Where have my 30's gone? I have wallowed the past couple of weeks about mourning my 30's and not accomplishing what I had wanted to do. I then thought of everything I have done<br /><br />1. I met W when I was 31. It took over 7 years but we finally got married in July.<br />2. To get to this point it took <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">a lot</span> of pain and heartache at times but the joy I feel with her is something I want for the rest of my life.<br />3. I got out of a marriage that was becoming abusive pretty quick. W and her home were my refuge until x left to go to another state. I have spent <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">a lot</span> of time mulling over this in the last few years and I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">realize</span> I did what I needed to do to survive at that time. My kids suffered for a bit but they are all fine now.<br />4. W had her own personal hell at times.<br />5. We have 5 awesome kids. No one can tell us we don't have a good family. Our oldest 2 are in the top 10% of their classes and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">member's</span> of the National Honor Society. We also have a 6<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">th</span> for this year. We are surviving <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">lol</span>.<br />6. I have finished 2 years of hellish counseling at times. Am I perfect? No damn I don't have to be!<br />7. I am about 90% done with my degree, I am suffering <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Seniortis</span> pretty hard this semester. I should <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">graduate</span> in May!!!<br />8. I am tired of having a dead Gay/ Lesbian community where we live. It's a hushed community and to be out is to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">crucify</span> your career.<br />9. I wish people would grow up. I would love to know how they would feel if they were fired because their hair was to kinky of curls.<br />10. My oldest will be 18 next month. I am finished raising him. Guidance is most of what is going on now. My heart is proud and breaks at the thought of him turning 18.Kerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07956589288032732653noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15297590.post-66082409560540387572007-08-31T19:43:00.000-07:002007-08-31T19:49:34.248-07:00sept here we come<span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">We are all back in school and I am already sick! Ew! Anyway W has a chance to get a vice-principal job in a school district an hour from here. It is a very hard choice to make. Some days I am all for it other days I feel overwhelmed about her being gone so much. I will not let my misgivings at times overrule what is the best decision. Her current position is sucky and this a a big step in her career. We won't know anything for a few more weeks so we have time to talk. </span>Kerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07956589288032732653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15297590.post-57464304067622244692007-08-22T14:30:00.000-07:002007-08-22T14:35:56.680-07:00why-o-why...can't a semester ever start easy and calm?!!!! I am supposed to do what they call a fall experience. This means I am in the classroom the before school starts and the first day of school. We do this prior to student teaching which I am doing the spring semester. I went to the education dept because I have not received my letter yet. Somehow my file has landed in a black hole. Now I have one day to arrange a fall experience or I cannot student teach and graduate in May!!! So not fair! Tomorrow I will need to go and see this through in between my classes.<br /><br />We still know nothing of W's teaching assignment. School starts Monday. Things here are mighty stressful. Not fun at all.Kerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07956589288032732653noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15297590.post-71867046305205108532007-08-21T19:03:00.000-07:002007-08-21T19:14:43.822-07:00revivalSchool starts again for me tomorrow. I don't know whether to be excited or not all I feel right now are the blahs. Kids are still home until next week which has made me feel out of whack. I usually get a few days to myself before I go back, not this year.<br /><br />Why revival? This blog has sat for a long time and maybe I need to revive it since I am reading blogs so people will know something about me when I comment. We have 6 kids this year 5 are mine and W's but one is a friend of my oldest whose family had to move because of the military. He is a senior and we felt we would give him a place to stay if he wanted. He is now here. We now have two almost eighteen years olds R and M both males, L is 16 and she is our band geek. N is 13 and he is trying to figure out where he fits in K is 10 and thinks she can do everything L can, and C is our youngest at 6 with an attitude that never quits. all robust and a lot of fun.<br /><br />People think we are nuts to have 6 but adding one more is not a big deal. What is a big deal is that we have 4 teens eek!<br /><br />I went back to church last Sunday for the first time in years. Not since I have been with W. I was honestly expecting this instant reconnection but it wasn't there. I went to a Unity church which is very different than I have ever been. I am not sure what to think right now but I know I want to have something back. Maybe now isn't the time for church since we live in an area not open to having open gay community.<br /><br />That's it for now folks thanks for stopping by.Kerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07956589288032732653noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15297590.post-87170898952251424552007-06-27T12:25:00.000-07:002007-06-27T12:45:04.444-07:00forever and a dayYup this is it!

