SO get ready to get confused LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets start with my grandmother on my mothers side.  I grew up thinking that her husband died...well I found out a few years ago that she was never married, that she was a mistress and got pregnant with my mom.  SHOCKING i tell ya lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so then there is my mom.  She got married to Frank young.  Had three children, Kristie Micheal and me.  THen they ended up getting divorced and it was nasty.  Frank ended up giving up custody of us.  SO then Arthur entered the picture.  My mom and arthur (who I will now call my dad) got married, and my dad adopted me my sister and my brother.  They became foster parents and then my mom got pregnant with my brother AJ.  We were living in New York at the time.  My parents decided to move to PA, they ended up adopting two of the foster childre.  Shawn is mentally and physically handicapped, he is 21 now but on the brain level of a 2 year old.  Joey is the other brother that they adopted, he has severe emtotional issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They moved out here to PA and my mom got pregnant again with Beau, my younger brother.  So now AJ and Beau are my half brothers, Kristie and Micheal are my full siblings and shawn and joey are my adopted brothers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;flash forward a few years.  I get courious about frank and decided to write him.  Turns out that he has some kids, my half siblings.   Mary, Mellissa and John.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so there it is....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Micheal and Kristie are my full siblings&lt;br /&gt;AJ, Beau, Mary, Mellissa and John are my half siblings&lt;br /&gt;Joey and Shawn are my adopted siblings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In all I have 3 sisters and 6 brothers&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3499116947707637863-1646012388631409423?l=dinksanddooders.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dinksanddooders.blogspot.com/feeds/1646012388631409423/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3499116947707637863&amp;postID=1646012388631409423&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3499116947707637863/posts/default/1646012388631409423'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3499116947707637863/posts/default/1646012388631409423'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dinksanddooders.blogspot.com/2007/01/my-family.html' title='My Family'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05076310929565363014</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499116947707637863.post-3537774753042738131</id><published>2007-01-19T15:09:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-01-19T15:13:20.132-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Friday's Feast!!</title><content type='html'>Appetizer&lt;br /&gt;Which television shows do you just refuse to miss? oh my gosh 24 for sure!  if you miss an episode of that, you are LOST!  and i love it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soup&lt;br /&gt;Who did you last speak to on the telephone? my husband, when I called  him from work a half hour ago&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salad&lt;br /&gt;How many pillows do you keep on your bed? four.

