Let me just say that I am so glad that the holidays are over. I love them just as much as the next person does, Tho with party over here and party over there it can just flat wear someone out! Not to mention that I love schedules and routine. I am so over the holidays that I haven't even attempted too put away all of my decorations. I guess its my way of not thinking about it ... I know it wont put its self away guess i better get too that !! I love the early mornings and getting my husband off to work and Sophia off too school then brother and I go on about our daily stuff. Then the holidays come and school is out here for TWO .. TWO weeks. Now I know how horrible this may sound but I LOVE the whole back to school back too routine day. Tho I guess my getting too ready for that too happen that karma got me in the butt.. and we have not had the best happy back to school days being that EVERYONE has been sick. I know .. I know i shall never confess my need for things to be back to normal again.. psshhh who am i kidding... I always do it ! Any who we have well i should say they have been Sick...... Sophia has been sick for almost 2 months, Nathan started having problems about month ago, and then ended up with out tubes and an ear infection so we are on that road again with him. Steven ended up sick (which almost never happens) and i am so far clear of it all but we will see how long that last. Recap
Steven - ear infections/ strep
Nathan- ear infections/ and removal of tubes
Sophia -ear infections/ Staph infections
I have felt like super mom the last few days. Sophia has had constant fever and whiny and just all around not feeling well and i have been worried about that too turn around and have Steven end up sick and drag him to the doctor to turn around and take Nathan and Sophia both to the doctor. And we all know how that wait at the pharmacy is... FOR EVER and screaming sick kids tired and fussing and a mother that has had no coffee and is smearing hand sanitize on EVERYTHING and you know the general conversations with little kids... no picking nose, no hands in mouth, cover your mouth, open up take you medicine. hour on the hour of temp checks and nose wipes. then you guessed it tons of hand sanitize. Yep I was plum wore out and felt like super mom was out of steam
To top it all off , we have learned that Sophia has night terrors. Do any of you know about that?
well its almost a nightmare but because she stays asleep she ends up screaming and shaking and freaking out in her sleep. Its in the same line as sleep walking which we have noticed as well. before we knew what was wrong, we would wake her up and talk too her then let her go back too sleep and of course that would only work for a few minutes. She went too stay the night at my brothers and my sister in law told me that she was doing the same thing and then she ended up puking and we went to get her at 4 am. due to her having vomited twice. having been on the uphill of being sick we thought maybe she was sick with something else and made her rest the next day. no fever, no puking, and thought well maybe she just over gorged at the sleep over. Come to find out she just was so scared that she caused her too vomit. So we are managing this by calm evenings and the next episode that she has we just sit up with her and hold her while she sleeps and try to comfort her.. as too all being sick around here.. Here is too me not getting it , and too things retreating back to normal!

erked....repeat...life
I know it has been awhile since i have blogged and for that i am sorry .... Its not that I havent anything to say or think..I just dont want to over due you all .
The holidays are upon us and I am excited ,,Not as much as I should be,,, doing the best I can tho and I guess that is all that matters. The holidays used to be a big deal to me , looking forward to missing those few days before the break of school would start to take a trip to Hobbs, New Mexico. To grandmas:) I always enjoyed Christmas more ,we stayed longer had more fun and spent alot more family time together. Only other better trip then Summer vaction. Anyway.. it never failed my dad had to call his best friend and let him know we were coming although a phone call was never needed ,, we were never not there. I dont know what all the excitment was more of food,family, gifts(we had been hiding for months), Hunting ,Fun freezing in the snow, or fighting:) ... But i know for sure that the combo of all was the best feeling and most exting rush i have ever had laying in bed trying to sleep the weeks leading up to getting out of school and driving the short,but long three hours up there.Something about heading up to grandmas was amazing . There is nothing I loved more than spending time with her,dad,mom,brother Jason,aunt Kathy, and many more. Sitting here telling my story i can smell the wood burning stove feel that one of kind warmth the smell of the old but well built house the visual of everything the comfort of climbing into bed in grandmas room all nice and warm with that electric blanket .. that peace of mind and comfort makes me smile a smile so big not even the grinch could steal hahaha..I could go on on about it and may in a differnt post.... But now since dad is gone and grandma moved to Dallas and I feel very separated yet connected. My holidays just arent the same .. I am or was not ready for them to change for my life to be catapolted to a different life style. trying to combine christmas with two different familys and there ways are hard really hard My husband for some reason doesnt have the same exctiment as me and my family and i assume that is the differnce in growing up in different life styles and sad to say but since everyone has seemed to disapate just doesnt have the same feeling as it used to have .. I try to get excited enough for Sophia. Guess i need to just dig a little deeper....
