Remember When...

Finding Myself

2010-03-03T02:56:00.000-08:00

The past many months have been very challenging for me, and I have realized I am finding who I am and who I want to be. Its been a whirlwind of noncontrol, and its sceary! But there is a huge positive behind it, I am learning about myself. It has almost felt like I am alone and I am having to deal with life experences solo cause I dont want to burdden anyone, but I do know I have the best support system anyone can ask for. I know now that in order to grow you have to be vulnerable. Looking back I am greatfull for feeling that way but at the time I felt sorry for myself.
I was a different person a little bit ago and I never want to be that person again. I Love who I am and what I stand for. I work hard, I love hard, and I love me for being a strong headed, keep things real type of person. I am taking one day at a time! Cause thats all I can do.
I am going to be a better mom, daughter,sister, and friend!!!! Cause we can always give a little more!!!! I am getting rid of all negitive in my life and focusing on all my positive, because there is so much positive that I take for granted!!!!
So my summery, I have beautiful children, I have the best family, I love being a mom because its the greatest blessing in the whole wide world! I love being a daughter to the most beautiful woman in the world, I love being a sister to the greatest siblings. I am me because of them. And I like me!!!!!

Socks and Pushpops!!!!!!!

2009-04-06T23:05:00.000-07:00

So everone knows we all have too many socks in our home! Brayden gets off the bus today and says mom I got a new pair of socks today! And I was dumdfounded. He really got a new pair of socks from his friend and he did a fair trade! He traded a pushpop for a pair of socks!!!!!! I asked why he would do that and he said you always ask me to put on socks and when I go to find some to put on they arn't in my drawer. Well you ask where are they? Yes on my washer! Washed and not folded. I hate folding socks, it sucks, not only foldng laundry sucks but socks are the worst! WAKEUP CALL! When your kid gets off the bus and says he traded candy for socks theres a problem. Not only was I laughing at the trade I was really embarrassed, I was hoping the trade went down on the bus and not in the middle of class. So this is to all the busy moms who put other priorities into school and work and everyday chores, dont forget to fold socks or one day your kid might trade some delicious cand for a good pair of folded socks!!!!!!

Molly is so brave she jumps in even if no one is there and you go to grab her and all you see is hair. She comes out looking like cousin It!!!

Chucky!!!!!!!!!!

2008-09-08T15:14:00.000-07:00

Chucky came out today and it was scary!! Let me give you a run down on who Chucky is. Chucky is Braydens other personality. When my sister was little my mom used to call her Cybil for her other personality, so when she was up here he was having one of his episodes and my mom named him Chucky. So today Chucky didn't want to do his homework and he threw a fit. He was so mad he threw the remote at me so I told him to go sit in timeout, so he went to the corner and decided to throw the rug at me. Me, trying to remain as calm as possible decided to take him to his room and pull all his toys out and told him when he can calm down he can come out. As soon as I shut the door he started saying I HATE YOU, I REALLY HATE YOU!! I chose to remain calm and let him express himself cause I knew it wasn't him it was really Chucky. I called Lindsey on what I should do and she could hear him from downstairs. Then she said don't you just love having a Cancer!!!!!
So I am asking, who knows the right thing to do in that situation cause I feel I have tried everything. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

My cute Bray wanted to sit all by himself. I am sure he will warm up soon. Mr Wilebski asked all the kids if they heard the bell ring and Bray was the only one who raised his hand. He is already doing the best!!! Molly was really sad and that made me really sad. She wanted to stay with B at school. It crazy my baby is now in school.

My B-Mann is so big!!!!! He is in a small school that only goes to 3rd grade and there are only 15 kids in his class. We met his teacher Mr. Wilbeski and principal and they are so much fun!!! The principal sang a song with his guitar it made me a little emotional cause I know he is going to do so well with all the fun staff. I am going to volunteer as much as I can. His first full day is on Thursday we are so excited for him!!!!!!!
