Too Quiet

Well my house is extremely quiet right now. Some would say, "isn't that really nice?" NO! See my ex and I don't have the best relationship, actually I don't like him at all. For the past 5 years he has done nothing but make my life a living hell. He married the most horrible woman in the world and let her run everything. She made all the decisions, called all the shots. She really wanted my kids and fought me tooth and nail for them. They called CPS on us, it really scared the kids when they came to the school to interview them. They said awful things about me, Kamdyn and my family to the kids. Thankfully they got divorced at the end of last year so I don't have to deal with her anymore but I still don't like my ex. He expects me to bend over backwards to accommodate him but won't bend even a little to help me out. He is nothing but a jerk but he is the father of 2 of my kids so I try to make the best of it. So because of all of the background we have I always dread my kids going with their father. If we had a decent relationship I would probably be happy for them to go but, since I have no idea what he exposes them to or who, I am not.

Sorry this is kinda dark and moody but that is how I am feeling today.

And They're Gone......

So sad today.

My 2 oldest kiddos left to spend the summer with their dad in Utah. I know they need time with him but dang! it rips me apart to know that they are 2000 miles away from me and I can't get to them if anything happens. I know it's morbid, but that is where my mind always heads to. I'll be in a funk for a few days then come out of it. They were both very excited about getting to go, so it's hard for me to be sad in front of them. I don't want them to feel like they have to please me by putting a lid on their excitement.

So here is to my sweet girl Taylor

and my handsome man Colton

We all are going to miss you bunches! Especially this little sister.....

Love you guys, be safe with your Dad!

Hugs,

The Bergbowers!

How Many Kids Are Here????

So usually on the weekends I keep my niece and nephew for my sister while she works. This weekend was no different. My mom and I sometimes trade out, I will keep them one night and she will keep them one night. Mom is out of town today this weekend so I have them. I've been trying to keep all 5 kids occupied this weekend, but with all these kiddos that is hard work. There has been a lot of fighting and yelling at my house, between the kids too. Ha!

Last night we went and saw Toy Story 3 and Marmaduke at the drive in. They were really cute shows. i was especially glad to take Kamdyn to see them. She just watched the first 2 this week and is all about Woody and Buzz right now. This morning when I got up there was popcorn all over it. Oh well, that is what I get for letting the kids eat in my car.

Today we hung out at the house for a while then went to a local park. We all took a nice walk around the lake. It was hot but fun, Kam fell at one point (of course) and skinned her knee so then I ended up carrying her for half the walk.

Tonight for dinner Michael cooked Kabobs on the grill YUMMY! I forgot how delicious they are. I am so stuffed tonight, I am going to call it a night and veg out on the couch. :)

It's Friday!!!

TGIF!!!

I am so glad it is Friday. It seems like I spend all week waiting for Friday then the whole weekend dreading Monday. I am really dreading this Monday. I will be all alone at work. No fun at all. My friend Capretha's last day is today and I am going to miss her like crazy. She brings a breath of fresh air into the office.

This weekend Michael is going to be gone to the deer lease putting out feed and what ever guys do at the deer lease when it is not hunting season. Since he is going to be gone, I will have Payton and Keaton (niece and nephew) tonight but not Taylor. She is again going to spend the night with someone. So I think the kids and I will go see Toy Story 3 and Marmaduke at the drive in. Should be fun, me by myself with 4 kids at the drive in. Yikes!!

Taylor and Colton are getting so excited to go see their dad. They have not seen him since March so it has been a long time for them. I have mixed emotions about this, I know how they feel. I would give anything to see my daddy again. It's been 11 years since he passed away. So I know how they feel but as their mother, I hate to see them go for 1 month. It is supposed to be 6 weeks out of the summer but as usual something comes up and it has gotten shortened. Oh well everyone has their priorities I guess.

Anyway everyone have a wonderful weekend! I know I will!!

Hugs!

Happy Thursday!!

Yay Today is Thursday! That means tomorrow is Friday!!! Woot Woot.

I am so glad that this week is almost over. Nothing has been going on it just seems to have been the longest week in history. I am stressed out about what's going to happen at work. Tomorrow is Capretha's last day so Monday, I am all alone. Just me, myself and I at work. That really sucks.

Taylor and Colton have been spending the night with Stacy this week. I am glad that they are getting to do something before they go,but it makes me sad that the last week they are with me until August,they are gone. They get so bored at home all day alone,I feel so bad for them. I wish I did not have to work so we could do fun stuff. Kamdyn is going to be so lonely when they leave. She is getting old enough that now she is asking to go to Utah with Sissy and Bubby, um NO! I don't like sending Taylor and Colton to see their Bio-Dad what makes you think I am going to send my baby also? She does not understand that they have a whole separate family from her. Divorce sucks.

Saturday Mom and I took Taylor and her friend Lindsey to Dallas for her birthday. Her actual birthday was in May but we could not get our schedules together until now. We stayed at the Hyatt Regency in Downtown Dallas it was beautiful. The girls had a blast and thought we were high rollers. (Priceline is great!!)

This was the view from our room on the 22nd floor.

Saturday we took the girls to Six Flags. It was hot but not bad, there were hardly any lines to get on the rides and the girls were big enough to ride everything.

While we were at Six Flags this is what my 3.5 year old baby girl was doing.

Yeah she has no fear. Her father and uncle were throwing the others so she wanted to. Good thing Mom was not there to have a heart attack.

Well that sums up our past few days. Sorry it was rambling, I promise to get better as I go.

Hugs!
