Happy New Year

Today is the first day of 2011!

I am excited and going into the new year with an attitude of the glass half full. This year has got to be better than last year. My cancer diagnosis and being told I was cancer free. We lost some people very dear to us and they will be missed dearly. I was "downsized" out of my job. And I'm still looking. I did work for 6 weeks at the mall on the Santa set. It was a lot of fun and a lot of work! But well worth it. So...on to 2011. May we prosper in the coming year! May our loives be filled with joy, love and laughter!

I'm a horrible Blogger!

Honestly, I don't know that anyone looks at it anyway! But I am a bad blogger anyway! I forget about it. Seems that facebook has become my blog these days.

First Grade

I just put Madilyn on the bus to her first day of first grade! I'm sad because my baby is growing up, but I am happy that she loves school!

Have a great day Baby Girl!

Happy Mother's Day!

I have the best family ever. My daughter is a smart, beautiful, well-mannered little girl, and I am so proud to call myself her mommy! My husband, well, he's just the best!!!!

I miss you momma! Happy mother's day!

So it seems that I come here when I scrap or when I need to vent...but I guess that is what blogs are for right?

I am having a terrible day! It is one of those days where I feel like crying, but not sobbing uncontrollably...just sitting quietly while the tears roll down my face cry!

I have had this overwhelming urge for about a week to hear my mom's voice. I'm not sure if I'm afraid that I have forgotten what it sounds like or that I just need a good mother/daughter chat. Either way, I want to call her. I want to hear her laugh. Because that's what we did when we talked on the phone, we laughed...a lot. Usually because I was doing something stupid to make her laugh, but still.

As I am typing this, I am listening to my daughter giggle as my dear, dear husband gives her a shower. They are laughing and using silly voices...it makes my heart swell!!!!

So I ask this...How can I be so sad and have my cup runneth over at the same time?
