I love my mommy........

My mom is not only the BeSt mommy in the world but she is my best friend. She has been there for me in so many ways and I am so grateful for that. If only I can be half the wife, mother and even grandma(LaLa) that she is. This blog is just a shot out to let everyone know how wonderful my mom is and I love her so much.

The loves of my life.....

Well I had an awesome Valentine's Day and Birthday. On Valentine's Day my hubby got me roses and a day of getting pampered. Patrick had to work on my actual birthday so we celebrated before he left. On my birthday my kids took me out for dinner. We had such a great time but I did miss everyone. A few pictures from my birthday and Valentine's Day.

She's got the look......

Through the years I thought I had the look and boy "What Was I Thinking". Just stroll down memory lane, and no laughing.....
















O.k. if you must you can laugh.... I did this because todays my birthday and I needed a laugh. Love ya....

Girls Just Want To Have Fun.........

Well it's almost another number to add to my age. I am beginning to understand why people want to reverse and go the other way. I am having a hard time adding numbers to my age. I don't feel 30ish. They say you are as young as you feel, right???

Any-ways me and some girls took a day to get pampered and it felt so good. It has been awhile since I have taken a day for just me, myself, and I. Everyone needs this time to regroup and clear your mind of all the everyday chores.

Molly and Heather I had such a great time so thank you. It has been hard because I truly miss all my girls back home. We always have so much fun and I have missed them so much.



Please pray for me tomorrow on my birthday because I am home alone. Patrick left today to go to work and I am 2000 miles away from my girls.

Motherhood.......

Well let's just say that motherhood can have it's challenging moments. My husband is gone alot so I am a stay at home mom that NEVER gets a break. I get company in the bathroom as well as in my bed while my husband is away. Yesterday I kept busy cleaning and cleaning and well cleaning. That chore has no end especially if you have Lauren leaving in your house.

Anyways, my kids go to bed at 8:00 every night and is allowed alittle T.V. quite time. I got them to bed late last night and was eager to get them settled so I can get some quite T.V. time myself. I was relaxing in my recliner watching Nancy Grace (that I had recorded on DVR) and Jacob starting yelling at me to hurry and help Lauren. She had gotten sick all over her, my entire bed, and some on floor. Well what does a mother do. I had to give up on my T.V. time and get Lauren in the bath and had to take my comforter and sheets off and throw them right in the wash. Then I had to scrub my mattress down and Lysol everything. Then I put the kids mattress's in the living room and I slept on the couch.

It has been a long night but I love my babies and hate when they get sick. As Jacob is telling Lauren to stay away from him as a mother I have to open my arms even if there are germs......

I would have to say that I still want my mommy when I'm sick.

Learning.......

I am learning so much these days...........

First, I am learning slowly how this blogging thingy works.
Thanks Abbi for introducing it to me.

Next, I am learning how to have Patience with my kids. I am basically a single mother for half the month and it is really hard. Here lately I have been tested in so many ways and am learning how to sit back and take a few minutes before diving into something. My kids (well, really Lauren) has been testing me. She wakes up hating everything that I pick out for her to wear. Then she goes to hating the toothpaste I put on her tooth brush. Finally, as we are rushing out the door she hates the shoes I pick out for her. Is this totally a girl thing or what???? Boys are diff easier. All Jacob needs is a pair of jeans & a white t-shirt and he's as happy as can be.


Last but not least I need to work on putting the Lord first. I am trying to get up and read the word and pray first thing in the morning. I loved working at Sharon's Salon because I would go in early and I would sit and talk to Mrs. Sharon and Mr. David about our blessings and prayer requests and I miss that. Please pray for me and my family that we will find a church and start putting God first.


Well, I love and miss everyone.
