just some random thoughts today.is your life where you thought it would be?
mine definately isn't.now don't get me wrong,i never imagined i would have everything handed to me on a silver platter. and wouldn't want it that way. i like working for everything we get.but i honestly was raised thinking if you live right and do onto other's your life will be good.if you worked hard you would be rewarded.i am blessed in many area's of my life, for example i have a wonderful husband who would do anything for me and the kids.and i was definately blessed with beautiful,thoughtful children who i love more then anything.
but my life is so much harder then i thought it would be. so many struggles and i know the tough times only make you stronger. and they make you appreciate what you do have.i learned that lesson well after we went homeless and lost everything. i don't miss the material things, the only thing i miss that we lost is my kids baby books those are not replaceable, and all the pictures of my 4 older kids as babies. thankfully my mom and sister gave me all of the pics they had from when my older kids were babies.i cherish them. and have started a scrapbook for each of my kids with their pictures so they have some type of baby books. i just wish somedays life would be easy, it would be a nice change of pace.
hey i can dream right? LOL!

Honestly, I'm better off than I ever thought I'd be. I feel spoiled that I've gotten so lucky. I have an amazing husband, and two beautiful children. My biggest fear was that I wouldn't be able to have children, yet both of them were surprises. I read so many blogs of adoption, women who would do anything to concieve a child or adopt one. Why was it so easy for me? I never thought I'd be able to afford to stay home with my children, yet I am. I dont know why it came so easily for me and not for you. To me, it isn't fair. I have th upmost respect for you. I find it amazing all that you have gone thru, and the person that you are. Even when you have next to nothing, you still took in a friend who needed a place to stay. That spoke volumes to me. The world would be a better place if there were more people like you. I wish that I could do something to help you out in your present situation. :( But I guess, all I have is an ear... or an eye. lol! I think your kids are pretty cute too! Tucker reminds me of Wyatt in some ways... hopefully he's a little less precocious though!
