Wow kind been gone for a while!!!

Well I guess that I have kind of let things go since I got onto Facebook. It is really fun and so easy to find people. I love that I can post right from my blackberry (not sure if I can do that here). Things are good here so much that I could write about but just really don't have time tonight or even in the near future because we are moving again yes you read that right! This is like the 5th or 6th time in like 5 years! I am so over it but this move is not so bad it is only 5 streets over not across the country! So I guess it is a little easier! I promise to post again soon maybe I still have a few readers out there.........you can also check me out on facebook as Jenifer Coverdale! later gators!!

Christmas, Apple Lane Farms

Justin's favorite new toy! Santa brought him this and he loves it!!! It is really quite zippy and he has even learned how to pop wheelies already (I think this has Emergency Room all over it.) Christmas was very good at our house this year Jake got that Wii that he has been wanting and JC got a new PS2 (his PS3 is broken and we gave away the other PS2) and I got a really cool digital picture frame. This is only a small list the boys are still opening packages!!!! I have decided that Christmas is NOT going to be like this next year The boys do not need anything and I want to them to know that Christmas means more than getting presents. So I guess we will see what happens next year.

I am sorry that I have not posted in a while but the holidays are such a rush between working, shopping, wrapping, shopping, more wrapping, cooking, and all the other stuff that has to be done I just totally loose track of everything.

By the way I got one of those precooked hams from Apple Lane Farms this year for Christmas dinner and it was AWESOME!!! however, we only got to eat a small amount because my stupid ass mutts took it right off my counter and ate the whole thing!!! Man was I mad..... they spent like 2 days outside in the rain!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

I will try and post more often have a face book page now that I spend more time on because it is more interactive! No one leaves any post here anyway.....

Lung Transplants..........I NEED HELP!!!!!

Hi Everyone,
I am just sitting here thinking about one of our close friends Chuck Campbell his wife Vicki and 4 kids (3 still at home). They are in desperate need of everyone's help. He was diagnosed with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) about 3 years ago and has gotten progressively worse. He has seen many specialist, had many scans, and the final results are not good. Chuck has been sent to a team of specialist at Temple University and the end result is that he needs a DOUBLE lung transplant. This is very, very expensive as you may imagine and insurance only covers a very small amount. The transplant team will not even touch him until he has raised about $500,000. This is where everyone comes in. They are in need of donations and any and everything will help. I am posting the link at the bottom of the page to his Temple fundraising web site and all donations are tax deductible and are greatly appreciated. Please help us save our good friend so that he can see his 4 kids grow up. If you have any questions please leave a post on my blog or on the link below and either me or Vickie will be happy to answer any questions that you may have.
Sincerely
Jenifer Coverdale

This really means a lot to me and my family for the sake of their family!

Justin's Tattoos

Justin's tattoo
~Jenifer~

I sent this from Jake's fall festival. Justin had both of his cheeks painted then had a fit for a tattoo (the removable kind) and he would have it no other way until he got it put right in the middle of his forehead. I swear this child has a stubborn streak a country mile wide (it is because he was born in Alabama).

Just sitting around!!

I am just kind of hanging out and thought that I would blog a little...
Justin is still sick so we are starting our 2nd round of antibiotics tonight and hopefully this one is going to work. Why oh why do the doctors give out the crapy antibiotics first knowing that they are not going to work do they do that just so we have to pay 2 co pays or what!
Anyway besides all that JC is just getting better finally he was pretty sick last week to.

I am having a hard time trying to think of what to write about nothing exciting happens to me anymore just home, school, work, daycare and back home no time for anything fun.
We are trying to plan on going snow tubbing this winter I am sure that we are going to have to take a road trip for that because we have moved to far down south to get any snow;-( I am really going to miss it. I really did not like to play in it but I LOVED curling up on the couch with hot chocolate and a good book in front of the fire place. Now it is to dang hot for a fire!

I guess that I better get up and do some stuff so I will post again later

All is Sick!!!

Well it has been one of those weeks, everybody but Jake has been sick with JC being the worst. We both had bronchitis and Justin is just all snotty. Of course what does he do that drives me just nuts! He wipes his nose on his shirt sleeves even though we have tissue sitting on every table.
Things are going pretty good here. I really like my job (most of the time) and I made a new friend which is great because my best friend of 17 years has a crappy man that does not let her talk to any of her friends and her kid needs major discipline but that is a whole nother story. I really love her like a sister though.
It is really early I HATE TIME CHANGE!! I got up at 6:30 this morning UUGH!
I will post again soon

Gonna miss this. I love the snow!

~Jenifer~

I am really gonna miss this and because it is fall I am thinking about it even more. I guess we will just have to drive north a couple of hours so that we can go snow tubing it was awesome. This was a picture from January when we still lived in PA and this was just a little we had days where we got lots more!

Driving me CRAZY

OK...someone I know has been having a fit for me to get on myspace and so I gave in and now it is driving me crazy! I can't figure out how to do anything. I like my blog much better and I can post what I want when I want and with ease! Sorry girl you may just have to come over here and read my blog when you want to know what is going on. I will try to mess around with it a little more but it is just difficult! I am not that computer literate. I will post again this weekend when I am not so tired.

CRASH!!!!!

