Happy Birthday!

to Quinton
he is 4 today

as soon as the month of July arrived
he thought it was time for his birthday
almost everyday he asked, "is today my birthday?"
instead he had to wait the entire month for his special day

Quinton is all boy
he is full of energy
and spunk
and spice
he is a sweet boy
who leaves my heart proud
and makes me smile

Last night

I worked the overnight shift
we are doing inventory
and I was one of the lucky ones picked to help out


it was a long night
I am hoping to get some sleep today
feeling a bit tired
I am really glad this is not my normal shift!

I am EXCITED...

my 3 BIG kids are coming home today...
they have been at papa's and grama's for over 2 weeks
I was happy for them to get the opportunity to spend time with relatives
but I sure did miss them
they hardly talked to me on the phone at all
it seemed like if they talked to me
it made them miss me
it also meant that they were having a good time
which I greatly appreciate

in the last 2 weeks,
I was a little surprised how many LESS
groceries we went through
adding 3 kids to the equation makes a big difference

...but, I am willing to buy the extra groceries to have them home again

the power within self

governs my daily routine

i can use it to fuel my day
or
i can allow it to destroy my abilities

time

it seems like just yesterday,
...that I brought my first born home from the hospital
...that I learned we would have a second child
...that we moved and purchase our very first home of our own
...that I suffered in agony dealing with seizures
...that I was still a little girl needing her parents love and attention
...that I made the hardest decision of my life
...that I started working full time
...that I decided to start back to school
...that I learned to start loving myself

and yet it feels like it has been forever since,
...I brought my first born home from the hospital
...I learned we would have a second child
...we moved and purchase our very first home of our own
...I suffered in agony dealing with seizures
...I was still a little girl needing her parents love and attention
...I made the hardest decision of my life
...I started working full time
...I decided to start back to school
...I learned to start loving myself

inside my head

a jumbled mess
confusing thoughts circling about

unanswered questions
forcing me to doubt

my past...the future 
everything in between

the light at the end of the tunnel
can hardly be seen...

Unexpected

quality time
spent with loved ones
savored moments
missed opportunities
long overdue
