Thankful Thursday:{ Mom Talks } It takes a Village

Happy Thursday friends. I feel like I am running behind with everything today but I still wanted to get this post done. I think its important to embrace the things you are thankful for not only each week but each day really. For the longest time I kept a gratitude journal and it really did make a huge difference in my life. Today I am totally thankful for:

The Village that Helps Raise my Kids 

Being a parent has to be the hardest job on earth. I struggle everyday to make the best decisions I can for my kids and I know I could not get through it all with the huge support system that we have around us.

God

I am putting God at the top because I can't even begin to tell you the prayers that I have sent up over my kids. I have prayed for them since the moment I found out they were coming. I have asked God to protect them while showing me the way to be a better parent each day. And I really feel that God is very present in our village of support. I think both of my kids are spiritual and I want them to always love God. They both read the bible and Jackson is learning more and more everyday about God and the scriptures. God is all around us.

family

Our family is totally at the top of the support system and a big part of raising our kids. More specifically My mom is always there to help in any way she can. I don't always agree with her but I really value her love and support. She has a very important role in the the kids lives. Scott's sister Trina is a huge source of support to us too. She has helped in so many ways but most importantly, she has always been there to listen when Scott or I need to talk about the kids. My Sister Laci is growing up right before my eyes and she is no longer a baby. She is a woman with very unique points of view that I totally value. Many times she helps me see things from a new point of view. Don.. my moms partner is always loving and kind with his advice and he is a logical thinker that helps with us emotional women. Also Scotts Step Mother is starting to listen more about the kids and really share her experiences in hopes that it might help. Both Jackson's fathers - His dad and his stepfather are both support systems. I believe both want Jackson happy and will help in anyway the kids need.

friends

Our loving loyal friends have totally helped me. My best friend Shanna has been a life saver over the years in regard to the kids. She hears all my parenting mistakes and issues and never judges. She always is there to give me the most honest straight forward advice that I always need to hear. All of our friends - blog & youtube are wonderful support to our family because they are going through it with us with their own kids. You guys are always so supportive, informative, and honest with me. We all learn from each other.

Teachers

I cannot even express how thankful I am for both of Jackson's teachers this year. Bless them because I know that teaching my son is a bit of a challenge. They are underpaid, overworked, and both of his teachers have been so helpful. I mean... I listen to everything they tell me. They are smart women who work hard with Jackson everyday. I know they take more time out for them than they others. Jackson needs more attention that most kids and I know its not easy. We are in constant contact and for 4 days this week they have let me know that he has been doing super good.. I couldn't be more proud. Brittany makes A's and does so well in school and I am thankful to her teachers too for all they do.

Doctors 

I am also very thankful to the Dr's who have helped our kids from the very beginning. Brittany was a pretty healthy baby but Jackson was born early.. he was so little. Jackson went to the Dr. today and he spent an hour with us talking through Jackson's health. An hour you guys. That says something when we live in such a busy world. I was happy with the care he recieved today and more importantly Jackson liked his new Dr. I don't know how I would do it without the Dr.'s.

I am sure I am leaving people out .. but I am thankful for everyone who is a part of our lives helping raise our kids. I know it takes a village to raise a child and I truly love you guys and thankful for all your love and support.

Mom Talks: Hurt Feelings & Forgiveness.

Its been a while since I have done one of these post, and I thought one of the lessons I am currently learning would be beneficial to share! Jackson will be 11 years old in 2 days. Most of the time, he is a loving and caring little boy who lights up our home with his sweet smile and fun attitude. However, he is trying to grow up a little and I am quickly becoming # 1 enemy. The bad parent, if you will. 

Mom Rants....

Hello Friends! I know many of you have children and I am betting that you should be able to find something in this post that you can relate to! It's not just a rant because the kids have a lot of great qualities that should be said too.. but they are handfuls around here! 

* Brittany seems to think she doesn't have to listen to anything she doesn't want to do. She's not an adult.. and has the same rules as the boys. I'm seriously thinking about putting a little video together of her crazy behavior just so she can see. And also for her dad to see!

* All the kids fight over my cats. Yep.. Brittany thinks they are all hers and the boys tote them around just as much. I feel sorry for the kitties in the Jaggers House. 

* The kids are all on red cup duty because they use 30 a day so they can wash them. They should only use 1 per day but nope.. not our kids. Every night there is a different kid washing the red cups...and they still use a ton.

The Influence of the Step Parent.....a mommy post!