This was taken Sunday 9-28 in Birmingham, AL at Alabama Adventure. Jake is in the lead and Justin is about to crash cause he is looking at the floor. We had a great family day (I am glad we have not done anything like this all summer). We are even talking about going to visit My brother and sister - in - law (yeah I am talking about you Sarah) in FL this month or next. So Sarah you need to find some fun stuff to do down there!

I can NOT believe my luck Friday I stopped at the mall to order Jake's cookie cake ( I love these) I had just parked and got out of the car me and Justin were standing there waiting on Jake to get out and I seen my car roll forward. I was trying to figure out why when I realized that the people backing out across the street back right into my car!!! I have had such bad luck since I got this new van. SOOO I got all of there information and called the insurance company today and He has not reported it soooo I have to wait for the insurance company to get in touch with him and do all that stuff.....THEN on Saturday morning my mom come to pick me and Justin up to go to the store when she back out of my driveway she ran all over the car across the street. I will say that we have ask this man NOT to park his car right behind my driveway and we (me and JC) have almost hit this car several times. Anyway the cop did say that he was parked illegally so maybe momma will get lucky and not have to pay for anything. I guess that we will see.

I swear I am going to stop riding in cars I think I could ride horses or something and have better luck!

I will write again soon.

This is Jake in a tree. He was out playing with his friends and I sent him a text and ask what he was doing and this is the picture that I got back. He told me that well he was climbing trees and even sent me a picture just in case I didn't believe him. He has quite the sense of Humor ( he really is quick and funny).

Sunday, September 21, 2008

This is Jake an Justin actually being nice to each other for a minute. These minutes are few and far between but when they happen they are sweet.

Easy like Sunday Morning......

Well for once we get to take it easy today we are just laying around the house chillin' which is great we have been so busy the past couple of months we need a day off. We postponed our trip to Alabama Adventure because Jake and Justin were feeling a little under the weather yesterday and last night so a day off for everyone is needed. It would be great if I could just lay on the couch all day but Justin will not let that happen so I am sitting here at the computer messing around and doing laundry (yeah).
Things are going great here I love my new job, Jake is doing well in school, and surprisingly so is Justin.
Anyway I am going to try and lay on the couch a bit and read my new book. It is the 3rd in the Eragon set. The book is sooo much better than the movie and the 2nd book was good so I got the new one last night and can't wait to start it. So that is what is on my table today trying to read and doing laundry (yeah). I will post again soon I usually have time in the afternoons to post at work because we are kind of slow (sometimes real slow). Talk to ya later.

Just working!

I am just sitting around here at work and thought that I would post a little. We went and got Jake his birthday present last night (one of many) but we took him and let him pick out a nice bike. His other one was getting to small. We are going to brave the weather this weekend and go to an amusement park on the other side of Birmingham it even has a water park. However it makes me mad that I can't ride anything because of my neck. I have a terrible headache right now. I just hope it is not like the fair last week I really had a bad headache then (almost migraine status!) anyway I was miserable.
Things are going good here Jake is making all A's as usual (that makes me so proud!!!) and Justin has not been kicked out of pre-school so that is great (his teacher said that he has been really good! I am not sure what she has done with my child but I wish that she would send that one home).
My mother fell like 2 weeks ago and broke her shoulder (like she needs anymore problems) so now she has to have therapy.
Gotta go I will write again later when I remember!!

SKUNKS ANYONE???

Of all the things in the world I would have never guessed that my 2 large dogs would get sprayed by a SKUNK! Why you may ask? Well because we live in the city, in a development where all the fences meet and did I mention that YES we live in the city! A large city! We lived on top of a mountain in the woods in Pennsylvania on 12 acres where my dogs just ran free all the time but now that they are city dogs they get sprayed by a skunk and it is terrible (believe me it really is terrible!). It was about 2:15a.m. Wednesday morning and I could not sleep so I got up, got a drink (just some juice) and then went into my fenced backyard to smoke and it happened. My Dalmatian charged it and the Doberman followed her. I thought it was a cat because it was dark and all I could see was the cute white fluffy parts and I knew that a cat could get away before they could get her so I was not worried. Then Lex (Dalmatian) ran over to me coughing, snotting, throwing up and stinking! I jumped up and ran into the house to tell my hubby and the nasty, nasty smell followed me. Hubby began gagging immediately (he even tried to sleep in the van for a couple of hours and that didn't work). It was horrible! Needless to say they had to stay outside the rest of the night and all the next day (cause I work full time days now). The poor things thought that they had died and gone to HELL!! My dogs are a little spoiled so they don't know how to lay anywhere but on the couch and on top of smelling like a rotten dead decaying animal they actually had to lay on the ground. Anyway, Skunks do not smell the same fresh as they do when you smell them on the side of the road. The worst part is you CAN NOT get rid of the smell. I have always heard that you should use tomato juice (or paste) but after some research online we found out it doesn't work that you should use baking soda and peroxide mixed with water. However this can cause bleaching of the fur so now I am going to have a red, bleached blonde, redneck Doberman! GREAT! JUST GREAT!
I have given them like 5 baths (outside of course) to get rid of the smell and guess what!! It still did not work! The smell is tolerable but you can defiantly still smell it.

So this is what I have been doing all week! The dogs are in the house but the are restricted to the kitchen cause I don't want the furniture to stink.
I have had a rough week and I will try and write again this weekend but I am so tired cause I have been really busy this week with the dogs and work and everything in between.

By the way Jake is turning 10 tomorrow (the 6th) and I just can't believe that my little baby is in double digits now!
