Samia- 8 Years Old!!

My beautiful Samia!!

Happy Birthday my precious child!

You are a beautful Child of God. And I am blessed to call you my daughter.

Thi s is the 3rd birthday you have gotten to celebrate with us. I am so happy!

I am so thankful that God saw that you needed a Mama and thought that I was the perfect one for the job.  I may not always feel like I am being a good mama to you and our family but God knows what He is doing.

You will be going into 2nd grade in a month!! You are growing up so quickly.

You love going to cedar point with us and riding every roller coaster that you can get on. Hopefully next year you will be tall enough to ride even more.

You over explain everything you try to tell us.

When you grown up you said you want to work at Walmart (like grami), at IGA (like brett) and at Burlington (like mama).

You love to swim and be in water.  Grami has taken you for swim lessons and I think  that they have definetly helped.

Oh and your kitty just had kittens... in your bed. You were so happy for that!! You love all the kittys so much already and don't want us to get rid of any of them... but I am sorry princess, we kinda have to.. I don't think I could handle 7 cats running around!!

I love you so much Samia!

I cant wait to see what the future holds for you!!

Just in a Funk

This week has been a week from hell.

I don't know if this is just what a normal week is and I am just in a bad mood and can't handle it or what the deal is... but its 10:30 on a Saturday morning and I am ready to pop open a bottle of wine and sip my hearts desire.

But I know in adult world... that isn't possible.

I just feel like screaming this week.

I haven't felt great and because of that I haven't kept up on my chores like I should...and no one else has stepped up to help out either.

I am just in a funk I guess. I feel like all I am here for is to clean up after everyone. I am not appreciated. I am not respected. I am the maid.

Deep down I know that isn't true... but on the surface that is what it seems like.

I am blessed. I know I am. I am so thankful for the beautiful children God has given me. I am thankful for my jobs. My vehicle, my house, for my family and friends. I am really blessed to call them my own.

I am just in a funk... and I know that it will take me blowing up and blowing everything out of porportion and seem like a crazy mama to make anything change... and I am trying not to get to that point... ugh.

I am just going to go pop a couple prozac... sip my coffee... and pray.
