Today is my older brothers b-day, it's strange to think that he is 31 today. Which makes me feel older cause I'll be...well that's not important. What is, is the fact that I am grateful that I still have my brother and that we are getting close again. I've missed him.
Sometimes it takes someone going away to appericate that they are in your life. I feel this way about my bro. He was never really gone but at times it felt that way. So like everyone else, he is starting a new chapter of his life. I of course wish him the best birthday ever and just continue to remember that I am younger them him so I will always be little. Haha.
Next up on the report list of today, my grandfather. I would like to thank you to everyone who has offered prayers, it was a long battle and thankfully this was one that he was able to win. He is home resting and waiting to take charge of everything once again. Also on the grandparent front, tomorrow will be one year since my husbands grandfather passed away. It has been a hard year on the hubby and his family, I still don't think he has come to terms with the loss of his grandfather. it happened so quickly no one was really able to deal with it in the maner they probably wanted to.
I hate that he has to continue to go through this and I hope that with time it will get better for him.But only time will allow the wound to heel. Later days

Rainy Days

It's raining, again.
I'm so sick of the rain, I mean it seems like that is all it does now a days. The little one says it's gods way of washing a way the bad. Man there must really be a lot of bad. I'm just so sick of the rain. It almost seems like I live in a swamp. Well that's how the yard looks. The little one is doing better, she has stopped fighting as much to brush her teeth. I just wish the rain would go away so that she could play outside. She loves to play out side. It's hard to believe that she will be five soon. I cant wait.
Though it is raining good news for the day. My grandfather is coming home. He has been in the hospital for the past few weeks, he has been fighting CHF for a while along with being a diabetic. I can tell you it is hard. Sometimes, just like the rain, being a diabetic is hard to take. You just wish it would stop every so often. It's hard to handle sometimes.

Life Sucks

Sometimes things don't go the way they need to. It's a simple idea that many over planners negelect to acknowlege. I personally am not an overplanner, I would rather plan something and then see how close I can get to the actual outcome. It's hard when you realize that everything you had planned out and decided, is so not what happened. So what do you do when this happens? Do you concern yourself with those around you? Do you just take off until you are able to come up with a better plan?
Two words people Life sucks. People let's face it nothing ever goes the way you plan it. Nothing ever comes out right, but it does come out the way it is intended. I'm a big believer of "everything happens for a reason". Life is rarely what we thought or what we want but it is life and we must make the best of it.
Hmm something to think about

Random

It's madness I tell you pure madness. Everyone should know that I am a writer, but right now I have a bit of writers block. Ugh... The little one is feeling better today, you can tell because she is startting to be like her old self.
I write under the name Nicole Lee, I love writing and I've been told that my books are awesome. (which makes me feel really good) but right now I've got serious writers block when it comes to my third book in the series that I am curently working on. It's hard to keep up the brain mojo when you feel like your head is going to explode. I want to write all the time but I start writing about other stuff. So what do I do? I put the mini down and read a book.
Whats even better is that I'v had a lady come into my place of business and she seriously asked if I go home and curl up with a good movie. (I work in a video store) I just laughed and said "nope I like to come home and read a good book.
See this is what I mean, I am totally bouncing around in my heaad.

A Big Day for the Kid

Ok let me first start off by saying that this small little family in no way, shape or form, does morinings. Sure the hubby gets up early to go to work but that doesn't mean that we are morning people. So when I say that getting up at 6:40 in the am is early, I really mean it. I didn't sleep to much last night because I was worried over how today would go. See the little one had to have a tooth removed and some fillings and caps put in place. Surprisingly she did pretty good, despite the fact that she fought the Dr. at first. They had just called us back to reschedule because she was not taking to the meds so well when the lady went and checked on her and came back to tell us they were going to proceed because she had finally fallen asleep. Yep thats my kid, folks. I guess I should have told them that she fights sleep tooth and nail even when she doesn't have medicine in her system.
But now she has her very first tooth for the tooth fairy. (enter excitment.) So her day consisted of falling asleep while walking, and being carried. Then she woke up to eat a bite or two and went back to sleep. My sweet little girl is so not a quite child, so again today has just been a strange day that been both comfortable and yet annoying. I'm used to the noise and so forth. I guess I could have went to work, but the little one won't let me out of her sight for very long. She just gets cranky. So that is what today has been like. Boring I know but when your a mom, sometimes the most boring days turn into the most tiredsome.
Later days
