Family

I can't believe how much has happened this week. But I did learn I am raising very strong kids. My oldest Vanessa had to have 8 teeth pulled. At first they were only going to do 4 and then in two weeks do the other 4. Well the Dentist talked us into doing all 8!! She could still feel a little when they started and by the time they did the last 4 she could really feel them, because the roots were so long and close to the jaw. So was so amazing!! She didn't cry or scream so just held my hands and said ouch, several times. She is such an inspiration to me especially then. I hate dentists and have see one in over 6 years and really don't want to ever see one again. She went in knowing it was going to hurt and did it any ways. I can't say I would have done as well as she did.
The longer I have been a parent the more I realize I am learning more from my children then I teach them sometimes!!

Escape!!

Well it is going to be a fun week I can already tell!! Actually it is going to be full. I have 2 extra little boys tell Friday night. They are twins and 6 months younger then Brayden. So I really have my hands full.
I had two escape this afternoon. I almost had a heart attack. But we found them down at the farm in the tractors. Thank goodness my father-in-law saw them and put them in the tractor tell I made it down there. But the boys got to ride in a tractor so for the boys that made it better. It really does serve me right because my little boy did it to their mom last week. What goes around comes around they say!!
So I can't let the twin outside at my house with out me sitting outside and I can't let Brayden outside at Lana's house with out me sitting outside. So I am thinking I will get a lot of sun shine this week and get to enjoy the sounds of tractors!!

SMILE!!

Smile it make people wonder what your up to!!

That is my goal for today. I am going to smile and be happy no matter what the day throughs at me. So far it has been a tough day so I need to change my view and mind set. So I figure this is the best way to do it. There is alway a positive to everything if you look hard enough. My mom always told me to look for the silver lining. So here goes nothing!!

Becoming the Person I want to Be!

I have attended Time Out For Women twice this year! I loved it the first time so much I had to do it again with one of my dearest friends. We have been friends for a long time. I am willing to bet she knows me better then anyone in the world. (Probably even then my hubby in some ways.) It was so much fun and so uplifting it was just what I needed. I am so grateful to Kris for going with me having her with me made the experience that much better. Thanks Kris for going and for your support I was not prepared for Friday night and I am so glad I had you to help!!

I came away deciding that I am going to try and become the person I want to be. So my goal with this blog is to help me find the blessings and good in my life, family, and "Myself". I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one out there that struggles with finding value in myself and the things I do. I can always find someone that does it better, looks better, or that is just all the way around better then me. So this is one thing I really want to change. I want to be able to look at myself and find peace, love, and joy in myself. I also want my home to be filled with love and peace. I love my family and everyday I hope they know that but I also know that I don't say it enough and sometimes my actions say differently. So I am going to work on myself and by doing so hopefully it will help my family. So here goes nothing!! :)

I am going to "Become Stronge Again!!"

So here is one thing I want to change. I want to be able to take time for myself and not feel bad about it. It is okay to do something for me! So in Nov. I am going scrapbooking one weekend with Kris and I'm not going to fill bad that my hubby will have the kids all weekend. (I am telling myself this and starting now so maybe by the time Nov. comes around I will believe it.) Don't worry I am going to do it no matter what. I already said yes and they are saving my spot.

I am also playing more uplifting music in my house through out the day to help lift my mood and the people around me. I find that when I have fun up beat music around I am more happy and easy going. I will let you know how things go. I want to end with a few sayings that have stuck with me sense TOFW.

"Stay the course and see the beauty of life unfold before you!"

"Don't be the one thing that stands in your way!"
