Heroes...They're everywhere. They try their best to hide, but their actions give them away. And it's not the guy saving a woman from an armed bandit dressed in a black and white stripped shirt that makes a hero, no. (Granted that is a hero, but that's not what I'm talking about) It's the person who never fails to have kind, encouraging words, the shoulder to cry on when things are all wrong, the hand that leads you through the dark. This is the type of hero I'm talking about.

Everyone has a hero. You may not think so, but if you really think about it you do. They are the people who stand behind you, not in front blocking your way (unless it's during a food fight) They never complain about not being thanked, they support, love, cherish, honor, protect, listen, understand what you're going through and are always there to push you when you're so close to giveing up. More importantly, they remember how to forgive you when you forget to remind them of the fact they are so very important to you.

I have a hero. I married him. My husband is my hero and he does all of these things and more. When everyone else told me my dreams weren't possible, he said "Go for it, you can do it". When the world was giving me a hard time, he made me believe that I could overcome anything that got thrown at me. He has helped me throught the toughest things in my life, and his step has never faltered. Even the things that I couldn't face, he helped me open my eyes and see it through. He's the voice that whispers to me when I can't seem to find my way in the right direction. He is my personal cheering section, my confidant, and best friend...and my hero.

So today everyone I urge you to find your hero and thank them. I think too many times the everyday heroes get forgotten. They work so hard to be there for us, and how often do we really show them how much they mean to us? Not often enough sometimes.

And to MY hero....Thanks for always being there for me when I needed you most. You are the BEST! I LOVE YOU!!!!

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Okay, I joined the Egg Hop today (If you missed it...omg am i sad for you! LOTS of yummy candy to be had...)and visited a whole lot of beautiful, creative blogs, and I'll tell you something...it left me a little embarrassed of mine. SO I talked over my issue with my wonderful CP and she just happened to have the perfect answer....just as she ALWAYS does! And this is what we came up with.
I wanted to be able to at least try and hang with all the many, MANY talented people I visited today. Just in case they decided to drop by I wanted to make sure the place was presentable. So this is the lovely upgrade. Hope you all like it as much as I do...
OH and by the way...the pic is just something I thought was cute...I love cats. *wink* just in case you guys couldn't tell.
SO I hope you all have a wonderful evening! Sweet dreams!

Whether you believe in Christ or not Easter is a day of beginnings and renewal. It's a day when the whole world should remember great sacrifice in the face of adversity. One man had the strength and love to sacrifice everything for the people he loved, even though they didn't love him back. Sadly, that fact gets lost amongst the rabbits and candy.
I'll sit with my family and watch all the Easter shows today, have a little lunch (no eggs though), you know basically spend the day laying about doing nothing. I hope you all the same type of relaxing day.
And don't forget: Remember the sacrifice that was made for all of us, appreciate the fact that you can look forward to something better once this whole crazy ride is through. May God bless and keep you all on this wonderful day.
Have a safe one! Until tomorrow everyone.

Today is my middle son, Matthew's 10th birthday. We celebrated with the usual. Cake, ice cream, fattening homemade dinner and of course presents. It always amazes me how quickly a kid can tear open a half hours worth of work wrapping. But that's the joy of being 10 I guess.

We had the very first Ice cream cake in our house this evening. Not bad to be honest.

You know it's crazy how time flies. I can still remember when he was a newborn, and I brought him home from the hospital. I kept thinking, they're letting me bring him home? I don't know a thing about being a mom. But my mother gave me some advice that day that has stuck with me everyday since. It'll come to you. Granted at the time it was really bad advice, I was terrified of hurting my baby. And when I say hurting I mean, not changing him fast enough, not getting his bottle fast enough, not holding him enough ect. You know all the everyday things that a new mom freaks out about. I went so far as trying to be a super mom. Staying up and clean the house from top to bottom while he slept (getting his days and nights mixed up) staying up with him at night while he wanted to play. Funny thing was I honestly thought that was the best thing. And then reality set in. I realized that I didn't have to be super mom and mother was right....it did come to me. After a few days I figured things out, learned to cope most of all I learned to sleep when he did. Never mind I figured out how to keep him awake all day (thus switching day and night back to where they belong) which meant he slept all night.

I guess what has me taking a trip down memory lane is the simple fact that my baby is 10. It's like, for some strange reason, a huge step forward. Is it the fact he's in double digits now? Is it the fact he's reaching pre-teen years? What is it that is so bittersweet about the 10th birthday for a mom? Perhaps it's the fact that when you look back the time has flown, and you're reminded that in 8 very, very short years they will move on with their lives. Perhaps go to college, find a wife and have a family of their own. And when you look back and see how quickly 10 years went you realize that 8 isn't that long at all. And you're faced with the realization that the next 8 will pass so much quicker. I'm not sure. All I know is this is a special birthday...almost as special as the 1st, in a way. It's the first of many double numbers, the first of the pre-teen years and one of the last few when you can give them a card with cartoon characters and they still like it.

I suppose I'm lamenting the past...wishing i could go back and experience all those years again. His first cry, tooth, smile, laugh, the first time he sat up, said mommy (or ma ma) his first step, first day of school....all those wonderful memories that are crammed into a baby book with all the pages filled in. I know all of you mothers out there can relate.

So...I'll leave you all with this thought. Cherish those precious years because much like a snowball rolling down hill they just get faster as they go along. And before you know it they're out of your control and all you can do is watch as they roll away all on their own.

Have a wonderful evening, everyone. I'm going to raid the freezer for more ice cream cake.

OMG! Wild 50foot tall bunnies have taken over the US!
April Fools!

As you can see today is the day when the world can lie and no one can say a word. Never mind all the pranks people pull. My husband gets me every year. I spend the entire day walking around just waiting for his calamity to emerge. Me, myself, i just like to tease my boys....and my mother in law. But the ones who really get into it are my boys. They seem to enjoy playing pranks on anyone gullible to fall for them. Which is most everyone. Except me because i never believe anything i hear on April 1st.

But there are times when a person is telling the truth but no one believes them because it's April's fool day.

This actually happened to me the year I had my son. See, my middle boy's 10th birthday is tomorrow. I was actually in labor on April 1st, but not a single person believed me, they all thought it was a silly joke. Needless to say when the ball got rolling, they had no doubt that I was SO not kidding.

So, I guess a person could say that April 1st can also be considered a day to see how far you can go. If you can see through with something, know what I mean? If a person, plans a prank and goes through with it and it's a success, then it proves they having some positive staying power....if they lose their nerve...well, they'll have until the following year to figure out how to correct the issue.

So i guess what I'm trying to say is this....don't take anything you hear seriously today....Rather take it with a grain of salt.

Have a wonderful day everyone!
