Am I the only one who likes these? I am not sure why but I just love these. Whats wrong with me?

So there you have it. A little secret info about me.

Rose has lost it!

Do you see anything missing?

How about now?

Eww! you say? Well yes but it wasnt your eye she almost took out when the thing went flying! This is what happens when shes home sick and is bored with dental floss. *SIGH* What to do next?

Can I just say...YAY! That tooth was driving me crazy. It would just scream to be released from its gummy jail but just couldnt get parole I guess. I am just glad its over. Except now I have to deal with the ones on either side that are lose. UGH!

On the "flip side" Allen's teeth are popping in all over the place. I believe the count is up to 8 now. Steak anyone?

Well I am off to make Easy Mac for the sickly toothless child. UGH MONDAYS!

Beauty by Fire

We all go through many ups and downs in our lives. We have to fight and cry to get through some of them. In times like these I usually can smile until I cant take it anymore and then have a complete meltdown. I am going through one of those downs in my journey down the path of life. I have had my meltdown and now I can focus. In this storm God has shown me something. God is an artist. He likes to craft many beautiful things. I see his artwork everywhere. Our children, nature and the love I have for my husband are all beautiful. But God has shown me that I am his artwork too! And that in this time of stress I should understand that he has placed me in the fire,

to make me malleable so that he can shape me to who he has planned me to be. So that once he is completed I can be beautiful! And I have decided that I shouldn't be depressed or upset about my fire that I am in. I should be praising him and thanking him that he loves me enough and sees me special enough to put me there. That he has a great plan for me and that I am that important to spend time on. I shouldn't waste my breath with why me lord ? Instead I should say "Thank you God for loving me so much and thinking that I am so special that you are working and making me beautiful" What a great way to see life's storms. It makes it alot easier to get through. I am on my way to being beautiful by God's Fire

Wordless Wednesday~Moment of Silence Please...

Well its Monday again!

UGH! Monday is here! What can I UGH! about? Well lets see... Im exhausted because I am not getting enough sleep at night between a healing husband, sick kids and other odd reasons. Our thermostat is broken and I cant get one til the weekend. Thank God for Georgia autumn weather. Sugar ants have come to drink of the magical water in my sink and my kids are bouncing off the walls like those little bouncy balls you get from the gumball machines. Dang Candy! Do you think the kids would believe that the Great Pumpkin came by and took all their candy away? But all in all I'm doing pretty well. I could sleep for a year if you'd let me. But for some odd reason I am actually enjoying working my behind off taking care of the family. I love being needed and adorned with hugs and kisses and "your my favorite mommy ever." compliments. Who wouldn't. I love being a mom and wife. That is what God called me to be and I enjoy it immensely!

Speaking of mommies, I would like to take a moment to offer up some huge congrats to a fellow blogger MckMomma She gave birth last week to a very healthy little boy, Stellan. What a cutie. You need to read her story about him. What a miracle she has and what a story and testimony she has to tell. I have been praying and following her for a few months now. And I was so glad to see the outcome that God has allowed in their lives. God is awesome and I stand in awe of him in times like these! GOD you rock! MckMomma, Hugs to you and Prince Charming! I love you and your family and you are in my heart and prayers daily! YAY! Stellan! Good job showing the world that science isn't exact and the only truth. Big Mac, McNugget and Small Fry, protect and love your brother everyday. Lots of toe tickles and forehead kisses too! HUGS TO YOU ALL!

Also a quick reminder, if you haven't voted tomorrow is the big day! I voted 2 weeks ago because I knew I would be busy taking care of Charles and the kids. I am nervous about the outcome. I am not getting into political discussion but I really hope my candidate wins. If not I am scared Charles will uproot us and move to Canada. UGH! So go vote tomorrow! If you need more inspiration to go, there are lots of places giving away free food to those who vote so go vote and then go eat! What a deal!

Quick note..

I am sorry I havent blogged much but my Hubby had surgery on Monday and I have been staying busy caring for him and my 2 younger children are sick as well. So I am not able to find the time to blog. So if it is quiet here lately please be patient and pray for my sanity. It is slowly diminishing. Soon You will see me acting like Rose in the "After Candy" shot! *SIGH*

Forks, Goldfish and Candy OH MY!!!

Forks! I want forks! The same invisible kid that steals my socks has now started stealing my forks! How can you lose forks? I cant find my forks! Have I mentioned I need forks?

When I told the girls to feed the dog this is not what I meant:

yes thats goldfish in his bowl. I guess I should specify next time.

And Candy of course! Last night was Halloween. And my neighborhood turns into the Halloween Woodstock! Candy lasts 5 minutes. And the kids racked up! We went trick or treating in our city's mainstreet. All the businesses get involved and hand out candy. So they got to trick or treat twice yesterday. My feet still hurt! My SIL and her crew along with my BFF Tracy came with her 2 great kids! So we became a very powerful part of the Halloween Woodstock in our neighborhood. Here are some pics:

And this one is AFTER the candy!