I never thought I would be someone who got married...then divorced. And God knows everyone was betting that I would never marry again. Well God had a different plan and but a beautiful man in my path that I would again marry. When I met Scott, Brittany was 3 and Jackson was 2 years old. I guess divorcing fast paid off because the kids have never seen me with anyone but Scott. So he has had plenty of time getting to know them from an early age. I won't say every moment  has been easy because we really are all learning from each other on a daily basis. But my husband has been such a big influence in Jacksons life. The other day Jackson asked me...

When in doubt, Have a Food Fight........a mommy post

Last week I was home cleaning up the house when a phone call comes across my phone from my sons school. You know that moment.. when your stomach drops? It happened before I ever said hello. 

" Mrs Jaggers, this is the principle of Springmore. " 

" Yes " 

" I have Jackson here on speaker phone and he wants to explain what happened at lunch today. "

" Jackson, What Happened?  "

" My table was involved with a food fight. " 

" What exactly did you do? " 

" Austin dared me to throw some food on Kyle  and then it started. "

" What were you thinking Jackson? "

" That's not all mom. "

The Ice Machine Drama....a mommy post.

I have a bunch of  mommy posts coming up but tonight I thought I would talk to you about the breakdown my 10 year old son had over our ice maker. So for a few days last week.. the icemaker on the frig was not working right. ( We later figured out a bag of frozen peas was tangled up in it ) Well.. Jackson came bouncing down the stairs and into the kitchen he went. He got a glass...and went to get ice out of the frig and it didn't work! I was sitting in the living room and could hear everything. He yells to me... 

Jackson : " Mom, the icemaker is not working "

Me :  " I know.. just get some out with your hands. "

Jackson : " I am not touching the ice with my hands. "

Me : " Jackson.. its fine.. just get some ice yourself. "

Jackson : " Who else is going to stick their hands in the ice? Mom.. this is going to be gross."

Me: " Jackson.. its fine. "

Jackson.. " Well I am not having any ice.. guess my root beer is going to be hot. "

Me: " Fine "

Bullies Create Bullies... a Mommy Post

[ I am adding this post under Theme Thursday with Theme Thursday with Something Clever 2.0 because its about our parenting styles and I feel this post shows exactly what my style is! ]

Oh boy you guys.. do I ever have a mommy post for you today. Its not an easy one either. Brittany.. my 11 year old is suspended today. Both my kids have got in trouble at school this year. Its insane. I need you to give you a quick back story about some of the the things leading up to this. And these are minor children I am talking about so I am not using real names besides my own children. 

March Starting off with a BANG..

What a day. I am going to take you through the chain of events that I went through since I first open my eyes.

Last night at 3am the nursing home where Scotts dad is calls the family in because he is not doing well at all. Scott wakes up to a text message about it.. and that's how the day starts. My husband woke me upset.. and worried about his dad. Also thinking we are going to have to leave any minute. So far he is still here with us. ( 201am Saturday )

My little Holiday Terror... a Mommy Post

You know, I have no idea what it is with my kid and the holidays. He has found away to make them all very gloomy and Valentines Day was NO EXCEPTION. I told you guys Jackson had some problems on Valentines Day.. and let me tell you.. it wasn't such a fun day around the Jaggers house. 

I woke up.. took Jackson to school. He was in a happy go lucky mood.. smiling and giggling when he got out of the car. My day continued as did his. I was working around the house around 130 when I recived a call from the Principle of the School. 

→ Its never good when I get a phone call from the Principle herself ← 

Mommy Talk - Wfi Entitlement -

I got so mad last night because Jackson was on xbox upstairs most of the day.. and my internet worked fine. Brandon came home and got on his xbox.. Jackson and I were thrown off xbox and I started having internet problems...Well I called the internet people..Brandon has his hooked up directly to the router causing some issues..Box xboxes running at the same time is causing some issues.. So at dinner last night, I reminded both boys.. our stuff is not your stuff. And the ones paying for the internet should be able to use it. I am moving the router upstairs to my room so I can at least get it. I think its kinda felt and unsaid that Jackson, Brittany, Brandon and Zane think they are just " entitled " to internet because Scott and I pay for it. 

The Truth..

Raising kids is no easy job. Questions come up daily that I am just not sure how to answer. Just the other day Jackson and I had one of the most important conversations that we ever had. 

Jackson - Mom, I know that Santa isn't real -. 

Me - Oh yea.. how do you know that?

