BUTT OUT!!

What I do is my business!! If you don't like how I live my life... You don't have to be a part of it! Believe me; I don't mind you being abscent from it.

I'm so sick of people trying to tell me that I spoil my kids and that I shouldn't allow them to have this or that! 

Do you pay my bills?? 

Do you take care of my kids or my family?? 

NO!! 

Therefore BUTT OUT!!

Yes my 8yr. Old daughter has a cell phone and goes to dance... My 6yr. Old is in football and baseball... You don't pay for that and you don't take them to there activities! 

I can't help it that your situation is different than mine and that you can't do the things that our family does. Don't be jealous of my life and my family and friendships so much that you feel the need to talk about it all the time. 

Get your own life and make your own decisions and leave me and my family out of your mouth!! 

1st day of the 1st and 3rd Grade!!

It is the 1st day back to school for my babies!

I can honestly say that I am nervous for them, but I am looking forward to the new beginnings that they are going to start and share!

Serenity is starting 3rd grade and has 2 teachers; Mrs. Story and Mrs. Book!! (yes I know how crazy is that)

Andrew is starting the 1st grade and has only one teacher; Mrs. Chapman!

Their teachers are young and seem to be very sweet! I hope that they have a great first day back to school!

It is a new year and new beginnings because they are at a NEW SCHOOL!

They were at Woodriver and are now at East! Its the same district just a different school!

I am honestly so excited but a little sad at the same time because my babies are growing up and with that is new responsibilities and journeys for us ALL!

So good Luck on your first day MY LOVES!

 

A test of true friendships...

"A true friend doesn’t care when you are broke, being a "pain in the butt", what you weigh, if your house is a mess, what you drive, about your past, or if your family is filled with crazy people. Your conversations pick up where they left off, even if it has been months (or even years) apart. They love you for who you are."

This quote has become a reality to me in the past week!! 

I have had to look hard and deep into my friendships lately! 

I have figured out in the past week that there were people in my life that were obviously using me for whatever their reason may be and I've realized they were never truly my friend to begin with. 

I don't like that I have wasted my time and energy on these specific people, but I also realized that maybe they were put in my path to teach me to become more aware of my surroundings and to love the REAL friends that I DO have! 

I don't know what to think or necessarily how to feel about all this just yet, because I had a lot of memories with this person and I loved her family like they were my family. 

I'm confused and hurt all at the same time... It's hard to think about at times because they were a good part of my life or so I thought! 

I don't know what or how to feel about it all really?!??! 

Playing catch up...

Sooo... Things have been crazy lately!! 

We are staying with my step mom at the moment and have been for a few months now, but are hoping to be moving at the end of September! We have been looking at places and have been mainly looking for a nice three bedroom home. 

My husbands work has picked up and at the moment he is out of town on a job training trip to further his skills! We are excited for the next step in his job and are praying that Lord guide his way through this and whatever His will may be... Let it be!! 

God has truly been so good to us and I am so grateful! 

We recently around the 1st week of July went on a cruise with my daughters dance studio and were able to relax and enjoy some much needed family time. We went to NOLA as some people call it (New Orleans) Louisiana; and boarded the cruise ship and then headed towards Progresso and then Cozumel Mexico. It was such a beautiful experience and I really hope we can do it again in the near future. 

School is about to start next week and I am super excited because the kids will be going to a new school that I think has a better staff and makes you feel so much more welcome! My daughter will be starting 3rd grade and my son will be starting 1st grade. I can't believe how much my babies have grown! 

I pray that everyone is doing well and enjoying the remainder of their summer. 

Remember to always love yourself and therefore it will help you to love others!! 

Frustrated about my hubby's work right now

I'm so frustrated right now!! Not with the fact that my husband is getting more hours but with the fact that I have NO time with him at all!! I love that he takes care of us and that he is doing all he can to make sure we have what we need and want for nothing! It's just hard because I guess you could say that I want the best of both worlds. Him to work like he is right now and to be able spend that quality time with him as a family!!

I feel like I'm being selfish about it but then again I feel like I have a right to be! I'm confused and getting depressed about it. It's hard to deal with at times and I can't stand the feeling of not having any kind of control over my emotions on it.

Lord help me!!!
