Well, considering yesterday I was in battle mode I wanted to write how excited I am about today.
I have off from work from both jobs and I am going to spend all day with the kids. I think we will go for a walk on the rail trial and then head to the pool. Sean is working most of the day so I probably won;t get to many pictures but i wanted you all to know that I am not letting my anger consume me.
One day at a time. It really is the only way to live.
Happy 4th of July!!!!!!

The never ending battle.
I have to get this out becaue it is consumming me and I feel as though I am going to explode..I try to keep this off my blog but decided it was time to vent and here I am.
A lot has been going on lately with Faith's mother. I fear for Faith most of all. Right after mothers day Faith was in tears telling me her mother told her to lie to us about where they were living. We have a rule in our house that we never get in trouble for telling the truth only when we lie because it hurts people. So she tells me where they are staying and that she is sleeping on a mattress in a laundry room and because of all the noise she can hardly sleep but when she told her mother she was unhappy she was told there was nothing that could be done about it. Faith tells me she doesn't understand why mommy has bought a laptop and a car if she has no money for a place to live. So I reassured her and told her that I am sure mommy has a plan, and that it will all work out to give it time. Well, Sean and I knew summer was approaching and that means she is supposed to get more time with Faith, but Thankfully this time has to be agreed upon. So Sean wrote to her mother 2x stating that because of the living arrangements he will not agree to any more sleep overs but she can have more time if she wants during the day or in the evening. With this he got 2 letters back stating that he can not change the court order that he visitations is Mon-Wends. and every other weekend. So when the last letter came and she said that she will be picking Faith up anyway we then called our lawyer again and said please break the court order down for her. Please explain what Sean has been maybe she'll understand it from you. Well, last Monday came and they show up 2 hours earlier then they said they were and it starts. The girls were in the bedroom playing so I stayed inside at first then jay stopped by thank god, to drop something off so i told her to go inside with the kids. I walk over to the truck where she and her boyfriend are and Sean is outside of it to hear this nonsense. She feels like Sean is telling her what to do, and that he is keeping Faith from her,that he is out of line with the way that he talks to her. As he told her this is not him telling her what to do it's the courts and he is not agreeing because of these reasons. This fell on deaf ears, and all she kept coming back with is respecting her. This is not about her this is about Faith. (something she will never get) She said she is taking us back to court, please do I beg. Not that we said this but really please show the courts how great of a mom you are,how much you support Faith,how many times you call when she is sick,why you are always late picking her up or dropping her off, and WHY she is sleeping on the floor in a laundry room. I try to say something and she put her hand up (honestly it's the only time Sean yelled) because she has no right telling me to shut up,um hello I am raising your kid because you cannot be bothered. Anyway I decided not to open my mouth not for her sake but Sean's because I would of never shut up because I will never understand how a mother can act this way. In her very last letter she said that her and Sean need to communicate better about Faiths emotional well being. She always says she wants to be friends with him...ugh.. why can't she understand that it's not about her. When the beginning of school came and she insisted on picking Faith up Sean and I both asked if this was about more time with Faith then we will work it out and she said no this is about proving a point that we are following the court order. She could of had Faith on Tues and Thursdays but no she can't be bothered.
When i was younger and dreamed of being married with children I never dreamed of this. I fell in love though, not only with Sean but with Faith. She was the sweetest little thing and was like sunshine walking into a room. I adored her and all the time we spent with her, so did my family. I always told Sean that I did not want to take her moms place though, I want to be what Faith wants me to be and that's it. Well, the day before Sean and I got married Faith looked at me and said i am so happy that you are going to be my step mom can I call you mommy now. I cried. By this time I realized that she needed someone to pick up her moms slack she was living with us and she was like my own but still needed so much to be taught to her in order to grow up and be a respectful adult. So that is what I do.. I treat her just like I treat Kenzie and Thalan, I love her just as much even though I feel like it is more because she needs more sometimes. When people ask I have 3 kids, 3 wonderful children. I would die for them all, I will do whatever I have to for them all.
I will never understand how someone can have a child and not be given the the instinct it takes to be a mom. She will blame it on being young, my mom and BF were young too sorry that is no excuse they are wonderful moms and have always done what is right by their children. It makes me mad that she is only a face for things like the first day of school. I was on the PTO, so that made her join because it was a competition to her in some way. She sits in the truck for all of Faiths softball games, she prays with her at night when she sleeps over but tells Faith she will not come to her communion because she doesn't believe in what I am teaching her. She doesn't do anything as far as supporting her in her daily needs for school, or call when she is sick. This will always be blamed on Sean and I. Even the fact that we are teaching her not to lie...Everyday is a new well my mother said to tell you... my mother said .... we listen and let go. Faith tells me everything because I have always told her there is no need for her being in the middle of adult nonsense and she does,sometimes on Tuesdays she waits up for me to get home form work just to hug me and kiss her goodnight and then the next day I get the mommy we need to talk, I reassure her and do my best to work things out for her with Sean. Being a step mom has been the hardest thing I have ever done but I wouldn't change it for the world. I feel sorry for the people in this world that don't love there stepchildren or their own. I feel sorry for the kids out there that are like Faith and trapped in this awful situation. Faith has made me a stronger person and a better mother then I could ever hope to be. She is my everything.My Faith Marie.