It is a constant struggle in my life to deal with it, to not hide in my bed, or hide on the computer, or to hide in a book or watching TV.  It is a constant struggle to not sleep my days away, it is a constant struggle to not yell and scream at my children for no reason at all, it is a constant struggle to keep my marriage alive and well.  My life is a struggle, but I am winning with the help of my drugs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some say that no one needs antidepressants.  That it is all in your mind, that you can "will" yourself better.  I disagree.  Nothing can "will" me to be better, never in my life can I remember feeling as good as I do when I am on my drugs.  I wish that I had found antidepressants throughout high school, maybe my high school life wouldn't have been so miserable, and I wouldn't have had to do drugs to escape the world.  Looking back, I see all the signs of depression, which some people thought were just ways for me to act out.  I attempted to kill myself FIVE times.  Doesn't that show anything?  Of course, looking back I can see that I didn't really try to kill myself, I didn't cut deep enough ever, but it WAS a sign of my depression.  True, my parents didn't ignore it.  I got sent to a mental hospital, where I rebelled and acted like I got better, so that I could get out and I could go get high with my friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I was smart, I would have taken the help that I was offered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I should be in counseling now, but I just can't make myself do it.  i try.  Everyday I try to make myself make that phone call and just make that first appointment.  But then these days I feel good.  Because of my medication.  So I say to myself that I don't need the help, knowing full well that I do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe I will call tomorrow&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3499116947707637863-2409362184718200083?l=dinksanddooders.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dinksanddooders.blogspot.com/feeds/2409362184718200083/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3499116947707637863&amp;postID=2409362184718200083&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3499116947707637863/posts/default/2409362184718200083'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3499116947707637863/posts/default/2409362184718200083'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dinksanddooders.blogspot.com/2007/01/my-drug-of-choice.html' title='My drug of choice'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05076310929565363014</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499116947707637863.post-7682482780815295461</id><published>2007-01-12T18:25:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T17:09:12.254-05:00</updated><title type='text'>some pictures...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H8LuLhNKpk8/RagZD3TdozI/AAAAAAAAABU/3C5CAlDTqH4/s1600-h/Picture+029.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H8LuLhNKpk8/RagZD3TdozI/AAAAAAAAABU/3C5CAlDTqH4/s320/Picture+029.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5019289338880303922" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H8LuLhNKpk8/RagY9XTdoyI/AAAAAAAAABM/M2wuIfgC8ec/s1600-h/Picture+004.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H8LuLhNKpk8/RagY9XTdoyI/AAAAAAAAABM/M2wuIfgC8ec/s320/Picture+004.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5019289227211154210" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3499116947707637863-7682482780815295461?l=dinksanddooders.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dinksanddooders.blogspot.com/feeds/7682482780815295461/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3499116947707637863&amp;postID=7682482780815295461&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3499116947707637863/posts/default/7682482780815295461'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3499116947707637863/posts/default/7682482780815295461'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dinksanddooders.blogspot.com/2007/01/some-pictures.html' title='some pictures...'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05076310929565363014</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H8LuLhNKpk8/RagZD3TdozI/AAAAAAAAABU/3C5CAlDTqH4/s72-c/Picture+029.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499116947707637863.post-5293286688466316855</id><published>2007-01-12T08:07:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-01-12T08:11:59.473-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bedspread'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fridays feast'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='UFO&apos;s'/><title type='text'>Fridays Feast #2</title><content type='html'>Appetizer&lt;br /&gt;What comes to mind when you see the color orange?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;warmness...tropical...sunsets....the beach...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soup&lt;br /&gt;Did you ever get in trouble while you were in school?

Like I said before, not a lot of people came.  Justin's dad and step mother, Justin's mother (who had to be guilted into coming...so much for her changing when her mother died.  I'm done with that though, I am not making an effort anymore.  Its not worth my time) and my dad and two younger brothers.  Destinee got some Barbies, a princess dress up set, a doll house, some my little ponies and twenty dollars.  Cayden got some finger paints...that has to bite, to be 3 and not really understand why your sister got so many presents and you got none, so I felt bad and got him some as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people say that its spoiling my kids, but really think about it.  It has to bite.  I won't be doing it FOREVER...just until they understand that they each get there own day.  Cayden's birthday was in June....I doubt that he remembers all the way back than to all the presents that he got.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3499116947707637863-4190894500973171065?l=dinksanddooders.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dinksanddooders.blogspot.com/feeds/4190894500973171065/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3499116947707637863&amp;postID=4190894500973171065&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3499116947707637863/posts/default/4190894500973171065'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3499116947707637863/posts/default/4190894500973171065'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dinksanddooders.blogspot.com/2007/01/destinees-birthday-party.html' title='Destinee&apos;s Birthday Party'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05076310929565363014</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499116947707637863.post-8696160325561449934</id><published>2007-01-06T07:50:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-01-06T07:57:28.177-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Saturday Scavengar Hunt</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/marysiggy/desty2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/marysiggy/desty2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todays theme is Memories&lt;br /&gt;Since today is Destinee's birthday party, I thought it would be perfect to post a picture of her.

I know that her birthday was on the 3rd, but since her party (if you can even call it that......maybe a small get together) is tomorrow, I only have to go get her gifts tonight.  But what to get her is the question?  She has so many babies, she could start an Orphanage, she already has a Disney Kitchen....tons of little trinkets.  Maybe I can get her a little vanity and some play makeup.  She does love makeup....I am also going to get her some nail polish, I love painting her nails, although my husband tends to get mad when he comes home and finds Cayden's toe nails painted as well LOL.  Well, it's not like I can say no to him...and its just his toe nails.  Right now his toe nails are blue.

