Mom Life Isn’t Always Sunshine & Rainbows!

Hello Everyone,

Guys, I have been extremely sleepy for the last few weeks and today wasn’t any different. Last night I had to do a home sleep study test which required me to lay on my back. Should be no problem right? Wrong! The problems I have with laying on my back is; either one it restricts my breathing or two I start choking. Either way it causes me to wake up more often then I want to. I’ve also been dealing with the average its summer kids don’t clean properly or leave their things everywhere problems. No big deal right? Wrong! I don’t have babies living here anymore. All the children are well capable of cleaning up after themselves but why should they. When they have a mother that can’t stand a hot mess of a house. So, of course you know I clean up when I shouldn’t. I always overdo, over spoil, over clean and so on and so forth. That’s just who I am. What can I say I don’t like a messy house.

Don’t get me wrong being a mom is the greatest accomplishment in my life. Not my book, not my blogs, not my youtube channel or anything else I’m doing in my life. Being a mom makes me the happiest I could ever be. However, I know this will totally negate everthing I just said about it being great. But, everyday isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes its getting a burger with onions and no pickles when clearly you asked for no onions and extra pickles. Mom life is real life and real life is often messy and upsetting.

Saying Goodbye to my 30’s!

Hello Everyone,

For those of you who don’t know, today is my birthday. I am 40!!!! Wow, I know I can hardly believe it myself. Every year in my life has been some kind of journey. Believe me, when I tell you, my 30’s had a whole lot of up, downs, tragedy, happiness and so on.

Some of the things I am most proud about are:
The births of my last two children
3 of my children graduating high school
2 grandkids born
I wrote my first book
Started my YouTube channels
Started Blogging
This list goes on and on. While those things were great. There were also some bad times. The most tragic being my near-death health scare. Which left me looking at life differently since 2010. Today I welcome 40 with open arms as a proud mother, wife, & grandmother. I am looking forward to the future.

Another Snow Day!

February 9th, 2015
Happy Monday everyone! I have two kids home today sick again. Just a day in the life of a mom.

February 3, 2015
Sitting here on another snow day with the kids. Feeling much better than I was yesterday. The motivation within me is flowing. My first goal for the year is complete. I have this new site up and running and am continuing to work towards my other goals. I am maintaining my focus for 2015!
