Twilight Series

So I was poking around on this world of the internet. I found some fun stuff.


Way To Be A Mom...

I have been trying to keep up on all the schedules and responsibilities that come with the family. It is funny to think how much moms really do. I just have to say thanks to all the moms out there. Even sitting, we have a million and one things running through our minds, from appointments, to meetings, to bills, and all the other obligations. I love being a mom, I love the hugs, the kisses, the cuddles, the feeling that there really isn't anywhere better than being in mom's arms. So hug a mom today, even if it's yourself.
I also have started classes this week. Monday was probably the worst day in all my years of school. I have gotten so used to the idea of waking late, and spending time with the kids. Just lost in my own little world. Then reality hits and school starts and I find myself longing for the simpler days of holding my children. Here I am in the big wide world of adulthood, 'when did that happen and where have I been?' I am so lost and confused when it comes to all the material we are covering, and I think that I am the only one that thinks that. But then, I look around the room and I see all the faces that look exactly as mine as if I were looking in a mirror. The 'deer in the headlights' look. During one of the breaks I ask a few women how they feel leaving the kids at home, they all agree, 'I'd rather be with my kids.' At least I am not alone. So I start to wonder, 'Do I really need/want to be here?' I still ask the question, and no answer yet. I am grateful to believe in God and all his infinite wisdom. I would be going nuts if I didn't have His guidance. I know that I will have that answer soon. I know that the Lord will provide me with all the answers and peace when it is time. Just now how do I deal until I get there?
Way to be a mom... To want everything wonderful for the family and doing what I can to get that for them.

Dillon is Two

Our littlest is now a big boy. He turned two this last Sunday and it is amazing how time flies. He used to go to bed like a little champ, but now... he has decided to just stop listening and it has become a game for him. YEAY for us. At any rate, it is still sad to see them grow so quickly. My little sister just had her baby boy, and listening to her on the phone I am both jealous and grateful. I miss the days of snuggles and little baby giggles. I miss the quiet still of baby's sleep. The cues and noises that they just make without even trying. It is so fun. But I am grateful to the close end of diapers, and no midnight wakings. I do not miss the formula or the millions of diapers. So I sit here in admiration for all the women who do it, including me. And the dread that one day, I will look at my babies and realize that they are not babies anymore.
But what am I saying, he is only two! Ha Ha. Look at the one you love and thank God they still put up with you.
