Do Over Please!!!!

Today has really been one of those days that makes you wish you never woke up, never got out of bed. I was on my way to school, running a little late so I decided to take a short cut and avoid as much of Murfreesboro rd. as I could. Well, big mistake! I was on Pin Hook rd. which if you can't tell by the name has alot of undeveloped land. Deer season which I should be aware of is going on. So I am coming down the street and there is a part where the rd. dips so down in the dip. I see one deer crossing. I slammed on the brakes, stopped, then paused waiting a minute did not see any other deer, then all the I start going, excelerated and sure enough here come another one and I hit it. Not just hit it and, it kept going, it did a full tuck and roll all the way across the street in the ditch. I felt like the worse person ever. I know I did not have any control over the situation, but to think about hurting a poor defenseless deer is awful. I hope it did not suffer, bless its heart! So I pull over at Antioch High and am hyperventilating, call my dad. I was not even worried about the car. Travis said I should have hit it at full force and totaled the car which totally sounds like Travis if you know him. My car is okay just a samll dent, and part of my grill came off, but still drivable so no new car yet. Then I get to school and one of my kids fails to tell us he needs to potty, anyways you get the picture!! I went to take the trash out of the can, it had a hole got all over my feet. I am like can't I catch a break today?? So in other news Mase had his first time out in school yesterday. He was so funny. He knew he had got in trouble, he would not talk about what happened at all. He does a good job at explaining himself which I guess is good. I just hope for a better day tommorow! I am going to keep my fingers crossed!!!

Welcome Fall

I am so past ready for Fall to be here! It is by far my most favorite season! One it is Mase's birthday month. My 2nd favorite holiday, Halloween of course! I love the leaves the trees you name it I am so all about fall. I have not been on here actually blogging alot lately. Reta scared me half to death and ended up in the hospital in pretty bad shape. The Lord has really helped her though and luckily she will be back at home resting soon. Mase is loving Pre-School. I promise I am going to put some pics of his work up asap. I have just really been a busy girl lately. He is getting so big and I don't just mean big in growth. Big in attitude too! He tells me all the time I am a big boy and I can do it by myself!! He asked me yesterday if he could have a rain coat like his for his sister. I said you don't have a sister. He said but I want one!! I told him to wish as hard as he can and that wish still might not come true. Especially right now I am definently not in baby frame of mind!! He has been repeating some of Travis 's choice words too, which are not funny, but you can't blame the kid. He loves the Flo Progressive Insurance comercials his new favorite thing is too repeat them. He will say pretty good pretty good, and oh no Flo bot is broken, and everytime he sees the race car bed commercial he has got to have it!! He is too funny!! Love him to pieces!!

A Few Of My Favorite Things

Love to Laugh especially at myself

Fishing and Fish Tails

Mason and Wilkins Fishing at Nice Dam

Oh Foot!!!

So we have been so busy lately adjusting to Travis's new work schedule, among others things that we have had to take care of lately. One of which I am so happy to be done with almost. I am keeping my fingers crossed, we are not totally clear but I do see a little light at the end of the tunnel, and trust me it is a blessing ,Thank the Lord!!!, but enough about me now to the funner part of this blog My child has picked up on some rather colorful expressions from Ya Ya. Anytime she is upset or frustrated she says ''Oh Foot so now anytime Mason gets to feeling aggrivated thats what he says. Yesterday he dropped something in the floor board and said it, almost fell, said it. You get the picture, kinda hilarious, believe me I had much rather he say that than to pick up on his daddy's language. Well until next time..

Thanksgiving

30 Day Photo Challenge cont

Day 25 - A pic of your Day...



My day consist of Mason on the weeekends, here is Batman taking a nap.





Day 26 - A pic of something that means alot to you...






Not only was this my Wedding Day and that means alot to me, but also the fact that almost all of mine and Travis's family traveled to Gatlinburg to celebrate it with us. That made it even more special! They did it without complaining, atleast in front of us, and did not just treat it as a vaca and what can I get out of it. They did it because they loved us and wanted to be there! I just could not imagine it being the same without them. I love each and everyone one of them. This was my 2nd favorite day ever!!

Day 27 - A pic of yourself and a family member...





Of course, Miss Aspen the priss, and me. She has been my child now going on for 6 years. This is not the best pic of me, but it was when we lived in Bama and it was a good time for Travis and I working on our relationship, and him being able to spend time with Michael. I have regrets about us moving back, but I would not trade those months for anything!! I am so happy we had that opportunity! It gave me clarity and taught me how strong of a person I really could be. It also let me realize the appreciation for the people in my life and God's plan.


Day - 28 A pic of something you are afraid of...




The picture pretty much says it all, I am scared of failing at anything everything. I guess I am my own worst enemy sometimes.


Day - 29 A pic that can always make you smile...



Anytime Mason and Aspen interact it cracks me up, they are so funny together. She aggravates him, he aggravates her it never gets old. In this pic he was in her spot, so I guess she was going to get into his spot, priceless!!


Day 30 - A pic of someone you miss...