Update on Faith Kenzie and Thalan.
Wow, I can not believe summer is here. I wanted to update everyone on the kids so here I go.
Faith: Although she missed the last couple days of school because of a nasty virus she had, she is better now and back to her old self. She did great on her report card. On the standard testing she scored above average over all and the only thing that really needs improvement is her langauge skills.Which in school that means her sentences and grammar need work. Which Sean and I had been aware of this. Alot of it is not the fact that she can not do it because we know and have seen that she can.It is the fact of her not really wanting to be bothered. No biggie though, we will work with her. She has so many strong qualitied in school. Especially Math, when it comes to that she is just like daddy. Last night she was telling me times tables and that is not even something she learned in school yet. Next time I go to the dollar store i am going to get her flash card so she can practice when she wants.
Yesterday started swimming lessons and she said she enjoyed them I was at work so I can not really say how it went although daddy said it was ok.
Faith is absolutly admired by Kenzie and Thalan. When she walks into a room both of thier faces light up and it is so fun to watch them all interact. I can not believe that she will be 8 in a few short months, a third grader. Watching her grow up has been a blessing in my life that not many realizes I just hope she does.
Kenzie went for a well child check up last Friday. She is 38 pounds and 39 1/2 inches tall. Which puts her at 90% for height and 60% for weight. She was always such a chunk, now she is just growing up. The doctor is always amazed about how smart she is:here is a small bit of thier conversation:
Dr: Hi! How are you today?
Kenzie: I am good, the sun is shiny and I am going to play on the playground with my friends today.
Dr: Wow that sounds like fun. Can I ask you a couple questions?
Kenzie looking very serious: Um ok,what?
Dr: what is your name?
Kenzie : You know Kenzie Irene Riley and this is my mom Connie and my baby brother Thalan James.
Dr: your right, do you want to look at pictures with me and tell me what you see.
Kenzie got so excited.
They went through a book that has numbers letters colors, shapes and animals in it.
Kenzie took it on her lap and said i will read to you: She then proceeded to go through the whole book. She still gets brown and black confused and that made her upset, but as the Dr. said her getting them confused is normal her getting upset is like she puts to much on herself already.
( she gets that from me..oops)
Kenzie then had her physical and received a clean bill of health EXCEPT::: she needs to see an ENT, her tonsils are huge just like Faiths were and considering the fact that she snores the Dr. want to be safe then sorry. Great.
While Thalan was getting his physical Kenzie sand to her little brother, the Dr. loved it. We went from twinkle twinkle,bah bah black sheep, abc's,little miss miffit, and old McDonald.
The Dr. also said that us putting Kenzie in preschool is a great idea.. my baby girl is growing up.
When I asked her about the terrible threes, she said to give it time. That most people say that 3 is worse then 2. It is the terrible threes and I can not wait until it is over to be honest. She is not bad really but will test you when possible, and will get her self into trouble if given 5 seconds! Plus oh did I mention she is emotional like mommy as well. This makes her fits worse because its not just a fit it is a pity party. I just keep reminding Sean and myself it shall pass it is only a stage. Well, not the emotional stuff please pray for us when she is a teen.
kenzie started swimming lessons too, it didn't go great and required daddy getting in the water but i think with time it will get better, or at least I hope.
Thalan James is always so hungry why we are there, that during kenzies check up he ate and was asleep by his. The Dr. was amazed though by how happy he woke up even though she was poking at him. He now weighs 18 lbs, and is 27 inches long. Everyone comments on how big he is and maybe because he was so tiny for so long but he is not even in the 50% for weight for hieght though he is in the 75%. At six months he fits into 6 months clothes which I find cute. He is eating baby food like a champ, all I can say is my poor grocery bill in a few years:) He rolls and squirms everywhere. He will sit up but not really unsupported yet. He wants to crawl but just can't get it all the way which by the way is fine with me. Sorry he is my last so I would like to keep him little forever. When she asked how he slept and I told her he was a awesome sleeper that at night he usually sleep for 11-12 1/2 hours she smiled and said that is great you deserve it. Remember she has been kenzies Dr. forever so she knows I have spent the past 3 years sleep deprived. he recieved 2 shots, which in turn mad him miserable for 2 days with the poops. poor little guy. being that he is rarely cranky it was a sad thing to see.
So overall my kids are well, perfect. Not that I really needed a report card or a Dr. to tell me this.
My kids are my life, and I am blessed to have them.
Sorry no pics they will be coming soon.

