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!

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...

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...
