Pay it Forward

I got in on this on Cherity's blog and thought I would do this one. Here are the rules:

Pay It Forward Exchange is based on the concept of the movie "Pay It forward". I will send a handmade gift to the first three people who leave a comment to this post on my blog requesting to join the PIF exchange. All the gifts need to be sent out sometime within the next year. How exciting to not know when your surprise package will arrive!? What you need to do in return, is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog, giving handmade prizes to the first three commentors. Easy huh? This exchange is only open to those with active websites or blogs, and you must be willing to give your mailing address in an email because how else will I send you your gift?


So if you're interested and can promise to pay it forward to three people on your blog, be one of the first three to leave me a comment, and you win. Who doesn't love giving or receiving gifts???

So I need some help here. The school nurse called the other day and said that Maycee's eye exam had come back and her eyes were reading different. She gave me a referral to get her eyes checked.First of all does any one know a good eye Dr. and second does any one know of one that does a free initial consultation? Just asking.

Cryin' my eyes out

I have been setting here crying like a little baby. I came across this blog via a long process but wanted to share if anyone else needed a good cry and a reminder how very blessed we are to have beautiful healthy children. Maybe my emotions are on edge and all from just having Mylee but after reading through the above blog I am both humbled and thankful for the joy and happiness that motherhood brings into my life. I know that I complain a lot and feel sorry for myself, not so much to other people but to myself after I have a baby, and I don't know if I am the only one but when I get like this and I have all of these raging hormones going through my system sometimes my other kids bother me, the things they do just get on my fetching Nerves. I try to take a breath and maybe a percocet ( you know the ones that they give you after you have a baby) oh wait a minute, new doctor, new prescription, he does not give percocet I was informed, only Tylenol 3 with Codeine. Luckily I am not the addictive kind, so I just settled for what I could get which did not do a dang thing for my nerves, don't they know they need to invent some kind of nerve pill for new mother's. oh I got off subject there for a minute. Anyway I do love each and everyone of my children, each one brings something different to our family and I would be lost without the way Landyn takes care of everything and is a good chore boy and is very helpful to me, or the way Austyn drives me completely wacko but then his sensitive little kind heart melts mine and clears it all away, or how Maycee bops around the house talking and playing all by herself while giving me that smile that makes it all okay, and then there's Braysyn who can't let me out of his sight, even while I use the bathroom, he has to holler that he likes me while I am in there to make sure I am not getting out without him knowing, and last but for sure not least is littleMylee she is our little blessing that dropped right from heaven and into all of our hearts. so I am sure that it was not a coincidence that I was led to this sight and to this post to let me see and appreciate all that our Heavenly Father has given to me. So here I sit with my little angel on my lap, having a lesson on life when I should be sleeping. None the less I am glad for lessons like these in my life. Love to all.

Cheers

........to a year of blogging. I can't believe that I have been blogging for a year now. I am so glad that I discovered the blog world. I love to be able to keep up with what my family and friends are all doing as well as get ideas and advice from them. Here's also to a New Year , I hope that it brings lots of happiness. I don't always make new years resolutions, sometimes I think about what I would like to accomplish in the coming year but don't pen it down. Here are a few of the things I have thought of so far.
1. I want to lose 35 pounds
2. I want to be a better mom
3. I am going to try a new discipline system for my kids.(thanks to my sister-in-law.)
4. I want to try to get my weekly FHE in.
That is what I have come up with so far. If anyone else has any thing they would like to share feel free.
