Day five of being thankful

I figured for day 5 I would be thankful for something that has 5 parts. My family.

Timmy- my amazing and handsome husband. A man who loves me all the time. Bitchy happy mad sad sick or ugly....he's always on my side and there for me. Not only for me. He has a big heart and is very helpful. He works hard to support our family and then comes home and does his part around the house. I an lucky to have found such an amazing person to share my life with.

Destiny- my first born. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to be her mother. She has grown into a smart, beautiful, funny and caring young lady. She reminds me a lot of myself. Seeing her nearly grown and watching her spread her wings is tough but oh so rewarding. I also thank her.... for pathing the way for her siblings. Being the oldest is never easy I am sure. I might have had her young and started out to early.... but I would never change a thing about her, everything happens for a reason and I an glad to have brought her into this world.

Promise- my blonde one. Promise is an amazing child. Like destiny watching her grow has been amazing and I am blessed to have had the opportunity. Promise is smart and beautiful and very willing to help others. She is a middle child and has to fight for the attention she gets. She plans to be an extreme couponer and says when I am old I can shop at her house for free. She gives the best hugs.

Bailey- my boy. My only son. Bailey has been through so much in his 10 years. After knowing we could have lost him....it makes you think how important every moment can be. Bailey is a lover and a fighter. He has the kindest heart of any child I know. He loves hard and with all he has. Becoming a big brother when he was just a baby himself...he was never jealous, always helpful. He's the best son I have. I am thankful to have him here, and healthy!

Hannah- my baby. Hannah is a little sponge. She loves to soak up everything she can. She loves to learn and to help others learn too. For an 8 year old Hannah is wise beyond her years. She knows it too....which is sometimes a bit of a downfall... Hannah is a great kid. She might be a little wrapped around my finger I'll admit...but she's my baby. Forever and always.

I am really blessed beyond words for all that I currently have. A wonderful family, husband, home, and job. I really shouldn't complain as often as I do!

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...

The pitter patter of little (annoying) feet!

 I remember when my kids were little and innocent and said super cute things. It still happens sometimes, but not nearly as often. They no longer pitter patter, they clomp. Things change, kids grow.  Luckily I still have my little neighbor girl Adriana. She comes over to play with the big kids quite often and is almost always a hoot. From taking her to the "lime berry" to just silly things she says. Tonight was one of those nights.  I have not slept much and wanted a nice relaxing bath... As I am headed in there, Adriana asks me what I am doing... I tell her I am about to take a bath. "can I take one with you?" Uh.... I have  a vision of myself as Micheal Jackson...No baby, you cannot take a bath with me.... So I am in the tub, and after a while Tim came in to bring me towels... So he was in there visiting with me, and Adriana knocked and asked if she could come in... Tim told her no. "Why? Because Clorie is NAKED??? What are YOU doing in there TIM!?" ...

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...
