Another Day
Does it seem that some people are just so needy that they can't do anything without assistance? I am literally exhausted-body, mind, soul, and spirit. For once, why can't I have someone take care of me. I know I am the mom and I take joy in caring for my babies, but lately it is such a battle. Will I ever get rest? I feel so trapped in my ever-shrinking world. Has life ever made you feel claustrophobic? I already feel that myself-my soul and spirit-have died. I am no one but an outer shell, manuevering around the world and doing as I am supposed to. I have to literally make myself get out of the bed and get ready for my 2 weeks remaining job. Then I make myself get the babies ready. Sometimes I do feel a little joy doing this but my joy is gone. Then I fight to stay awake on the trip to work, just this morning I dozed off 4 times. But I made it safely in one piece. Now to survive today......

Happy Birthday!
How to you wish someone a happy birthday that has already passed, especially knowing that their days are continously filled with happiness and joy? I miss you, Mawmaw, and I wonder how I've made it 4 years without you.
I love you!
~Michelle
I love you!

Our Book
Our book will continue to be written
But a chapter has come to an end.
We met each other for a reason
And each of us has become a friend.
Some of them we’ve known for days
While others we’ve known for years.
We have shared joy and laughter
And have helped while we shed our tears.
Our hearts have been hurt and broken
By the unexpected ending we were dealt.
But our friendships do not have to end here
Our joy and laughter can continue to be felt.
True friends are and will be forever
And all of our past moments have mattered.
It doesn’t matter what we do or where we go
Everyone will be remembered.

Easter Egg Dyeing
UPDATE: I fixed the pictures!
So today didn't go so well when it came to dyeing easter eggs for my two precious boys. I got off to an early start thinking that this was going to be a breeze.
I am needing new pots and pans desparetly so my largest pot would only hold 12 eggs. So I loaded it up and said okay, this
won't take too long. Out of my first dozen, 4 cracked. So okay on to my next dozen-in the pot they go. Would you believe that out 24 eggs, I now had 17 good and 7 cracked!
Now I know how to cook and I've made many meals for my family and none were horrible but I went straight to GOOGLE and typed "how to boil an egg"--yes, I did. I read a few websites and attempted with 8 more eggs. I only needed 7 to get my dozen per son. So I did exactly like the websites said-I had a whole 3 un-cracked out of the 8.
I gave up for a whole and went to my cousin's baby shower. In the meantime, I had posted my stressful situation on facebook and with MUCH GRATITUDE to Beckie, she replied with directions. Once back home and after getting the boys supper, I attempted again with 6 eggs and followed Beckie's instructions to a tee and voila--NO CRACKED EGGS!
I had big plans of the three of us (Mommy and 2 boys) enjoying egg dyeing.
But my two precious, awesome angels didn't get there naps today. So here is what one thought of this adventure:
And the other just would not cooperate!
So after 3 1/2 hours two dozen eggs are dyed.

Friday Morning, April 3rd, 2009
It was a wonderful morning this morning with the boys, although it would have been greatly appreciated it Daddy would have helped. Matthew woke up all by himself at 6:00am and ready to go to "Lori's." However, it sounds like "Rories."
Austin was ready to go to and wanting up out of the crib. I dressed him in his black "lock up your daughters" t-shirt, camo pants, and his combat boots. Tough looking but it was canceled out by his bouncy curls and his dimples that are to die for! :)
I hope that they enjoy their day running and playing. I miss them everyday while they are there and I'm at work.
We are having a yard sale tomorrow in RH on Albright Rd. Need any baby clothes? I'm sorry Baby BOY clothes, Please come!

Austin
My little baby isn't so little any more. He is growing up so fast! He is learning to walk and he does say a few words. Momma, Daddy, Hey, and Bye. He is as strong as an ox. You should see him pushing this brother around on a bench! Crazy! He also is trying to eat out of a spoon too. I wish I could just squish him back up into a little baby and make him stay that way.
