#4

My favorite 4!

Can't wait to get the girls School pictures I took, printed!

:)

.

.

Ive been on a roll.........many loads taking to the DI...

things cleaned out and organized and rearranged....

and even managed to pick up a few boxes that I can pack up things that are not in use.

I have a small vent.

.

My vent today is MEAN PEOPLE!!

Im not talking about those who have bad days and get grouchy from time to time.

Im talking about those who live their live putting down others....making fun, laugh, accuse, belittling and never thinking they are in the wrong and are blinded by the negitivity that surrounds them.

then they walk into church on sundays with a high head and soft voice.....

.

.

Intersteing that those who think....

"I go to church.....prepare lessons.....attend the temple....therefor that will save me from these actions I mentioned above"

.

.

Which brings me to my next picture!

"Keys to Happiness"

Ah ha! {light bulb} moment.

.

They are NOT happy.

How sad to be constantly unhappy!

To live in such heavy hearted circumstances to where you hurt others....possibly life long damaging to those you love.

sad!

.

.

I am NOT perfect.

At all!

Never will be!

I made my mountains of mistakes...

But I do know when its time to pull out.....be done.....throw in the white towel and protect the ones I care for. Even if it happens to be my Favorite #4!!

We ALL do wrong!

But there is ALWAYS room to do right..........its all about wanting it bad enough!

.

.

.

Surgery update:

All my holes are healing up fantastic!

They got them all out so that means I won't have to go back! {waahoo!}

And........they came back free from any odd cell nonsense!

And.........he gave me the go ahead to start running again...

{super glad.....its been months and I need to run off all my pistachio ice cream}

She is My favorite Ice cream Flavor.

I enjoy simple days with her.

.

.

She is purely brighter then the stars...... :)

I woke Up sick today.......Minor cold with a few aches on the side.

I will manage. I always do!

I will savor today relaxing with My # 4.

.

We have already started off with Tiny scratches all over her hands from the new kitty

Which is now covered in Cupcake band aids........

.

.

.

This morning has been an interesting one.......

With Only minutes of sleep last night.......I have felt every emotion I think possible.

.

.

I was givin TWO thoughts today by TWO people I love:

"Learn to say NO to the good so you can say YES to the best"

.

.

"Only you can change your life"

.

.

These both are what I needed to hear today for TWO very different reasons!

Isn't it funny when you can see the clear picture but can't seem to make it happen as easy at it may be......

Frustrating!

.

Patience!

Something I don't have ANY of....... :(

I want the waters to be calm.

consistent and calm.....

And its me!! Me, who gets to choose and decide that!

I have the tools.....

.

.

Be still my soul. Is what I am told.

It will happen.

.

I guess I will crack open a Dt. Coke and wait........

As I sit here and gather up names and thank you cards for all the dinners brought in last week,

I can't believe the constant flow of love and concern and kindness I have in my life!

How do you repay kindness.....?

I feel like I'm always in debt!

.

I had to take a picture of my NOW favorite new love.......this Utes Jersey! {sorry dad} lol!

Its from Victoria Secrets PINK line....I drooled over it.

and surprisingly.....it became mine.

In the most loving way ever........to where it became not about the Jersey anymore....it became more!

.

.

.

.

.

.

Until we found out it was a boy..........now its nameless....

I was thinking Lucifer?

What a Zoo Life we have------

School is starting soon, and HOW I'M CRAVING MY DAILY SCHEDULE BACK!

I'm ready to send these kids away for the day so my house stays clean more then an hour and 20 minutes. :)

.

.

I'm ready and in NEED of some sort of routine.....

Even if its just tossing the kids in bed by 9:00

Bubble bath with SONIC!

and eating sliced cheese and popcorn in my bed while I watch the news.

Oh how I miss those days........

.

.

.

.

This is my zoo life!

I am beginning to adapt.

spreading the love......

I surely wish I could share some of the COOLEST and personal bucket filling facebook messages and emails I have received.

.

.

.

When things are bad....things can ALWAYS be a gazillion times worse.

and realize while taking this picture of my 4 favorite people..............

Just how BLESSED I AM!!!!

Thank you to my neighbor for bringing me a sonic.....she must have been inspired.

Today it was Muchly needed.

..

In return........I am going to pay it forward.

I will put some sunshine in someone else's day....... :)

Oh the Possibilities.......

I hate when things happen around you that you have absolutely no control over.

Makes your heart feel hopeless....

Boy, I hate that word.
