Its My birthday!

 Today I turn 34. And I can honestly remember being about 15-16 years old and with my friends and we thought people in their 30s were so old. I thought we were never going to get that old. I thought I was going to stay young and immature forever. But, here it is. Its a bittersweet feeling to have reached this age. I am older. I act immature more often than I act my actual age. Not one birthday in my 30s have bothered me. I was 6 months pregnant when I turned 30. I had much bigger things to worry about at that time than to worry about my age. Like making sure my ankles didn't swell and I always had plenty of lemons for my tea and dr peppers. But today, it feels like any other normal day to me. I'm not sure if its because my husband is out of town at work. Or because my son told me today it was his birthday too and I couldn't have a cake, but I could have a piece of his. I swear he takes everything i have and wants it all to himself :) Its 1:40 in the afternoon and I am blogging. I ran about 11 errands this morning and not one of them was to stop and pick me up a present. Husband said I couldn't pick my present out that he would have it under control when he got home next week. Maybe that's what is bothering me at this moment. I'm not in control of my day. Kids still have to make it to school and be picked up. Errands still need to be ran. Kids have to be picked up from school. (believe me i checked, they wont let them stay there till June 1st) and soccer practice has to be attended too. I will have a day off when the hubby gets home. I think that's what he meant when he said he would have it all under control. ( i may have to leave post it notes all over the house in case i decide to sleep in on a random Friday!)

But, in this moment I feel that I do have it all under control. I have good health, a roof over my head, a car to get me to and from, food for whenever I am hungry, and 3 very healthy kids to get to school everyday. There isn't one day that goes by that I am not very thankful for another day to see my son turn into such an independent little man. To give my 2 step-daughters the love and care they actually need. To be the best wife I can be to the most wonderful husband I could ask for. To be a strong older sister to my little sister and hope that she knows I will always be here for her. To be a good daughter to my mom and an understanding grand-daughter to my grandma. To that I am blessed to have this birthday and cant wait for many more!

Where did September GO?!

My son was looking at the calendar the other day. Trying to count how many days to Halloween, he turns around and looks at me and says...."Where the heck did September GO?!" I laughed and said you are too young to worry about where the time is going! But yea I have no idea where it went. It seems like my post here lately is dwelling on where all the time went. Its definitely going by fast! And it doesn't help when every other post on Facebook is counting down to Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas! Geez people can we just get thru the first 6 weeks of school?! Speaking of school i have a a rant about the system. Or the lack there of anyway: I remember being disciplined in school. If I broke a rule I was sent to the office where my mom was already waiting for me. (Didn't help that she worked at my elementary school) but still. So not only did the principal lecture me about how talking in class and being disruptive was disrespectful, I had to get an ear full from...

I do it

  Since he could talk he has had a certain Independence about him. "I do it". I loved it when his little voice would say those words. Even though he sometimes had no clue what he was doing. Or he wanted to lend a helping hand with me, I have always admired that he was a hands on learner .     Now that he is 4 he really doesn't need much help getting dressed. I still stay present just in case he needs my help. "I do it all by myself" are the words he says now. It makes me a little sad that he doesn't need me for everything now.     "I'm hungry" are words I hear alot from him. So I tell him find something to eat and I will help you make it. I let him put the snack ideas together. He can open the fridge. He can open the pantry. So he can grab whatever his little heart desires.     Here he is with minimal help from me making a peanut butter sandwich. "Watch me mom" are the words I hear when he does something a...
