Mother's Day

I wanted to tell all the mothers out there Happy Mother's Day!! Especially my wonderful Mom. She has done more for me then she could ever imagine. She has taught me right and wrong. Good and evil. But most of all she has taught me to Love. No matter what I've done in the past (or plan to do in the future) she has my back. And I have hers. My mother is more than a Mom, she's my best-friend. I can tell her anything. And I do mean ANYTHING! If it wasn't for my wonderful Mother I have no idea where or who I'd be right now. She once told me that I should find someone who I respect, trust, love and honor to be like. Or somewhat like. I choose my Mommy. She's beautiful, caring, loving, and non-judgmental. She's everything I want to be when I decide to grow up. I love you Mommy!! Happy Mother's Day.

Poppy Tattoo

My husband know how much I wanted my Poppy tattoo. So on the one year anniversary of my fathers passing I got my tattoo. I put it on my left leg. You know when you walk on the street and your mom or dad walk on the outside so you don't get hurt?! Well this is a way for my Poppy to protect me. I love you Poppy. You're always in my heart.

One Year

It has been the most interesting year of my life. So much has happened. Some bad some good. Either way it happened. And most of it is for the better. I've lost my father one year ago today. One year. It's still hard to believe. It was only recently that I became okay with the fact that my dad was no longer around. I know that he's in a better place. He's happy, healthy and watching over us everyday. With this I'm grateful. He's always with me. By my side with every step. He's in my heart. Forever. I love you Poppy.

GET READY FOR THIS!!!

I'M 130 LBS!! I couldn't believe it myself. I went to the doc's. Got on the scale. Closed my eyes. Then she said the words....Wanna see? So I opened my tight eyes and saw the scale. I'm so happy. My doctor is happy. My kids and wonderful hubby are elated. Now all I have to do is keep it there. I'm on the right track. And it feel great!!!

Money and Children

Chris was handing out money for the kids this week and when he handed Emma her five dollars her response was priceless.

Chris-Emma, here's some money for you this week.

Emma-Thanks Daddy. OHHH I only need a two or three dollars. I'll bring you the change tomorrow.

Chris-Honey this is yours. All of it. We don't need change.

Emma-Okay. Cool. Thanks guys!!

With big hugs and huge smiles we said our good nights and she went to bed thinking of all the wonderful things she could get with her five dollars. As I sat down at the computer I looked at Chris and just smiled. My baby is aware of money. She knows that she doesn't' have to spend it all the minute she gets it. She knows how to save. It's so wonderful.
