If its not the husband...

Its the teenager.

My mother in law has a fantastic saying. She says "God makes them teenagers, so its easier to let them go." Ain't that the truth! I am ready for her to be eighteen now!!! It is easy when they are little, and the only friends they have, are friends of grown ups that you know. When they are teenagers, they sort of have their own lives, and friends who you have NO idea who the parents are!! It makes keeping tabs much harder.

What scares me more than anything else, is knowing at some point, some point sooner than I think, ALL of my children will be teenagers, and think of me as nothing more than a taxi and cook. It is crazy to look at her and see that she is nearly grown. As tall as me, with boobs, and curves and those crazy freckles on her nose... My baby, but yet a woman. No one told me about this 13 years ago. I am very upset!

So I have to let her be independent, and every moment she is away I am scared to death she is going to make a stupid choice, or get hurt because of someone Else's stupid choices... I want to just stick cement in her shoes and keep her here, but at the same time I want her to spread her wings, fly and find out who she is... I think.

Today I watched a TLC show, again. What is it with me and TLC? It was about a child who never grew, she was 16 years old and the size of a 7 month old. She also had the capabilities of only a 7 month old. I remember telling my kids to stay little, stay my baby. I am thankful they did not listen. Enough TLC for me for a while.

not everything i say requires a response.

 first off let me say, my shift key is not working so nothing is uppercase today. so sorry.   the new chick at work is driving me...crazy. short drive i know but even so. like seriously. crazy. she argues with everything, butts into any conversation started without her in it, and denies anything being done wrong. she's new, making a mistake is going to happen. if you do it, fess up, and get on. your not in trouble. shut up. quit denying it just say ok, and get on with life. it does not always require a response. just do it. or don't do it, whatever fits in the time. then i have customers like the lady today. she and her friends all got their pizzas. when i walked by i stopped to check on the table. i noticed that the lady was asking her friend to sniff her slice of pizza, of which she had taken one bite of. i asked if everything was okay 'it tasted funny when i took a bite' she says 'here taste it," she tries to get her friends to taste it, one sniffs and ...

some days

 The kids are just cute. I know I normally talk about how bratty they are. but today, well today they were just cute. All of them, even Destiny. Believe it or not.  Hannah came down the little car line to get into the van and she was smiling and so happy, and so dang cute. Promise had a friend over part of the day Bailey played mario and Destiny told me my shirt looked like a hobo shirt (it was Tims)  Today was just a good day. not sure what made it that way. the kids mostly got a long, there were a few SHUTUPS tossed out but for the most part it was pretty peaceful. I wish more days, were like today.  I went to Lowe's today to get a shelf thing to put in our laundry room. Its so exciting! TO think a shelf would be nice here, and then think YEAH, I'll put one in. See we can do that, cus we OWN our house! :) Its awesome!  I got a few more seeds today. Sweet baby peppers, zucchini and squash too. Yum. I really hope something grows this year. I am SO sore f...

Love the one your with.

 My mom and I were talking and lately her relationship is what I guess we could call complicated. During our conversation she stopped and asked me "Are you happy with Tim?" without hesitation I answered "yes".She told me that she knew he loved me and she was so glad I could be happy.  Later I was thinking about it. I have wondered is he "it" is he the one. How can I be sure, how is anyone ever sure? We have been together for almost 9 years now. Granted we've had our issues, but every night he comes home to me, and every morning he's next to me in bed. He loves me, he provides for me, and I love him and provide for him. Together we are raising four wonderful children.  Do I still get butterflies when he walks though the door? Well, honestly, no. Do I still miss him the moment he walks away... Again no, sometimes I am more than happy to see him leave for the evening and go to work... Does that mean I love him any less than I did when our love was...
