Cancer Sucks!

Resorting to the blog?  Wow things must be tough, it's been a year since I posted anything.  Sitting doing some reflection tonight.  My best friend from childhood, Jacque was diagnosed with AML (Leukemia) on Wednesday.  Words cannot begin to describe my feelings.  Mostly I am devastated for her.  I wish I could be there.  The years and miles that have keep us apart haven't kept her out of my heart.  She is and always has been like a sister to me.  And now, in her greatest time of need she is thousands of miles away in a hospital bed fighting the fight of her life.  I am grateful that her mom and boyfriend can be there for her.

When something this devastating happens it really changes your perspective on life.  Every day is a gift.  I'm sitting here thinking about how many I wasted.  I could be a better wife, mother, friend, daughter, sister, aunt, boss, employee, snowboarder.... lol.  I can't change the past.  I can, however, look forward and travel a better path.  Maybe I'll take the route where they exercise and eat right.  That might be a good idea.  Or even the one where the mom keeps the house spic and span in her 48 hour day.  Hmm. maybe not the later, but you get the point.

One thing I can say that I am blessed about is that I know in my heart without a doubt that I found that once in a lifetime love.  You know the kind they portray in movies.  I mean, I'm not living a movie but I know that I love Bryce as much as they show in those sappy movies.  I mean what's not to love, he's handsome, smart, funny, kind, caring, handy, oh yeah and handsome! I'm blessed that he chose me as his wife.  Ok, maybe I chose him and didn't give him a choice but he's the first one to tell you that no one can MAKE him do anything he doesn't want to.  I'm sure that would include marrying me.

The kids are a blessing.  They bring so much joy to my life.  Maddie is 13 and needs her momma more than ever right now.  Jayce is my little guy who I hope never grows up.  Although he can't really fit on my lap anymore.  He sat on my lap at Maddie's softball game today and I couldn't see over his head.

New outlook... that's the theme for now.  I'll let you know how that goes. 

Back on the Saddle!

I'm back...

It's been way too long since I've posted to this blog. The craziness is in full swing. I have some amusing stories (at least I think they're amusing) to share. Maybe I'll write a book. Maybe not, I fear Bryce might be the only one to buy it.

Anyhow, it's springtime again. The sun is out, we are endlessly busy and the kids are growing like weeds. Maybe I should refer to them as beautiful flowers, I know, but weeds are the chosen reference today. Anyhow, being a wife, mom, boss, school volunteer, etc. has been really wearing on my lately. Oh, can't forget that I'm also a star softball player too! Bryce and I joined a co-ed league. Ok, maybe I'm not the star but I try.

Jayce comment for the week: "It's not a brand new day, it's been used 2011 times". This in reference to me telling him "tomorrow is a brand new day..." Gotta love the wit that kid has.

Goodnight~

Have you seen my brain?

Ok, so noboby tells you that when you approach 30 you literally lose your mind. At least that's how I'm seeing it. I can't find anything anymore. Keys, clothes, dishes, my house... yes I drove past it the other day.

Do they sell some kind of brain booster... I need it, all natural of course. I gave up caffine and I swear that stuff was keeping me sane, because now that I don't have it. I'm lost!

Oh, well I better enjoy the last of my twenties, they're almost gone. Just my thoughts for today!

Loving Unconditionally

I've spent the last year working really hard to be positive and keep moving forward. The last few months have been really rough. Maybe it's because I'm approaching the big 3-0. I'm not sure but things have been a little dark for me.

I'm so greatful that I have had the chance to spend some time really looking at life and what is really important to me. My kids, Maddie and Jayce, and my husband, Bryce! I'm greatful for our health, and our ability to be with each other everyday.

It's so easy to get caught up in the negative, too easy! We have to try even harder just to remain positive. Thank goodness it's springtime. Sunshine is good for the soul. I can't wait to scrapbook some memories, maybe even work in the garden. Flowers would be awesome!

Hello Spring!

Sick in Bed

It's Monday and I'm home sick! I figured it was the perfect opportunity to start my blog, which by the way, I've been putting off for months. I'm hoping this will take place of the therapy bill I would have otherwise. We'll see how that goes.

Anyway- Happy Monday to me! A mountain of emails, the boss is in Europe, and everyone needs something from me. This home office set up I have can be a blessing or a curse. I haven't decided yet.

I'm trying to figure out how to catch up on the laundry, housework, work-work, and have dinner on the table at 4:50 to get Maddie to Volleyball camp by 5:30. So much for Monday night football! LOL.

I have to go I think I may have overdosed on Usana vitamins. I just did the math on the vitamin C and I don't know if the vitamins are ok to take with the Musinex. OOPS! Love, Me
