Just added a few pics from the first weekend in Sept. I was unsure if I had Chris's kids on here from labor day so I added them in their little buggies from the zoo. We had another good visit, as usual. Of course, I haven't been allowed to speak to them since they left but the one time I was able to catch them with their step grandfather away from Jeff. So I was happy to hear their little voices and looking forward to seeing them again Friday. Also, got some other stuff pending and praying and hoping that it all comes out and my babies are okay! Thanks for keeping us in the prayers.

If you see the pics from the last month or two that I used my mom's camera to take, you will notice the date stated Jan. 2006. This of course is not the right date. It is all from 2009. Now to figure out how to change this on her camera. LOL.
We had another great weekend this past weekend. Of course, the next two weeks are probably gonna be a pain, as usual. Please keep praying. Thanks.

We'll I am looking forward to seeing my babies this afternoon. However; I am sitting on edge wondering IF there will be something else pop up that will keep them from me. I am so sick of all this drama! Now, there is more crap stewing from Jeff trying to get his new lawyer now to dismiss the present Dr. from our case. ONLY BECAUSE she is doing the job right and sees that there is no problem what so ever. Just another tactic to delay me the right to my babies again! This is so unfair! Presently, I am waiting to see if I will have permission to keep them until Tuesday morning so that I can take them to the Dr. myself, since Jeff doesn't appear to want to abide by the order himself. Oh, and waiting on a motion of contempt, for the 50 millionth time to be issued! This is a nightmare. Somebody wake me up! I so hope that everything goes through and this weekend will be fun.

We have had a most interesting week. Last week Scott had an allergic reaction to something. Of course, his symptoms did not start until time to go to bed for the night. For those of you who don't know Scott what is significant here is that 1. Scott is very cheap, so he doesn't frequent Doctors offices. 2. He also does not like to take medicine 3. We live WAY out in the county, way away from emergency rooms. I call my mother in law who immediatly came down to stay with Rachel while I drove Scott to the ER, it may have been a blessing his throat was closing up so he could not YELL at me for my driving since I can't see good at night! We arrive and since he is having this issue were able to get in pretty quick. That was amazing! Scott was embarrased due to this attention and that now he has broken the streak of never having to go to an ER for treatment in 38 years. I consider that a pretty good record myself. So, they get him all loopy on his oxygen, shots of steroids and benedryl. The nurse asks him who is primary care physician is, and his reply is "Dr. Cooey". Well you see, Dr. Cooey is the OB GYN for the town so we found this quite amusing. He was so loopy he didn't even realize what he said. I told the nurse, he means Dr. Coon, local Doctor. Well the amusement didn't last long because next was a prescription for prednisone. Scott is very hyper anyway and suffers in my opinion from OCD. Well a few days of this prednisone, AKA pill from the devil, he was wide open!!!! Yesterday after work we are sitting in the doctors office to find out if there is a way to stop this medicine and hopefully get him back to health. Unfortunalty, just about all of the 20 + people in the waiting room had the flu, what appears to be swine flu. AHHHH. So, now I am stressed over this as well. Fortunatly he now has a different medicine and was able to drop this prednisone. I sure wish I would have known that night at the ER what that would do so I could beg for something different for him. Now we do know what to add to the list of DO NOT TAKES to Scott's list. He is much better now and hopefully will not have any more reactions. We think we may have narrowed it down to paint. He was painting the door to his shed with oil based latex paint. That may have caused the reaction. We are now equipped with an epi pen as well in case we have any more emergencies out there in the wilderness where we reside. I am looking forward to this weekend to visit with my babies, and the rest of my family. Unfortunatly, since they left from the last weekend visit, I have only spoken to them about 2 minutes all week. Jeff is on this kick again about NOT letting them talk to me on the phone since we finally got to start seeing the children in MS. I also have a tentative court date of Sept. 22nd. So please everybody keep us in your prayers. I hope this nightmare is over soon.

We had a most excellent visit this past weekend with the children at our home, FINALLY! Jeff tried to stop our visit Friday by retaining a new lawyer at the last minute trying to interfere and stop the visit from occuring. Fortunatly, prayers were answered and my babies came to our home and we enjoyed the weekend. Elaina even fell back into her routine of climbing up in Scott's lap like she used to and talking to him. We had full days of games, watching Bedtime Stories on DVD while munching on the movie popcorn that they love so well. We had an awesome time Saturday night with Gran, Big Daddy, and our friends and thier children Tara, Ronny, Gage, and Gabby with a cookout and marshmallow roast. The weather was perfect! Sunday we enjoyed church and since the children had not been to Oxford in so long they wanted to go there for lunch. We went to Papitos and had a great time there as well. The children didn't seem to want to leave us. My heart broke Saturday night when Garett had tears in his eyes and said to me, "momma, I don't want to leave." It is so hard to see your babies hurting!!! Elaina captured a turtle and let it free Saturday night. They both enjoyed their rooms again, and it was like Christmas because they came across so many of their belongings that they forgot that they had here. I sent all of the toiletries in Garett's bathroom back with him. He wanted to take them back because he said he didn't have any at his dad's. Also, he needed some for PE at school and his daddy wouldn't buy him deodarant or soap to take with him. This was really disheartening, but I loaded him up with everything he needed including the facial cleansers and astringents that he began to use again this weekend. He told me he hasn't cleansed his face in over a year. I was like, "what"???? He told me not since he left Mississippi. I love them so much and enjoyed the visit. I can't wait to see them again Labor Day Weekend. Here are some pics from our visit.

