Hi April 8, 2009

 I have been writing on my Butterfly blog and neglecting this one.

 I’m not sure about the direction I want to take my blogs right now.  I love to write and love to read blogs.

 I suffer from depression. It is not easy, even on meds. I am extrememly moody and I tend to get my feelings hurt easily. I wish I could be confident enough not to let that happen but right now I am not.  Maybe one day. Right now, it is best for me to take one day at a time.  Some days are good, some are not. Either way, I have to be healthy and happy for my kids.

 I know with depression, there is power in speaking about it.  I will try to continue to write and be honest. The only thing that seems to work for me.

Ellie and Cara about 5 years ago… February 1, 2009

They grow up so fast……

I am old January 8, 2009

 Sometimes things make you feel old. Tonight, I was in the grocery with Ellie.  We were at Publix and if you are a woman in Publix, they will insist on taking the groceries to the car for you.  They also give you an umbrella and raincoat if it is raining.  Anyway, when we got to the van, the little guy loaded our groceries.  Ellie looked at me and said “I think he thinks you are old

Collages January 2, 2009

The girlies made collages of their dreams for 2009. I let them pick whatever they wanted. It was fun!

Goodbye 2008, Hello 2009!! January 1, 2009

Wow, 2008 was an interesting year! We were on Supernanny, which only led to positive results!!! Cara started kindergarten and I am hoping she will quit embracing her inner baby so much in the next few months!! Cara also lost 2 teeth, Emma lost her two front teeth, even Ellie lost a few molars….
I had a long journey through writing and painting (I love this)….I also learned how it feels to be extremely depressed and have to go on medication.
Overall, it has been a year of learning for all of us. A year that has led me to want to show others understanding and compassion. I hope to be able to do that…..
Happy 2009!!!

A New favorite Thing December 30, 2008

I received a great gift for Christmas. It is called the flip camera. I love it. It is the size of a cell phone and you can record up close on it and then stick it in the computer and upload or attach it to the TV and watch. It is tiny and so easy to carry around. We are having so much fun with it!!! Woo Hoo!!!

Merry Christmas Friends!!! December 23, 2008

Designing Child December 7, 2008

When Emma was a baby, she would sit and stare into her closet at her clothing and smile……over and over and over. Now, she is designing !!

 Emma and Cara were watching Ice Princess and Emma decided to take 2 of my old shirts and make Ice Skating outfits for them. She did a really good job!

Blog Searches (these crack me up) December 4, 2008

Here is a little bit of the things people were searching for that led them to my blog….I can’t believe people are still looking for the corset lady from last years Oprah show, and then to put her with donuts, that is odd, but whatever leads you here is okay…..I am glad to have you….:)
