My Life/ My Morning 2007-11-07 07:19:00 So my mornings are very hectic as most could imagine. I am up at 6am most days and my first kid arrives around 6:30. With this in mind I try to lay out my kids clothes the night before and make their lunches, even by doing this I am still pretty pressed for time. I wake them up at about 7am. My son is pretty easy to get up he never usually gives me a problem, it's Miss Mackenzie I worry about. Read more:Morning
My Life/ Great Weekend! 2007-11-04 18:33:00 We had a pretty good weekend. I don't know what is wrong with me I seem to always be happy, I mean I think I usually am a happy person but I have really been appreciating life. It kinda scares me like maybe something terrible is going to happen to me. It just feels like all is going well in our lives. I don't find myself sweating over the little stuff, I mean I still have my bitch moments but my Read more:Great

My Life 2007-11-09 08:38:00 IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck
(written after she found out she was dying from cancer)
I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.
I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.
I would have talked less and listened more.
I would have
My Life/ Happy Thanksgiving....... 2007-11-22 20:08:00 It's Thanksgiving
night and we just got home from our traditional Thanksgiving movie. This year we watched Fred Clause. Pretty funny movie. Hailey slept through the entire movie, which means no sleep for her and I tonight. I made our usual Thanksgiving dinner and as usual my Sister Steph sat and watched. Oh I take that back she opened the green beans and corn for me, big helper just kidding Sis Read more:Happy
My Life 2007-11-28 10:41:00 "If we are not an accident, then we could also say that accidents don't happen to us — only changes in plans that we are not informed about. God is always working on His purposes in and through us. Plans are okay to a point, just as long as our plans don't get in the way of His purposes. And when He changes them, instead of getting upset, we need to ask what He has in mind now." RW
My Life/ My Girl 2007-11-26 07:11:00 This morning I was writing in another fallen soldiers guestbook this one is from our area. As I am writing to this family I could not help but cry. I often cry when writing in these guestbooks but I think it hit me hard because this Soldiers body is being brought in the same way as Todd and visitation is at the same funeral home. I was just imagining how his family must have been feeling at
My Life/ Confused..... 2007-12-03 19:34:00 I just got back from the hospital where I was visiting my uncle. He tried to kill himself this morning. I can't believe that I just typed that. My uncle, my favorite uncle tried to end his life today. Thank God he did not succeed. He has been on a downward spiral now for months now but NEVER did I think it would come down to this. My Mom called this afternoon on her way to the hospital to tell me
My Life/ Hailey is turning into Mackenzie! 2007-12-02 18:22:00 It's true right before my very eyes Hailey is turning
into Mackenzie. Not only do they look alike they now act alike. They love the same foods for example they both can't get enough of bread and butter. I mean tons of butter, I think they would each eat just butter if I let them. Hailey has to do everything her big sister does. And now that Hailey is getting taller it's like seeing Mackenzie as
My Life/ Finally I get to see my Grandpa 2007-12-12 20:13:00 Well I finally got to see my Grandpa
tonight. Yesterday my Grandma called me and told me that they could not regulate his heart and things were not looking well for him and that if we wanted to see him we should come in the next few days. That was just awful to hear from my Grandma she is always so positive. So we were going to go last night and my Grandma called and said not to come because the Read more:Finally
My Life/ Okay I'm just wondering????? 2007-12-09 18:27:00 Am I ever going to have a boring day where nothing happens? I am really starting to wonder.. I thought maybe yesterday was the day but as luck would have it I was wrong. We started out great we went to have breakfast with Santa which was great, after that we went to get our Christmas tree with the Mott family, which also was great. After setting the tree up we rushed to the Christmas parade where Read more:wondering
My Life/ Is there really a Santa? 2007-12-07 10:45:00 Oh that dreaded question of Moms with young children. Is Santa
real Mom???? I thought I would be having this conversation with my son, I mean he is the oldest. Nope it was with my 7 year old daughter Mackenzie while shopping in Target.. She took me by surprise. She casually states Mom I don't think that there really is a Santa, is there Mom? I'm trying to think fast so I ask her a question. I
My Life/ Letting go... 2007-12-21 21:27:00 I am coming to finally realize that my Grandpa will probably never go to his home here, instead he is going to be in Heaven and free of Cancer and of all the pain. He took a turn for the worse today. I seen him last night and I thought he looked horrible, well nothing could have ever prepared me for tonight. They moved him back to ICU and he now is receiving oxygen through a mask. Which is very Read more:Letting
My Life 2007-12-20 13:09:00 Saint Theresa's Prayer
May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be confident knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your
My Life/ Picture of Todd as a baby... 2007-12-20 09:29:00 The closer it gets to Christmas I think the more nervous I become. It will be our first Christmas since Todd's death. The reason I think I feel nervous is because I don't want to feel sad or see my family sad on that day. I don't want to feel that loss all over again. I think of Todd every day how can I not I see him so much in Emma but I try not to think of his death and that he is really not Read more:Picture
My Life/ Old Pictures... 2007-12-18 19:57:00 I was going through some old pictures on my computer and I ran across pictures of my nephew when he was born. It seems like forever ago that he was a newborn. I remember watching him be born aside from giving birth to my own three children it was one of the greatest experience's ever. (without the pain).... As most of you know my nephew was like my own my sister was not into the whole mother Read more:Pictures
My Life/ Great Wolf Lodge.... 2007-12-17 09:10:00 So we went to Great
Wolf Lodge
in Traverse City this past weekend. We started this about three years ago we always go the week before Christmas. The kids start to look forward to this trip starting in October and that's when I start saving for it. I must say that this year was by far the most enjoyable. My husband and I are really starting to realize that the older the kids get the easier they
My Life/ Merry Christmas.. 2007-12-24 13:40:00 My Grandpa is still holding on. He is out of ICU finally but he still is not doing well. He still has to wear the mask occasionally and it's not the mask that he hates this one is just a regular oxygen mask so that makes it a bit easier. John and I took the kids up there this morning. Now this is the first time that they have been able to see him since he has been in the hospital. You never can Read more:Christmas

