2 Princess' and a Prince

Well today was much like any Tuesday, I got Hailee up got her ready for school sent her off. Spent the morning playing with Lainey and Garrett. Bathes then lunch. nap and off to get Hailee. As I go through my day to day life I feel grateful that I have this life. I am grateful for my three great children. I am grateful for the friends I have made at our many stops along this life. I look at my kids and I think will they ever truly know how much they mean to their mom. Well maybe when they have kids of their own. I have sat and thought about the life we lead for the past few weeks and how luck we are to have the great family we have. With each passing day I think that is one day closer I am to my Grandma, and one day further I am from missing her. Days still continue to be hard, as I know they will probably always be. I miss her each day, but each day I think of all the good things she did and the great woman she was. She was truly the greatest women I have ever know and I am proud that she was my grandma. I strive to someday be even half of the women she was.






Today I got out all of Hailee's 3t clothes for Lainey. Lainey was so excited and her face just lit up at the thought of all these clothes and the fact that they had been Hailee's. It was cute she wanted to try them on, and even wore one today even though it was long sleeved and it was really too warm for it she was insistent on wearing it. Then when Hailee got home from school and saw them she said " Mommy I heard you talking about giving away our old clothes to another little girl and I like my hello kitty Jammie's I don't want to give them away" I told her I was giving them to Lainey and then we would pass them to Talia(my BF's little girl) she said no mommy I don't see Talia so I cant see her wear them. So I told her we would keep them with out special keep clothes. She is so cute.






Here are the Jammie's she liked so much.





Yesterday she decided that she wants to set up a lemonade stand to raise money for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. She decided this all on her own and I thought it was so sweet.





We let tutu Froggy go in the back yard today. Hailee was sad that we were letting it go, but I explained to her that we cant keep the turtle in the house. God wanted it to be outside with other turtles not inside in a tote. She was still upset and kept bringing it back into the house. finally she took it out and got busy playing long enough for the turtle to make its escape. Lainey was fine with letting him go. She said Bye Bye turtle and she was done. She did ask later for me to go get it, but I explained it lived outside and she said ok mommy.






Pictures of Tutu Froggy. Lainey colored the shell pink.



Garrett has developed some kind of rash, it is allergy related, but we are not sure to what. I have to out an ointment on it, and then we will have to watch and see if we can figure out what brought it on. I think maybe it was cats. The person who lived here before had cats and I think maybe that is bothering him. But we will see. I took some pictures of my house to share, so here you go. I probably should have cleaned it up a little more before the pictures but hey I have 3 kids you get what you get. LOL

Whew I spent about an hour preparing this post, then lost my connection. Luckily blogger is smart enough to save as you go so it wasn't all lost. LOL

I found this on the blog of Jenny and thought it was cute and I would post it too. Eight things about me.
1. I am very impatient. I hate to wait on anything. I think mostly this has to do with control issues, I like to be in control of everything and this is not something I have control over.

2. I am not a very self confident person. Despite what it may seem I don't have a very high opinion of myself and I have a constant need for acceptance. Often I am not accepted for me or who I am and I want to change myself to be what others would like me to be. Although I know I cant do this it really gets to me when I feel someone doesn't like me.

3. I never saw myself as the motherly type, and still don't some days. You know as you grow up you have this dream of how your life will be, yes mine had kids but I guess I never really thought of having them. I wanted kids before Hailee came along but I just never dreamed I would be a SAHM.

4. Each day that comes I learn I can make it through no matter what happens and tomorrow is a new day.

5. I truly never believed that I would loose one of my grandparents. They have always been the 2 most stable people in my life, the people I couldn't live without and I knew it would be hard to live without them but never dreamed it would really happen. But it did, my grandma is gone for over a year now and I am surviving despite what I thought. I have learned I am stronger than I knew.

6. I talk to my 2 best friends almost everyday and although they are both far away, I never see our friendships ending. They have always and will always be like sisters to me and I don't know how I would make it without them. Each has contributed to my life in different and special ways. And for that I love them.

7. I want to go back to work. I love working and I would go back if I could take my kids, but I don't want to miss the time with them. I plan to go back at least a couple of days next year when I can put Garrett in MDO with Lainey.

8. I love to wake to a clean house. There is nothing better then the feeling I get when I wake up and everything is cleaned up and in its place.

Well that is all for tonight thanks for checking on us, till next time remember to hug and kiss yourfamily and tell them you love them, today is gone and tomrrow may never come..........

I got an error message I will post the rest of the pictures of the house tomorrow I am tired. Sorry
