I've tried to make friends that can relate to me and some that I wouldn't mind being friends with in general. I've planned things, called people, tried to hang out, etc. but what always happens, they are either busy or its always maybe next time, and most times there is no next time. How many of you feel me on this??
Sometimes I use to wonder, is there something wrong with me? But I've come to realize that there's nothing wrong with me but God will put people that I need in my life and the people I don't need he makes it obvious enough for me to see that I don't need them at the present time or at all.
I love being around Mel and Maddie but sometimes they can aggravate me and vice versa because we're together all the time and I long for that girlfriend I can just hang out with and talk to. I'm not trying to have lots of friends but a few girlfriends I can hang out with from time to time wouldn't be so bad :-)
However, I do realize that sometimes after you've been through alot with people God is keeping you safe from being hurt again and he's preparing you for the right friends that you need. I don't feel bad at all because I know what God is doing in my life so in his timing he's going to send people my way that will have my best interest at heart.
I have who I need in my life so I'm not complaining just expressing how I feel at the present time. Maybe its the baby making me all emotional again...hehehe.... So, let's just remember that sometimes God is keeping us from some people and preparing us for those we need. Let's not get discouraged but rejoice because the future holds so much more...

Pregnancy during the summer time
We planned this pregnancy around January and were pregnant in February (I guess you can call me fertile myrtle) during this time I was excited because with Maddie Bear I was pregnant during the winter, so being pregnant during the summer would be a great experience, well- at least that's what I thought. After being pregnant during the months of May, June, July, and August I have come to the realization that I will NEVER get pregnant around this time again.
For the most part I will say it has been ok but this heat is beyond unbearable. I wake up in the middle of the night just to change my shirt because I've sweated the other one out. I'm always sweating so that means even on my face, so, I can't even where my make-up and with all the changes I'm experiencing I need it....hahaha
With Madison I didn't deal with complications, laziness, or a desire to just lay around all day but this pregnancy is beyond different. So, what they say is true- every pregnancy is different. Having a toddler running & jumping around all day and wanting me every 5 mins just makes things a little worse. I love being at home with Maddie but being pregnant with this baby and staying home with Maddie has really taken a toll on me. I feel like I haven't given her all the attention that she wants or needs. Yes- we play but not as much as we use to and I just don't have the energy I did when I was 5 months pregnant. The bigger I get the more sluggish I am.
With my husband, I must say I have a GREAT man! We've had plenty of arguments, silent treatments, and all of the above x 2 since I've been pregnant but I'm so grateful that he's been patient with me and has really helped out, more than most men would. He's gotten on my nerves and vice versa but the love that we have for each other always out weighs all of that other stuff. Today he came home during his lunch break and I was having another pregnancy "emotional" breakdown and I asked him to pray for me and he started to pray. Tears begin to run down my face and all I could do was thank God for sending me a man of prayer! I'm so thankful for that prayer because within a few mins I was back on track. He's been so understanding at times and for the past few days has been VERY patient with me. He downloaded a Pregnancy Workout routine and I did it for the first time today and at the end she tells us to relax and breathe in and out and I fell alseep so I'm hoping the next time that won't get the best of me but will give me a burst of energy.
I am praying for a safe delivery and a healthy baby and that's my heart's desire. Even though this heat is getting the best of me, seeing her little face is going to be such a Joy!

Happy in my own skin.....
I am comfortable with who I am and what I do right now in my life.
Most people think I should be doing whatever they have in mind but what I'm doing is taking care of my family and I'm Happy with that. I've had a few emotional moments b/c there have been a few setbacks but overall I'm Happy. I enjoy waking up to my 3 year old Madison every morning (except for the whole potty thing...hehehe) seeing her grow into a beautiful girl. I can proudly say that I taught her ABC's, how to count to 20, her colors, her name, how old she, her b-day, etc. All of these great things were done by me and she's known all of these things since age 2 or younger. Being a S.A.H.M I am glad I was able to see all of this first hand and I was able to see her grow up into the beautiful girl she is now. I am expecting another Girl at the end of October 2011 and I plan on doing the same thing with her as well and I'm Happy with that decision.
When I was working I had pretty good jobs... Legal Assistant at a Law Firm and I even went back to school and I got hired on my externship and started working as a Administrative Assistant for the Billing Dept at a Podiatry Office. BUT I gave up up those jobs to focus on my family and I have no regrets. We had some financial setbacks but God has provided and I'm grateful.
I believe there are some women who wish they could stay home with their children but can't and there are some women who want to be out there working and guess what there is nothing wrong with either one.
It would really aggravate me when people would ask well what are you doing these days and I say "I"m a S.A.H.M"(stay at home mom) people sometimes give good responses and some have something negative to say but guess what it doesn't bother me either way because I'm Happy being me and where I am in life.
Ladies and Gentlemen, there comes a time in life where we need to just be Happy with where we are, whether its working at a fast food joint, staying home with the family, going to school, not in school, etc. for so long people have always tried to put us in a certain category and they always try to decide what we should be doing and sometimes we do it just to please everyone else. I stopped that a long time ago.... Let's be Happy with where we are and where God is going to take us. If you're not in a good place right now and want God to change your situation just pray and ask for guidance and instruction on what he wants you to do. This life isn't easy and sometimes we get upset because we don't know what God wants us to do or what we even want to do but all I'm saying is until you find out what that something is.... Live Life Happy and just enjoy it to the fullest!
Everything doesn't go the way I want it to all the time... Sometimes I even cry, get upset, complain etc. I'm human and those things happen but I brush it off and keep moving and I try my best to please God in whatever I'm doing.
Let's live a life pleasing to God. Let's be Happy. Let's live according to his word. and let's not let the world dictate what we should do but do what you do and be Happy doing it:-)

Happiness
You cannot buy your happiness,
'Cause happiness is free.
Don't you know, or can't you guess,
It's there for you and me.
And what you do with what you've got,
Can change the way you feel.
Just do your best and smile a lot,
You'll keep an even keel.
Cause happiness is made for YOU,
Just take a bite and see
That happiness is what you do
With something that is free.
'Cause happiness is free.
Don't you know, or can't you guess,
It's there for you and me.
And what you do with what you've got,
Can change the way you feel.
Just do your best and smile a lot,
You'll keep an even keel.
Cause happiness is made for YOU,
Just take a bite and see
That happiness is what you do
With something that is free.

Potty Training= Headache!
How many parents are experiencing the same thing? TONS.... And what do we do about it? I'm still trying to understand why it's such a struggle for her to go to the potty. Is it because she's still dependent on me? Is she lazy? Does she just want me to change the diaper because she's still in baby mode? I ask these questions because I don't know. This little 3 year old girl of mine can ask for anything and can do just about anything except tell me that she has to potty or even just go on her on. She knows all of her colors, can count to 20, knows her ABC's etc. I thought it would be easier to train her because I stay home with her... NOT! hahaha... I just don't understand! Maybe one day it will happen but its really working that little nerve I have left, especially because I have another little one on the way. HELP:-(
