Making Me Smile

It was an average Thursday,
but my camera caught my eye and these silly faces made me smile...















Happy Friday everyone!

Until next time,

Thinking

My mind is always racing. I mean always. I have 500,000,000 ideas swooshing around me constantly. Sometimes I wish I could just call a time out and have a moment to just write down everything into a list and call it good. I know a lot of other ladies out there can relate. So here's what I am going to do, I'm going to try to get some of those thoughts out and post them right here...it is completely random and free form, so take what you will from it...


I am frustrated as a teacher right now
I want to be sewing every day
There is a lot to do to set up a legitimate business
I want to be playing with fabric right now
K needs a new cell phone..his is MIA
I don't want to be coughing right now
Z's birthday was great!!!
I am such a lucky mom
I have more laundry to get through today
I should be resting, but I can't
I hope N has a good time on his field trip!
My class get's to go on a field trip next week
We still need the permission slips from the office
I want our debts gone and K's business to flourish
I love the bloggy world
So many amazing ladies out there inspire be daily to be more, but also to know I am enough
This house needs to be dusted and vacuumed in a bad way
I wish I had more energy this week
I have an awesome marriage
Drama annoys me
I love talking to people, but I don't want to hear the bad stuff over and over if you're not going to change it
It is so quite right now and all my boys are snuggled up
I love that L and N snuggle in one bed even though they don't have to share
I love that I get random hugs from my boys and that K always tries to make me laugh and smile

Whoa, that felt good! Sometime just releasing a few thoughts is all I need to quiet my mind just a tad!

if you got through this whole post you rock! If you didn't I totally understand!

Until next time,

A Teenager

Today I am officially a mother to a teenager. How did that happen so fast??? I swear he was just born and I just became a mom a few minutes ago! My 5 pound baby is now bigger than me!



I have to say having Z was the most amazing and scary thing that ever happened in my life! I was so excited to have him here with me! What a blessing this kid has been!!

He is so very smart, I mean scary, genius smart. He blows his teachers and us away everyday! His sense of humor is amazing and he loves to laugh. This kid does not hold back the belly laughs. His imagination and memory are unbelievable! His heart is so big and his love for his family is so strong. I find it humbling that this teenager still loves being with his mom and dad. I guess we are doing a good job instilling the importance of a close knit family!

Every time he comes up to hug me I make note to cherish it! Every time we are cooking together in the kitchen I cherish it! I am loving watching him become more confident in the kitchen. He is so open to trying new things. I love watching him become so proficient with his computer programming. When K isn't here to help him get through a rough patch in his program Z pushes through until he figures it out. I guess the stubbornness K and I passed on to him is good for something! I love that he is so willing and eager to learn good life skills as well as all his academic pursuits.

I cannot wait to see what the world has in store for Z. He has so much to offer this world and I know he is going to be an amazing man!

Happy Birthday Baby! I hope you continue to enjoy life and all it holds for you!

Love lots,
Mom

Sick Day

Just so you know I H*A*T*E being sick.
Colds, flu, allergies it doesn't matter the cause.
I am an equal opportunity hater of being ill.

Well guess what found me Sunday? Yup, the nasty keep you in bed, make your head pound and stomach sick flu. I was not a happy camper, no sir re. Doesn't the flu know I am a mama and I have boys to take care of, things to do, and a house to keep? I realized trying to be superwoman wasn't going to help, so I rested and slept and let my body fight off the invaders!

But guess what, it only knocked me out for about 1 day because we have been working on building up our bodies by eating whole foods and using natural remedies when we feel a cold coming on. I really truly believe that little bug didn't hang around long because my body has really built up its natural defenses.

I am grateful today for the bloggy world and my friend B who opened my eyes to the importance of good solid nutrition as a main source for physical health! The flu might get in, but it won't be able to hang out long!

I am feeling a million times better today just in time to become a mama to an official teenager (more about that in another post)! Holy smokes!

Until next time,
