Figuring Me Out

Figuring Me Out

Sometimes, as women we get lost in our relationships... lost in all the roles we assume on a daily basis. I know I've posted a couple of times recently about who I am and perhaps you all are getting tired of reading about my process of figuring me out, but ...

Potty Training? Um, No.

Potty Training? Um, No.

Zoe has developed a nasty little habit. She will "boo boo" and then decide immediately that she wants nothing to do with her diaper. So she takes it off. Imagine a 20 month old professional climber making her way up the side of my executive desk with a huge grin ...

How To Change the World

How To Change the World

This morning, I saw a tweet about Saddleback's online campus.

There Snow Place Like Home

There Snow Place Like Home

Yesterday morning, it started snowing... well flurry-ing... In Louisiana, that's a major deal. We can just about run around in shorts all winter. It gets cold for about 10 minutes and then it's summer all of a sudden. There's no fall and no spring. LOL Here is a photo of ...

My Girls :)

My Girls :)

When the kids miss the bus, I often use our time stuck in the car line to snap a few shots of them before school. Here are a few of Avalyn, Talia, and Briyana from a few days ago:

Fibromyalgia, Tumors, and Me

Fibromyalgia, Tumors, and Me

I've had a surprising amount of dialog lately about Fibromyalgia. I have to say it's refreshing to have so many people know what it is... and relate to me. Being diagnosed 18 years ago, I grew up accepting that I had a disorder that no one understood - that many ...

Jealousy and Dreams {Life}

Jealousy and Dreams {Life}

I can't honestly say I don't get knots in my stomach when I listen to some of the newest music artists. Having a singing career has always been my dream, but as life would have it - I've had no real opportunities to pursue it... I sometimes am jealous that ...

The Me That I Am

The Me That I Am

With life as busy as it is, I admit there normally aren't many chances throughout the weeks to stop and seriously consider who I am... or what I am doing. I'm one of those people who - no matter how much I try to plan and schedule - typically ends ...

I hate that I don’t get to see him much… I love him to death – he’s so precious! I can hardly wait until Barry gets visitation. He isn’t my son but I feel that he is a part of our family because he is Barry’s son…

Oh, and Barry and I have set a date to get married on July 14 of next year at …

I got a job and Briyana started at Mt Carmel today… she had a lot of fun. I came to get her and she was just playing away! She is so smart- even her teacher said that after being with her for one day- I was so proud of her!

How confusing can things get?

Barry and I have had a rocky few days… just found out he is going to be a father again. He wasn’t exactly ‘being still’ while we weren’t together this summer. Kara called me on Barry’s cell phone when I had it to let me know to tell him that she is about 4 months pregnant again. It’s something we have decided …

Briyana and Kylan finally met!

And, yes, I did say “met” – this is the first time they’ve seen each other, and it wasn’t due to Kylan being “allowed” either. Was purely coincidence. In any event, it was SO nice and SO sweet.
Briyana is 7 months and Kylan is 10 months

We went to KJ’s first birthday party (Quintena’s son) and Barry’s mom had Kylan there so we took this picture …

Maya is 7 months old!

Wowwww… Briyana can stand up by herself UNsupported {as of 9/10 @ 9:20pm} and she plays by herself for pretty good stretches of time. She turned 7 months old on the 6th of this month and went to church for the first time {also on the 10th}. She did SO well for her first time. She didn’t get bored or frustrated and didn’t cry at …

Amaya’s SECOND tooth!!!

Awwww – my baby’s 2nd tooth came in today! It’s on the bottom in the front by the other one. We went to see Barry’s grandma in the hospital today. I really love that woman – she’s awesome… SO sweet. When we left, we went to Sonic’s and passed Kara on the way home… MUAHAHAHAHAHA! Sorry… couldn’t help it. Oh well LOL

CAMARO!!!!

Barry finally got his car today (well, technically yesterday now) – a red Camaro! We rode around tonight and went to eat at Sonic. He brought me and Maya home at about 12:30am after we spent some time together and just chilled out.
I wouldn’t say we are just “HAPPY” now but it’s nice for us to kinda be back into the swing of things, communicating …

Family Reunion…

Barry’s family reunion starts today… His sister, Shunda, and her three sons (Dontavious, Tabious, and Brandon) got here from Cali last night. I can’t wait to meet her! (and them) All Barry has talked about for the last week and a half are his little nephews!
[update]
Instead of doing a completely different entry, I thought I’d just add this here…
We went to the reunion. I got …
