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!

Ahh a fresh new week.

It is Monday. Daylight savings gave me this extra hour of sleep and a bright sunny morning to wake up to. The weekend is behind me now along with that UNGODLY busy week. My best friend is home from her camping trip, I have learned how to use, and LOVE my new phone... All feels right with the world!  Over the weekend Destiny was gone. It was kind of quiet around here, but Promise made sure to make up for the crankiness and teenager (esq) that might be lacking in the household. Thank you Promise. Your just too kind.  Rooster boy came and stayed the night. Not sure why but my son always has these strange thoughts he thinks are good ideas when rooster boy stays... Not saying its rooster boy, my son even admitted it was his own idea, I just think when boys get together, they lose all ability to ration out what is a good and what is a bad idea.  So what was the bright idea this weekend? To "splatter paint" A bowling pin . I guess I should be happy, that at least ...

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.

Tea Party Time

 Today was the school mother daughter tea party. I took miss Hannah Bear. She had a good time. A few of her friends were there. They got to get their nails painted, some make up on... There was a stack of dresses to try on and then model on a "runway" oh and of course some tea and snacks! (my favorite part of course)  The kids school had a scare today. It was locked down and police were called after a man was seen just wondering around the playground at recess time. Again it makes me SO glad they go to a small school where teachers know parents and know when someone who does not belong, is there. No one was hurt, and the man just walked off when a teacher asked him his reasons for being there... Scary anyway.  This week has been slower than the last, for that I am thankful. I am still busy don't get me wrong, but I am able to keep my head above water with just a minimal tread. Not having to do the backstroke all week is nice!  It is nearly "my time" S...