Back in 4th Grade Math HELL

Math has never been a strong point for me. Nope..but I sure didn't expect Jackson's math homework to SUCK so much. Its like I am back in 4th grade trying to figure it out yet again. Tonight's math home was a page of some really serious math questions. 

This is basically how the questions went... these are the exact questions but you'll get the idea.. 

1. Ed buys Bill lunch for 14.80. bill insists on paying the tip. ed tells him to leave a 15 percent tip. if bill gives ed a 10.00 bill, how much change should bill receive?

2. at the home cooking resaurant,a family leaves a 15 percent tip for the waiter in the amount of 10.26. what was the cost of the family's food total?

3. brad buys a 10.00 lunch. he means to leave 1.00 as a tip but mistakenly drops a 10.00 bill on the table. what percent of the food bill did brad leave as a tip?

Ok.. its shit this that makes me want to   SCREAM!!

I am so thankful that it sure doesn't make my husband scream.. because without Scott Jackson would screwed in the math department. 

Tonight it took about an hr and a half o do 10 questions. Its freaking crazy how time consuming this stuff really is. I went to college for 7 years and now having to go back to 4th grade math is ridiculous! I didn't understand it too well then and I don't understand it too much now! I guess thats the reason my checkbook is always a mess! 

And they are sure moving the kids along with the math... I don't think I was doing this in 4th grade.. I think it was more like 6th or 7th. I really am shocked at the hours of homework my 9 year old son has. He also worked 15 minutes on his spelling words and 35 minutes on studying for a science test about vertebrate and non vertebrate animals. And according to his teacher he is also suppose to read for 30 minutes per night. Yea.. that so didn't happen tonight. We were lucky to get all the other stuff done!!

Tomorrow is all about making sure he knows those spelling words for his test Friday morning! God bless his teacher for being able to teach this. Its one thing to have to try to figure it out yourself.. but then have to explain it to a little boy.. is insanely hard.. Its a whole other animal. I am great in History, English, and I'm pretty good at science but I think I am going to leave the math homework up to my husband! 

Thank you baby for your tutoring skills. Once again, you prove to be the man of my dreams.

Mom Talks.. Talk.. Talk.. Talk..

I don't consider myself an expert parent by any means but I have been doing this for over 10 years now and I think I keep getting better along with wiser when it comes to kids. Not just my kids but kids in general. Well, my latest delima is my sweet Jackson not ever being quiet. I know that it sounds horrible for me not to want to hear the sweet voice of my youngest son but my ears are wore out. It doesn't seem like a day goes by without me telling Jackson that my ears are hurting and I would like a little silence around the house.

As I sit back and think about it.. I must be a fool because I know there are so many parents out there who will never hear their child say a word. Maybe I am wrong for wanting to button Jackson's mouth shut daily but its the facts.. I am talked out!

I love him so much but I am in desperate need of a - ear break -. I guess I should take it as a compliment that he has a million questions and wants me to answer them for him. I should also be thankful that we have such a good dialog that we can talk about anything and everything. I do want that to last forever. But.. I could use a little break! Is that bad??

I am hoping I am not seriously damaging my son by telling him that " mommy's ears needs a break ". I think he understands but I struggle with this issue because I listen non stop to him almost the entire day and I think the break does us both good but I think he just shuts up and starts piling up his next list of questions/comments to come back later and ask!

So I think I better stop the complaining and be grateful for the talking son I do have. Do you struggle with this in your house?? How do you deal with it!? I think it takes a total village to raise 1 child and I could use some  help with this one. I have talked to a few friends about this and what I get from them is..

Whatever works

I think we all love our children with every fiber in our bodies. I know I do.. and the sound of their little giggles are the sweetest but I am so talked out right now. I would love to hear how any of you guys deal with a talkative child.. any and all suggestions would be great! 

Can't wait to have more of a conversation about this topic!

Have a great weekend!

Mom Talks. TODAY SUCKS

Oh my.. where to even start with today.. It has been a complicated mess of a day for me since the minute I opened my eyes. I have been very stressed out today and I am not sure its going to end until I am back in bed later tonight. 

Here's what has happened so far today.. 

