Back to "Normal"

Just wanted to post and let everyone know, I will be returning back to work tomorrow! YAY! I've learned I am NOT a stay at home mom, I don't know how you women do it!
I will be returning to my weight loss efforts as well, hence I can not get motivated sitting in the house all day. I do MUCH better when I work, so HOPEFULLY I will get the other 50 pounds off.
Also, we still in the TTC mode, no news yet on any positives, but maybe it'll be soon and I can post a very HAPPY post!
Thanks to all of you for your good words and prayers.
Have a GREAT week!

MY HEART


A PICTURE



I put this picture, because these 3 are my heart and the reason why I smile everyday! This picture is from one afternoon when Jamie played with the kids, and they were waiting on me from coming home for who knows where, and they wanted to get in the bed with him.. and fell asleep! This picture is PRICESless to me! I love those people so much!!

A POEM


Joyce Kilmer. 1886–1918

119. Trees

I THINK that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day, 5
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain. 10

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree

I have always loved this poem, since I had to recite it from memory in I think it was the 5th grade!




A SONG

Amazed lyrics
Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams

I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me
Baby you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
Oh it feels like the first time every time
I wanna spend the whole night in your eyes

I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Oh, every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you


I never believe in love until I met my husband and heard this song.. It is still today one of my favorites.. and then

He didn't have to wake up
He'd been up all night
Layin’ there in bed listenin’
To his new born baby cry
He makes a pot of coffee
He splashes water on his face
His wife gives him a kiss and says
It gonna be OK

It won’t be like this for long
One day soon we'll look back laughin’
At the week we brought her home
This phase is gonna fly by
So baby just hold on
‘Cause it won't be like this for long

Four years later ‘bout 4:30
She's crawling in their bed
And when he drops her off at preschool
She's clinging to his leg
The teacher peels her off of him
He says what can I do
She says now don't you worry
This’ll only last a week or two

It won’t be like this for long
One day soon you'll drop her off
And she won’t even know you're gone
This phase is gonna fly by
If you can just hold on
It won’t be like this for long

Some day soon she'll be a teenager
And at times he'll think she hates him
Then he'll walk her down the aisle
And he'll raise her veil
But right now she's up and cryin’
And the truth is that he don't mind
As he kisses her good night
And she says her prayers

He lays down there beside her
‘Til her eyes are finally closed
And just watchin’ her it breaks his heart
Cause he already knows

It won’t be like this for long
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
All grown up and gone
Yeah, this phase is gonna fly by
So, he's tryin’ to hold on

‘Cause it won’t be like this for long

It won’t be like this for long

This one is the I think about when thinking about my children.. I
absolutely love that song

A QUOTE

I'm not sure if it's a quote and it's often misinterpreted.. But I always say.. God will not give you anything you can't handle... I find this very true.. He gives you your trials and tribulations so YOU will know how to get through the TOUGHER times that you will pass on your journey..
