when mommie is sick....

"I can't fight this feeling any longer...." well this feeling of being sick! hehehe sorry decided to give a little song clip in the beginning, and if you can tell me who sings those lyrics I will be a happy camper. So I have been sooo busy as of lately and now my body has decided to give me a swift kick in the behind and in the chest. I have feel as though I am going to cough my head off and poor my hubby...he's doing such a great job of taking care of two babies! Me being the stubborn woman that I am always give hima hard time, but he finally got me to go to bed at 7:45 last night. So while my body doesn't hurt as bad, my nose is like a facuet but so stuffed that I can't breathe and my chest hurts from all the coughing!

I can't believe that it's only a week and three days until CHRISTMAS!!!!! I am picking up my sister from the airport tomorrow and we are headed home to good ole PC the day after. This will be the first time that she is going to see her little niece so I am excited and I know that she is about to jump out of her skin. I still have so much to do this even before tomorrow...I just need like a ton of energy to get it all done. There is cleaning and laundry to be done, I still need to wrap a present or two but I feel so bad because we couldn't give everyone as much as I wanted to.

Money is tighter than I expected it to be and with my upcoming loan payments for school it looks like there is going to be a lot of ramen eating going on the in Roof house, which is fine-makes me think of college... oh how I miss the days of not having to pay any bills. But I guess that is what growing up is all about!

Well to everyone know that I love you and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Reflection Time...

So today is my birthday...I am officially a quarter of a century old...ewwwww 25 sounds a lot better! But while I was getting ready this morning I was thinking about my life up to this point. There have definitely been some really, really, REALLY crappy times...but there have also been moments that I wouldn't trade for the world. I am one happy camper this morning when I think of all that is good in my life.

I have a fantastic marriage....sure we argue sometimes, but at the end of the day, I love my husband and there's nothing better than going to bed every night beside him, and waking up next to him...he really does understand me and all my moodiness, and loves me all the same.

I have my master's degree and was able to hold my head high and walk across that stage to recieve my diploma, even if I was 7 months pregnant. It came with a lot of tears and sleepless nights, but it was worth it.

I have a wonderful job...middle schoolers are a different creature from most human beings, but they make me smile and make me happy to be able to work with them every day. And I got the job just 5 weeks after giving birth, and going through 3 interviews and sending out at least a hundred resumes/cover letters.

Most of all, I have a BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL AND AMAZING baby girl....my little Kenzie, and I really didn't think that I could love anyone as much as I love her...now I love my husband, but this love for Kenzie is beyond words. Even after the toughest day, I can pick her up and everything is right with the world.

So to all my doubters...yes, even those family members who thought that I would never amount to anything after my divorce, TAKE A LOOK AT ME NOW!!!! I am a happily married, mother of an amzing daughter with a successful career in the counseling field and guess what...I AM HAPPY!!!!! So HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!
