The Lord has really been working with us lately , in 07 we fought to keep "our" house , do to forcloser , and it has been extremely stressful , and i am the one who takes care of the money , so i carry the load , Corey really or i thought ,didnt care that much about it , as long as stuff was paid , so anyway , it has been layed on my heart to talk to him the other night , and i have put it off , untill a couple of nights ago , we were lying in bed , and it came out about letting the house go ,i asked how he felt about it , and he said , it felt like a burden was just lifted. What a sigh of relief for me ,. So , i called and talk to the lawyer , and as of 2:00 yesterday , the house is no longer ours , we gave it back to the bank , and you know i got in the car and i almost cryed ,and God spoke to me and said , it was never yours to begin with i let you borrow it for a short time , and i want you to move on , , I love how God refreshes us , Nothing we have here on earth is ours , we came with nothing and we will leave with nothing ... I love that..
So we will get a complete fresh start no bills , no mortgage, Debt free. Just what God itended .. Praise God !

I havent wrote anything lately cause i really dont lead an exciting life that any body cares to read about , , But i do have a little welll i guess alot of excitement , Tristin asked JESUS to be in his heart , i dont know if i have ever mentioned Lyric had done it also awhile back, Its really really nice you know you are going to see your kiddos in heaven with you some day .

And Lyric also went and saw her first ballet , it was the story of cinderalla , there are not words to describe how much she loved it , as soon as i am able, i am going to put her in a ballet class , i think she would enjoy that alot , but here are a few pics of her , on that evening.

2008-12-17T06:23:00.000-08:00

I have to say this is my favorite time of year , the heart of people during this time of year is so tender , it blows my mind why does it only have to be this time of year to be so thoughtful or thankful

Love

LOVE

Nine wonderful years , of being with the man i love , you know of course we have had our ups and downs , but every one does that's what makes you love even stronger , For better or for worse , through having five children and losing loved ones and moving here and there , Corey is my life partner ,my lover , my rock , my best friend , thank you baby for loving me , putting up with me , for always being there when i needed you . I cannot wait to spend the evening alone with you that doesn't happen enough for us , that is my promise this year to make more us time . Baby i am amazed by you ! , Next year on our tenth , i wait patiently to walk down the isle and say i do , to you ,, alright may not so patiently , and it probably wont be a walk more like a sprint ,lol , I love just staring into your eyes , wondering what our next ten years will hold for us . Life holds so much .....

Our God is amazing in the way He works, Who would of thunk it, when we met at walmart we would be married and have soooooooooo many children together and still have the same fresh but stronger renewed love everyday for each other , I knew you were the one for me ! Happy anniversary Honey , I love you more each passing moment. , Love your muse

Hey guys , i was reading and i came across this poem and i wanted to share it with you because it touched me , here you go :)

Only One Childhood

I stopped to watch my little girl
Busy playing in her room.

In one hand was a plastic phone ;
In the other a toy broom.

I listened as she was speaking
To her make-believe little friend
And I'll never forget the words she said,
Even though it was pretend.

She said,"Suzie's in the corner
Cuz she's not been very good.
She didn't listen to a word i said
Or do the things she should."

In the corner i saw her baby doll
All dressed in lace and pink.
It was obvious she'd been put there
To sit alone and think.

My daughter continued her "conversation".
As I sat down on the floor ,
She said , "I'm all fed up, I just don't know
What to do with her anymore."

"She whines whenever i have to work
And wants to play games , too;
And never lets me do the things
That I just have to do.

'' She tries to help me with the dishes,
But her arms just cannot reach
And she doesn't know how to fold the towels
And i don't have time to teach.

''I have a lot of work to do
And a big house to keep clean.
I don't have time to sit and play-
Don't you know what I mean?''

And that day I thought a lot about
Making some changes in my life;
As I listened to her innocent words
That cut me like a knife,

I hadn't been paying enough attention
To what I hold most dear.
I'd been caught up in responsibilities
That increased throughout the year.

But now my attitude has changed
Because , in my heart, I realize
I've seen the world in a different light
Through my little darling's eyes.

So , let the cobwebs have the corners
And the dust bunnies rule the floor,
I'm not going to worry about
Keeping up with them anymore.

I'm going to fill the house with memories
Of a child and her mother
For God grants us only ONE childhood,
And we will never get another.

Goodmorning , well i have been working like crazy since friday and have to go back to work tonight . I did have yesterday off which was nice since corey has mondays off , so spending time with him was really nice but he his feeling under the weather i think he is getting what i had there for two weeks , it wasnt good , there is a nasty little bug going around . Keep corey in your prayers.
Did not get much accomplished yesterday , just took care of all my babies :)
But any way , i have so much i need to do today , i cant believe i am sitting here doing this , a moms and wifes list never end , but love every min of it !

Update on Brooklyn , she is learning new words everyday , it is so exciting to watch .
Update on Lily Ann , i cant keep up with her every since she found out she can walk every where .
Update on Logan , he is my dramitic child , not in a bad way , his faciel expressions ,just his character is fun to be around .
Update on Lyric , she came home all excited yesterday because she won a contest and she got to pick out a brand new book to bring home they are having the book fair at school , well i asked her what she had to do to win the contest , she said she had to color , go figure , no wonder she won , this child is an awesome colorier , she was coloring better than me when she was in kindergarden , needless to say i am proud of her .
Update on Tristin, this child will be the death of me here lately , every parent has one and this one is mine , but on a good note , his teacher told me yesterday that he is the role model in there class because he is always prepared and he is not one to get up and run around the class room and just be loud , so that was good to hear i know he can be a very good boy when he puts his mind to it .

Well i am very blessed to have these children in my life , i could not asked for anything more , i love being a mother :) and i am very proud of all my babies , there all have there own specail gifts and personality , and i love then all ,very deeply . well i think i will leave on that note , hope you all have blessed day :)

They were so excited this morning they had there fall parties at school today . And then i changed a couple of diapers , and got the babies there breakfast and watched a couple of toons on PBS , that is still a pretty good channel for kids , they still teach things ! Good things ! well anyway off that box , i had a rough night last night at work , please pray with me that some thing else will come about for a job.

Before i could blog this morning , i had to put my keys back on my keyboard , because the dog tried to get on my lap last night and did not make it and took some of the keys off my keyboard but thank goodness it was fixable . I think we are going to go visit a church that Corey was invited to a fall thing for the kids tonight , from a guy he works with , so that will be fun , lots of candy , just what my children need ,not , but hey why not , ! i think that is it for now , may be more later , hope you have ,HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!:)
