What can we learn from them?











I had a friend once say to me, I look at my trials and think what am I to learn from this. This friend had many trials in her life and i loved her positive attitude. It has taken me alot of growing up to gain the wisdom of this statement. I look back at some of my trials I have had to endure; a divorce, infertility, the heartaches of motherhood, asthma and the loss of both my parents. Those moments in my life I thought it was the end all and that I just couldn't go on. Now I look back and am grateful for those same trials that made me who I am today. A stronger more empathetic person. I am grateful for my life that I have lived for without it I wouldn't be me and I wouldn't have those important people in my life that mean so much too me.

Not as young as I use to be


Well I went back to work at the bakery and I am finding out that my body isn't what it use to be.lol The back is aching, the tendons and muscles are killing me and if I get anything out of this besides a paycheck it would be losing 10 pounds.lol It is so funny how reality sets in and you realize you are not as limber or as in shape as the good old days. The bad thing about it is the house is suffering and the last thing I want to do is cook and clean when I am doing that for 7 hours everynight at work. I have learned that wonder woman was just a fantasy character and she really does not exist at least in this household. I am who I am and I can only do my best. Ya just gotta love me for that.

I love my children


I probably don't tell my children enough. I love them with all my heart. I wanted to write down all that happened so that I don't have to return 50 phone calls and texts so I thought this would be a great way to reach all of you. We had a big scare on Thursday. J.D. our youngest had a Terrible asthma attack. His oxygen levels were dangerously low and we could of lost him if I wouldn't of rushed him to my doctor when I did, which the thought of that has made me physically sick. The What if I wouldn't of haunts me. We spent 9 hours between the doctor's office and emergency room trying to get him stablized and keeping him stable. It was so scarey and I have never felt so helpless. We had to have him on oxygen to transport him to primary children's hospital and even with that my doctor was very nervous. He had never witnessed such a bad attack. By the way I have the greatest doctor in the world. I am pretty sure no other Doctor would do all that he did for my son, even Primary children's hospital were amazed at all he did. If it wasn't for him?? He loves J.D. so much!! His name is Dr. Darrin Smith and he is the greatest. Along with the asthma he had 103 temperature, was profusely throwing up, couldn't talk and couldn't stand up.

Thanks to my wonderful husband who is always by side. He is a wonderful husband and father and I am so grateful for that. I am also grateful to my Father in Heaven who was looking over J.D. through the whole ordeal and who knew that he has a greater mission on earth to fullfill. I want all of you who are reading this to take time today to hug your mate and your children and tell them you love them. There is no greater thing on earth as family and sometimes we need to stop in our busy lives and take time for what is really important. I love all of you. Thanks for all of your prayers!
