Sorry I have been so behind on this blogsite!!!!!

Hello all,
I know I was doing so great keeping pictures and up dates on my blogsite. However, my laptop broke. Well the screen broke and so I have to use our desk top which isn't set up to let post my pictures properly or I am just not doing it right. Very good possiblity. Anyway, Its Valentine's day and I can't even believe I am going to say this because it was a running joke but I never thought it would actually happen but we still have up our Christmas tree and decorations!!!! Yes, its Valentines Day and we have Christmas still up! Chris works 7 days a week and I can't carry heavy items up and down stairs and stack it in the garage so here it still stands! I swear we are a living breathing reality show.
Now onto the happenings around us. I have so many pictures to share from New Year's Eve when the kids set off fireworks and the kids at school and here at home. I promise soon my laptop will be fixed and I will post more photos. Sami is doing great. She got A's and B's on her report card and Ethan got all A's and one B. Hannah is also doing great. She is doing so good that Hannah is bored so they let her go help out with the handicap children to assist them with their work. Elijah and I sit at home all day unless we have something to do. Poor thing is so bored. I can't wait for him to be able to go to school. He loves it and miss it terribly. Chris did quit his weekend job. Last weekend was his last weekend. This weekend is our first together in a long time. So we are going to use that time together to finally take down the Christmas decor.!!! Never in my life would I have imagined this. I am still dealing with my illness. I wear out real easily and if I do alot of things around the house and or outside of the house I am down the next day. Unfortunaltly the med's I take daily all say they cause drowsiness but on top of having Fibromyalgia and Cronic Fatigue Syndrome I am always tired and sometimes feel like I have run a marathon. Its crazy to feel this way because everyone that knows me knows I just do everything and get it done and now its the opposite. However I just got injections in to both hips and I am have a procedure done on my back were I am getting a epidural and they are going to inject steriods into my back. Actually in between each veritbre in my lower back that has arthritis to help me hopefully walk with out pain and be able to function better. I am taking the Lyrica and I am trying to up the dose slowly to see if it helps any. So far I really don't see a difference in my pain went it hits. However with all that, I am still happy. I have so much more to be happy about and people to love and support.
Chris is leaving for Ft. Dix's in New Jersey at the end of the month for one week. So I have to take over the reigns for getting the kids off to school. Should be fun being we live about 25 minutes away from base were they go to school. Chris always just drops them off and goes to work then picks them up and brings them home after his work day is over.It saves us some gas money let me tell ya! I can't wait till the kids are just up the street from were we live going to school. Sami will go to Middle School and the other 3 to the elementary school just next door. So that will be perfect for me next year.So Ok, I will as soon as we get the laptop fixed or figure out what is wrong with the desk top computer not letting me put photos on my blog I promise I will get more post of the pictures out soon. Love to you all and again I am sorry about not keeping it updated.I hope reading this helps. So now you all can't email me and say why aren't you posting on your website!!! See I did it!

Love Cori and Family
