I love Maya Angelou!

"If our children are to approve of themselves, they must see that we approve of ourselves."

"I would like to be known as an itelligent woman, a courageous woman, a loving woman, a woman who teaches by being."

"I like the person I am becoming."

"Content is of great importance, but we must never underestimate the value of style."

"Someone was here before you, lost before you, ignored before you, and yet, miraculously, someone has survived with passion, compassion, and humor and style."

"I am not competing with anyone other than myself. I want to be excellent at whatever I do."

"Life doesn't frighten me at all. Not at all. Not at all. Life doesn't frighten me at all."

"I've heard it said that winter, too, will pass and spring a sign that summer is due at last. See, all we have to do is hang on."

"There is something gracious and graceful about serving."

"When we step away for a time we are not being irresponsible, we are preparing ourselves to better perform our duties and obligations. Sometimes when we step away, we return to find that important questions have been answered in our absence."
Maya Angelou

Remember Me??

Wow, I cannot believe it has been an entire month since I have written on my blog. So much has happened I surely will not be able to catch it up. Our holiday was wonderful. We spent it with family and friends.

School has been hectic. I now go every day of the week and I work half days on friday and all day on saturday. What was I thinking? I am so tired. I keep hearing from others, "I don't know how you do it." I just tell them, "I really don't either, but I"m doing what I have too."

Because I am now going to school for five days a week we had to find a sitter for the kids. We finally found someone who we feel comfortable leaving them with, but she is extremely expensive. So once again we are financially bonkers. That's all I can say about it. We get caught up and then...

Because of the cost we are continuing our search for a different sitter, so if anyone knows any let us know.

Malyana has had a really hard time adjusting to the recent changes in our family. Please pray for her and for Scott and I. On monday this week, she got in trouble for not listening and she balled up her fist and hit me in the face. Then on Friday, she cut her hair. All the way to the scalp on one side in the front. I told Scott that I have been waiting for her head to spin all the way around. Last night I cried myself to sleep, I just don't know what to do. And I wonder if this all will be worth it.

Graysen is geeting so big. He has 3 1/2 teeth. He is recently getting over a double ear infection and bronchitis. He has had to be on antibiotics and breathing treatments. Poor guy. I have always said, "two very good reasons not to have children are teething and potty training." But I do love the two I have!!!!
