and be able to do "cuts" and all those cool things.

Our new house

2006-02-02T20:55:25Z

If you are interested here is the link to see the layout of our house we are having built. we did change the den to a 5th bedrm with full bath and enclosed the 3rd garage into an office!

http://www.santaannahomes.com/fp830.html

Today and tomorrow........

2006-02-01T12:55:36Z

will be the longest days of my L.I.F.E.

I have my babies I watch and well of course the pretty little girl will be here till 6, that is the usual. The other 3 boys will be here from 7 - 7 {cringes} Thier mom is out of town so the dad is going to drop them off and pick them up when he gets out of work. It wouldn't be so bad but sometimes these boys can be a huge handful, the baby who is 8 months whines alot becuase he is used to being held, the 2 yr. old, well he will sit and listen but when his 4 yr. old brother gets involved he is a mess. The oldest one starts trouble and teaches the younger one how to misbehave. My corners will definately get used in my house!!

In other news,

My dr. appt went great. I just talked with the nurse about diet, exercise (which im not doing, shame on me) medications, and take tons of blood. So much has changed from when I had my second child. All the different test that they do now though out your pregnancy is insane. I was all confused =)
I see the real dr. on February and Im sure that will be a bit more extensive.

More news,

our house is coming along great, we finally picked all of our options and our paperwork finally is complete and get sent out. Hopefully they will break ground within february. They said 8 -10 months to build, but with no rain here for a 100 and some days we are looking around 8 months which will be great becuase I am 2 months today!!

Anyways I must leave my princess girl should be getting here any minute....

catch you all later!!

Oh My...........where to begin

2006-01-24T18:52:13Z

A lot has happend within the last time that I posted....

*I finally go to my first drs. appt. on thursday to do bloodwork and all that nasty stuff, I think I am 7 weeks along already!! that is crazy...

*We picked out all of our options interior/exterior for our new house...and let me tell you, it all adds up. it is crazy for everything that they charge for but it will be beautiful in the end. They are going to break ground probably around 30 days and there is 8-10 month build time....I am already anxious to get out of this little one.

*My wonderful husband has finally bought me a digital camera. Its a Kodak easy share Z730 5.0 mp and 4x optical zoom. I don't really know much about them I just wanted something no less then 5.0 mp that could take pictures with zoom. Not too much to ask for. He even bought me a carrying case, with an 128mb photo card to hold more pictures. It was a good deal at Best Buy =)

Now my life is complete!! New house, 2005 dodge durango, baby on the way, 4 kids already, 2 nice looking english bulldogs, a computer, all in one printer fax, scanner thingy, and a digital camera!! Most of all MY HUSBAND who makes all of this possible!!

Have a wonderful day all!!

Update!!

2006-01-11T13:29:06Z

We got approved for the house full price. We can sell the other two houses at our leisure, which is awesome news. We are going to make the third car garage with the bonus room option because...........

our family is officaly going to extend.....I am pregnant!!! I took a pregnancy test last night and couldn't belive it...I even called my neighbor over and I did the other one this morning just to be sure...and yes indeed. Now I think a 5 bdrm house with a bonuse room should do us just fine!! Lets see what comes first now....the house or the baby!!!

Im am extremly excited!!!

Im here!! Im here!!!

2006-01-05T13:52:28Z

first of all I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Years!!!

Its been how long .....I know!! I've been extremely busy with L.I.F.E.

* IF you don't know...Here in Phoenix, AZ they are building houses like crazy...the real estate market has boomed and it is nuts....I think they said like there are 500 hundred people moving to Phx, AZ everyday...isn't that amazing...mostly from California but from every where else as well. Anyways....we bought this house that Im in in December of 04 and we moved in July of '05 it is a new build. within that time frame our house gained 40,000 in equity. just to give you an idea. So anyways...yeah it is a new house and very nice my and my hubby got a wild hair up our ass and now we are looking into another house. We have 4 kids combined and this house is a normal 3bdrm/2bth. nothing fance...well....it is enough space for us all but at times it does get a little cramped...so we are looking into a 5bdrm/ 3 bath house....It is an awesome floorplan....single story, with a formal living and dining area. We talked to our realitor yesterday and went to the development. We are gonna look at the model on Saturday in a different development becuase at that site the models aren't even built yet. That is how new it is. We are going to sell our rental and sell this house to put down on the new house because it is a bit of expensive, but with (we are hopeing) with 70,000 down that will put us in the position we are in now! And if for some reason we don't qualify we still have this new one!!! so...that is our project for this year....if all goes will the time frame for new builds is 8-10 months. which I could live with.

* on another note, I have to start working out again starting this monday...I am feeling very crapy and I need to lose some belly fat and tone my thighs by summer. Our friends want to go to Rocky Point this summer for vacation and I have to get workin' on ME. My husband has already started. He goes to LA fitness I unfortunatlly dont have time to go to the gym. I can do it at home its not that hard for me. I do Denise Austin workout that comes on the Lifetime channel at 5:30 am which I get up at 5 to send my hubby off to work and I have the get my kids up at 6 to get ready for school. So that works our wonderful for me.

Anyways....I have to get ready to take the kids to school...i will keep you all posted on my house deal...

Have a good day all!!!

Christmas Shopping

2005-12-23T16:27:07Z

Today I have a day off from watching my babies....Thank Goodness. I needed a break!!

I am going to fight the people and traffic and get some last minute shopping done. Im not too trilled but hopefully if I leave within the next hour it will be early enough to beat the rush. Im sure alot of people take the day off, especially with it being on a friday.

I'll be back soon

EXtremely busy.....

2005-12-21T19:03:53Z

My goodness....every day is very challenging.

I've been baby sitting all day and then in the evening I clean. My 4 kids are on winter break so today I have 7 children. Im suprised I still have my hair! They do help out alot but sometimes it can get VERY loud in here. It will be lunch time soon and then they will ALL take a nap which will give me some piece and quiet for at least a 1/2 hour.

Other news....we finally got our girl bully dog from the pet store. I can't belive we have 3 dogs now. 2 english bulldogs and 1 shih tzu. I have pictures but I don't have a digi cam yet so I have to develop them. Hopefully I will have one under the tree waiting for me on sunday!!!

We also had my sons birthday party this last weekend, it turned out really good. He got a total of $165.00 dollars plus some clothes and a game and a coloring thingy. Thats pretty damn good!! We told him he had to put that towards rent! He will most likely just buy video games with it.

Anyways...I best get going now....there is no noise comeing from my house so I have to see whats goin on.

Have a nice day.