Well yesterday was the first time in almost a year that Scott and the children have been in the same room!!! It is a shame it has taken this long to make this happen, but I know in the end the truth will come out and this will hopefully all be behind us. The visit went well and I think it actually went better than all of us had anticipated that it would. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that this is a good thing, we are all smiles today in high hopes for continued progress. The children are with mom and dad today and dad is taking them to St. Charles today I believe to a museum or something to get out and about. I will joing them after work today.... I love them so much. I hope everyone is having a good day and has a good weekend.

It has been a while since my last post, as usual. I have added some more pictures. Just a couple from the Memorial Day get together at my house, my visit to my cousin Kristy's house, and my niece's brunch and birdseed party for her upcoming wedding. We are still hanging in there with all this other drama we are presently coping with in Arkansas. It is hard but the support of my family and friends has been overwhelming and has helped me so much and I appreciate and love each and everyone of you. Please continue to keep us in mind as it is an uphill battle for us all. I have recieved some good news lately and have some hopes of things working out, so hopefully this will come soon. Actually, was rather surprised by some of the response that I have recieved back and it is very positive. Summer is defintely here and it is a hot one in Mississippi. We leave for our trip to Michigan then Canada this Saturday. I am looking forward to this, as you know we do need some vacation time!!! Hopefully, I will be able to post some cool pictures from my trip really soon. I can not blog all that I truly feel because it might come back to haunt me :( Just know that I appreciate you all and love you very much.

Finally posting with Memphis in May pictures. Boy have I gotten behind on some blogging. To much to type so I will sum it up with still dealing with some drama in Arkansas. On the bright side, the kids are out of school for the summer. I love them and miss them so much!!! Pics of Memphis in May at Mud Island as well. The museum was neat. I remember going in 6th grade. I will not mention how long ago that was though.

I have two more weeks of school! Woohoo!!!! I am so ready to be out. Also, Garett and Elaina came over last weekend, yes to Mississippi. We had a really good visit. Of course, we didn't tell them that they were coming before hand because we knew that they would catch some grief over it. They were happy to be here and hopefully it will show in the pics, if I can get them to post. Anyway, still awaiting going to the Dr. to see if we can get some closure on this mess. I do know the children were not afraid to be here and were wanting to come back when they left that Sunday. I miss them so much, please continue to pray for us.

Scott and I went and picked up Meme and Papaw and brought them back to Mississippi for Easter weekend. We had a wonderful visit with them, mom and dad, Chris, Tammy and the children. Only thing missing was Garett and Elaina. I am looking forward to my visit with them next weekend. Please keep us in the prayers as this is an ongoing frustrating time for all of us. At least we finally have an agreement to get the children to a Dr. in Little Rock. I am worried about them and Garett still continues to gain weight. At least now he does communicate with me due to his brand new cell phone he has now, that his daddy bought him, shortly after finding out we are going to LR to the Dr. there for the children. Garett will not talk, but will text, lol. Not unusual these days for children though. On the bright side, I finish school in 3 weeks, Woohoo! I can't wait. You guys are going to hear an outcry big time when I get my degree! Meme and Papaw seemed to have enjoyed the time with us and I am so thankful they were able to come and appear to be doing well. I miss them both so much. I made Papaw a birthday cake for his 85th birthday. It is wonderful to watch the love between them both, I am so blessed to have such a loving family.

What a stressful week in this ongoing battle I have in Arkansas. Last night I was pleased to have a couple of my old high school buddies over for dinner and a visit. I haven't seen them in years so we had lots of catching up to do. This time I think we provided the entertainment for Scott instead of him providing the entertainment for us. I made dinner and then we just relaxed and visited. It really helped me due to what all has been going on lately in my life, I loved the laughs and conversation with my buddies. Now if I can just figure out a way to be 16 again. LOL. We most defintaly have to get together more often. Thank goodness they only live about an hour away. Thanks Lisa and Tacia for the visit and hope to get together again soon.

I haven't updated in a while. Sorry!!!!! Here are some more pics from Christmas, this time at mom and dads. This past weekend Scott and I had a 80's party at the house. It was a great turn out and we had a good time but a few that didn't participate in dressing up or anything. Overall it was fun. We played dance revelotion on the WII and I am not as young as I used to be! In addition to that I fell down our stairs Saturday morning while cleaning house. So I am so extremely sore now, big time. I have enjoyed looking at everyone's posts and updated pics. The kids are all growing so fast. I hope everyone is having a Happy New Year so far. I was soooo glad to see the end of 2008 and am praying for a better year this year.
