Hello all, I know it has been awhile since I have posted. My life is just incredibly insane. I am sitting here right now with the bushiest eyebrows. LOL Thought I would give you all a good laugh. Melissa and I ran out of time last night amist all of our frantic running around and so they are still not done. On a happy note...I am down to 132 lbs :) That's why I took this picture. Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ran a fever for 6 days straight starting last Saturday. Yes, I still took some Ibuprofen and went to the scrapbooking convention on Saturday and to church on Sunday. You guys all know how stubborn I am. I finally went to the Dr on Thurs. I am so stubborn and I hate going to Dr.'s. Sinus infections are no fun. I am feeling better now with the antibotics. I still have a slight fever though. Strange. I missed work Monday because I was so sick I could not even drive. I was weak and dizzy to say the least. Davyd was in California for military stuff so he couldn't come get the kids from me. Anyway,my house was completely trashed by my kids that day. It is still pretty trashed from that day. Imagine 3 kids doing whatever they pretty much wanted all day long because I could barely get out of bed. Melissa did come by and put some frozen pizza's in the oven for the kiddos. That was a huge help. She is so awesome and a lifesaver. I went to work the rest of the week.
Anyway, I have spent a lot of time this week catching up with old friends. I could have stayed home and cleaned but I needed to get out and clear my head. It has been nice to say the least. Although my house is driving me crazy right now. I have a lot of stuff going on in my life right now that I won't even go into. Craziness to say the least. It is nice to get away from it all and get a new prespective on life. I am remaining positive though through it all and smiling all the way!
Yesterday morning when I was getting ready for work my iron was not getting hot. I needed to iron my clothes. It happened to be the same outlet the freezer chest is plugged into. So I opened the freezer chest lo and behold all of my meat was defrosted! Ugh I was already running late for work. So here I am dragging my freezer chest acrossed the kitchen to a new outlet. It must have been a funny sight. Anyway, Papa came over and got the outlets to work on that side of the kitchen. For some reason that whole side went out. He is the best.
Today, I will be taking my car in to get new tires as well. It has really been one thing after the other lately....I am still smiling though. I refuse to let life knock me down! :)
This is what I have been thinking this week all we can do is make the best of what we are given.....and do it with a smile. Never give up or quit trying....constantly learning and growing......we can not change how others feel or what they want...we can only change how we feel and react to others and the situations at hand while understanding and showing the uptmost compassion. Everyone has their own pain and perspective. We need to remain positive and not take it all so personally. It usually has very little to do with us. We can only be happy for the happiness that we have had...and when it is time to let go embrace the experience and look for what we have learned and how we can grow from letting go. Love fully with no regrets and when your heart is broken again realize that it will only make you stronger. Trust that that person that broke your heart never meant to do it. Feelings change. What is meant to be will be. Things will work out the way they are suppossed to relax and enjoy the ride In the end if you are suppossed to be with that person you will be :) I know pretty long!
Love you all...............keep smiling...........:) HUGS!

You really are an incredible girl with an incredible attitude - way to go dear cuz, you are awesome and very inspiring to me. It is hard to think the way you need to think sometimes but when you do, your whole outlook changes! Thanks for the reminder! I admire your strength and tenacity. Much love to you and your sweet little kiddos!! love you lots!
Oh my gosh can I relate to the thing about the kids going loose in the house and trashing the place. I had to just let them do that Jan - March and most of the summer. I was so tired and sick from being pregnant and I HAD to have a nap in the afternoon. I let them "loose in the barnyard" and it has been so hard to rope them up again now that I am doing better and able to take care of things. They got in the habit of just eating whatever..whenever etc. I learned that sometimes you have to just let go and let God. (It works..He comes through every time!) The house can always be cleaned and you can recover. Just take a load off and relax. We all need to relax a little more! My Dad is visiting Lisa in OK and one thing she said was that things have slowed down. It's so true, when my Daddy is around you just switch to "take-it-easy" time. He and Lisa were doing a quilt together. It would be like going to visit Nan..same thing. Things became slower and easier, more emjoyable. I miss having a wise older woman in my life. I want my dear Nan back!! I miss her more than I could ever express and I'm sure you do to. We all do have a cross to bear and it's true..we have to remain positive. It reminds me of an old poem I once heard..don't know who the author is. "I'm wounded! I'm wounded! But I am not dead. I will lie down and bleed a while, then I will rise and fight again." It's alright to bleed a while. You'll be stronger. Love you!!
PS congrats on the weight loss! You look great!
Mel! You look excellent Schweetie! Good job! What's your secret? I would love to get down to 132. I haven't been that low since before I ever got pregnant for the first time. Wow! I gotta stop eating like a turkey put up for Christmas. It's just so much fun, until you gain the weight from it. haha Love your insights...we could all be a little more compassionate. I hope everything is going well for you. Love you a ton.
