<span style="font-family: "Browallia New","sans-serif";">I’m having a
panic attack. These stupid meds are killing me. I hate them. Stick with it,
stick with it, stick with it. I know it’s the meds. I just have to get through
this and relax for a couple weeks. I hate this job. It’s not even that bad it’s
just HORRIBLY boring. I don’t want to do this every day. I appreciate learning
the process and gaining experience but it’s not what I like to do. I don’t even
like accounting that much to begin with but there are aspects I like and I know
it. The pay is killing me. I need money. I can’t continue to be completely
broke before the first week of the month is over. Collections calls ringing all
day. I’m applying to jobs like crazy. I’m trying so hard. I’m just going to
keep pushing forward. Keep. Pushing. Forward. I hate that I wanted a life with
Jason. That I was too blind to realize what he was. That I was ok with him even
from the very beginning when I knew better. Why didn’t I want better things for
myself? Seeing him makes me want to vomit. Looking at all his narcissistic
posts makes me want to kick him in the teeth repeatedly with a steel boot. I’ve
never been violent but he makes me feel violent. I’m trying and praying so hard
that I don’t hate him but he makes me sick. I don’t want the boys to be
anything like him. Like, at all. I want them to be normal and happy and never
know what a piece of garbage pervert their dad is. I don’t want them to be
manipulated by his bullshit thinking they have to live up to his standards and
expectations. I don’t want to be dating. I don’t want to wonder and worry and
try to get to know someone and hope they are interested or aren’t interested
and that they won’t hurt me. I don’t want to have to trust someone. I don’t
want my kids to have step-parents and the life I did of not feeling like you
belong. I gave them each other and that’s the best I can do for them at this
point to always have a family and each other. I have to get out of here, even
if I have to do it on my own. I can’t be here any longer with the family I don’t
get to be a part of being slapped in my face every single day. I can’t believe
I didn’t see this coming. Why didn’t I just stay home?! I’m so lonely but I don’t
want the drama of having anyone in my life. I tried that again and it’s not
gone well. Everything’s so complicated. I want this guy, I really do, but not
as myself. I want him as I was before I got so damaged by Jason. Can I just
erase all that from my life? Can I please just erase Jason from my life? I
really want that. I don’t want to be alone but I don’t want to be with anyone………<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Browallia New","sans-serif";">STOP<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Browallia New","sans-serif";">Think logically
not emotionally, look forward not backward. I’m letting the emotions get to me.
Look at facts. Be factual for a few weeks. Make daily plans, hourly plans,
whatever you have to do to stay focused. All of these things above don’t really
matter except to tell you what you do and do not want for the future. What. Do.
You. Want? YOU. I want a good job. I want to provide for my children and myself
on my own. I want to look good, I want to feel good and be proud of how I look
so that it’s not ever a reason not to have what and who I want, should I ever
decide I want to date. <s>I want to be alone to focus on myself but I also want
this guy.</s> We’ll address that at another time. You need yourself and to fix
and love yourself before you can go there. This guy is what he is. Don’t think
past that. It doesn’t really matter. Do NOT make life decision based on something
that does not matter or exist. You are dating and more than likely he won’t
last past this year. Don’t decide your life for anyone’s benefit but yours and
the boys. Move where the jobs are and a good school and life are for you and
the boys. If God wants someone else in your life, it will get there. You first.
Don’t let any more decision in your life be about anything but you and the boys
so you won’t regret them anymore or wish you’d done different. You’re done sacrificing.
Do what gets you where you want, not what’s easy or best for everyone. Get your
masters and CPA. Get a good job. Make memories with the boys. Have a life of
your own. Be proud of your choices and yourself. Hold your head up and be proud
of what you’ve been through. It’s been a tough rode and you’ve learned some
hard lessons but it’s made you strong and smart. Look at those boys you made.
Be proud of them. Even when they are being a pain. Let them be people, figure
themselves out and show them by example how to be an adult. There’s no reason
to panic. God will not forsake you. You are not alone. Deep breath and eyes
forward.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

To say we are excited would be a great understatement. I can't even put into words how excited/happy/scared/proud/relieved, etc, etc, etc we are. There just are no words. Jason has worked tirelessly towards this goal. Countless hours of studying. Sacrificing time with me and the kids. And all the work he put in advertising and recruiting patients into the clinic. Personal training early mornings and late nights to help makes ends meet. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">And I think of all the sacrifice we've made as a family. Living in a townhouse and then a tiny apartment. I've been the primary provider and a mostly single parent during some stages. And a constant cheerleader and standing behind pushing. We've both been pushing uphill for what seems like forever towards this goal. And we've made it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Not to discount his hard work, because he was the one who really accomplished this goal but I like to think we accomplished this goal as a family. Because of all we've sacrificed together.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Jason's parents came up for the celebration of course. Both my parents came up as well. Lindsey, Nick and the girls all surprised us and came up too!

