Got anything you want me to try? Other than beating someone to a pulp. I've never "tried" that before, but if you want me to, I can make a trip up there and "surprise" someone. lol.<BR/><BR/>I hope the part goes well tomorrow. Sounds like a lot of fun! Brycen would love all the stuff you're doing.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like your really busy, but like you said it's all for you and Zack. See? I told you that you are one of the most independent people that I know! I could never do what you do.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting finally. I look for a new post every day. But atleast I can keep up with you on Facebook ;)Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10751304334021019873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663925964144883011.post-24158679166108416662009-02-17T21:47:00.000-05:002009-02-17T21:47:00.000-05:00Fabulous post Jenn!

I want to grow up to be like you. lol.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure today is hard and I bet every day has it's challenges. You can do it! You already are. I've always known you to be an independent person. You know what you want and you set out to get it. <BR/><BR/>Zack is lucky to have you as a Mom ;)Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10751304334021019873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663925964144883011.post-85330430459806488992008-09-05T12:55:00.000-04:002008-09-05T12:55:00.000-04:00Wow...sounds like things are going really well up ...Wow...sounds like things are going really well up there. <BR/><BR/>A lottery for the school? Must be a super good school huh?<BR/><BR/>I'm glad to hear that Zack has some good friends. We spend a lot of time taking the kids to their friends and having them over here too. I'm even starting to take Ava once in a while to a play group when I can. <BR/><BR/>Yes! You need to come down for a visit! You were supposed to come and then you didn't for some reason. I understand, but boy we miss you!!! I wish I could come up there too, but with gas so high, we don't go too many places at all. We were lucky that the reunion was down here this time atleast.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, happy fall you too. It's my all time favorite season. I love the smells and cool crisp air. <BR/><BR/>Talk to you soon. Blog when you can because I look forward to all of your posts :)Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10751304334021019873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663925964144883011.post-7907526211060252662008-08-13T01:35:00.000-04:002008-08-13T01:35:00.000-04:00Yep, I can relate to wicked shopping trips too. I'...Yep, I can relate to wicked shopping trips too. I've left the store with a half full cart of food because of temper tantrums. Then again, I've also been known to just keep shopping and let them scream their way thru the store. I don't care if people stare. The kids have to learn that they can't get to me with the fits. All this is in the past though since my kids are older. Soon I will be right back in the same boat tho as Ava grows older. Eek! As of now, I only shop with her occassionally because I wait until the kids are home to get my shopping done. They watch her for me. Weeee! I know what I was doing by waiting so long to have Ava! I was raising babysitters! <BR/><BR/>Hang in there Jenn. It can only get better from here right?! :) Love ya!Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10751304334021019873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663925964144883011.post-52264629871558105212008-08-12T17:48:00.000-04:002008-08-12T17:48:00.000-04:00haha, well we don't have the penny ponies at Walma...haha, well we don't have the penny ponies at Walmart...lol~Jenn~https://www.blogger.com/profile/01894700899609346395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663925964144883011.post-37167861471718295542008-08-10T23:23:00.000-04:002008-08-10T23:23:00.000-04:00Ahhhh, I hear ya Jenn!

You can curse the person who decided the checkout aisle was a good place for candy and I bless the person who put the "penny ponies" in Meijer! lol Especially now that K is old enough to go on his own (within sight, of course) while I wait impatiently for my turn to pay. <BR/><BR/>One thing I did (don't know if it'll work out for you) is to give K his allowance when we get to the store. It's like a bribe without the emotional parent-guilt that goes with bribes. lol He usually only earns a dollar, so that's enough to get something small and I don't feel the pinch of losing a dollar all that much. One buck is a small price to pay for some sanity. (well ok... one buck + a penny for the pony!)Nikabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09751270832455125350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663925964144883011.post-30527684420180668442008-07-26T16:13:00.000-04:002008-07-26T16:13:00.000-04:00Are you still coming down??

It will be good for you to get away and enjoy something new with Zack. You'll put some of those obstacles behind you temporarily and just enjoy yourself.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10751304334021019873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663925964144883011.post-11138355920488974442008-07-21T09:23:00.000-04:002008-07-21T09:23:00.000-04:00Thanks Jenn.

But, you will feel better in the end for it. Do you know why? Because Zack and everyone else will eventually see him for the evil, unhappy, lying loser that he really is. And they will also see you forwho you really are. And that is an amazingly strong, loving, and patient women who they love, treasure, and honor. Does that mean let things slide. No way. Because part of being strong means being able to say no when you need to. <BR/>Also, as hard as it is right now, you will need to open yourself up to more opportunities. Like men. This can be fun! But, I want you to remember something. You Jennifer, are worth alot. And you are going to meet alot of men who are not worthy of you, or Zack. It's very important to be picky. You have lots of time. Don't rush it. I only tell you this cuz I love you cuz. And I really don't want to see you hurt again. Good Luck! Love, Kara <BR/>P.S. Give Zack a kiss for me!Kara DeWildthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042112558222823965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663925964144883011.post-32887854877445990932008-07-13T14:44:00.000-04:002008-07-13T14:44:00.000-04:00Yup, his first time without training wheels...I wa...Yup, his first time without training wheels...I was so excited.

You're stronger than I think I could've been. <BR/><BR/>You may feel jipped at spending so much time with him, but I see perserverence. No one can say that you threw in the towel cuz it was hard. It was hard for a long time and you kept at it, having hope that he would change. The fact that he didn't isn't your fault in any way. <BR/><BR/>But as you discovered, there comes a time when enough is enough. And you had a sweet little spirit to protect as well. You've set an amazing example to him of a strong woman, who knows what she's worth and will not accept anything less. That will not only benefit Zack, but will also ensure that the next guy (and there will be one) will be all that you deserve - because you won't settle for anything less! <BR/><BR/>Keep hanging in there!Nikabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09751270832455125350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663925964144883011.post-65562346303562147142008-07-03T21:02:00.000-04:002008-07-03T21:02:00.000-04:00I 2nd all the things that Kara said in her last po...I 2nd all the things that Kara said in her last post.<BR/><BR/>I hear you being angry and hurt, but on the flip side, you are grateful for God allowing you to recover, become healthy again and be able to be the GREAT Mom that you are to Zack. You have come a looooong way and I'm super proud of you.<BR/><BR/>I know you're afraid to date again for fear of being hurt, but maybe some time you will a change and finally allow yourself to find someone who is deserving of you. Someone is out there just looking for that perfect person and she is YOU! Someone who will love you the way you deserve to be loved.<BR/><BR/>Chin up girl! I'm on your side.<BR/><BR/>TEAM JENNIFER all the way! :)Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10751304334021019873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663925964144883011.post-7327329882316830912008-07-01T00:36:00.000-04:002008-07-01T00:36:00.000-04:00Jenn you're blogging now too! That's so awesome. ...Jenn you're blogging now too! That's so awesome. I just started about a month or so ago. My address is dewildtdelivery.blogspot.com. <BR/>Anyway, you know there may be one thing that you and everyone else has learned from your experiences. And that is that you're a very strong woman and a very loving Mom and friend. You tried hard and did your best to make things work even if it was only one sided. You should be proud of yourself and all that you have accomplished. That is very important. And you have hope. That's huge. What I mean by that is that you have the love of your family and the freedom now to not only improve your life but to pursue whatever dreams you may have right now. And you have the opportunity to find that special person who is still out there waiting to find you. Don't ever give up on that.<BR/>I really want you to know that I'm proud of you, and I know that I'm not the only one. You're not alone.
