Thankful and grateful

It’s been a little bit since I’ve done a “real” post. Baby boy is a month old today and doing very well. The picture above was taken yesterday of my beautiful babies. I am so thankful for so much, including them.
My husband has taken a job across the county. He just transfered stores but it is a much better store for opportunity . He is upper store management now working towards having his own store next year or so. Where he was just didn’t provide advancement in the amount of time that he had hoped for. With this store he can look forward to being district manager in the next 5-7 years, with retirement in 15 years.
On Friday, I will be personally delivering our very last house payment. I am beyond excited about this. Along with the transfer my husband made at work and the house paid off, we will probably move in the close future. Not that I look forward to moving again but I do support my husband in any and all things he does. Which means, if he received a call tomorrow to transfer us to Washinton State, I would be packed by the end of the week, ready. With his job, being ready to move is a plus.
Hopefully, things will be a little easier but I know that something will come up. Always does. I hope to travel to my mom’s a little more often now. Btw, she did lose all her hair after her first chemo treatment. I am crocheting her some hats and scarfs to wear. Other than that, she does seem really good. She has a few bad days but good so far.
I miss talking and connecting with a few of my friends lately. I hope it is just a temperary disconnection, only time will tell but I hope y’all have a great day and I am grateful for all of you.

Why do I blog?

You know as I lay in my bed, I wonder what in the world could I blog about? I’m a stay at home mom that does laundry, washes dishes, gets kid up and ready for school, cook, clean, keeper of all things, etc… Probably no different than any other mom. I’m not special, have no special job description, the government doesn’t recognize my work. I don’t have a paid job to work at then come home to be mom and wife like most women do. So what makes me think someone might be interested in reading my blog? I don’t. I hope to use this to be more social with people, I don’t get out much. I hope to find people that are similar to me in some ways. I hope that through blogging, I can keep a logged history for my kids to see. I want a place where I can voice my opinion and maybe see the other side because of it.
I am a submissive wife by choice to my husband. (Which doesn’t mean what you pervs thinks.) I am home when he gets home from work. I try to have him supper on the table. I keep the kids 24/7, which means I do all the dressing, cleaning, feeding, shopping, school functions, etc that needs to be done. I feel that if he works 50-60+ hours a week to provide a home, food, car, clothes and any needs that we may have, he has the right to not deal with anything domestic in the home. Now, with that being said, he doesn’t just lay around when he is home. He keeps the outside going and any big projects I need. He takes the kids to places and we all veg when he is off work. For our family, this works.
In  January 2007 I ruptured my L5 disc in my back. I’ve had 2 surgeries and 3 epidurals because of it. This should tell you a little about the kind of pain I’ve been in since the rupture. I have had 3 completely natural births without the use of epidurals.  Up till I recovered from my second surgey, my pain was suicidal pain. If it had not been for the love of my husband and the love of the children we have, I would have died during that time. I still have pain, some days more than others, but I can live with this pain. My last surgery was in February of 2010. That November, I decided I wasn’t going to use my pain medicine at all. It was so hard. I had been on 6 high dosage pain meds, all narcotics for 3 solid years. It took me 6 weeks to completely be off them. Those 6 weeks was terrible. The withdrawals was almost as bad as being in pain. I almost couldn’t tell the difference. But I did it. I did it on my own, my own will power to live helped me so much.
So, why do I want to blog? No real reason, but to get to know you. I ramble a lot, as you can tell in this post. I am as country as turnip greens, cornbread and sweet ice tea. My door is always open and we have bonfires when the weather lets us. I may be a little backwoods/redneck but you wouldn’t have me any other way.
If you happen to make it to the end of this post, let me know what you think. Comments are my greatest tool and I take the good and the bad. I would love any suggestions as well. Hope to hear from you soon… XOXO

Gotta Start Somewhere

Well, every blogger starts somewhere, so here is my start. I am an old blogger but haven’t blogged in several years because I lost time for it. I forgot how much I loved blogging. I had a blog that was for family purposes only and it was a great get away for me then. I never thought I would have any children of my own and when I did, well, I wanted to document every moment of it. I did pretty good at it until life got so hectic. I’ve taken a long break but here I am back. I have several blogger friends that i envy. I just could hope to be half the blogger’s that they are.

This is just an ice breaker post, just to get something started. I hope that I don’t bore you to death or scare anybody away. I will post pretty much anything and everything. I love to interact with everybody, so plz leave me comments and I will do the same. Also, please introduce yourself, if I don’t already know you. Leave my your blog info and I will return the favor. I look forward to meeting a lot of you and can’t wait to get this blog off the ground.

I will also be doing lots of changes, so plz be patient with me till I get it just the way I want and where it will be fun for you. Any suggestions would be appreciated as well.

Thank you for taking time to check me out and let me know you stopped by…
