Monday, Monday, Monday!

Well it's a typical Monday for me. No motivation, but yet I must press on and clean this house on my day off. Thought I would share a couple of photos with you that I don't think I've shared yet.



The little boy on the left is my cousin's son(Grayson). He is such a sweetheart and we love going to visit him. He was completely enchanted by the hat that Adam had on. LOL




This picture is a miracle in itself. These two never sit still long enough to take a picture, much less pose for one. I was out running errands one day last week and my dad sent this picture to my phone. I couldn't believe it! Definitely a frame worthy pic!

Quote of The Day!


I have to post this because it was just the cutest thing in the world. Adam followed me into the bedroom today and proceeded to say..."Mama, it's snowing outside." To which I replied..."No sweetie, it's not snowing." Then he turns right around and responds with.."Well it needs to snow." How cute was that? LOL The poor kid wants to see snow so bad and he doesn't understand that Mommy can't just snap her fingers and make it snow. Oh well! LOL

Baby, It's Cold Outside!

WOW!!!! Has it been cold or what? I am kind of shocked at how low the outside temperature has reached here lately. I mean, come on..17 degrees? That's pretty dang cold for South Carolina! Every time I feel the chill run through me, it makes me long for warmer days. Although, I do have to admit that it would have been nice to see some snow the other night. Where we live in Anderson county, we only saw patches of snow dust. I can remember as a kid being at my grandparents' house in Salem and it snowing so much that when we walked out, it was up around our waist(which was a lot because we were kids). Now, we are lucky to see any at all. Oh well.

Anyway, enough about the weather....The only thing I really have to blog about right now is my possible job coming up. I applied for a temporary job at Arby's here in Anderson while I am trying to go back to school and I had an interview with them this past Friday. The interview went really well as far as I'm concerned and it seemed like the manager really enjoyed meeting me and getting to know me. She said that I should hear something from her by Wednesday of this week, so please say prayers for me from now til then. I really need a job and I would be so grateful if I got this one. It's a hard market out there and you have to be appreciative of what you receive.

Not Really a Resolution

So I made a decision back before Christmas to become a healthier person and get in shape. I made the decision then because I didn't want the dreaded curse of the New Year Resolution hanging over my head. Ya know, you make them, but sometimes you don't stick to them. Well this is not going to be a repeat of so many years before. I have been working out for about 3 weeks now and I can honestly say that I do feel a lot better. I've even been told that I look a little different which is great motivation to keep doing what I've been doing. I'm still working on my eating habits which are coming along. I've definitely gotta get that on the right path and once I do, I know I will have great success at this. I can tell such a vast improvement in my overall disposition since I've started this lifestyle change. I'm not as tired and definitely not as moody as I was. I'm entering this new year with the hopes of a lot of changes and knowing that with a little motivation and encouragement from myself and others, this will turn out to be a wonderful year! Just let me say a real quick thank you to all of my friends who stand by me and keep encouraging me to stay in the game! It's great to know that I have people willing to step up and kick me in the butt when I need it. LOL

The Year is 2010!

Well so far 2010 has been a pretty decent year. I'm actually looking forward to this year and hoping for great things to happen along the way. Hopefully I can keep up with this blog more and update it on a regular basis. I'm shooting for at least once a week.

Adam is doing wonderful! He is growing into the smart young man that I knew he would become since I carried him in my womb. He is learning his alphabet and numbers and can say them to me without any help. I am very proud of him! It's very hard to grasp the concept that in 2 months, he will be turning 4 years old. My baby is growing up on me and I'm not as prepared as I thought I would be. I often find myself missing those days of when he was so tiny in my arms and would lay on my chest and sleep for hours on end. Or the days when he was just learning how to crawl and he was a wonder to watch moving around the house. But I do have to admit that right now is a fun time as well. He is learning new things everyday and nothing and I do mean NOTHING!!!!! beats him walking up to me, throwing his arms around my neck and telling me that he loves me! I tear up every time he does because it just makes my heart melt to hear those words come from him.

Anyway, time to dry the waterworks for now. LOL I will report back later with further details! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! May God bless each and every one of you this year!

Christmas Pics

Yeah I know they are a little late, but better late than never!! These may be out of order and random, but you'll understand with the captions.

Adam on our way to Denny's on Christmas Night. We were tired of leftovers and that was one of the few places open. LOL

Adam was in the process of opening his stocking from Santa when I snapped this photo. I'm amazed that he looked at the camera for me.
Spin Pro remote control car from Santa. This toy is very very loud! LOL
Monster Jam!!!! My baby loves his monster jams!!!
This toy is cool. Still trying to figure out the voice activation though.