Guess i have done enough whinning and I know this doesnt really have much to do with my blog butt.. It was on my mind and for some people that cant find this its safe and said.

REAP WHAT YOU SOW....act of real life kindness
This has been around many times, but it is just tooooo good not to pass along again!!!!!!
YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW
Good morning said a woman as she walked up to the man sitting on ground.
The man slowly looked up.
This was a woman clearly accustomed to the finer things of life. Her coat was new.. She looked like she had
never missed a meal in her life.
His first thought was that she wanted to make fun of him, like so many others had done before.. "Leave me
alone," he growled....
To his amazement, the woman continued standing.
She was smiling -- her even white teeth displayed in dazzling rows. "Are you hungry?" she asked.
"No," he answered sarcastically. "I've just come from dining with the president. Now go away."
The woman's smile became even broader. Suddenly the man felt a gentle hand under his arm.
"What are you doing, lady?" the man asked angrily. "I said to leave me alone.
Just then a policeman came up. "Is there any problem, ma'am?" he asked..
"No problem here, officer," the woman answered. "I'm just trying to get this man to his feet. Will you help me?"
The officer scratched his head. "That's old Jack. He's been a fixture around here for a couple of years. What do
you want with him?"
"See that cafeteria over there?" she asked. "I'm going to get him something to eat and get him out of the cold
for awhile."
"Are you crazy, lady?" the homeless man resisted. "I don't want to go in there!" Then he felt strong hands grab
his other arm and lift him up. "Let me go, officer. I didn't do anything."
" This is a good deal for you, Jack" the officer answered. "Don't blow it.."
Finally, and with some difficulty, the woman and the police officer got Jack into the cafeteria and sat him at a
table in a remote corner. It was the middle of the morning, so most of the breakfast crowd had already left and
the lunch bunch had not yet arrived...
The manager strode across the cafeteria and stood by his table. "What's going on here, officer?" he asked. "What
is all this, is this man in trouble?"
"This lady brought this man in here to be fed," the policeman answered.
"Not in here!" the manager replied angrily. "Having a person like that here is bad for business.."
Old Jack smiled a toothless grin. "See, lady. I told you so. Now if you'll let me go. I didn't want to come here
in the first place."
The woman turned to the cafeteria manager and smiled....... "Sir, are you familiar with Eddy and Associates, the
banking firm down the street?"
"Of course I am," the manager answered impatiently. "They hold their weekly meetings in one of my banquet
rooms."
"And do you make a goodly amount of money providing food at these weekly meetings?"
"What business is that of yours?"
I, sir, am Penelope Eddy, president and CEO of the company."
"Oh."
The woman smiled again. "I thought that might make a difference." She glanced at the cop who was busy stifling a
giggle. "Would you like to join us in a cup of coffee and a meal, officer?"
"No thanks, ma'am," the officer replied. "I'm on duty."
"Then, perhaps, a cup of coffee to go?"
"Yes, maam. That would be very nice."
The cafeteria manager turned on his heel, "I'll get your coffee for you right away, officer."
The officer watched him walk away. "You certainly put him in his place," he said.
"That was not my intent. Believe it or not, I have a reason for all this."
She sat down at the table across from her amazed dinner guest. She stared at him intently.. "Jack, do you
remember me?"
Old Jack searched her face with his old, rheumy eyes. "I think so -- I mean you do look familiar."
"I'm a little older perhaps," she said. "Maybe I've even filled out more than in my younger days when you worked
here, and I came through that very door, cold and hungry."
"Ma'am?" the officer said questioningly. He couldn't believe that such a magnificently turned out woman could
ever have been hungry.
"I was just out of college," the woman began. "I had come to the city looking for a job, but I couldn't find
anything. Finally I was down to my last few cents and had been kicked out of my apartment. I walked the streets
for days. It was February and I was cold and nearly starving. I saw this place and walked in on the off chance
that I could get something to eat."
Jack lit up with a smile. "Now I remember," he said.. "I was behind the serving counter. You came up and asked
me if you could work for something to eat. I said that it was against company policy."
"I know," the woman continued. "Then you made me the biggest roast beef sandwich that I had ever seen, gave me a
cup of coffee, and told me to go over to a corner table and enjoy it. I was afraid that you would get into
trouble... Then, when I looked over and saw you put the price of my food in the cash register, I knew then that
everything would be all right."
"So you started your own business?" Old Jack said.
"I got a job that very afternoon. I worked my way up. Eventually I started my own business that, with the help
of God, prospered." She opened her purse and pulled out a business card.. "When you are finished here, I want
you to pay a visit to a Mr. Lyons...He's the personnel director of my company. I'll go talk to him now and I'm
certain he'll find something for you to do around the office." She smiled. "I think he might even find the funds
to give you a little advance so that you can buy some clothes and get a place to live until you get on your
feet... If you ever need anything, my door is always opened to you."
