Just livin' life!

Things I LOVE about Kate...

This girl loves the animals so so much. She especially loves the neighbors cat Narla. She will be so motherly..."come here, girl"

One day when we went to pick up the neighbor a different cat and Kate became friends. She was very happy.






I love that when she went to see Santa she totally knew he was a fraud.

He didn't know her name. uh....Duh Santa! Get with the program.

Here is something that just reminds me of my girl. She is a girl who knows what she wants and I need to be careful not to squash her.


I also love this idea...




I had Justine help Kate wrap up a present from Kate to give to me. They were Salt and Pepper Shakers. Corey and I don't really do much for each other for Christmas. But I have seen the kids feel bad about that Christmas morning. They notice and it lessens their Christmas joy to see us not get presents. So I have sort of learned that maybe that isn't the best approach. So I am making sure we have a few things this year.

So I love that Kate didn't tell me what my present was but that it had to do with "pep....pep....pepper".

Ha ha. She kills me sometimes.

Rhett is killing it on the Basket Ball Court. He made the farthest three point shot tonight ever know to any 12 year old mankind. He also got a bloody nose. He was gone forever until  Corey went to check on him. He said he walked in the bathroom and was like "did you gut an elk in here?" because there was so much blood everywhere. That cracked me up. Boys! 

Per Corey's request, I wore my Steelers shirt today in honor of their big win. Which I could care less about but I am a good family team member. 


I am starting to feel more and more certain about Social Work. I am understanding people in a different way since therapy, group, sessions with Kristopher, Dr Phil (HA HA).



If I could really get trained properly and I knew what I was doing (you know that thing were you wonder what you would do if you weren't scared you'd fail? ) I would like to try working with youth with mental illness or delinquency issues. I don't know. Just a thought for now. We will see. 

Here is my new favorite song. I think it is so beautiful. And wow Christina! She looks good. I think I need to start going to the gym. I can't seem to get past where I am at. I need something more.



I have something sad to share. Corey gave me permission. For quite a while now (more than a year, stubborn boy) he has had a lot of muscle problems and aches and pains and swelling and limited functions with his arms, wrists, hands, ect... He has been fairly miserable in a lot of ways.

He finally went to see a specialist and was diagnosed with Lupas.

Needless to say, I am very concerned and sad for what this means. 

We don't quite know yet what to expect or how to handle it. I am sad for him because he is so very active and to see him constantly in pain is sad. I assume it will slow him down a bit but he insists it won't stop him from doing the things he loves. 

I don't know yet what it means for our lives. I guess time will tell. Stinks.

Hello, my old friend.

It's been about six months since I have seen your face. I decided today that I needed you again, back in my life. School is all but a mi...
