It seems after the weekend with all the kids she and I just need some quiet time.. With out the noise and the CONSTANT movement lol<br /><br />I had promised her her own room and today she scored.. Check out face book for the pics...She was so thrilled to have her own ideas come to fruition and it looks good.............. Ok Ok she copied the example, but still for her it ownership...<br /><br />Owner ship is a funny thing we all like "it" but in different ways... I like ownership in my home it's my home, my things, things I want there...Matt has been so good. Matt could care less what I do to the house... It's just we are not going to be her long, maybe 2 years. We need more space and rooms for three teenage girls... so to spend a ton to get it perfect is not the best idea. Save the perfectness for when I build right .. building a hose will be a chore I KNOW!! but still Kim can at least hold my hand.<br /><br />"Its" getting better for me I guess here in my city I don't think I will have ownership here ever... Especially out and about but at home with my family I can ...... Its all me and my life the way I live it at home.. Today I used my maiden name its feels right still..Abby, I think likes it.. But at the same time she will say her name is Abby D**** R******<br /><br />I'm most comfortable at home these days It seems when I go out I get 1. digested 2. mad 3. dis heartened so for now I will go out to do what I need to but will stick close to home...<br /><br />I have a girl appointment in the am with a new Dr. we will see how that goes...<br /><br />7 weeks to Paris I cant wait!!!.....Any shopping ideas for me ??Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04900648057994135697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6160503830869473151.post-14221614628328660812010-07-14T08:13:00.000-07:002010-07-14T08:22:49.862-07:00today1)Having lunch with Matthew today.. thats goood<br /><br />2)Abby is going over for a play date with a little girl in her primary class and attends her school...Oh this is the "EX" BFF lol<br /><br />3) And even better the local s.i.l. had "words" with me...

I hate living in a town that is this small and everybody knows the players and their choices in my life... They know the good the bad of them all... I can NEVER tell my story.. Every time I do its "Oh ya your the NEW wife" or " your the DR. wife" or "Wow your fast I heard about this the other day"<br /><br />Yesterday I was talking to a member of our ward whom I will work with a lot in my new calling and as I as giving here a BRIEF background of Abby and I and TX. SHE started telling me about my life now and the struggles I WILL have and how she knows the whole story from Matt's EX wife....... and btw there are good friends.....Everybody always has something to say about my life. I go by my maiden name around town now, its just easier that way...but that will only last so long..<br /><br />If your asking me ...I'm happy very Happy but there are things that I'm struggling with...<br /><br />I'm living in a fish bowl and have no were to look for friends or help..... and to top it all off I'm one day 2 of phase one of South Beach<br /><br />How do I find my wayLisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04900648057994135697noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6160503830869473151.post-76242165380968495212010-03-10T11:59:00.000-08:002010-03-10T12:08:55.491-08:00Achievement DaysSo yesterday Abby went to Achievement days for the first time !!<br /><br />...

We are important to God not because of our <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">resume</span> but because we are His children. He loves every one of us, even those who are flawed, rejected, awkward, sorrowful, or broken. God's love is so great that He loves even the proud, the selfish, the arrogant, and the wicked."What this means is that, regardless of our current state, there is hope for us. No matter our distress, no matter our sorrow, no matter our mistakes, our infinitely compassionate Heavenly Father desires that we draw near to Him so that He can draw near to us."

She gets tested she barley qualifies but <strong>OK good</strong> she can get some help!!!<br /><br />They plan the meeting for this AM.... <em><strong>I COMPLETELY FREAKING FORGOT</strong></em> !! What kind of mommy am I???<br /><br />How embarrassing "Ya I was not there,,, I was at Target" BAB BAD MOMMY!!<br /><br />What was I even thinking... I actually thought for like two weeks I could plan a wedding HA Ya that lasted two weeks. I'm glad I'm already married Could you imagine my life If I was trying to plan a wedding right now.<br /><br />Matthew comes down every week on Wednesday or Thursday, spends a day or two depending.... so I can finish my work week, than I drive back up to Joplin with him. (5 hrs) Spend the weekend than I fly home Sunday at 6 from Tulsa ( which is 1 1/2 hrs from our home in Joplin) We spend allot of time in the car. I only have 16 Sunday flight to go...<br /><br />PS: If you want to hear a very sad girl boo hoo about everything under the sun, Call me at 8 pm on Sunday after I get home and miss Matthew and know I have 3 or 4 days until I get to see him!! Some first 6 months of marriage ha!

And realizing some things about your self good or bad... maybe discovering some things you thought you lost forever or re-find-ing some things from the past that were missing.

The first of everything new.. First Christmas without, first splitting up of time on Holidays, Birthday and so on. But I (we) made it. I am SO proud of Abby!! She has done well. I think for her the hardest time was in the beginning after we moved and recently. Garth was in Canada for awhile and she<strong> really</strong> missed him and the whole Utah family trip made her really sad. But she is a trooper and at this point I'm pretty honest with her. About <strong>my</strong> limits as a single mom and about about Garth's ( not those details she is to young ) limits. The <span><span>main </span></span>thing is I am committed to raising a healthy kid who learns <span>resilients</span> young... bit by bit. Garth and I are committed to do the best for her, and most of the time we are on the same page. I am thankful for that!!! </span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">This year will be full of new things for her. Abby will be meeting Garth's new wife Angie and stepdaughter Nicole.