There were tears in the old man's eyes. "How can I ever thank you?" he said.
"Don't thank me," the woman answered. "To God goes the glory. Thank Jesus...... He led me to you."
Outside the cafeteria, the officer and the woman paused at the entrance before going their separate ways....
"Thank you for all your help, officer," she said.
"On the contrary, Ms. Eddy," he answered. "Thank you. I saw a miracle today, something that I will never forget.
And..And thank you for the coffee."
God closes doors no man can open & God opens doors no man can close..
If you need God to open some doors for you...send this on.
Have a blessed day and remember to be a blessing...

For a REASON!!!!
Today while looking around at all my group pages and chatting with other foodies I came across a cake ,, A crazy sounding one at that . It was called a watergate ,, lol yes you are saying right) anyway it calls for pistacios,almonds,and toasted coconut :) and its a basic white/yellow cake but it has a green frosting and all the other good stuff. I was looking at it and thinking and just like a light bulb I said to my self " that sounds like somthing my grandma would love " .. Then i went on browsing and thinking about it and other stuff , then i had just a feeling i guess you could say. Something telling my that i needed to call her. She lives 3.5 hours away. Sooo I called and we talked for a good 25 minutes laughing about this cake and it was soo funny that when I was thinking about her loving this cake Just like that the thought flashed in my brain that my daddy would have loved it too ,, right up his alley..(I know everything makes me think of my daddy but this was different.) Now back to my moment, So i am talking to her and I mention why I have called about this cake and why she is giggling as am I , I say " I thought that you might have made this and loved it , and I also thought it would be something that my dad would have loved" ,, at the same time she is saying while laughing uhh-uhh.. She then proceeds to tell me that he is why she made it and it was for that very reason along with something to do wiht Nixon (president)... ..
Now some people dont think i am right or that i am just plain crazy ,, but I often tell my self that god and my dad are telling me things lol ! Now i mean like ahh dad you must have put that in the air for me to think (since he always said my brain was full of air).. Or that God is sending me a sign and that being that every time i worrie about those big "WHAT IFs" and if he is still helping me ... Well I think he is !! I havent acutally called my grandma in months ...and today for some reason I was thinking about her more than usual and then that cake I came across and then it being me thinking about my dad and it being a cake that she made for him (one storie i have never been told)Just to many things fell into place on this for me to think that it just happend... I think that GOD !! as wonderfull as he is ,, is trying to ease a little of my wonderings , (must of smelt my gears burning ) hahahha It just makes it even more aware to me that he does ALL things for a reason and some day I will get it all !!! As i think of all this the song by Brad Paisley( when i get where i am going)makes me smile !!!!!!!
(O YA !!! I may have forgot to mention that my grandma is his MOM) untill next time ...... Real facts of life:)

Rudeness
I have a big problem when adults are rude. I dont understand why if someone has more than one kid or a kid at all that you should just assum that they are that persons??? And better yet i have a problem with people being racist, i am not saying that you cant ,but i honestly do you think you need to express that every single day every single minute every single second...? I was taught many lessons as i was growing up and i plan to pass them on to Sophia and even try to teach my Husband some .maybe...
1. Nothing nice to say dont say it
2. You do not act a fool in public ever!! .. i.e( school, in a store,,)
3. Disrespectfull in any way was not tolerated
4.Dont judge
5. last but not least
ALWAYS.. respect your elders ,they have been here a lot longer than you.
If there was someone comming out/in a door , you held it. Someone stranded on the side of the road you stopped. If you saw someone struggling with food to the car help load it even if you dont work there.. "My dad would ask me, Britt you know why I did that helped that person?", (he could tell by the look on my face that was a no)he would say" Beacuse one day that may be me wishing i had some help." I learned these things by mostly just seeing how caring and respecfull my father was. Some of the numbered i was told,, but others I just grew to have that sese of responiabilty as a growing human being. Now my dad was not a racist but he was , let me explain. My father had a problem with ALL colors, beacuse he said "there were two types to every race just like two parts to every storie". He then showed me the ones that care about life and what they ment and the ones that didnt . My dads best friends where hispanic,and black. Then again my dad never met a stranger either.. I to this day have a great respect for them . There are many things that they are blessed with that i wish i had... and I have a mixed-race family my niece is hispanic along with my sister in law , i have a brother in law that is African-American, and i have a sister in law ,well not anymore but.. i still love and care for her so my other sister in law is hispanic as well.AND non of this has ever bothered me one bit. I currently teach sophia how to speak spanish,english ,and sign. I think it will get her futher in life.. I was told everybody has overcome a battle in life some point in time no matter how small or how big, just like you so everyone deserved the right to be acknowledge politey. and then at the very end , God loves us all the same way we are all the same to him.
