What a Wise Friend Wrote to Me ( Thank YOU!)

There are things that we all might like to change in our past, but then would we be where we are now? God does have a plan for us all. It's us that changes what he would like us to do sometimes. However, if we ask for forgiveness, then he blesses us and helps us get back up and try to better the next time. He is our Father and loves us unconditionally. Not that we don't make him upset at us, but that He will be there for us, we just have to turn to him.

Getting ready for 2008

Well we are fixing to say goodbye to 2007 and hello to 2008. Let's see, would I change anything about this past year? Sure, wouldn't everyone. I had some good times and some bad. I don't know why, but the bad sure seems to always come around the holidays. But we all have to look on the bright side and say "is this all worth it" and yes it is. It is a part of life God gave us, to live and learn. To forgive and forget. Never go backwards, so with that said, "Goodbye to 2007."

This year I am not going to promise anything, because that never works. I am going to try to be a better Wife, Mother, Daughter, Sister, and Friend. I am hoping that we do not have many heartaches. I am going to try to continue our church going as a family. Have a game night with the boys. Now that will be hard with all the sports they are in, so if we can have a monthly game night, that will be an improvement. Continue to support the boys and there sports no matter how exhausting it is on me. Try to take a vacation. I just hope that I can continue on the right path that was made for me by the Lord.

A Bad End to a Good Start

OK!!! Let me start from the start of the day 12/20/2007. The kids woke up and argued like normal. They were excited due to today was the last day of school for 2 weeks and they will be having there Christmas parties at school. I went up there and helped, got pictures of the boys with there teachers. Everything is going great, we came home got ready to go to my Party at work. We were there for about 1 and 1/2 hours and during the dirty Santa game my husband went running with Kyle and knocked chairs over and just kept going. About 15 minutes or so he came back and Kyle was throwing up. So of course my boss said don't worry about coming in tomorrow. So we get home and about 30 min. later Kyle was sick again. Peyton in the mean while started saying his stomach was hurting. Low and behold he got sick around 9:45. So here we are one with Kyle and one with Peyton. Kyle started slowing down in his sickness and went to bed around 10 or so and Peyton continued to be sick until 1 am or so. So needless to say it ended on a not so good day. Jason and I will probably be the next to get it. It never fails with something like this. David on the other hand has locked his self in his room so he can not get sick. Time will tell on that, but he usually is the lucky one in the family with this kinda of stuff. This morning I have given the 2 boys sprite and they are in a warm bath right now, just trying to have them feel better. They say they don't want to eat, but who blames them right. Well I better go get the boys and see how they are. I know they will feel alot better, I always do after a warm bath.

Decorating the tree

Yes, we have our tree up. We decorated on November 24. Yes, I did get up on Nov. 23at 3:30 am to go shopping at Kohls. This has been a tradition for my mother and I the past couple of years. I really enjoy this time with her. It seems that when you become an adult and have a family of your own you never get to get that one on one time with each other. So I want to let you know mom, I appreciate this time with you and love you dearly.

It has been crazy normal around here. I am done with all my Christmas shopping. I am going to get pictures of David playing b-ball soon. I keep forgetting to bring the camera. I think I am losing my mind with everything I have to remember now a days. I am ready for the boys to be out of school so I can sleep in 2 days a weeks.

Enjoy the slide of the boys decorating the tree.
