Here I sit in my last 2 hours of Friday wondering where the week went. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled it's finally Friday, but to be honest with you, I only worked 2 days this week anyway. Between the kids being sick and the slick roads, we haven't gone much. I don't quite know if I'm ready for another 2 days in the house with them yet.
I have had the 17 month old up here at the office with me the past 2 days because I couldn't stand our 4 walls anymore and I needed something different. Brent is home with him today. He told me as I left that I "owed" him one. I think I'm way ahead in that game and this is just a smidge of the payback he "owes" me.
Happy Friday...I can't wait for Monday

A Mother's Love
My dear friends, R & K welcomed their wonderful baby boy into this world last night at 7:13 pm. As I watched them with their new bundle, I couldn't help but go back to the day that each one of my bundles were welcomed. I knew from that day on, my life would never be the same.
A mother's love is like no other. Everyone has a mother. My kids have me. I have my kids. I always knew that I wanted children of my own, but I never understood what my mom meant when she would say "Someday when you have kids, you'll understand"...boy was she right. I have this amazing love and admiration for my kids. They are my reason for breathing. Everything I do affects them in some shape or form. I think about everything now. Before I did what I wanted, when I wanted. Now, I do what they want, when they want. I can't wait for my daughter to grow up and have children of her own and know the love that I have for her.
As I watch my friend with her new baby, I will see her learn the mother's love. I believe no one gets it until you hold that precious baby that God has intrusted you to take care of. I believe God is loaning me the most amazing kids ever!!

The Letter Game
Letter assignment game:
The basic idea: leave a comment on this post for a letter assignment and I'll assign you one. Then you write about 10 things you love that begin with your assigned letter. Post it on your blog and when people comment on your list, you give them a letter, and the chain continues on. Go.
My letter is "S"....here goes.
Sid's Diner...what's not to love. Onion fried burgers, Dr. Pepper that tastes just like the burgers smell, chili cheese coney with slaw, and fries with mayo. YUM
Sweet tea...especially on a hot summer day. The more the sweet, the better.
Sandals...I love feet. Show them off.
Sundays...means church with great friends and a great pastor. Also, means naps. I love lazy Sunday afternoons. Nothing to do, but be with the ones I love most.
Summer...HOT. I hate being cold, so what's more to love than summer. Summer was made for me.
Snap-shots...My favorites are old ones of when we were little. I love re-living the memories of growing up.
Salt...who doesn't keep salt on the dinner table? Everything tastes better when you doctor it up with salt.
Shopping...more for others than myself. Sure I can always find something for myself, but more often than not, I find something that I'm sure one of my friends/family would love.
Soda...especially when my bff, Liz, says the word. She's lived up North and adds just the perfect twang to it. My favorite "soda" is Dr. Pepper. I would give my right arm for a syrupy (is that a word) Dr. Pepper.
Sparky...Brent. When I met him, he was and still is obsessed with National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. It is a ritual that from Thanksgiving night until Christmas night we watch that movie. Also his goal in life is to have "Christmas Vacation" Christmas lights, so therefore he has earned the name, "Sparky"
