Today I am going to try something that I have never done! I am going to copy Beth and Charlene (well....I have done that before) and do the Weekly Writing Assignment from Mama Kat. Here goes nothing!
4.) List ten things you would say to ten different people in your life...if you had the hutzpah.
1. TM- I love you more than you will ever know! I know I give you a hard time but it is only beacuse I want my girls to have the Father that I couldn't. I want my girls to have all the memories that were cut short for me! I know you can do it.....
2. I am not really sure about you, there are so many things about you that I admire but you are so hot and cold with me. I hope that I have never done anything to offend you! Sometimes you really hurt my feelings Also, your Dad is the BEST! I hope you know that, don't take it for granted! :)
3. I do not agree with what you are doing. I do not understand why you would put yourself through all of this! Is it really worth it??
4. I hope you know how much I love you! You are an amazing Mother and I hope that I am 1/2 as good with my girls! I love your attitude. I honestly wonder though if you are truely happy in your situation? I hope that you would tell me if you were not!
5. I am not very happy with you, I could NEVER tell you this though. We have grown farther and farther apart over the last 6 years. I do not like what you are doing and I think one day you will wake up and realize that you should not bite the hand that feeds you!! We know what you are up to and what you are doing! Just know, I'll be watching you!
6. You are an amazing friend! I know that I can trust you with everything! I will always be here for you no matter where YOU are. I hope you know that. I want the very best for you and your family! You deserve it!
7. I think of you as a Father! You are everything that I know my Dad would be! I am glad that you are in my life, even though I do not get to see you enough! I Love You and I am so glad that you were there with me on my wedding day!!
8. I hate watching you go through this! It is just as hard on everyone around you to see it! I know I cannot say much because I have never been in this situation but I just want to fix it for you! It seems like such a simple solution!
9. I think the three of you are sorry excuses for leaders in the community! You should be ashamed of yourselves! Did you know that gossip usually stems from some form of envy, thats right, ENVY. Read it and weep! You could only dream to be like him, all of you! Lazy Jerks!
10. You make me so mad I could scream! Why are you this way! I have tried and tried to get over it but it is really hard, I honestly do not know if I will ever be able to let it go. I wish it was not this way, I want to make it better but you do not make it easy!
Ok, that was hard! It did feel good to get it all out in the open though. I will have to try these writing assignments more often! Hopefully I will get better and better as it goes along!

Writing Assignment
First Day in the 1st Grade!!
Here we are again, Lord.
Their backpacks are loaded and their faces are scrubbed and their lunch accounts are full. And I know you'll walk with them, Lord. You always do.
But a mom still has to ask. Will You walk with them?
Will You whisper to them what they need to hear, when I'm not there to whisper it?
Will You please, oh please, cover their school with the protection only You can give, and will You keep harm far away?
Will You make their minds strong and ready to learn?
Will You help them understand that hard work honors the One who created them?
Will You guide their teachers, giving them patience and wisdom and creativity and more patience?
Will You bless them for their efforts?
Will You love all those children there, the ones whose lunch accounts aren't full, the ones who feel alone?
Will You teach my children to be kind and unselfish and to love those who are different from them?
Will You point them back toward home just as soon as you can?
Lord, I give them to You today and everyday, trusting them to Your care. Amen.

A New Look
Well, Tuesday when I went to work everything was normal. When I came home, this is how my Baby looked! I cannot believe how fast she is growing. It really makes me sad!! When I came in the door she said, "Mommy, did you even know who I was?"
After a while I noticed Emma trying to wiggle her teeth! Oh my.....I am not ready for all of that!

Dora Live!
Although you would never know it Emma had a great time at Dora Live!!! You would think the people would at least try to get a good picture but I guess that is to be expected when you do not have to pay!
