Remember the days when we were young, and we could not wait to get our drivers permit, then the license to drive a car, the next one was 18 and even though I did not smoke I bought those cigarettes, ahhhhh then 21! I remember hardly any of my 21st birthday, other than the sickness I felt for DAYS and DAYS later, I was told we all had a blast and there are pictures to prove the day happened...Ahh memories. Then 25 years old was exciting(At least for me!) because car insurance lowers when you hit that age-and it did lower quite a bit...Now here I am 33, realizing I spent 29, 30, and 31 all pregnant..32 was recovering and learning to be a single mama, finally here I am at 33. Do I look old? No, I have been told I look like a kid when in jeans and a t-shirt, I am starting to notice tiny crow's feet around my eyes but I like to think I got those from smiling too much! My body is one of a woman who carried 3 beautiful kids, nursed them, and I have earned every mark or imperfection! This last year and a half has taught me so much, to have faith in yourself, to love yourself, and to have faith...Keep that faith and trust that God's plan is the plan to follow. It may not always mimic my own planning or timing mind you, and YES I love to control pretty much every thing..Schedules, planning ahead, keeping things in working order-Yes that is me! So here I am in 2013, and things are still working themselves out here in Florida. The job market is a very tough area right now honestly and I have gone on so many interviews I lost count but I will continue the search, continue to be positive, and know that I will find a job when I am meant to, and a job that fits. I am thankful for the time I have had with the kids, I have learned a lot about parenting skills, and how each of them is so different, needs to be treated differently as each personality is different and to remember patience...I am loving the beach, I am feeling confident enough to wear a two piece swim suit-I have been working hard on getting toned, in shape and the kids keep me darn busy! I cannot wait for the water to warm up a little more and then we can swim and play! I also really want to try paddle-boarding which looks so fun! The locals here are all so nice and inviting. I feel at home a little more each day and for that I am blessed. My church home has become just that, HOME and it just gets better and better, tomorrow is my first day as a church greeter and I am thrilled, I hope to make people feel at home in my new home, my trio loves it and I have met some amazing women, that have become very good friends I can talk to and confide in...This is my place, and I know God has plans for the kids and I-so excited!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aging to some can be tough, I would be lying if I said that at times I find myself wishing I could turn that clock back to a time when I had no worries, and no fears-But then I realize that moving forward is vital, try not to look back and remember not to burn those bridges because there might be a time when a person or need comes up in your life and you may need to rely on some people new and old. I have reconnected with so many old military friends, co-workers recently and networking I hope will help in my getting a great job with the Department of Defense again. I have a sensitive skin, I can take professional feedback well, I can give it well, but when those I love hurt my feelings it is hard for me to bounce back as quick. That is something I have dedicated myself to working on, I believe that to be tougher with a thicker skin will do me well, I just need to work to get there!

The rest of my week was uneventful and pretty darn lazy if I do say so myself! The weather was rainy and dreary and so to entertain the kids inside the house was fun but each day is a new day to make a difference! Today I got out in my back yard and front yard and pulled weeds, watered, fertilized, and paid some love to my flowers and plants. It felt good for all of us to be outdoors and enjoying the sun on our faces, and next week it is supposed to be warm again so that means some beach time again and I cannot wait! I took some pictures of my babies and some of the yard with the new camera as I am still attempting to figure it out-with time I hope to get better and better with it! I will attach those pictures so you can enjoy as well, I will close as I have laundry screaming my name, kids that need a bath and I plan to hit the bed early because I am worn out! May you all be blessed and have a wonderful Sunday----I will make sure to post how my first sunday was as a church greeter! XOXO