Where has the time gone?! This has probably been one of the more difficult years in along time more because of internal cleaning out of old crap and the turning over of the basic way I think. A personality challenge to say the least and one that is continuing to change. It leaves me to think of changing this blog. New name new title. I will have to think on that, for for now I have my beloved and our kids. I cant ask for more than that. I wish everyone a positive outlook on the coming New Year and many blessings to come our way in 2007.<br /><br />I have <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)">a lot</span> to be thankful for and while I may not list them here I know them in my head and my heart.Kerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07956589288032732653noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15297590.post-6093337824601555092006-10-20T15:54:00.000-07:002006-10-20T16:18:46.049-07:00This Anger<span style="color:#ff6600;">This anger inside of me...</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">Comes from long ago</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">Far to young to be</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">And not old enough to know</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">This anger inside of me....</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">Came to be </span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">Because of someone I knew</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">I had no clue</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">Stripped of something before its time</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">I had no say</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">I think he is a swine</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">Someday he will pay</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">Today I have much rage</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">I want to be free</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">When can I see</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">The end of the gage</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">I have an important day coming</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">I want it to be something!</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">Free from this crap</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">and on to a new rap</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">I have a spouse</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">who does not think I am a louse</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">I also have a special friend </span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">who tells me I am near the end</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">I am looking forward</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">But right now it </span><span style="color:#ff6600;">feels awkward</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">Blessed be the day</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">I can finally shout Hooray!!</span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;"></span>Kerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07956589288032732653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15297590.post-1159235115292087742006-09-25T18:34:00.000-07:002006-10-20T15:46:27.697-07:00September is flying byWow Didn't realize it had been so long since the last post.

Not yet son!<br /><br />This weekend is homecoming...and the oldest first offical date sigh is he that old already?!

Both of us are exhausted for coughing, sneezing and lack of sleep from being sick. The kids are okay and we are working on getting better slowly. It doesn't help it is a cool 97 outside and high humidity to boot the heat index to over 105! Labor day weekend is fast approaching so we moms are looking forward to getting some extra zz's for awhile. </span><br /><span style="color:#6600cc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#6600cc;">Hard to believe it is almost sept and my birthday month.

I looked at him and said "tights?" To which he replied "yes Mom tights". Okay all Moms out there I am sure you thought of was girl tights at first? LOL! By the way the type of tights he need are something they wear under their football pants.Kerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07956589288032732653noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15297590.post-1155931805354305642006-08-18T12:49:00.000-07:002006-10-20T15:46:27.526-07:00reflectingI have wanted to teach children since I was a child. My Nana was a schoolteacher and I remember helping her grade papers on the weekends. We as grandchildren always got pencils and pens with our names on them. I always thought they were cool.<br /><br />I am due to graduate in the next 2 years, have been thinking of doing Special Education for awhile. Along comes all these new laws and now any subject that a child learns must be from a teacher certified in that area. So this would mean I have to get certified in all possible areas I would teach social studies, math, reading, english, science, etc. I will never get out of school! I need to step back and decide what I should do.Kerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07956589288032732653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15297590.post-1154375215023858922006-07-31T12:35:00.000-07:002006-10-20T15:46:27.468-07:00They're Back...!!!Yes all 5 have returned from summer visits to the dads' and we are back to having 5 kids! Yikes!! My gang had been gone since the middle of June and Wen's kids spent about 10 days in July. We are having our last quiet day until....Thanksgiving most likely.<br /><br />Tomorrow is Liz's B-day the child is turning 15 WOW!!! It is alo the start of band camp for the older 2. 10-12 and then 1-3pm. Everyday until school starts. Robbie also starts football camp next week as well at a jolly 6am. Do they really think parents want to be up this early?! I sure as heck don't!<br /><br />Wendy also starts back to school next week. Wah!I have LOVED having her home this summer. I love her more the longer we are together. I have to admit it can be incredibly tiring at times having 5 kids here but I couldn't imagine my life without her.<br /><br />So our summer is basically coming to an end. Where the heck did it go?! I have enjoyed it and feeel sad that school functions are rapidly coming upon us, but it also means cooler weather will eventually come back lol!Kerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07956589288032732653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15297590.post-1153871551500259332006-07-25T16:44:00.000-07:002006-10-20T15:46:27.415-07:00new dishes<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6953/1094/1600/dishes.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6953/1094/320/dishes.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />We were away this past week and of course stopped at an outlet mall that had a corelle outlet store! The big deal is we have been wanting a new dish set but needed one that would feed 7 people in one sitting. Plus looking at patterns online just doesn't cut it. I have always used Corelle heck even my grandparents had Corelle when I was growing up. The set I had was from eons ago and we wanted one that we liked.<br /><br />So here it is this is the Callaway design! I love it and Wendy likes it too. That is important too!Kerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07956589288032732653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15297590.post-1153691475113938022006-07-23T14:46:00.000-07:002006-10-20T15:46:27.303-07:00Update comingOuch I didn't realize it had been that long since I blogged. My kids-the older have been with their dad since the middle of June. They will be home next weekend. Wen's gang has been gone since last weekend and are due home tonight. We are coming off a week to ourselves and just got back from our own mini-vacation. The highlight was the Faith Hill/Tim McGraw concert in Houston last night.

