I know that it has been a LONG time since I blogged last. I sometimes get so tied up in my everyday activities that I forget to stop and have "me" time. A lot has happened the past few months. Wesley and Makenzie had their "Big" birthday party , Superhero/princess party, and were very blessed to have lots of family and friends come and celebrate with them. We went in January to tour Mobile Christian, the school the kids will hopefully be attending. Wesley was SO excited to see what will be his classroom, Mrs. Liz's class. Makenzie also got to visit the K3 classroom and loved playing with all the "new" toys. Now every time we drive by Mobile Christian the kids say "mommy, that's my school!" It makes me happy to know that they are excited about going to school even though it will be one of the toughest days of my life!
In February we took the kids on a magical vacation to Disney world. It was a complete surprise. We didn't tell them where we were going till we landed in Atlanta and was waiting there on our layover to Orlando. They were excited but didn't get completely excited till we got there and they saw MICKEY for the first time. On the first night we were there I was taking Makenzie to the bathroom during the firework show in Magic Kingdom. As we were walking to the bathroom makenzie looked up at the castle right when tinkerbell lit up and "flew" across the sky. Makenzie said" Mommy, it's my tinkerbell!!!" I know this seems cheesy but tears filled my eyes! It meant so much to hear and see the magic she was experiencing! I knew at that moment that the week was going to be magic filled!!!
As many homeowner, Glen and I have been busy trying to get our house remodeled, slowly. We bought our 2nd house almost 2 years ago. We LOVE the house but there are things that we want to change and/or update. We have finally painted all the rooms, painted the kitchen cabinets, and now we are getting new counter tops in the kitchen! I can't wait!!! Maybe one day we will have the house how we have dreamt it to be.
As a mother everyday is different. As a stay at home mom everyday has different stress's. Wesley has reached the "I am 4 and want to be completely independent, stubborn, will see how far I can get and do just to see you "snap" age". I have days I want to scream and days I want to cry. I try to keep my life in perspective and remind myself how blessed I am to have 2 healthy children. I will never forget a little over 2 1'2 years ago when Wesley was in the hospital. That was one of the hardest, toughest, longest 3 weeks of my life. I remember watching my son, my baby, cry and scream out several times a day while the nurses wrap him up burrito style and give him a new IV because his came out earlier. I have never felt so helpless! There were many times that I cried with Wesley because it was all that I could do. Thankfully, after Wesley got the PIC LINE his infectious disease was cleared up after 2 weeks.
Thankfully we haven't had to go through anything like that with Makenzie. I am SO thankful everyday for my children and their health. After spending the 3 weeks in the Ped's unit at hospitals, seeing all different children and how sick they were, I am reminded how bless I truly am.
Now, as I mom I do have different worries all time, as most mom's do. I worry that my children will remember that I didn't read them that book, or push them in the swing, or help them paint a picture when they asked the first time. I worry that I have failed in some way, by raising my voice and not having just enough patience when i need it the most. I wonder how much my children soak in when they see me and Glen interact. If they hear us raise our voices or if they see us hug and kiss and say "I love you" enough to each other and to them. One of my biggest worries/fears is that I would fail my children. I pray that I can be a Christian example to my children and that one day I can witness each of my children being baptized and being able spend eternity with them in Heaven.
