Daily Mom Challenge

Today I will not I interrupt my children when they are talking.

I do this more than I realized! It's a real eye opener when you actually catch yourself cutting them off. Ugh....hope I'm not alone on this!

Life

I keep telling myself I'm going to blog but I never stay with it. But here's another go at it.
It's that time of year for Lent. It seems like it just snuck up on me this year. I had only a couple days to think about what I wanted to go without this year. Last year I did pop. I was hard bc I am a big pop drinker :/ ESP cherry coke! So I can at least keep my 7up, I decided to go with fasting cherry pop. Since Wednesday though we've been drinking water. I need to go grocery shopping lol

I recently started following a mommy blogger on twitter who makes me feel like I am not alone in feeling like a bad mom. I beat myself up a lot bc I feel like I can be so mean to my kids when I get frustrated. And most "friends" on Facebook post all good things about them & there kiddos.....just makes me feel like crap sometimes :/ But Scary Mommy has helped me feel not alone lol
I'm tired of not feeling "good enough" for people. Loosing my friend Joe has opened my eyes to A LOT of things. I miss him. I keep saying "i wish...." & I don't want to do that with anyone else. I've already lost too many friends & I don't want to wish I told anyone something or spent more time with them.

Overwhelmed

I overwhelm myself thinking of others a lot. Like since my friend Joe's cancer came back, I worry about him. I'm scared bc I have never had anyone close to me suffer from cancer. I keep thinking, I'm all snug in my bed and Joe is in an awful hospital bed, how fair is that?! I'm sick with a cold and he is fighting for his LIFE!
I love my friends and I would do anything for any of them but all this worrying is taking a toll on me! I feel like if I stop worrying or stop comparing myself to them, I won't be a good friend.
God please help me and please save and heal my friend Joe!

Brunch with Santa

Well, we had our first brunch w/Santa today! The kids have been scared of Santa but today they actually STOOD by him for a pic! I was happy with that!
And I still cannot get either of my kids to tell me what they want lol SOO I hope they like what I did get them. They usually aren't picky w/mommy's gifts :)

December 2

The month of December is always CRAZY busy! I can't imagine what it will be like when the kids get older and more involved in activities! It will be fun though. Love my kids :)

It has been awhile!

I just learned that I can blog from my phone! So cool and I hope to keep up with this now.
We have 25 DAYS till Christmas! I'm SUPER excited about this! My kids are afraid of Santa but they are more than ready for some new toys! We went through their old toys about 2 weeks ago and I explained they would get new ones so they were so good with helping :)
We donated their old toys and we even bought some new ones and art supplies for the giving tree at church. I was amazed at how much the kids enjoyed picking things out for others. We did find some Angry Bird stickers lol they were only $1 so they got some for themselves lol Love my kids :)

Toileteers!!

Cody is a Toileteer! It's a club for those who use the potty or is trying to use the potty! 8o)
I found a book at the kids sale last year called,When You've Got To Go!, and it talks about being in the club. I guess it has worked because Cody went poop in the potty today!! He hasn't went pee pee in his pants either so I am SOOO proud of him! I have promised him some ice cream after daddy comes home from work if he stays dry all day so I am HOPING it works!!!!!


Ok, so scratch the happiness....he just pooped his pants. How much poop do kids have??? GEESH!!!!!
