Goodbye

I am going to stop blogging. I will delete my blog by the end of the week. Jim and I are trying to save money and we have decided that we need to get rid of the internet. I will still have access but on a very limited basis. I have enjoyed blogging, it has truely helped me get through some tough times and I have been able to share all the joyous time as well. I gotten to know so many of y'all through this and I will continue to read your blogs. I have started a journal again. And I hope that one day Bailee will be able to enjoy reading it, when she gets older, and will understand her mother a little bit better. So keep blogging girls. Talk to you soon

Calling All STJ Moms

I have noticed that all of us have been stressed out lately. I was wondering if y'all would like to get together and have a play date for Moms only. Nothing fancy, maybe we can meet at someone's house and bring our favorite stress food. Let me know if this sounds like something y'all might want to do. I would gladly have it my house.

My Inspiration

I often wonder what inspires people to volunteer or to get behind a cause? My inspiration has come from a 9 year old boy. He inspires me to live each and everyday. When I get down and feel sorry for myself I think of him and his mom. You see he has Brain Cancer to be exact he has Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma. There is no cure.

His mom and I have been the best of friends since elementary school. She and I have been though a lot together. Falls (lol), Loss of Parent, Marriages, Divorce, Children, but not in a million years did we ever think this would happen.

Last month I signed up for Send Love Today. It is an orginaztion that sends cards to children and adults with Brain Cancer. I am also lucky to have a friend, Ashley, to give me ideas and some supplies to make this happen. I know that it is not much, but who doesn't love to get a card in the mail, better than a bill. If you would like to know more about Hunter or any of the other kids or to join Send Love Today please go to http://www.caringbridge.org or www.sendlovetoday.blogspot.com

I would love to hear what inspires you?

Mother's Day

I have watied a long time to celebrate my first Mother's day. I am honored to be Bailee's mom. But I am reminded of years past.

After a couple of years of marriage, you are going to get the question, When are y'all going to start having a family? When you struggle with infertility you learn to fight back the tears, put on a fake smile and say we are trying. Every year Mother's Day was a reminder that another year has passed and you have failed. In years past Jim and I would go to church and watch all the mom's and dad's get up and have their children dedicated. I would make it half way threw the ceremony and have to excuse myself. I just couldn't understand why not us. Now this year it is us and I am go excited and overjoyed. But I am reminded that there are a lot of wanna-be moms out there, that will be struggling on Sunday. I pray that they have courage and faith.

What a Week

This has been a very hard week for me. All I can say is that goodness it is over. I know that other mothers have harder weeks than I do, but I am not myself.

Bailee is standing up by herself without needing something to hold on to. She is growing up way too fast. She still doesn't have any teeth. I made her 1 year appt. on July 8, which is my birthday, not really excited about watching my daughter get shots. I think Jimmy will be taking her that day. Bailee also has discovered the bathroom, she enjoys yelling into the bath tub. I guess she likes the echoing.

Pretty boring post sorry about that.
