Proud mama

Often times I just blog away about things on my nerves ...seldom do I think to blog about better things.  So today I'm blogging some positive things...about my beautiful children.

First my birthday girl,  hannah. I always give my kids money for thier birthdays. Hannah knows things are tight right now,  and told me she was okay with not getting her birthday cash. 11 years but far more mature.

Then Destiny ... were having a "cookie party " on Sunday and I was telling my friend that I was going to have everyone bring some powdered sugar and maybe food color to help out. Destiny went to the store...bought a pack of both (and me a diet coke).

Bailey has been struggling in school...and mentioned that he'd like to stay after class for tutoring. Daddy said he'd look into that for him....but today he rode his bike to school and stayed after for tutoring all on his own. He also got all his missing assignments turned in.

Promise. Well Promise is usually just an awesome kid. She's been babysitting my friends little boy,  going to church,  taking pre AP classes... she always is pretty low maintenance always says thank you and tells me she loves me.

So even though this time of year is stressful.  Bills are high, pay is low,  hours are being cut...regardless of that. I have a pretty awesome family!

Time Flies

A year ago today my best friend gave birth to her second little boy. TWO years ago tomorrow my first granddaughter was born. Both seem like yesterday, but also so long ago. Two years in a row almost on the same day I got to watch the miracle of life happen... I have done it myself four times, but it never ceases to amaze me. To watch it is just amazing that our body does that. GROWS someone in side of us and then gets that someone OUT. Just amazing. Life is stressing me out right now however, I am trying to take this weekend to just tune out anything and everything that is getting to me, just have fun, go to birthday parties, eat cake and not worrry. Not worry about bills or calories or my steps (I even took my fit bit off) Just be me, just enjoy what there is in life to enjoy. My amazing friends, and my crazy family and the hot summer weather.

So Whats up with my oddly normal life?

 Huh huh? Cus it seems that I am never ever updating my blog these days. I am such a sloth!  Things happen and I think how I should blog about them and then I figure they are not really so interesting if you were not here. Then I remember I blog for me, not really for someone else. I want to be able to remember things, to come back and go oh yeah... Those were the days. Or whatever. I can't do that if I don't blog it.  I am going to try to be more regular with the blogs again, even if its what I made for dinner, and  how my husband kept me up snoring. If it doesn't interest you, you don't have to read it right!? :)  So whats been going on? the kids are growing. I got contacts, I am not sure how I feel about them just yet. Sometimes they are great, and sometimes I feel like I have an eye full of hair. Sometimes I can see great with them in, and other times everything is blurrier than when I had  them out. Meanwhile I wear my scratched up glasses while ...

Its not always 50/50

 Sometimes one person has to hold up more weight than the other does. Lately I feel as though I am that person holding the extra weight. Lately I have been wishing I was not that person. I feel like I am being spread a bit too thin... I also feel like no matter how many times I try to explain myself, it does not matter.  So I will just keep waiting, and hopefully eventually someone will come and take a few books off of my stack. Take a load off. Help me out. Chip in. You get it? I am sure you do. Now if only other people did as well.  God doesnt give you more than you can handle. I wonder sometimes if He thinks the load he's giving me is being more evenly distributed than it is... Maybe he can review my case :)
