The start of something new.

Well we are going to try this again. I had a great blog and it deleted itself. So here goes again

This is a blog to keep me occupied. I will be blogging daily happenings and personal dilemmas with myself. I will include my thoughts, my feelings and things that I just want to vent about.

I can not guarantee that this blog will always be interesting but I can guarantee that it will always be 100% the God's honest truth.

Let me start by telling you a little about me.
I am going to touch base on a few parts of my life but I will try to keep them short and simple for I will be blogging about them at a later time.

**Me**

Hi my name is Heather Suzanne Knight
I am 26 years old and I will be 27 in April
I am a 5'11" 190 pound girl who struggles daily with her weight.
I have self confidence issues, but I am working on them daily. And getting better I might add
I am a mother of three beautiful children
(more on them in a minute)
I am recently divorced out of a miserable 5 year marriage (we were legally divorced on October 29th 2007 but separated since September 29th 2006)
I am involved with a wonderful man who treats me like his queen
(more on Ben in a minute too)
I have been told I have a strong personality, and I pride myself on that. (although that's not what the person was going for)
I can be loud, but I can also be very shy(it just doesn't last long)
I have a quick sense of humor and I love that I can make people laugh just by being me.
**ok you'll find out more about me through daily blogs, that was just a start**

**My Kids**
I am a proud mommy to Bailey (8) Hunter (6) and Ethan (4)
My children are my pride and joy and my job. I am a stay at home mom.
Although they drive me crazy at times.
*Bailey*
Bailey is a blond hair, blue eyed tom boy. She loves to get dirty, sometimes I think she is dirtier than her brothers. But she also loves to dress up. She hates to have her hair done, but she loves makeup and pretty clothes. Bailey is one stubborn little chick. She struggles with a few things in school but were working on it. Bailey has ADHD. She is currently taking Strattera for it and it seems to be helping, but there are times when I wonder. I had Bailey when I was 18 years old so we are pretty darn close, she was the little miracle that saved me from years of partying and getting into trouble. I love her and would not trade her for the world.
*Hunter*
Hunter is my red headed blue eyed six year old wonder. Hunter is a quiet little boy but he also has a way of making himself heard. Hunter has his daddy's temper, not bad, but quick. He thinks many things through, you can sometimes just imagine the wheels turning in his head. Hunter is a very good student, he reads well and does math with the best of them. Hunter loves anything he can ride or push around. Ok anything with wheels might narrow that down. Including the occasional four wheeler or jet ski. He is a busy little man, but just watching him grow makes my heart swell with excitement.
*Ethan*
WoW Ethan where do I start, he is a brown haired brown eyed Tank. Ethan is a big boy. Ethan does not share the same dad as Bailey and Hunter and no he does not know. I am working on it (another blog) Anyway, Ethans dad is 6'7" and appx. 300lbs. Ethan is guaranteed to be a big boy. He is so busy, he never stops. This kid will crack you up, he is so darn funny. I don't' think he is trying to be funny I just think his "logical" way of thinking is hilarious. Another thing about Ethan, he will TALK YOUR EAR OFF! This kid never stops, he even talks to himself in the bathroom because he is alone and has no one to talk to. He is a delight to have around but exhausting all at the same time. One thing you should know about Ethan, he is DEATHLY afraid of the police taking him to jail. He wants to know if everything is illegal "Mom is it "illwegal" to talk with your mouth open?" Mom is it "illwegal" to walk through the house with your shoes on?" Mom is it "illwegal" to talk in your sleep?" I think you get the picture. I have no clue where he picked up on this illegal stuff but he's stuck on it. I don't think I will ever have to worry about him getting in trouble with the law.

**Ben**
I met Ben in July of 2007 on Yahoo Personals
We have officially been together since Christmas Eve of 2007
Dating and playing the field (as he called it) since August of 2007
Ben is my Knight in shining armor, he takes such good care of me.
I could not ask for a better person to share the rest of my life with.
Ben lets me stay home with "our" kids, while he goes to work every day
Ben claims my kids as his own and takes pride in being the best daddy ever
I love him and can't imagine my life without him.
Ben is a General Contractor for a company based out of Clio
He will be 22 in April (yes I know I am 5 years older)
Ben is very dedicated to his family
He has three brothers Caleb, Luke and Jake
Ben's parents are still together and going strong after practically 26 years
He works with his family (Uncle, cousins, brothers and his dad)
Ben is hard headed just ask him, he's never wrong.
But he also has the softest heart who can turn my worst day around in a split second.

**My Family**
My family is quite small.
I have one brother Jeremy who is married to Jillian. They have two boys Logan(2) and Benjamin(who will be one in August) and one on the way. We just found out yesterday that it is a girl. ( I think her name will be Olivia, but I don't' know for sure)
My mom (Pam) lives in Gladwin with my Step Dad (Dave) where they own and run a General Store
My Dad (Sam) lives in Oceanside California with my Step Mom (Sandee) and I know he teaches but to be honest with you I really don't know much about him
My Grandmother lives very close. We just recently lost the foundation of our family (My Grandpa) in August of 2006. Its been tough, but I know he would want us to be strong.
I see my grandma about once a week. She is a very reliable babysitter for me. And my kids adore her.
I have an Aunt and an Uncle who live in Clio; they have two children. Kim who is Married to Don and lives in Swartz Creek with their three girls. and Kris who is married to Carrie (my ex best friend, more on that later) and live in Clio with their two girls and a boy
I have another uncle who lives with my grandma, he is not married and has no children.
That consists of my immediate family. I have family on Dave's side (my step dad) but that family is not very large either.

**Friends**
I have a few close friends that I know I can trust with everything but I think I just want to use this space to kinda make a disclaimer so that no one gets offended with what I have written. I am going to use this blog as a place to vent. I am going to vent freely to my computer screen without the feeling of uneasiness that venting in real life presents. Sometimes I just need to let it all out but I don't' feel that I should do it to people who are also friends with that person. That puts them in an awkward spot and that is never my intention. I want people to realize that I am not writing this blog to anyone in particular, I am writing to pass my time, kinda like a biography. Contains my ups, downs and in betweens. I do not want people using this blog to spread information about anyone, or to get back at someone else. If that is your intention than my blog is not for you. Please hit the X in the top right corner. I will blog more about my friends at a later date.

I think that is all for now, just a bit on where my life stands.
I will be blogging tomorrow about this custody battle with my ex. Be prepared for some whining and complaining. Even some one sided opinions. I am not in this to be nice to him, just for the well being of my children and that is all. If you don't want to hear me complain. Then tomorrow is not for you.

I want to thank you all for reading and hopefully you enjoyed my ramblings!

Until Tomorrow
Heather