What I think,how I think Part 1.
As days come and go there are always things that I think about, some happy,some sad, some things out of the blue. I am going to let you into my mind a little bit, tell me what you think......
I am so grateful..
to have 3 wonderful kids that are happy and healthy...
to have a loving husband that supports me unconditionally...
to have my family and all of my husbands that nomatter what is going on in life they are always here ....
to have friends that are here when I am happy or sad.
To those who know me know that I worry(enough for an army of people)!
I worry about everything there could be to worry about but I have also learned...
That what doesn't kill us makes us stronger....
God will not give you more then you can handle.......
Everyday is a new beginning to let go of the things I can not
control....
There is always a reason to smile....and it's contagious:)
When life becomes frazzled or a day doesn't work out as planned it is ok to be upset just do not let it consume you.......
I hate when my children are upset because of me, if given a punishment for bad behavior or told to do something they do not want to...
Everyday I remind myself I am thier mother, not just an everyday friend it is up to me to guide them and raise them to know and handle life..
When they become upset over something like picking up there room or being told know I remind myself that they will not hate me forever but thank me later for life lessons taught at this time.
Children are so fragile but prove to be very strong and are amazing!
Mommy time outs work!
Nomatter what life brings me I am ready, nomatter what happens I will get through. Being sad is energy that could be used to see the good in something and make someone smile.

Rain rain go away!
RAIN!!!!
At night when I am going to sleep I love listening to the rain, don't we all. It is very soothing and I really feel asthough it helps me sleep better.
There are some days when I wish it would rain just so I have an excuse not to leave my house and I can stay in PJS all say.
Now let me say RAIN RAIN GO AWAY!!!! Every day off I have it rains and not just a sprinkle it pours! So there is no enjoying the fresh air or going for long walks with the kids, playing on the playground until Kenzie and I both want to drop.
Don't get me wrong we will make the best of it, we will read, and watch movies, and color plus lets not forget play with barbies and little people for hours. I thought the days of being stuck inside were over I was wrong. Blah
Sorry for whinning I just had to get it out.

I am such a proud mommy!
Life with three kiddos is probably the most rewarding life God could of given me. All three of them make me so proud everyday that when I go to bed at night I thank god that I am so blessed. Every morning I wake up with a smile wondering what new adventure will come.
Thalan Jamed is 6 months old today! My little big man is getting to big to quick. He is honestly the happiest baby ever and can brighten up anybody's day. He loves to eat babyfood, and loves his highchair. Before and after he eats he plays in it. He also started to roll over and is trying very hard to crawl. He is not only sleeping through the night but he sleeps for about 12 hours a night! Thursday he has his well baby apt. so I will be posting soon about that as well.
My girl Faith Marie! Almost 8 going on 18 already. The other day we got a letter from the sschool telling us that Faith has been 1 out of 15 selected to be tested to go into a gifted program called Leap(learning enrichment academic program) in her school. She will be tested this week and then we will find out if she will be in it or not. Regardless of if she gets into this program I am very proud of her. As you all know Faith has gone through alot in her 7 years of life and has come out stronger from it all. The school year is almost over and I can not believe she will be in 3rd grade next year. I am glad that she has adjusted so well to her new school and that she loves Highland. If you ask her why she will tell you the lunch is better and the playground is awesome. Isn't lunch time everyones favorite?
My girl McKenzie Irene is potty trained! Even at night time she refuses to use diapers. I did what everyone told me to do and just kept putting underwear on her and let her have accidents. Well, my day off last week was spent cleaning up pee but it more than paid off because by the next day she was pulling them down. it has almost been a week and only a few accidents. Sean and I also found a pre-school that we wil be enrolling Kenzie in to start in the fall. It is at our church Sacred Heart and from what I have heard the program is amazing. She will be going three days a week for full days. She could go 5 days a week but maybe next year she is only three and I think going three days a week will be a good transition at first, then she can start 5 days next year and will be more then ready for kindergarden.

She will be going three days a week for full days. She could go 5 days a week but maybe next year she is only three and I think going three days a week will be a good transition at first, then she can start 5 days next year and will be more then ready for kindergarden.
My princess!
So as you can see I have alot to be proud of. I am so blessed to have a wonderful husband and three great kids. I am very excited about this summer. There already is alot going on. The girls are going to have swimming lessons. Thalan is being Baptized. We are taking a family vacation to Hershey Park. We will also be spending alot of time at the pool.

potty trained??????
Ok, I know you see the question marks, so let me tell you why they are there!
Kenzie has gone almost a full week with no diapers during the day! She is so super about going potty and we are so very proud of her accomplishment.
The problem is if she has underpants on she has accidents. She will realize that she is peeing and run but when she gets to the potty she is not only upset she is wet and so is my house. To be honest it may sound gross but I am more worried about her then the house.
My question is why? We have been putting her in pull ups forever it seems like but even the cool sensation ones have no effect on her. It seems to me that pull ups are to close to a diaper maybe, but underwear? Could it be that she forgets when she is dressed that she does not have a diaper on being that she was use to having one. So we let her run around the house naked from the waist down (she has been living in sundresses and nightgowns), and a few times a day I do put underwear on her but that is when the accidents happen.
WHAT DO I DO???? Any comment is helpful please guide me I am lost!