He's the biggest snuggle big and I love cuddling with him! I'm gonna be sad when he's fully mobile and won't want to snuggle with mommy anymore. He has the sweetest personality and is such a good baby. Loves to squeal and screech like his big brother Beckett. He looks so much like his daddy, it kind of unfair. Haha! And I just want to eat those chubby baby thighs up!! I cannot picture our life without him, even though I thought we weren't ready, I'm sure glad God knew differently. He's a puzzle piece we didn't even know we were missing. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Happy 1/2 Birthday Huddy T, little Turtle!

We finally got all the samples in and everything came back normal except he has low iron. She put him on an iron supplement which has only made his stools worse ;/ I won't be giving up though. Gonna try some TummyGize essential oils and a kids probiotic. We've cut out milk and juice which has helped but he still had spells of very watery diarrhea.

He's getting such a funny little personality. Is stubborn as all get out. Loves to play with his big brother, building blocks, or throw a ball and play catch, climbing up the bathroom counters to eat your toddler toothpaste, and coloring on Mimi's walls. He's a very sweet big brother most of the time and only occasionally tries to ride Hudson like a horse or roll around on top of him. Usually he just lays next to him and talks to him or gives him sweet forehead kisses. He's still a mommas boy but momma is quickly being replaced by Mimi or sometimes even Popo!

I used one of Beckett's shirts for sizing and such. I drew the patches on the white material I bought and then colored them in with black fabric marker. All by hand from a pic of Jax Teller I had (swoon). I cut them out and added the iron on webbing and stuck them on the vest. I ironed them all together the next morning and prayed everything fit and all the bones were in the appropriate places. Luckily everything worked out perfectly. Whew!</div><div>Brazos had a friend's costume/bowling birthday party in the afternoon at Grand Station so we loaded up as a family and went to do that.

I was absolutely heartbroken for them to put it mildly. There are no words to do it justice. He was 24 and far too young with so much life left to live. Thankfully, Jake was a man of God and lived a Godly life so we know he's in heaven with the Lord, rejoicing in the fruits of his labors. No sorrow, no worry, only pure joy with God for all eternity.</div><div>The first thing we did when Jason picked me up from the airport was head over to Jud and Julie's (his parents) to see the family. They were all just in utter shock and completely heartbroken. His new widow was completely somber and barely standing under her own efforts. She managed to say she was being carried. By God and by all of us. She was just being carried and that's the best way to describe her. The kids were obviously keeping her going, thank goodness for that. She turned to Jason and told him she was sorry for his loss and I just about burst into tears. Because that was them, always thinking of others before themselves. Truly souls beyond their years in both their earthly and heavenly relationships. Beyond inspiring.</div><div>The funeral was the hardest I've ever been to. I sobbed like a baby. It was just overwhelming, the crippling heartbreak and yet clinging desperately to their faith and His promise to carry out burdens for us as well as is in our hardest times. Soul shattering. I just don't have words to describe what a major loss they suffered. 6 brothers and sisters, parents, lots of family and his sweet, young wife and those babies. All three 3 and under. The youngest being 6 months.</div><div>God being the ever faithful provider, worked through all of us to help Jake's family in a campaign to raise money, as he was the sole financial provider and they had no savings because they had just bought a house. To date they have raised over $47,000 and counting. God is so good. Even in a time of the worst possible devastation, he provides hope. </div><div>I know we were really looking forward to spending more time with them since our youngest two are the same age as theirs. Abel and Beckett being only a day apart. We will still be able to see them and spend time with them, just terrible sad it won't be with Jake.</div><div>Thank you for being a great example to us all and for affirming my faith that much more. Praying for your family in this new existence without you and for guidance on how to help them through.</div><div>Goodbye Jake. Until we meet again.</div>Dawn Allenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12142714097803993763noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8257052345671411009.post-25794005457742679082015-11-01T20:40:00.001-06:002015-11-01T20:40:36.988-06:00Trip to KCI went on my first away trip for work this past weekend to the office for the quarterly meeting and to meet/train the new guy.<div>Jason and the boys drove me to Austin Sunday morning to the airport.

