AJ stays the night with his grandparents every Friday night & Friday nights are me & the hubby's date night...I am feeling some better..not sure what we will get into tonight..hopefully go grab a bite to eat somewhere get outta this house b4 I go stir crazy..I haven't left this house since Tuesday.All I have done is watch TV & movies,eaten soup,popsicles & drank tea out the wazoo! I brought Tiger inside & held her..been blogging & doing Facebook to pass away the time.Today I actually felt like going around the house picking up & straightening & putting things that were out of place back where they go.I just put some eggrolls in the oven to bake & am planning to dip them in duck sauce..soo yummy! AJ's friend,JD has invited him to a Halloween party Saturday evening..& then we plan to go see my nephew in Anderson,SC...:) Sunday is church it will be great to just be able to get out of this house...I def have cabin fever don't get me wrong I'm a home body but just to know I can't get out & go anywhere drives me bonkers! LOL! Hope u all have a blast this weekend! Love & Prayersr!

The Future Is Coming!!

Me in our pool..:)

Our House



My SUV-(Isuzu Rodeo)

 When I was 13 I wrote a paper in my writing class that went something like this:Ten years from now I will go to college majoring in Nursing.I will try to find cures for diabetes,cancer & heart disease.With the money I will make I will buy a fancy car & have a chauffeur.I will live in a big mansion that has a huge pool.Hmmm..taking life as it is is hard sometimes.Because it is never how we see it at age 13.After all that dreaming of being a nurse I'm a stay at home mom & I'm married.I have a good life.I don't live in a mansion but I do live in a nice house & we do have a pool.I don't drive a fancy car but I do drive a SUV.I have not been the perfect parent or the perfect wife but my son loves me & I've been married to the same man for 11 yrs.I think all that God asks us to do is too accept where we are at this moment,on this day,at this time & at this place.So I take my life as it is & I'm very grateful.

New Baby In The House

 

AJ with his worm,Harry..:)



AJ on Mystery Mine rollar coaster @ Dollywood w/ his friend,Hunter.:)



AJ is 9 now..he loves to ride his scooter..:)

I had my first baby in 2002..Alan James "AJ" Cain.I was a new mom & scared to death.He was due July 1,2002 but God had other plans.I went to the Dr for a checkup on June 11th & because my blood pressure was thru the roof & I was soo swollen he did bloodwork & discovered I had "Toxemia".I wondered why I waddled like a duck & had cartoon feet.I didn't have AJ's baby nursery finished yet but he admitted me to Athens Regional & did a C-Section..well @ 6:11pm on 6/11/2002 I met the second man of my dreams..the lil guy who for 9 months had been kicking my ribs so hard I thought he was training for the NFL.Well ready or not he was here weighing in @ 7lbs.1oz.20 inches long.I stayed in the hospital 2 days & then was discharged to go home.We stayed at my parents house the next few days.The first night AJ was a toy..we played with him until bedtime then put him a cute lil onesie on him & put him in his basinet & we all settled down for a long summers nap.At 2am that cuddly lil baby went off like a smoke alarm & all 4 of us-me,my hubby,my mom & my dad collided in the hallway,looking for the nearest exit..lol!! Now that cuddly lil baby is not a baby anymore..time passes by soo fast..AJ is now 9 yrs old & in 3rd grade.He is involved in sports & I must say he is a natural.He may be a lil boy now but he will always be my baby..:) Always cherish your lil ones & enjoy the time when they are little because in the blink of an eye they are grown & then they are gone off to start families of their own.Love & Prayers..:)



My lil Pooh bear,AJ









Habits Worth Forming..

Along life's journey I've picked up some habits that are def worth forming..Lord knows I have enough bad habits..check these out..

1.Flossing-this is hard for me..I hate flossing but not just that.. it is time consuming but it is worth your time..flossing gets food that gets stuck between your teeth out which can cause cavities & bad breath..sometimes brushing alone can't get the food out.

2.Going to the gym on a regular schedule.

3.Scheduling your next teeth cleaning,pap smear & mammogram as soon as you complete your last one.
4.Cleaning the kitchen counters before you go to bed.
5.Making up before u go to sleep..it's in the Bible that u shouldn't let your sun go down on your anger.
6.Eat only one cookie that's a toughie for me too..I have to really find my willpower on this one..
7.Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
8.Say thank you more.
9.Write all your dates on one calendar.

10.Last but not least have a blessed day & don't forget to smile..u never know who may be falling in love with your smile..:)