Now all this was brought to mind beacuse i watch a little boy that is African-American and on my way to the bank today with my child and him i was recieving the most hatefull glares and so on,, just beacuse some one figured ..better yet assumed that i was some young kid that wasnt raised right teenage mother that most likly didnt have job and had been knocked up and had been a "N" lover ...... AND I HATE IT !!!! even if i had been that would have been my choice, but that is not the point ,, the point is we are never going to get anywhere in this world like this.. Some wonder why all the young childeren act like fools,, my guess is there parents acted like that are dont care if they act that way... I am not saying that everyone should do everything the same but for gosh sakes can we at least teach some respect? or even a little manners is all i wonder??? I just dont get it... Life goes on ,, and sometimes the same wayy ...... :(...
Anyway that happend with about 5 cars that passed me,plus the teller at the bank.,, and as i am thinking to my self i turn on the radio and Sophia and I listen to 102. the bear most times(when daddy not in the car) and I had the window cracked getting some cool air,, And that is when it hit me... I started thinking about my dad one of our songs came on and then (those sense smell,heart all warm, you get when you having a great memory comes along like its like Dejvu,) I felt like a little girl in the pasanger seat thinking that this is the way life would be when i got older,,, life is great and then that is when i remember all the stuff i have already mentiond, I once again told my self that I knew sophia would learn all the same things, weather she wanted to care and use them would be up to her ,, after she moves out of my house. I am just thinkfull everyday that i was discaplined that way and that I care so much about it ,, Reminds me why I beilve the way I do ,, I like to think Maybe that maybe Iam changing the world one person at a time. Then again I am sort of closed minded in the way that I think it should be this way all the time..!!!! So for now this is it.. another will come promise ..until next time ....Life Goes On
p.s. If you are wondering Yes IAM the one that will pop my kid in the middle of the store if they are acting a fool, and if I need to I will walk right out of that store dragging my Child.. (did that last week) i knew how to do that beacuse my Mother taught me that one!!!!!!!!!! :)
1. Nothing nice to say dont say it
2. You do not act a fool in public ever!! .. i.e( school, in a store,,)
3. Disrespectfull in any way was not tolerated
4.Dont judge
5. last but not least
ALWAYS.. respect your elders ,they have been here a lot longer than you.
If there was someone comming out/in a door , you held it. Someone stranded on the side of the road you stopped. If you saw someone struggling with food to the car help load it even if you dont work there.. "My dad would ask me, Britt you know why I did that helped that person?", (he could tell by the look on my face that was a no)he would say" Beacuse one day that may be me wishing i had some help." I learned these things by mostly just seeing how caring and respecfull my father was. Some of the numbered i was told,, but others I just grew to have that sese of responiabilty as a growing human being. Now my dad was not a racist but he was , let me explain. My father had a problem with ALL colors, beacuse he said "there were two types to every race just like two parts to every storie". He then showed me the ones that care about life and what they ment and the ones that didnt . My dads best friends where hispanic,and black. Then again my dad never met a stranger either.. I to this day have a great respect for them . There are many things that they are blessed with that i wish i had... and I have a mixed-race family my niece is hispanic along with my sister in law , i have a brother in law that is African-American, and i have a sister in law ,well not anymore but.. i still love and care for her so my other sister in law is hispanic as well.AND non of this has ever bothered me one bit. I currently teach sophia how to speak spanish,english ,and sign. I think it will get her futher in life.. I was told everybody has overcome a battle in life some point in time no matter how small or how big, just like you so everyone deserved the right to be acknowledge politey. and then at the very end , God loves us all the same way we are all the same to him.
Now all this was brought to mind beacuse i watch a little boy that is African-American and on my way to the bank today with my child and him i was recieving the most hatefull glares and so on,, just beacuse some one figured ..better yet assumed that i was some young kid that wasnt raised right teenage mother that most likly didnt have job and had been knocked up and had been a "N" lover ...... AND I HATE IT !!!! even if i had been that would have been my choice, but that is not the point ,, the point is we are never going to get anywhere in this world like this.. Some wonder why all the young childeren act like fools,, my guess is there parents acted like that are dont care if they act that way... I am not saying that everyone should do everything the same but for gosh sakes can we at least teach some respect? or even a little manners is all i wonder??? I just dont get it... Life goes on ,, and sometimes the same wayy ...... :(...