He was a total terror when he started and I got a report from his teacher a couple days ago that he is doing AWESOME!! He's the first one done with all his work and it's always done perfectly. He's paying attention and following directions. He's very social and has lots of friends. And the biggest improvement is nap time! He doesn't take a nap every day, which is fine, but when he doesn't take a nap he is laying quietly and relaxing! Yay! Huge milestone for my crazy wild man!! He will be totally ready to go to the big K next fall!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Also, I have to mention that he and Daddy have been working with some Addition flash cards and he can go through all the cards 0-3 (adding to 1-12) in under 4 minutes!

He's healthy and happy and all around perfect. </div><div>Some of the things he's doing now - babbles a lot and just added "baba" to his vocabulary. Loves to screech. Giggles and smiles. Loves his big brothers. Can roll over from tummy to back like a pro but still working on back to tummy. Found his toes and loves to play with his feet. We got the green light to start on solid foods but holding off for a little while. May start with some avocado in a month or so.</div><div>This sweet little love is getting so big so fast. Momma is having an extra hard time with him getting so big too fast. Time just goes way too quickly.</div><div>He officially started going to his sitter yesterday so he's really a big boy now.

We didn't tell the boys he was coming home, only that they had a surprise that night. A BIG ONE. The boys were beyond excited when daddy walked in. Brazos and Beckett both yelled "Daddyyyyy!!" And ran up and jumped into his arms. It was too precious. I videod the whole thing. I've watched it a dozen times at least.<div>Jason had the first week home off so he relaxed and we had a coffee date and lunch date during that week. It was so nice to have him home. Despite already having a little family drama...living with your parents just isn't easy! Especially Jason and his Dad's dynamic. He officially started his preceptorship today although he went in and covered for the front desk yesterday. He did his first adjustment yesterday on a patient and the dr he was with said he nailed it! Dr Marcy wants him to build up his patient base during this time so he can be up and running by the time he starts working in January. They discussed his contract last week and Jason feels much better about it now that he understands the pay and she worked with him on the non-compete. It's a great deal and will be really nice for him to have a steady base salary!</div><div>Things at work are going well. Still with my same company although I have been looking at jobs at the university. I applied for a couple really good positions that would be a step up for me but have not heard anything yet. Pam assured me that things move really slowly and that no news wasn't necessarily bad news. Praying that everything works as it should.</div><div>We are beginning the process of thinking about buying a house. Trying to decide whether to buy or have Tom build us something. Tom building would really be the best value but finding a lot so far has been hard. We haven't talked with a realtor or anything yet but I'm not finding anything for sale in the area that we want. I'm determined to get in the school district that I want/a great school district for the boys so I'm not settling on any old place for our house. Unfortunately that means more expensive homes. It will be at the very earliest next spring before we could do anything so we still have lots of time but trying to get a game plan in place. </div><div>So far life has been pretty great down here and we all seem happier. I miss my family a lot and am ready to see them already. Hoping to make a trip to KC for work soon and gonna squeeze in visits to everyone.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcUx5yO4OnszBpeMaREtEYyznNxt3lhiFSIqm0D8aVXehSuEyerZhWzr0ATEOd_jlrNaZ3JBhpPtHP-6akGy6e0ECgAA6xjk9qu_aEKhb1z52ypWQ8HSYX_RnL2naa0pUJf9lm7Ksa9EA/s640/blogger-image-82693288.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcUx5yO4OnszBpeMaREtEYyznNxt3lhiFSIqm0D8aVXehSuEyerZhWzr0ATEOd_jlrNaZ3JBhpPtHP-6akGy6e0ECgAA6xjk9qu_aEKhb1z52ypWQ8HSYX_RnL2naa0pUJf9lm7Ksa9EA/s640/blogger-image-82693288.jpg"></a></div>I'll leave you with a photo of a Texas rainbow.