* Lost some important paperwork.. Got super upset with husby about it..* 

* Then in today's mail it showed up. - FEEL LIKE A COMPLETE JERK * 

* Went to get cat food and at checkout I realized my debit card was in the swim bag, not my purse.. had to come back to get it.. then back to buy the cat food *

* When I pulled back in the garage after getting the cat food, I got out of the car.. my phone was on my lap and it fell and now the screen is cracked. SHIT!! * 

* I come in and reach to put the put the phone on the bar, it totally falls in the dog water.... DOUBLE SHIT!! * 

* I go to make lunch.. reach for the kool - aid and the lid is 1/2 on - ( thanks kids ) and it spills all over the floor. * 

* I get lunch made, and then go to get myself lunch.. I move something and the gallon zip lock that has a bunch of  cut up watermelon in it was open.. needless to say it spilled all over the frig. ( thanks Brittany ) * 

* Brittany is due to fly out tomorrow and NOTHING is packed.. * 

* The house is not a total wreck, but there are a ton of things that are waiting on me to do. * 

* I have to be at the dealership at 615 tonight. Oh my.. *

* Realized today that the dates for the cookout might be changing.. f-r-u-s-t-r-a-t-i-n-g- * 

* I have been running around a total mess today.. totally need a shower and some make up before I leave the house again tomorrow. * 

* Realized that my zucunni plants have some kind of fungus on them... that I need to find treatment for asap. *

* I have NOTHING planned for dinner tonight. Yea.. shopping on the way home for something very fast. * 

* Still haven't finished shaving the dog. * 

* Lost a beach towel some where along the way.. and totally pissed off about it. ( Scott thinks it blew off the boat ) *

* And to top everything else off.. I broke a nail today. * 

I have no idea what the night holds but from the look of it.. it isn't going to be good. =( I am going to do my best at trying to shake it off and go into a better evening. I am going to go in a long shower.. clean up .. and then go to the dealership and try to take my mind off this crazy day. You know what's funny.. I tend to only check my horoscope on bad days and today its right on the money. I think I should have just stayed in bed! 

Anyway, my day SUCKS.. how's yours?

Mom Talks.. Not their day..

Hello!! Its a wet day around here. Right now we are having a crazy thunderstorm and its anyones guess how long the electric will stay on. So if I stop blogging.. you know whats up.. it seems fitting because there is no kind of sunshine around the Jaggers House today. 

Its been another crazy day around here....The boys have been at it all day. I woke up really early to them fighting.. I dozed back off..woke up at 1030 to more fighting.. then they fought before lunch.. during lunch.. and then for a few minutes after lunch. I am fed up with them both right now. So both are done for the night. Right now till Scott gets home they are in separate rooms with no tvs . I am pretty sure both are sleeping but even after they wake up.. they are still grounded till tomorrow. I don't want to see or hear them any more tonight at this point. I will let them have their tvs but they are both in trouble.  Brittany has been good today.. I think she knows how upset I am and knows it could be  her too. I don't know how to make both boys get a long better. Both are being brats..and they missed out playing the rain and even the drive in tonight. Grrrrrrrr... I think if they want to make their days miserable.. then ok.. but when it really effects me.. thats not ok. I think they need to know that they are family.. like it or not and everyone should treat each other with love. But they are friends one minute and the next minute yelling at each other. Probably normal for two 9 year old little boys right?? I am just tired of hearing it. So with that said.. today they both are realizing how tired I really am of their constant bickering. =(  I talked to Zanes mom and she thinks separating them for the day is right too.  Anyone who has two 9 year old little boy experience.. feel free to clue me on how to make them get a long!! I will take all the emails I can get on the subject! mrskishajaggers@gmail.com. It totally takes a village to raise a child! I called husby for support and he talked to them once today and then they started right back up. But I can promise you they both are going to be quiet for the rest of the night! Shoot.. I thinking tonight might be perfect for a big bottle of wine! And maybe husby will come home and fix it all! ♥

I have some shopping to go out and do later tonight so maybe I will get a brake then. So I guess that bottle of wine will have to wait for a few hours. I am so thankful that Scott will be coming home around 6 - 630 tonight. God knows, I need him home. 

The good thing about today is I have accomplished getting laundry put up. That was a huge job within itself.. but its done and I only 2 more loads to go before I am caught up. I need to wash the bedding tomorrow.. so now I have the space to do it. Our laundry room is small for such a large family. It has cabinets, a big shelf and the washer and dryer.. but still its too small. I can only think of one house we had that had the best laundry room.. and that was the last house we lived in while we were in Ohio. It was huge.. and handy! 

