Just a little about me

My name is Jackie. I live in Rocky Point, North Carolina with my son(he's actually my step son, but hold your britches I'm getting to it), my daughter and husband. My husband and I have been together for almost 5 years, been married for 2 of those years(2years on the 23rd of this month). I love JB(whose 23) with all my heart, do we have a perfect relationship? It's perfect for us, sometimes I'd love nothing more than to rip his ears off but I love him alot. I'd be lost without him.
How we met is actually kind of funny. I was talking to an ex friend of mine and I was whining b/c I didn't have a prom date. She was trying to get me to take some guy named Woody(his last name is woody, and thats what everyone called him), I kept telling her no I'm not taking some guy named WOODY to prom with me...hell no....no just hell no but hell fucking no. I don think so. So I went to prom by myself and started talking to JB. (he wasn't in school at the time) Come to find out JB and Woody were the same people. So we started talking...and well the rest is history. For my senior prom I went with someone name Woody anyway LOL.
Before me and JB got together he was with a girl named Crystal. She got pregnant when they were 16 and gave birth to J on November 8, 2002. He was born with a congenital heart defect called Aortic Stenosis with valve regurgitation. Shortly after he was born he went into heart failure. The rushed him into surgery and did an emergency angioplasty to widen the valve. He was on alot of medicines as an infant but currently he isn't on any. He just has to see a cardiologist every year, they are trying to wait until he's a teenager to repair the valve again. At that time they will do whats known as the Ross Procedure(I'm not explaining what it is...look it up). JB and Crystal didn't last much longer after that. JB was on drugs real bad and Crystal was out fucking around. So JB was forced to go back to NC(they moved to Florida to live with Crystals mom to have the baby).
Shortly after JB and I started dating, Crystal's daddy(he lived in NC) came to JB's house. Apparently(J was alittle over a year old) J had come up with several fracture's in his leg and Crystal couldn't/refused to explain how they happened. The courts stripped Crystal of ALL custody rights and she got charged with felony counts of child abuse/neglect. She was in jail for(i think) 3 years, when she was first put into jail she was pregnant with J's brother(not by JB tho) Junior. Of course, being in jail, they stripped her of right to Junior and both Junior and J were put, temporarily, into Crystal mother Jennifer's custody. Jon and I fought for custody for 3 years and finally got custody of J in December of 2006. 3 days before christmas. I was almost 8 months pregnant with J's sister KK.
When J lived in he was allowed to run wild. He cursed fluently in two languages(Jennifer is mexican, crystals mixed, so he knew both englisha nd spanish), screamed, yelled, threw fits. So needless to say our first few months with J were hard. But now its been ALMOST 2 years and J is a different little boy. He doesn't curse at all anymore, he doesn't(really) throw fits TOO much anymore, and he DEFINITELY doesn't yell or scream. The only problem we have with J now is that when he's not with us, his grandparents(mine, crystals or JB) or my babysitter(Sonja, trust me you'll hear alot about her, I Unfortunately, other than being incredibly cute and adorable, my daughter isn't AS interesting as J's story. KK was born on February 19, 2007 at 11:21 am. She was 7 lbs and 21 inches long. My water broke at 10:15-10:20 and I got my epidural at like 12(maybe later or earlier). I pushed for 15 mins...yes thats right, 15 mins and she flew out LOL. She's small for her age, she's 18months old now and MAYBE 20 lbs-22 lbs. Theres nothing wrong with her, she's just little. (exactly what the doctors tell me LOL) But don't let her size catch you off guard b/c she's sassy. She's starting to get attitude and she doesn't mind letting you know whats what. lol. She has stayed with Sonja since she was 6 wks old. I actually didn't know Sonja until 2 wks after K(her nick names are: Kayby Baby, Baby K and K)was born. She lives on the road I grew up on, 2 mins away from my parents and I happened to pass her house and saw a Home Daycare sign, so I figured why not.. So i called it. And met my best friend. She's 29 years old with 3 kids(4, 6, 10) and has babysat kids for 6 years. She's the one who started calling K Baby K. I love Sonja with all my heart and I couldn't imagine putting KK in institutional daycare ever. Sonja's awesome. Every Saturday night(sometimes we take breaks) we play spades with her and her husband(David) while J stays the night with her youngest son Griffin. Griffin has helped J with his saddness over missing Junior.