My Life/ Thinking to much... 2008-03-06 17:46:00 Somedays I really hate being a women. No it's not my time of the month or anything, I'm just cranky. I have not had many of these days in the past few months but when I get them, I just want to run in my room and hide. Last night at about 7pm, I got so tired I could barely keep my eyes open, so I went to bed by 8pm which is very rare for me. I layed there watched some TV, snuggled with my
My Life/ Finally we made it to church... 2008-02-25 08:30:00 After about a month of trying we finally made it to church Sunday morning. Our previous attempts have failed because of being ill and the weather. Mackenzie was thrilled, I have no idea why but this girl wants for us so badly to attend church on a regular basis. Ever since Todd's passing it is something that I have wanted to do but church has never been an importance in my Life. I believe in God Read more:Finally
My Life/ Loving Daddy... 2008-02-21 12:42:00 After a week of being sick John finally gave in and went to the doctor. To bad the doctor said there was nothing he could do for him, he would just have to ride it out. He finally stopped running a temp last night, I have never seen him so sick I mean he does not remember hardly anything from this past week. I was talking about how we got so much rain on Sunday and how the temperature was Read more:Loving

My Life/ No more snow PLEASE... 2008-02-19 09:18:00 This has got to be the longest winter I can remember. I swear we get more snow everyday. I had a feeling last night that school was going to be canceled and sure enough all the kids are home today. John is still very sick I am trying to talk him into going to the doctor but he keeps saying that he does not need to. His seems to be more in his chest, his fevers are what bothers me, but
My Life/ Finally The Weekend..... 2008-02-15 18:43:00 I could not be more ready for the weekend. It has been such a slow week, I was not sure I would make it til Friday. The kids are on mid winter break, which means they had today and Monday off. Which means my house is pretty crazy.... Monday will not be as busy as today so at least that's behind me. I love spying on the kids, that may sound evil, but I get such a kick at how kids talk to Read more:Finally
