[HALEY]

congrats. on the puppies on the way, i just love puppies.... get your spring cleaning done before the hot weather gets here so you can sit on the porch and have a beer or two!
i'm getting closer to getting my cleaning done... Micah is helping mommy he's such a good kid... we'll sometimes... we took all the pots and pans out yesterday i was cleaning under the sink and we got some wooden spoons and we made a band yesterday.. so funny Mike came home and asked what the heck all the noise was and we were laughing away....

I remember doing that Haley. Ricky and I had sooo much fun. He would sing but make up words to our music (?)...lol. As much as I love this time with him....I do miss when he was younger, but still he never ceases to amaze me.

You definitely don't have to answer this, I will understand, but were you and Mike planning on any more children? I so wish we could have given Ricky a brother or sister.

Janet you could ask me any question you want to.. we did want to have another child, but we wanted a bigger house before we had another child, my house is very small, but with the economy the way it is and my job on the line, i guess that dream is also gone with the dream of owning a bigger house, i so much wanted a little girl, strange that you mention that we were just talking about that this weekend...

Haley...I grew up in a two bedroom, one bath, living room and kitchen home. My parents had their room, and this is how us kids slept. We had a room...Carolyn was on top bunk, Jerry on bottom, me on cot and baby Brad in drawer. Then Carolyn got married, Jerry moved to the top bunk, I moved to the bottom and Brad moved to the cot. After Jerry got married...yup...I moved to the top bunk and Brad to the bottom. It really wasn't so bad. Didn't notice it being small as a child, but boy after I grew up couldn't believe we did it....LOL.

Mom still lives there and it's the perfect size for her now.

we also grew up in a two bedroom house, the three of us.. i would love to be able to stay home.. and just Mike work. But i really don't think it will be fair to bring another child into this world the way it is right now, with the trillions being spent on the economy my poor child is going to have to pay that back.. plus us.. just worried when all this money runs out, there going to tax the hell out of us. i got a carton of cigs. yesterday and almost died.... 55.00 a carton for cigs... crazy....

I got to see the bedroom where Janet slept as a child and I couldn't believe that they got 4 children in there!!! It was really small!!! But, Janet, I bet that you have great memories of your brothers and sister in that room!!!

I shared a room with my brother when I was really little then when I was in the 4th grade we added on to our house. We built a family room and a bedroom. The new bedroom was mine and it was painted pale pink.......I still love that color!!!!