What ever happened to keeping religion out of politics? Last time I checked there are many of us out there who believe in God and live according the way we believe we should. No one has the right to condemn us. If I want to have a certificate that says we are legal I want that right. I don't care about the word I want what is entitled to us. Open your eyes folks we aren't going away.Kerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07956589288032732653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15297590.post-1149214593099991402006-06-01T19:01:00.000-07:002006-10-20T15:46:27.139-07:00Blogging for LGBT Families DayThis post is in honor of Blogging for LGBT Families <a href="http://mombian.com/2006/06/01/family-day-entries/">http://mombian.com/2006/06/01/family-day-entries/</a><br /><br />We have families some big some small some just beginning the journey. We all have the common bond of wanting to be parents. Our children reflect a greater part of what and who we are. Our children go through the same thing every child does. Why on Earth would anyone want to ostracize these kids? Wendy and I have 5 we are a blended family and co-parents. We take care of these children yet because of society we need to hide a lot of the time. I have to deny I have any kind of relationship at times because of ignorance. It is so damn fustrating. Oops gotta watch how we act in public so we don't draw attention to ourselves. It takes a lot out of outings at times and most of the time we can't fully relax and just go. Stop staring and start educating. We are just like everyone else we don't want extra attention we just want what we are entitled to -benefits and security for our families. If one of us dies we have the right to bury them without a mound of paperwork. I have a right to have my name on this house even if I am not working.<br />We are real and are not going away.Kerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07956589288032732653noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15297590.post-1148508710206511092006-05-24T13:49:00.000-07:002006-10-20T15:46:27.083-07:00Summer is coming<span style="color:#6600cc;">Summer is coming. Wendy final day with students is tomorrow followed by a workday on Friday and then she is done. Our kids get out June 1st which also happens to be the day I graduated from high school 20 years ago! Yikes!</span><br /><span style="color:#6600cc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#6600cc;">I start back to summer school on May 30 and need to do well this summer. I had a bad Spring semester so I owe it to myself to do better. My kids are going to be gone with their dad this summer this is the older 3 and frankly I think it sucks. I care care of them all the time and want the time to spend with them. The downside of being divorced is custody but I am much happier with Wendy that I ever was married. That is the good part LOL.</span><br /><span style="color:#6600cc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#6600cc;">So my goal for the summer is to get myself organized, I found out I have ADD recently and need help to get that in check. </span><br /><span style="color:#6600cc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#6600cc;">Yes I still need to post a new pic of the thinner me but I need a haircut first LOL.

We all know it happens with kids and sometimes you can sneak away for abit and sometimes you can't. *Sigh* Right now it is one of those non sneak away times. I can't help it if I find my woman irresistable at times lol.

Wendy and I get it a lot lol and it drives us crazy at times. However it does work when we don't want people to know our real relationship. Unfortunately we have to do that at times. sigh. This is a picture of us from last summer in Orlando so what do you think? I am in the front Wendy is in the back. The picture is deceiving because I have lost about 30 lbs since then and Wendy has as well.Kerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07956589288032732653noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15297590.post-1146430464632050162006-04-30T13:45:00.000-07:002006-10-20T15:46:26.914-07:00Sick householdIt as been a week of everyone literally getting sick including the Moms, not fun when Moms are sick at the same time. I think everyone is on the mend except for C who is still running a fever at this point. My other half is currently sleeping because she too has fallen to the bad cold. Its hard to believe that May wil be here tomorrow and then gone again soon as well.<br /><br />School is winding down for me and the kids get out the beginning of June. Another year gone. C will start K in the fall wow. Before they were in school it seemed the year took forever now it flies. Just wow.Kerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07956589288032732653noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15297590.post-1145994837032353852006-04-25T12:39:00.000-07:002006-10-20T15:46:26.852-07:00The PastThe Past<br /><br />Sits on the sidelines until you think it is gone<br />Then comes back with a swagger<br />which sometimes feels like a dagger<br /><br />You run but can't hide<br />It's eating you up inside<br />Haunting memories near and far<br />Leaving your head feeling slightly ajar<br /><br />Anxiety is next to visit<br />and takes grand hold<br />You start to wonder if you will live to feel old<br />Life starts to unfold<br /><br />Fear is trying to be your best friend<br />but I refuse to bend<br />Go away I say<br />I don't want to play<br />Go and stay away<br /><br />Better I am becoming<br />A new me is forthcoming<br />Still scary at times<br />As the hill I try and climb<br />To get rid of the swinesKerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07956589288032732653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15297590.post-1145992867984730072006-04-25T12:15:00.000-07:002006-10-20T15:46:26.798-07:00Sick dayYou can the it is almost the end of the year for school for everyone.

We are a family of 7, my partner Wendy and I have know eacher other for over 6 years and have lived togther for 3 years now. It has not been an easy journey at times but we are both stronger because of it. We have 5 kids that we have brought into this blended family and think of ourselves as co-parents not step-parents. Our oldest is Robbie 16 and a sophomore in highschool, Liz is 14 and a freshman in highschool, Nate is 12 and in 6th grade, Katie is 9 and in 3rd grade, Conlan who is our youngest is 5 and is in preschool. Wendy is a teacher and I am finishing my degree in teaching as well and will someday rejoin the workforce.<br /><br />Life here is never dull and with the building of our new house earlier this year we finally have the elbow room needed for 5 kids. We have just over an acre of land and 5 bedrooms and about a 1000 sq. ft larger than our last rental house! It is a welcome to finally be done and has relieved the stress of building a house which was much more than we ever expected.<br /><br />KerryKerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07956589288032732653noreply@blogger.com0