Ya people your looking at a pool on<strong> top</strong> of a HUGE mountain in Utah. Its an infinity pool so you feel like your going to fall off. It was such a nice trip Were else do you see Lambs eating a house, real Chipmunks (non talking ones) Horses, run from a Hot tub, Pool,Trampoline, and your very own park..It was like Utah adventure land<div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04900648057994135697noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6160503830869473151.post-29366035502732765202009-09-09T20:22:00.000-07:002009-09-10T11:36:49.338-07:00I knew she was smartToday while talking to Abby about the Health Care issues in terms she can understand it. ( I am a prime example of the working class that pays private insurance that is HORRIBLE AND IS SOOO EXPENSIVE) She had the answer.. "Meme you should have you pay what you can with your job monies.. you know like you can pay $1:99" Love it.<br /><br />Its hard to know what to do with the health care mess. I see it from so many points<br />1)My own situation going from great insurance to HORRIBLE and NOT but my choice. I did not chose to change or loss my coverage.. I have the same job live in the same place... and I am the sole head of Household.. I need to be healthy<br />2) Watching my mom deal with disability and soon Medicare she takes 15 Rx a day<br />3) Watching and dealing with the medical office insurance payments.<br />4) Being (soon) a medical professional.<br /><br />I always get a sick feeling when I hear that people can get tummy tuck because they don't like the C section scare they got when THEY decided to have the C section in the first place.. Or Having to spend $300 on Asthma RX a month... Or having to watch the amount of medicine you give so you can stretch out the RX so you don't have to pay another Co-Pay.. No child or Adult should ever have to go with out affordable, competent <strong>timely</strong> medical coverage....<br />I do not have the right answer I do not think anyone does...But something must be done.<br /><br />PS: DO you know that the only free insurance coverage I can get is Birth Control we all know how funny that isLisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04900648057994135697noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6160503830869473151.post-13627598420521163752009-09-03T08:32:00.000-07:002009-09-03T08:38:42.861-07:00grrrgrrr....

We both made it. ( I have not picked her up yet) I did get little chocked up while dropping her off in the classroom but I sucked it all UP. She was very glad the teacher needed a helper to pass out some pencils, Abby of course was very willing to help.<br /><br />I had a good day in Statistics maybe because we only went over the syllabus, but still It was a good start.<br /><br />I had the strangest reaction while in the Library printing out the class note.. I had a rush of panic and anxiety. It took me a second to realize where it was coming from. It was the knowledge that for two of my hardest semester while I studied until 10pm in the library twice a week, Garth was was using that time to have his affair with Angie. Odd ha? It has been almost two years since I caught him, but man it hit me out of the blue. Oh well I was able to quickly put it into prospective of the trail and move on. It fascinating what emotion your brain can bring up at any given moment. Two years ago for <strong>months </strong>my life was a anxiety/panic attack 24/7.... Man I have come so far...but always reaching forward to be a little better...<br /><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;">PS: What today's incident proved to me was I ''may" never get over the betrayal of my husband having a affair right under my nose for over a year, but what I can do is deal with the pain little by little and continue to move on to a better place. I have some really good friends and family to thank for all there help...What would I have done with out you??</span></em>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04900648057994135697noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6160503830869473151.post-74122559663850472632009-08-23T17:42:00.000-07:002009-08-23T18:00:28.886-07:00Let me just have a bragging momentOK Its 7:43 pm the Night before Abby starts Second grade, Let me just tell you how good she is<br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="color:#cc0000;">1) She is out like a light she has been out about 15 min. </span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#cc0000;">2) Once she is asleep I can have the door open, light on in the room and I can watch TV and she will stay asleep. This is a mandatory thing since we share a room</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#cc0000;">3) She picked/set out her cloths for the first day. Now this is not one of the few new outfits I got her for the new school year. This outfits includes white carpi's purchased this summer and a black and white geometrical shirt that is a hand me down from her cousin Sara <em><strong>and</strong></em> Hannah. This shirt will "help me remember my family at school". Look for the pic tomorrow.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#cc0000;">4) <em>She</em> brushed out her hair!! so in the morning it won't be an "angry mess" and we can get to school quickly so she can help her little friend, who is a friend from church but will be new to her school this year.</span></div><br />She is just the best girl ever!! Is <strong>she</strong> personally excited to go back to school ?? No not really. When we were driving home from church she commented how everyday kept asking her about school, she would much rather stay home with me. ;0) Its just "Abby" to be prepared and ready to to do what is asked of her.<br /><br />As for the sleeping thing she is<em> seven</em> and I still credit BABY WISE all the way.. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">She is</span> just a good sleeper<br /><br />Now I start school tomorrow as well... I will be crying the whole way up to school and pout the whole time in class!! and want my MommyLisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04900648057994135697noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6160503830869473151.post-59125937931993690662009-08-19T17:32:00.000-07:002009-08-19T17:45:25.577-07:00New York at a glance<p><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxZ2Wx-QcuYRZwcVVD_dRYdDuvQmb3IX9ER3Mi2IHhEFASjowDH4uaYMO-KVUY67zABiAYkrWjx3i4_2B2OuQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><p> </p><p>OK I hope it works I'm so not Blogger proficient..
