It's been awhile.
Since the last time I updated, a lot has happened. I lost my job (Livework) this past Thursday, which was extremely unexpected, and unwelcome, but since then, I am just trying to find something else to make a little bit of money to help out.
I also got strep throat. You want to talk about horrendous? From Friday morning to yesterday, I felt absolutely horrid. It even had me crying Saturday evening because it was so bad. I could hardly move, and when I did, my whole body screamed out in pain.
The kids have been on this extremely frustrating kick for the last week. Everyone is acting out, misbehaving, not listening, and I'm almost at my wits end with all of it. First time obedience has obviously not been done since I have been feeling so horrible, and have hardly had any energy to get up off the couch, so I'm pretty sure that's where the problem lies. I will have to take care of this soon before I lose it.
Other than that, Brayden is going in tomorrow morning (prayers PLEASE) for an assessment test to figure out what grade he will be going into this year. We are hoping and praying for fourth, as that's where he is supposed to be. Please pray for favor.

Wow, been almost a week!
I guess I never realized how hard it is to keep up with blogging! I never feel like I really have a minute to breathe, let alone even think about blogging!
A lot has happened over the last few days. Jason got a tooth pulled, Nathanael was sick, and now Isaac seems to be feeling a little crummy. Working on getting Brayden re-enrolled into school, which I'm not looking forward to, but it's the best for both of us, honestly.
I've been really upset lately about Brayden's dad. We haven't even heard from him in over 6 months now, which is the longest time that he's gone, consecutively, without so much as a phone call. He had a baby boy in October 2010, and his baby's mom is fairly controlling, so she's not allowing him to have any contact with Brayden. She knew he had two other kids when she got with him, so I don't understand why him having contact with his kids has now become a problem, but that's fine. He owes over $7,000 to his ex-wife, for child support on his 6 year old.
Anyway, it pains me to know that my son has a crappy father. Please excuse my crap-talking, but this is really the only place that I can do it. Read no further if you wish. My son deserves so much better than that. He's 9 1/2 years old, and entering the most important part of his life, when he's going to need that male role model. Thank God Jason stepped up to the plate 5 years ago, and can take care of that. He's a good role model to him for how a father should be, and how hard a man should be willing to work for his family. He instills a good work ethic, and has taught Brayden to do POSITIVE things that he really enjoys doing, like drawing, and building things. One of these days, probably fairly soon, Brayden is going to have questions for his dad, and they are most likely going to be fairly painful questions to answer - thank God I won't be the one that has to answer them. Brayden is already saying things like "I'll believe it when I see it" and "My daddy won't do it." He already knows that his daddy never follows through with what he says he's going to do. It hurts me even more that when Shaun stopped calling/talking to Brayden, the rest of the family followed in his foot steps. Brayden does not talk to anyone, or have contact with anyone on his daddy's side of the family. I really wish it weren't this way, but unfortunately, they have proven to be that they have better things to do, so now, I must take my role as mommy, and let everyone know that they will no longer make my child feel like he is not important. They will no longer make him feel like someone else is better than him. They will no longer make him feel like he isn't worth it, and they will no longer play any significant role in his life. They lost that privilege 6 months ago when they dropped him. I only hope that someday, Brayden will realize that no matter what that side of the family did, he is an amazing person, and we are raising him the best way we know how, and I only hope that me teaching him to follow God, will be enough to replace his earthly sperm donor.
Anyway, I worked really hard today, and I need to continue to do so for the next few hours. We're in for a full day Saturday, so I need to get as much work done as I can, so that I can afford to take Saturday off, which will be nice!