This includes all those annoying papers that come with bills, just save the bill pay part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.  Throw out everything in the fourth bedroom, expect my moms china.  Obviously its been in there since we moved here...over a year ago!  And we havent touched it yet, so we dont need it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Set two days a week to do laundry.  and DO it.  no questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.  Set a day each week to clean the bathroom.  My most dreaded chore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. dont be such a packrat.  There is no need to keep EVERYTHING that I have.  Its time to start throwing things away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.  Set the roomba out to clean once a day.  It will save me time and energy...which is the reason I got that thing in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. get in the habbit of cleaning the cat box every day before I take a shower.  That way it wont get gross.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Everytime I leave a room, take five things with me that don't belong and put them in the right spot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9.

Justin went back to work today, so for awhile its just me, the kids, and a list of housecleaning that could go around our house twice.  Its amazing how much crap a family of four can go through in a matter of week, and how much cleaning needs to be done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've tried flylady...it just didnt work for me.  Nothing works for me in the aspect of cleaning, expect maybe making enough money to hire a maid.  Like that will ever happen.  The kitchen dishes from last night are still calling my name, and upstairs the germs in the bathroom are dancing the jig.  I just can't motivate myself enough to go and actually clean.  Sometimes I feel like its my day OFF.  I shouldnt have to CLEAN on my day off.  But I know that its just not possible to FULLY have a day off when you have children.  Even if I hired a babysitter for the day just so that I could lie around and do nothing.  The thoughts and worries of my children would still circle around my head.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3499116947707637863-4340862858953300840?l=dinksanddooders.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dinksanddooders.blogspot.com/feeds/4340862858953300840/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3499116947707637863&amp;postID=4340862858953300840&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3499116947707637863/posts/default/4340862858953300840'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3499116947707637863/posts/default/4340862858953300840'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dinksanddooders.blogspot.com/2007/01/tuesday.html' title='Tuesday'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05076310929565363014</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499116947707637863.post-1637117341053389064</id><published>2007-01-01T19:32:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-01-01T19:33:26.307-05:00</updated><title type='text'>someone tell me...</title><content type='html'>how to do neat things on your blog...or at least where I can go to LEARN how to do neat things on my blog...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3499116947707637863-1637117341053389064?l=dinksanddooders.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dinksanddooders.blogspot.com/feeds/1637117341053389064/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3499116947707637863&amp;postID=1637117341053389064&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3499116947707637863/posts/default/1637117341053389064'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3499116947707637863/posts/default/1637117341053389064'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dinksanddooders.blogspot.com/2007/01/someone-tell-me.html' title='someone tell me...'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05076310929565363014</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499116947707637863.post-7267984343105448597</id><published>2007-01-01T18:59:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-01-01T19:08:19.332-05:00</updated><title type='text'>trying this again....</title><content type='html'>Lets try this whole blogging thing again.  It is after all, a new year, a time for new beginings, a time for new habbits to form and a time for old habbits to end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I decided that I am going to try and do this blogging thing again.  Keep in contact with some friends that I miss like crazy, and maybe even make some new ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So lets start off on a good note.  For New Years, I am making quite a few News Years Resoloutions.  I figure that if I make a bunch maybe I can at least keep one or two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, in no par4ticular order, here they are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Spend more time with my kids.  Play with them more and laugh with them more.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Spend less time on the computer...which has gotten a lot better since SM shut down.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Write in a blog at least every other day.  Its a good outlet for things.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Learn how to cook more nutrious meals&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;Keep my house clean and organzied.  ALL the time.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="color: rgb(255, 255, 153);"&gt;Have another baby&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;Did you just read number 6 right?  Yes, yes you did.  Justin and I are trying to have another baby.  Well...we didnt START yet.  But next month we will.  Its to late in my cycle this month to try.  I am so exicted, I just cant wait.  And since most likely this WILL be our last baby, I am going to cherish every moment of it.  Including the trying to concieve part.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3499116947707637863-7267984343105448597?l=dinksanddooders.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dinksanddooders.blogspot.com/feeds/7267984343105448597/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3499116947707637863&amp;postID=7267984343105448597&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3499116947707637863/posts/default/7267984343105448597'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3499116947707637863/posts/default/7267984343105448597'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dinksanddooders.blogspot.com/2007/01/trying-this-again.html' title='trying this again....'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05076310929565363014</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry></feed>
