What type are you?




On a previous post i talked about yelling. That is still going well. I am yelling less. And i am also less stressed.

I ran across this quote and it got me to thinking about who i want the girls to be when they are older. What kind of example I am setting for them...etc.
I also thought long and hard about the example their dad sets for how a man should treat a lady. I think we are good in that department. The girls have told me several times that they admire our relationship. We both have someone we can be ourselves with and laugh and learn together. We share the same interest and have different ones as well and that gives us something to talk about at the end of the day. The girls will hopefully have long lasting relationships in life and a happy marriage. 

I think about the kind of woman Jaxon might end up with. Will she be similar to his mom or the complete opposite. 


Your kids are watching and listening even if you don't think they are. They might not always be in the room when you are talking with your spouse, but they are watching and listening. They can sense tension and stress and although they need to see those things too (i mean lets face it...sometimes our spouses can get on our nerves and vise versa) they need to see that ya'll don't have to agree on everything. But they also need to see that ya'll need alone time as parents. A night out. A night cuddling on the couch watching a movie. Cooking dinner together. Playing together and *GASP* they need to see ya'll kiss every now and again. In a world where you hear more bad than good thanks to social media it seems we always hear about the break-ups and divorces and cheaters than we do the long marriages, The happy couples. The ones celebrating a 60 year wedding anniversary. It still exist and our kids need to see that. We need to show them they can have those things too.

The torture. The madness

I try. I try to make food last. I try to stick to a grocery budget and sometimes ( more than I'd like) I fail. I'm slowly getting better at buying the important stuff in bulk. Our main meats. Beef. Chicken. Pork. I can stretch that out for months. The big things of Sunny D last about 3 weeks....etc you get the idea. The worst thing I could possibly do is go to Sams on a Saturday afternoon. WHY?? WHY do I do that to myself? It's not like I'm that busy Monday thru Friday! O well lesson learned. When I do go back it will be on a Tuesday morning....a few months from now!

Brunch!

Jaxon was sick this week. Which meant some of the following: Sleepless nights for both of us. Cranky mood swings for both of us. Alot of medicine consumed by him. Not wanting to eat, again him ( i eat all the time!) Wanting to be held but not wanting to be touched, mostly all him but sometimes me (on the days i didn't get to shower :) Nothing seems to go right when you are sick. Then one of the mornings he woke up at 4am he had gone back to sleep about 7am and woke up again at 11am! HOORAY! I remember saying when I too woke up! We both got some sleep that day! Him still not being in the mood for anything to eat..i whipped up some pancakes for brunch and he ate 1 1/2! I was excited! Until that afternoon when another cranky mood swing set in and he didn't want to take a nap. Therefore I didn't get to take a nap. Plus we had both not gone anywhere for 3 days and I think we were getting a little stir crazy. Just my guess. Because as soon as daddy got home we hopped in the car....

Johnson Family 2013 ~ Year Review Part 1

   This has been a great year of change, growth and accomplishments. Jaxon turned 5 this year and started Pre-K. Jessie is in the 3rd grade and she turned 9 this year. Jill turned 12 and is greatly enjoying the 7th grade. Him and Jessie love doing crafts at the table. Paint, color, draw, cut and paste! They are defiantly my busy bodies!    This was the year for wild and wacky hair. Jessie went purple at the beginning of Jan. They chose crazy hair as a reward for staying on the A or A/B Honor Roll. They are now back to their original colors and, even though the wacky colors were fun and exciting, I am glad they are back to their roots :)    I had spent hours in 2012 on Pintrest. And one of my Resolutions were to start putting my pins to use! I have the girls bookshelf a makeover. And even pinned my own work on Pintrest!    I became "public" about my Alopecia. Only family and very few friends knew of my new condition. And once ...