Anyway, both boys just came down.. I had a stern talk with both... and allowed them to turn on their tvs and to invited them to spend the rest of the night alone in their rooms.. and that they both should feel lucky that have tvs.. because I think reading a book would be better! I am thinking some kind of insentive chart would maybe help. And also scheduling time on the xbox, ipad, playstation, wii, ds, and laptops might also help. Isn't crazy how the kids have so much more than we had when we were kids???  I had a pretty good child hood toy wise.. and I didn't have 1/2 the shit that my kids do. They fight over all of them too. And talk so badly to each other while playing the games. Its nuts.. I am hoping that after they realize that today is not the kind of day they want to have again. And when they can get along they can have the game systems back. That's the best plan I can come up with. 

At least its quiet and there is no fighting going on right now. 

* Deep Breath *

- Hoping to move into a better evening. -

Mom Talks..

Wow.. is my word for the day.. It really is. The kids have been hand fulls the past couple of days. Its been 

" He's using my stuff "

" Mom, she took phone " 

" He said a bad word Mom "

" Its a game mom, he's going to loose "

" He's crying Mom "

" Mom, he hid my stuff "

" He hit me " 

" She yelled at me "

" Mom, its my turn on the ipad "

" Mom, have you seen my flip flops? " 

" Mom, they won't share the cats "

" Mom, I spilled it "

" Mom, you said..."

" Thats not fair - with a STOMP "

" He's a liar "

" She's in my room Mom! "

" Pleeeeeease "

and the list goes on and on and on and on. I think the kids compete with each other wayyy to much.. At times 2 will team up on 1 and the last couple of days have been pretty exhausting. We love the little kids but all 3 kids have been brats the past few days! 

We are heading out to the pool later tonight.. I wasn't going to take the little bickering children but I am hoping they will forget how jealious they are of each other for a couple of hours! 

I figured I would do a series of Mom Talks about the challenges of parenthood.. there will be no specific day these post will come.. instead they will come when this mom needs to rant! I love them very much but some of these summer days are long.. and at the end of the night.. a glass of wine is much needed! 

And I am betting that tonight won't be any different!

Summer Snack Foods Your Kids Will Love

Summertime is almost here, and if your kids are like mine during the summer they are always hungry. It seems that with the warm weather, playing outside, and swimming activities, my kids are always asking for snacks.

When it comes to snacks, I like to keep healthy, or at least some semi-healthy snacks, on hand for the kids to grab when they need them.

Here are a few ideas for homemade snacks that are perfect for the summertime!!

TO SEE THIS FULL POST, CLICK THE - READ MORE - LINK ON THE LEFT! 

Mom Break..

Well today has been pretty darn good! The kids have not been fighting and things are already starting to slide into place. Its never easy to go from no kids to a houseful. The transition is shocking to say the least! But today we were all more in sync with each other. 

I have been so busy around here. I called husby a little while ago and told him I don't want to be busy anymore! He said - You have at least 3 more months of busy - until Jackson starts school and the other 2 go back. How right he is! I think I am officially caught up on laundry. I don't know where its all coming from but it has been going all day. I have been using that snazzy new dryer all day because of the rain and its drying the clothes really fast. I have to admit, I like it a lot! Its slowed down for the time being but we are suppose to have rain off and on all night long. 

I am totally excited to tell you guys that I found my grandmother Watteau's homemade fruit roll up recipe and I will be making it on Thursday with the kids. I will be sure to do a post with step by step instructions.. they are amazing! I was so freaking happy when I was digging in the garage today through some of her stuff and found it. I have been looking for it for years. I didn't realize how easy it really was to make until I reread it! Super happy!!! =) 

I am on break right now.. I have done a ton around here today and now waiting on husby to get home. I also have to get up and start dinner in a few minutes. I am making country fried steak.. and not sure how well Jackson is going to do with it. He is such a picky eater.. but he has to trust I cook better than his dad! Frozen corndogs are not an option tonight. Should be interesting. 

I just plan on spending tonight relaxing.. and watching.. 

20/20 with Katie  Couric's Jubilee Queen Special Report. I love the royals.. and I can't wait to watch it tonight.. I might just end up going to bed a little earlier tonight! Thats when I got a lot of today's post done.. so going to try to keep that up. Tonight I am working on a review that I hope to have up either tonight or tomorrow.. so come back! 

Have a great evening! Time for me to get into the kitchen!

Hello New School Year..

Wow..School starts for the kids tomorrow. I hate that summer is over..They are surly dreaming right now resting up for their busy days.. I hate that I am not there on the first day of school. Its sad but I know that I am every where with them all the time. They carry my heart in their heart.

