What are the odds

Wow I haven't been able to write in a while due to moving, computer problems, & the list could go on forever. There is so much to write but I think I'll begin to tell everyone about my day yesterday. It was so cold outside that most sane people were nice & warm in their homes. It was about 19 degrees that felt like 5 degrees when the wind blew. Well I had to pick up my oldest from school & we had to go to the store to pick up a few things. I got the baby & my oldest daughter out of the car & we went into the store got the things that we needed & left. We made it to the car & everyone was buckled in, I was estatic because I was freezing. I turned to the cart to move it out of the way because I was free sailing to get into the car & leave. Guess what? There was something in the cart -the other package of wipes that I didn't pay for. UHHHHH! This is definitely a joke I thought to myself. I thought I am being punk'd or that I was on candid camera or something.
Any other person probably would have done one of these 3 things----
1)left the wipes in the cart & gone home
2)taken the wipes out & left with them without thinking twice about paying
3) taken the wipes home & then when it was time to go back to the store then pay

Well I did 4) took everyone out of the car & went in to pay- ---
Yes as I began to tell my oldest that we had to go back in to pay she was furious telling me that it is just to cold to go back in. I told her that we had no option we were going in to pay for something that we didn't pay for & that is the right thing to do.
With that being said it was cold but my daughter learned a lesson about doing what is right. Hears to going with the flow & making the best of it, also to life lessons that come from situations that arise. Well I will be going to bed soon, I hope everyone has a restful sleep.

It has been busy!

Wow it has been so busy lately for me with driving my oldest to school & then picking her up. Also I have had a lot to do at home, life really can be crazy busy at times. I came across something that I found to be encouraging, food for thought if you will. I will try to post it tomorrow. Well I hope that everyone had a good day. I pray that everyone is encouraged because there is so much to look forward to. Some might say well how can you be so optimistic you don't know what I am going through. Your right I don't know but one thing that I do know is that the storm will not last & it really is all about perspective. I have a dear friend that had cancer & has beat it. Was she optimistic when she was going through it? No she wasn't it looked very dark the storm was raging. Did her storm last? No thank God it didn't & she is alive & well. On the other hand I had a friend who I grew up with that had cancer & he was optimistic & made peace with his condition. He was determined to make the most out of his life & love his family & friends. I can still hear his voice saying don't cry for me but instead be happy for me because I know where I am going when I die. Wow! powerful because it is really on how you perceive everything that you go through. So let us live life to the fullest & cherish every single moment of our lives. Talk to everyone soon.

Are we under the weather again?

Is this really happening again? This is my daughters first year of school & she has been sick twice now. Then my 5 month old is teething (moms you know what I mean). Today was just a hard day with my 5 moth old crying & dirty tissues. My oldest coughing & the whinning oh my sweet-pea was just so miserable in the earlier part of the day. She seems to be alright now, playing with energy. It's funny because my husband & I try to be so clean & disinfect everything. Also my daughter washes her hands like a million times. Guess what? Yes you guessed it kids still get sick! On top of it my throat is feeling very raw I am definitely gargling tonight with salt & warm water. Bacteria, germs, colds, flu, etc----you are not welcomed you have to leave now. On the positive note this to shall pass they will get better, so will I. I always say God didn't say that we won't get a cold but I believe we get better faster with prayer, also medication if needed. Well I hope that everyone had a good day.

Today

Today was an overall good day, although it wasn't as productive as I would have like it to be. Where does the time go? I thought I woke up early enough & now it is time to go to bed. Wow! It is feels like it is not real almost like we are passing through time. It is so important to really step back & look at the big picture. I am alive & well also I have a family who love & support me. I hope that everyone had a good night.

Some things that are on my mind about Change!

There have been a lot of changes lately in my life. In life change can be good or bad. I believe it produces the ability to see what we are truly made of. Do we crumble under pressure? Or do we simply roll with whatever comes our way? I don't know what I would do without God to lean on because change can really be difficult to handle. Change can be tough down right ugly. I know everyone could write me about the good & bad of change in their life. The conclusion that I have come to is that I am going to live for today & make the best out of it. We aren't promised tomorrow & like I've said before it takes way to much energy to be upset & worry then it does to be happy & relaxed. Not to focus on our problems but to have a perspective of our outcome, which is our problems aren't as big as they appear to be. So with that being said I hope that someone out their can relate & let us make the best of the changes that come our way & become better people because of it. Well I hope that everyone had a good day.

SOUP Day!

Today is definitely a soup day, I have my oldest home from school. My youngest child is not feeling well & I am in the same boat. My youngest was up from 1:30 am to around 5:30am crazy! Oh mommy needs some sleep. I feel like climbing into bed right now & not waking until tomorrow (late morning would be nice). Yes those days don't happen anymore -the joys of parent hood & as I am writing my oldest is banging everything in site pretending it is a drum. WOW! AHHHHH! hahaha no but truthfully they are my blessings & I love them so much. These sick days do pass so there is nothing to have a fit about. It is always a good day because we are alive & for that I am grateful. I hope everyone is having a good day.

Change

Change......... Well there is much to say about change in my life it seems to happen continuously. You know what I have learned is to take it as it comes good or bad. In the past I would fall a part with things not going as planned but not anymore. Although it does catch me off guard at times. Change can be a good thing even healthy. With change I find that I can do things that I thought I could never do or withstand. Change has shown me what I am made of, shown me that all things are truly possible with God. There are many people that i know that fear change & say that they don't their lives messed up with something thrown onto their plate. I say how will you know what you are made of if you don't take that spontaneous trip or speak up instead of being timid. There is much depth to change & so many levels. I hope that everyone can look at change in a different light instead of fighting it embrace it. On that note my oldest is still awake she has a cold & is a little miserable. It is tough when our children get sick but guess what this to shall pass-- with that being said to everyone I say have a peaceful night.
