Where to start?

I don't even know where to start. So we ended up not going to Florida because my mother in law & I really got into it. Once I confronted her about the whole Casey Anthony thing and how comparing me to her because I want to give my children benadryl because the pediatrician recommended it is NOT cool. It was a huge blow up. She disowned us & then called the next day and I guess re-owned us? LOL.

I told her I didn't want to keep the kids from her and I wanted them to know their grandmother. I wanted to be able to do vacations together because I vacationed w/ my grandma as a kid and have some really good memories. So we decided to drive down to Starved Rock and we stayed at Grizzly Jacks Great Bear Lodge. The kids had a great time at the water park and the jump park. We hiked around starved rock and had dinner in town at a nice restaurant. We rented a townhouse style log cabin and it was a fun time. Ever since the trip my mother in law & I have actually been getting along.

We had our house painted and it looks great. My husband and I have finally settled on an area to move to. We are loving Peotone IL and now we are in a 2-3 year plan. We figure we're going to lose our asses on our house so we need to save $35,000 of our own money for a deposit. So we are saving $1,000 a month and stocking away our income taxes. At least this is our goal. If we are able to actually walk away not owing on our house then we'll have a nest egg.

Amber just started preschool this week. I can't believe my big girl is in school already.

Jackson is doing really well, in to everything!

Amber was sick for the week before her birthday & then the day we came home from Starved Rock she was throwing up & had a fever & the fever lasted for about a week on & off. It was scary. I hate how she gets spiking fevers.

I have been totally slacking on writing my book. I need to do this. I just need to sit down and do this. I am at the point that I don't know what direction I really want this to go and I'm having a hard time so I just stopped but I think I might have a good story to tell so I need to get on with it.
