What is new with us down here in Texas......lol ;p Well, lets just say there is never a dull moment in my life...lol ;) I think all of you already know that by now, but as always the news just never stops flowing in........Where do I start?!?!?!?!?!

I am in week 8/9 for my two college classes Effective essay writing and sociology. I have a paper due on Sunday and lots of homework that I have to get done before tomorrow......can you say procrastination......I really do not like writing essays, but I guess there is no way around it in college huh? I sooooo look forward to the day that I don't have to go anymore, and I can just simply go to work..lol ;p Remember when I told everyone that I switched my major to medical....well, ya......it looks like no one switched it...so psychology here I come in two weeks...I guess it isn't the worst thing to ever happen to me, lets just hope that I like it and don't want to switch out half way through my degree. LOL My next two classes are uncertain as of right now....I think they might be math and science, but not sure.....wish me luck....lol

Jer has been diagnosed with sever sleep apnea...:(( the poor guy. And to think I just thought he was naturally grumpy.....hehe ;p Just kidding my love. ;) The doctors called the other day about his results for the sleep study he did last month and his results were scary. He stepped breathing 45 times he was there, woke up fully 35 times and was aroused from sleep 137 times.....The doctor was amazed that he was actually functioning properly during the days. She said that there was no reason why he could manage a normal day to day life....:( but he has been, grumpy butt and all. He manages to go to work everyday and workout 5 days a week yet can come home and be up till 5-6 am and still not be tired. They also said it could be to his body producing way to much adrenalin to keep the heart pumping and getting the right amount of oxygen he needs.....scary huh. Her last quote to him was "Now, with the C-pap machine, you should become a nicer person"....ha ha

The kids are doing well.....they get out of school here in June 4th.....LORD HELP ME NOW.....I am going to start looking for a part time job during the day so they don't drive me mad all summer long. I am concerned with my son though.....He has been getting straight A's and B's, but his teacher sent him home a letter stating he wasn't learning on a 1st grade level and would need summer school to make sure he was caught up during the summer, letting him to pass 2nd grade......I don't get it.....Guess I am going to have to have a nice chit chat with the teacher and ask why in the heck he is getting good grade but not on the right path......odd huh???

IN general, we were suppose to go down to Killeen, Texas last weekend to see Jeremy's uncle that is back from Iraq for the moment, but Jer changed his mind at the last moment and wanted to go this weekend since it is memorial day weekend. (more time off to play, I get it...but now we are broke, so this is going to be fun fun fun)....lmbo ;p

As you all know, we didn't get Nellis :(( I am still sad and depressed over the whole thing. I knew that there wasn't a great chance of getting it since the squadron he would be going into is really small and they keep it pretty tight with people.....so now we have to make a decision and quickly....hummm, it is either stay here in Texas till his time is over and he becomes a police officer here....(he could start the paperwork now and hopefully be accepted before he gets out of the military and then when he is done, we can transfer anywhere we wanted to go.....pros yes, but there are also cons to that too...being stuck in flat Texas for a few more years...Booooo. The other option is he can re-enlist and we can put in a BOP again to another base....now we would have to do this before a certain time or we lose that options.....one base in mind was Fairchild AFB, in Washington......(I don't know about the whole snow thing).....:( but it sure is pretty up that way and loads to see and do. OR.....we can wait and see where they give him (he has 5 options on his dream sheet to pick and they chose from that, if there is an opening)......one place he really wanted to go was Alaska.. so pretty, but dark half of the year and still that pesky old snow thing again....ha ha ;p

What to do, what to do.......as I sit and scratch my head.....NOPE NOPE....no light bulb going on in this brain right now.....I am at a loss for words.....(it is a miracle huh ROFLMBO)

Anyhow, I love and miss all of you dearly....and hope that I can see you one day soon. I really want to come out and visit this summer. Guess it would depend on what we are doing and where we are going huh? Oops....guess the whole loss for words thing went right out the window with my sanity.....LOL

OK, I am going to go finish my homework now.....hugs and kisses to everyone.

April

:(( I am so sad.....

Jers orders for Nellis were turned down lastnight. We are very sad. Now, we have to figure out what we are doing next....:(( Jer wants to say here in Texas, go through the police academy, then transfer back home...but that could mean living here for another 1-2 years..........Ahhhhhhhhhh, please shoot me now!!! I don't want to stay here any longer...well, more than we have to. Sorry for getting everyones hopes up...:( I really thought he would get it, since everyone around us is getting their BOP's accepted. SUCKY!!!

