Supermom!

Monday, July 30, 2007

Saturday Eric, the boys, and I went to Simmons Sporting Goods to see Michael Waddell. It was so fun. Everybody bought something for him to autograph. I got Season 4 DVD, Dylan got a hat and Caleb got a shirt. Caleb really wanted a toy gun, but it was so close to his birthday we decided not to get it. So this is the conversation between Eric and Caleb as we were leavin the Store.
Caleb- "I really wanted a gun"
Eric- " Your not getting a gun it is to close to your birthday."
Caleb- "But I needed a gun"
Eric- "You're going to need help if you don't hush"
Caleb- "What's a help?"
Eric couldn't answer for laughing so hard.
Caleb- "I don't need a help, I need a gun."
I thought that was so funny, I just had to share.

Dissapointment

Today I feel yuck and dissapointed with myself. I am tired of only doing the things that are required of me to survive. I am ready to do exceedingly and abundantly more than I ever have. To people who don't know me that well may think I am asking for a bit much, but if you know me that's just how I roll. LOL! I do everything that has to be done, bathing the children, cooking, cleaning, laundry, and so on and so on, but I feel like there is so much more that I should be doing. I feel like I have lost my supermom power. I don't have it all together anymore, and I hate it. I want to be a better mother and wife. I feel like I have let my family down. Yes, I guess I am wallowing in self -pitty, but I assure you that I am not trying to get people's attention. I just want to do a better job at juggling all of my responsibilities and your advice may help.

Always wear a helmet.

Friday July 13, 2007 is a day I will never forget. I got a phone call at 11:00a.m. It was Dylan and Caleb's dad, He told me that he was carrying Dylan to the hospital, because Dylan had a bike wreck and needed stitches. They were in Hoxie, AR, which is about 5 hours away. I was at work, so I thought, just stitches I can deal with that I wasn't going to drive 5 hours. About two hours later, Jonathan called back and said that they were transporting Dylan to Children's hospital because he had a fractured skull and air was getting in to his brain. I immediately left work and my mother and I headed up to Little Rock. We arrived about 5 minutes before the ambulance. When the ambulance arrived, we were waiting outside, and their was my baby. He had a patch over his eye and a neck brace on. He was so happy and relieved to see his momma and nana. They immediately started taking more x-rays and a ct-scan. We waited and waited and waited. The whole time, I must tell you Dylan laid there with no pain medicine whatsoever because he had a concussion. Finally, at 6:30 p.m., after we found out that the skull was not depressed, he did not have to have surgery Praise God!, and they could sew the wound up. Dylan was very adamant that he did not want stitches, but he got 8 stitches anyway. They gave us specific instructions on how do deal with a head injury and take care of his stitches and at 9:00, we were ready to go home. Dylan is healing very well and he is dealing with his accident well. We are blessed that it was no worse than it was, and thanks to everyone for their constant love and prayers.

A great weekend

Rayleigh and Micah had a great time with my dad and Donna this weekend. Thursday, Eric and I took Micah and Rayleigh to my dad's and we picked up Kaitlynn and Sarah. The weekend was very relaxing. I got some much needed rest. Here are a few pictures of the girls this weekend.

Happy Birthday Micah!

My youngest daughter is turning 1 today. No more babies. That's okay though, I am ready to enjoy sleeping all night, rough housing with my family because I am not pregnant, and a hot meal every now and then. I remember when I first found out I was pregnant with Micah, oh the thoughts that ran through my head. Rayleigh was only three months old, our trailer was so small, could we really afford another child, and here it is one year later, and everythings just works out. We are blessed more now than we ever have been, and we couldn't imagine our life without her. She is so sweet and lovable, she loves her bunny, and she absolutely will not sleep anywhere except her crib. I just want to take time to thank the Lord for all of his blessings to me, especially my husband and our four children.
