Roller Coaster...


This week has been a roller coaster. The temperatures, my little angels at school, our daily life at home, and I have all been up and down. I'm not sure if it is the weather or the time of year but I am worn out. As I put my stuff away and begin to get my room ready for the the day, I stop and wonder if this is really what God planned for me. I often joke that I was suppose to live a different life but Kim Kardashian knocked me down, stepped over me, and took it. It would be nice to have an endless amount of money. I could handle having somebody do my hair and makeup every morning. Private jets, fancy cars, designer clothes, and big mansions don't sound that bad to me. As I compare her life to mine, that little green monster starts to take over my mind.  

 "Good morning, Brownie," my favorite El Salvadorian yells as he enters my room for his daily hug. As I hug Weezy and get him pumped up for his day, gone is that little green monster, and I know this is exactly what God had planned for me.

    Love this....

    I read something the other day that said that if the grass is greener on the other side, take the time to water your own grass so it will be just as green. I really loved that mindset.

Last Day...

Today is the last day for me to blog. I have really enjoyed doing it BUT I do not have enough time in my life to blog right now. There were times I was stressed to the max because I would get so far behind. I would get caught up and then get behind again. I love the ability to just let my thoughts flow so freely and see them in print.There were times I would want to write some things but didn't because of who could see my blog. Will I blog again? I will absolutely do it again!!!

Baseball...

      Well, tonight was the first night of Little League baseball practice. We had our first travel ball tournament last weekend in Arkansas. Baseball and I have a love/hate relationship. I love watching the game and Brody play it, and I love watching the game and hate watching Brody play it. The minute the game starts I get millions of butterflies in my stomach. This is his eighth year playing so you think it would be no big deal for me. When it comes to Brody and sports, I am a worrier. He can hold his own and stay right up there with the rest of his team but I always worry that he is going to get in a slump and everyone else will shoot way ahead of him in skill and ability. I have no idea why I feel this way.  I can tell you that it is a miserable feeling. I would love to be able to go to the games,  sit back and enjoy them, but instead I sit there and worry with millions of butterflies in my stomach. When the game is over, the butterflies are gone, I hug him...

Life...

     Life is so short!!! It seems like not long ago I was young carefree and living life as a high maintenance teenager. Now I am middle aged, with a child, trying to figure out how I got so old so quickly. Don't get me wrong, I love my life and wouldn't trade it for anything. Most of the time I don't really think about it but there are those times that it hits me like a brick wall. For instance, we had a travel baseball tournament this weekend. One of the other mothers was talking about how it was her mother's ?? birthday...she is only 3 years older than me😒. Yep, that's when it hits me that my life is halfway over. Eat the cake, buy the shoes, and take the vacation because life will be over before you know it.