Update

Well today I get a call from my surrogacy Source agent and she is really upset with Josh and Sheila because they are not taking responsibility for anything and threatening her as well. Now, they are telling her that I have sat on my rear and done nothing..............(which is SO NOT TRUE) and that if they have to they are going to sue ME of all people............Grrrrrrrrrr, so I called Josh and told him.........."LOOK, I am tired of having to fight your battles and I have done all I can....I am done". He was really pissy with me, but you know what.....I DON'T CARE ANYMORE (and you all know me, for me to say I give up and or don't care, then I am literally at my breaking point). I have called to EVERY company that they have debt with and tried my best to negotiate with them on bringing the price down some. I even got one company to lower it 25%...which is a good amount for a 9K bill. One of the lower bills even said they would take 20% off if he would pay it today. BUT Nooooooooooo, this is not good enough for them. So, as far as my plans go for the lawyer, it is still on track. I am so sick of being the nice guy in all of this. Heck, I am still trying to think of Ethan by staying civil...but for how long till I completely lose it. And to think Josh had the nerve to tell me that My credit, pain and suffering for all of this is not something major or to freak out about.....

BOYS!!!

Why do boys never listen when mom tells them "DON'T TOUCH"????? I just don't get it sometimes. The kids and I just came home from going to the store and getting snow cones.....so you think they would be in a good mood and listen to their mother. HECK NO.....lol :P Zachary was climbing in the tree which is fine, but there are many many birds around here that are laying their eggs. Well, there was one nest about half way up our magnolia tree and Zach pointed it out....Of course being a mother of boys, I automatically told him, "Don't even think about it boy"....lol well, I take the baby inside cause it is really hot outside and I don't want to be in the heat if I dont have to be. I wasn't in the house for more than ohhhhhhh, 5 minutes when Megan comes running inside "MOM, ZACH KNOCKED THE NEST OUT OF THE TREE AND BROKE ALL OF THE EGGS".....Grrrrrrrr :( Of course, I get an "I didn't do it, she did and vise versa"......Oh how i love being a mother some days. Lets just say I don't think he will be climbing in my tree for a long time....cause he is soooooooo grounded...All I have to say is "BOYS"!!!!

FRUSTRATED!!!! Grrrrr

OK, so I need your input......Of course all of you know that I was a surrogate mother to Ethan Blacker. Well, my insurance denied all of my claims for my hospital stay that month last Aug-Sep 2008. Well if I were to total all of my bills they would come out to $60,000.00......use to be $50,000.000....but because the parents have refused to pay them, they are not starting to go to collections. I have sent them all of the bills via email 4 different times and every time their response was either "we are not going to pay this because we are taking it to the press" or "we want you to file a counter claim with your insurance to see if they will cover any of it".......this has been going on for 8 months now. Yes, Ethan is now 8 months old. Well, I called Josh again the other day and told him...."look you need to take care of these bills..even if it is only $50 a month, they need to be addressed".......and all I got out of him was "well, you can mail me the invoices for the smaller ones and I can take care of those, as far as the bigger ones I want you to negotiate with the companies AGAIN"........Grrrrrrrr, I am so done trying to negotiate with these darn people when I have NO CASH TO GIVE THEM.....They will not take matters into their own hands so I took one into mine and called an attorney (now, be aware that I have a legal binding contract with Josh and Sheila stating I am NOT reliable for any medical bills my insurance will not cover". They are.......so I made an appt for next week to speak to this guy about my options. All of these bills are in my name and not theirs so obviously they are going against my credit in the long run.....so who is getting screwed???? I AM, I AM.......well, I emailed him to let him know that I have this appt and he FLIPS OUT....."I can't believe that you are getting an attorney and going against me April, what did I ever do to deserve this"???? Well....hummmmm, maybe because I want all of these bills in your name and not mine......make sense right???? Well, they don't think so and I am down right frustrated. I gave them a child and this is what I get......remind me never to be nice to strangers again, cause I guess now a days people are just not nice nor care for others like I do.
Now, this is where I need you input......Am I doing the right thing? How would you deal with this load of crap? OH YA, and how would you approach Josh and Sheila....cause I have stopped answering his 100 phone calls a day to harass me about this matter. UGH!!! Anyone want to trade me shoes?????
THANKS FOR LETTING ME VENT....xoxoxox love you

OK, so I was told today that I needed to create a blog so everyone can keep up with us Hunts down here in Texas....well, here is it. LOL :P Not much to say these days besides that life is hectic as always. When do we ever stop to smell the roses? It seems like never. Between the kids, their schooling, homework, Jers job and fixing up the house, we really don't have time to breath let alone stop. We are still waiting on his orders to come though. Can you believe that it has been well over a month now since he has put in for Nellis and still no word? It is nuts. I find myself just wanting an answer, no matter what kind of answer it may be. Not knowing is the hardest thing to do. I do hope that we get to come home cause Jer and I need it.....we all love and miss everyone dearly and being away is really hard on all of us. I think we just really need a darn break for once. As far as school goes, everything is going really well...I am working on my 5 and 6th classes right now. Tomorrow will be week 6 of 9, so I need to get my booty in gear is I want to keep my A's in these classes, I tell you though, it is not as easy as it was back in high school, but in the end it is going to be so worth it.....now if I can remind myself that every time I get frustrated on those hard assignments. LOL :P I will try to keep everyone up to date on what is going on in our world. Love and miss you all much.

April, Jer and kiddos.