Sooooo..

I hope you eat a great breakfast.. gather up all your new school supplies and have a great day. Call me the minute you get home!!

Love,

Mommy

=( Not Happy =(

Tired..but still awake.. Its been a busy day of..

Carpet Cleaning for Scott and house cleaning for me. I ended up helping a lot with the furniture and vacuuming the rooms too. I got the laundry room and dining room cleaned. I know it doesn't sound like a lot but I totally took everything down and cleaned everything.. The walls. The 2 doors back there, the floor, the appliances, everything..The laundry room already looks like a mess again because I tossed some clothes in front of the washer to wash tomorrow. Still tons to do before Tuesday evening. Just thankful I can break it up over a couple of days.

While Scott was cleaning the carpets Giovanni started supervising..

And eventually made it over to the open window.

I love this picture! Posted it on facebook today!!

Scott was really tired from what he did today. He actually got a little grumpy and short with the kids.. I did too at points. Its hard to get an 8 and 9 year old to understand that they either need to help and also stay out of the way at the same time.

After the floors were done, he went out to get the screen fixed. They don't fix them at Lowes.. You have to buy the repair kit and fix it yourself..

And after a few minutes it was done and was going up!

I made dinner.. Chili Mac.. A fast yummy meal that was really good.. Scott and I ended up taking a break and watching a movie. Review coming tomorrow.. and I have since picked up a little bit and will do the rest tomorrow.

Brittany was really mad at me for turning off her tv at 10 am tonight. She got really mad, told me that I hate her, and took forever to fall asleep. I have the kids here a total of 4.5 days and I so do not want to be upset with them or have them upset with me this last week. I am about to just say.. screw it and let them stay up with the tv. It will hurt them in going back to school but I am thinking after a day or two of getting up early..that they will get back on schedule. This week is about talks and love and nothing else. I wont see them for a few months and its back to skpye, email and phones. Back to emails with their teachers. Brittany told me the other night that its like boarding school. Guess it is. I am wore out from non stop days with the kids but I wish they were here in school more than the summers. I hope my ex husband and I can switch that around one day. Its going to hurt for sure to kiss them goodbye at the end of summer on Friday afternoon. Its kicking in right now and I am already tearing up. This is so not easy and I have to compose myself the best I can so the kids don't get too upset either. Its pretty hard on Brittany.. Jackson too..But he gets excited about seeing his daddy. We have had long talks about how things are going to change at his dads. Our homes are very different and my ex husband is not as loving with him as I am and he gets yelled at a lot more..He knows more than anything how much I love him and we are just going to have to talk more while he is at home. Brittany is nervous about the school year and doesn't seem to want to go home as much. Oh my God you guys.. this is hard.

Deep Breaths..

Its crazy because those kids have my heart a way that no other has. They drive me nuts but its worth it. They are little people with all kinds of thoughts and emotions. I have no doubt that I am learning right along with them. Parenting is harder than anything. I feel mean half the time and the other half I feel frazzled. But none of that matters. They just are the best things I ever done and I'm proud of them. This summer was a bit harder for some reason. But every moment counts and I just hope they go home with some great memories of summer with Mommy and Scott. ♥

I don't know how I am going to do all that cleaning and spend time with them this week. Thursday is all about packing and they will be sleeping at their dads on Friday. But I have to make this last week around them. Blogging will be minimal. I will take lots of pictures.. and having those last important talks. I will blog at when I get up and at night after they are in bed but I have to make the most of this time. I have to. So please have fun in the archives or from the other bloggers. I will blog when I can but for the next 5 days is it is not a priority for me. To be very honest.. My heart is breaking right now. I don't know why its all hitting me right now but it is. I can barley breath..I am sure tonight's prayer is going to be long.

On to a lighter note..

The blue on the tips of my nails was already chipping. I figure it was from all the cleaning..

So tonight I did go with something kinda different..

China Glaze in # 649  HYBIRD

This is more me.. A neutral color that I like a lot..

and I did it without making too big of a mess! 

I am thinking this is the kind of color that I can wear!

Well.. its late.. I'm sad.. and I am going to get the coffee made, Jackson's breakfast ready and go cuddle in bed with Jackson tonight. Scott has a long day at work tomorrow and I am going to wake him up if I go in there right now at 3 am.. So snuggling up with Jackson. Brittany kicks too bad to snuggle with her.

Goodnight friends.