I miss grandaddy alot. He beleived in me, he believed in all of his grandchildren and wanted nothing but the best for them. He was a better man than most and he will be missed by everybody who knew him.

The 30 Day photo Challenge

You are suppose to do one a day, but I am going to do 3 a day so I am kinda cheating...

DAY 1 -A pic of yourself with 10 facts...



This is me with my blonde hair highlights that I can no longer get. This pic was taken after I had Mason, we were living with Travis's parents so it was a tough time, but now I know everything happens for a reason and some things fall into place when they are suppose to fall into place.



1. I am a vegetarian, I eat sometimes pepperoni uncooked, but that is about the only type of meat I will eat.
2. I have OCD just not with cleaning but with where I put stuff, I don't like clutter, everything had its place. I am a organization freak. I mean I will color code mine and Mason's closet, I would probably do my husbands if he would let me.
3.I work with special needs kids and I LOVE IT!!!
4. I have been married to my husband for over 4years. We dated for 5 years before that.
5.I went to TSU for 3 and a half years, got into Nursing school and decided that was NOT what I wanted to do.
6. I have the most beautiful 2 year and Siamese cat that you have ever seen, their names are Mason and Aspen.
7. I love to sing even though I sound like nails on a chalkboard. I still love doing it!
8. I recently got the Holy Ghost and I go to Smyrna Holiness Church. At this point in my life I am very blessed and very happy!!
9. I love the beach, when I was growing up we would go to PCB beach every year that is one of my favorite places, the other is Gatlinburg, that is where my husband and I married.
10. I am obsessed a bit with shoes a girl can never have enough, since I can't color my hair anymore shoes are my new thing!



Day 2 - A pic of you with the person you have been closest with the longest...



I know this sounds really cheesy but it is definently Travis, he knows me inside and out and I will say he has known me the longest I have friends I have known longer, but I am not as close to them as I am to him. His face says it all! We definently take turns making this face at one another. HA!

Day 3 - A pic of the cast from your favorite show...



Grey's Anatomy is my favorite, I loved it in the beginning the cast rocked, before George got killed off and Izzie ran off. It still is a great show, but the original cast is what made it Grey's!

All Nerves

So, in all honesty today has not been the best day, it has been a trial by far and it kind of stinks considering tommorow I go back to work and have to leave Mason again after having him everyday for the past two months. We got some unsettling news today about our finacial situation which took the wind right out of our sail again. Surprised, me no not really, but I am surprised at how well I have been at accepting the fact that even when we have extra money it always finds somewhere to go and some reason to worry me. Not that I am not thankful believe me we have been blessed by far just to make it through the summer (with me not working) and Travis landing a wonderful career opportunity. I just kept on thinking to myself when is the bottom going to fall out, because yes, story of my life it does and usually it is for the worse. I know we can make it through this because of my faith, and because we are us, we have made it through alot worse, it is just money right?? So that is what I keep telling myself Do your best, and let him do the rest!

Countdown is on!

Less than 3 weeks and I will be officially going back to work. Not that I am not ready, believe me I am. At the same time it is going to be hard to get back on schedule, and leave my baby. :( I know he will be in good hands though. I am planning on him staying with my mother-in-law 3 days, and then going with some of his friends to a mothers Day Out for the other 2 days. Travis has two job offers that seem to be promising, and my prayers are being answered. I just hope they pan out and he gets to do something like myself that he will truly loves! A promise of extra money doesn't sound to bad either, but I had rather him make less money and love it, then more money and loathe it. I am just so thankful he and I have had jobs for the past year ,that in itself is a blessing. I know he is capable of doing whatever he sets his mind to I just wish he would believe that himself sometimes. I hope next summer to start some classes and go back to school, I think I finally have my mind set on what I want to do with the credits I have accumulated so far. No need to waste more money or more of my time with changing my mind. I definently need to put them to use! Do your best and he will do the rest!!!

Scary

The second thing I always thank the Lord for when I pray is the safety and good health of my child. Today he took a spill, fell, hit his head on the coffee table, then hit the floor. Luckily my husband was there. Mason immediately started crying, but then had a hard time catching his breath. I told my husband to blow on his face to try and distract him. After 10 seconds he was non-responsive, and went limp (arms and legs). All of my nursing practice fell short and of course I panicked this was not just someone's child, it was my child. My husband was the one to stay calm and shook him, rubbed his face, called his name several times. He finally came to, it was not over 15 seconds, but scary in the least. I called my mother-in-law, then Travis and I tried to decide whether to take hime to the ER or call our doctor, by this time he was up running around playing and acting like normal. I waited about 30 minutes, then went ahead and called our Dr's office to talk to a nurse practioner, to see whether to take him in to get checked out or wait. We called and talked to the practioner who asked a series of questions all the answers was no and I felt alot better. She said to just keep an eye on him through out the night and touch him ever so often to see if he will arouse while asleep, All of which I knew was the protocal for the type of injury. It was just so different because it was my child. I am just so thankful he is okay and that I had Travis there to calm both of us down!
