Let me sum up.

I haven't written in a long time. I have been busy. I love being busy except when it bites you in the butt. I have been sick quite a few times this school year so I think this summer I will....ok I will stay busy because I cannot stand doing nothing.
I have a sweet friend in Turkey that has introduced me to someone that has blessed my life. I am not ready to share that story quite yet because I need to talk to Sara first but know God has begun a huge restoration.

I am ready for school to be over. I have been sick quite a few times this year, I have no idea why. I love the sweet kids even the crazy one but I am ready for a break.
I plan to continue to use the blog as my accountabilty in Weight Watchers and exercise. So that will be part of my summer routine.. Not much else to share but I will post more often. I also am going to try new recipes. I am a novice to this but will do my best.

4 days till summer break!!

Momma's Day!!!

This one has been a hard one for some reason. I guess my life has changed in the last year drastically and I guess that is just a part of life, it is always changing. But, today as I went to see my mom's grave I was thinking of some of the things she taught me.
1. Never tell your dad to "Shut up"
2. Always go to weddings
3. Always go to funerals
4. Don't talk about someone with someone other than your mother.
5. There are people that will be nice/nasties.
6. Watch out for said people.
7. Always do your best
8. Keep your house clean. ( still trying to do that all of the time)
9. Laugh often
10. Serve others
11. Stand by your man
12. Never talk about your husband to your children...just your sister.
13. I will not know what tired is until I have kids.
14. Set the table correctly
15. Sing with your mouth open
16. Be your kids biggest Cheerleader
17. Leave work at work.
18. Be a woman of excellence and elegance
19. Be nice to your sister. She is all you have.
20. Take a shower daily.
21. Family is important
22. Hate the sin, not the sinner
23. Save money
24. Pay your bills
25. Buy nice things (on sale)

There are so many comments that I could leave beside each one because there IS a story there. But, that is between she and I. I love my mom so much and miss her like crazy. If you still have your mom...do NOT complain about her. If you don't...I know kinda how you feel. This is my dad 1st Mother's day with out his Mom and this is some of my friends 1st Mother's day as a mom. Life is funny and "Sucky" all at the same time. Good and Bad.
Mom, Your legacy Lives on Forever!!! Thanks.
