A Horrible, Terrible, No Good, VERY Bad Day

Today was a horrible, terrible, no good, VERY bad day.

It was one of the days where I felt like I could not wake up and go to my job any longer.

But then I took a step back, and looked at the big picture:

~I have an amazing husband.  He supports me in all that I do and the decisions that I make.  He tells me all the time how beautiful I am.  No, he does not understand what I go through at my job, but he does try and make me smile when I've had a bad day.

My little Owen ba-bowen is so cute and fun to come home to.  He lights up my world!  He is always ready to give me a big, fat kiss and I love reading to him and seeing the intense interest in his face. My favorite little buddy!

My little baby girl, Riley, always knows when I've had a bad day.  She comes and puts her head on my lap while I'm on the couch, just to let me know that she's here for me.  Golden's are the best.

Next time you are having a bad day, I encourage you to take a step back and think of the things that ARE going good in your life. 

Joyful Changes

WOW!

So, alot has changed since I last updated this little corner of cyper-space!

One thing, one major thing, I had a baby!  Yes! My husband and I had a baby boy and he is the most adorable, precious, sweetest, silly thing on this planet! I would be lying if I didn't say that I think he is truly the cutest baby ever!  (But, don't all mommas say that?) 

How can you argue with me? Is he not the cutest baby ever?  Mr. O!

I am a working mother and have a full-time job.  The reason I say this is because ALL mothers, no matter if you are a stay-at-home mom or working outside the house, are "working" moms.  I am a teacher-mom to special education students during the day and then I come home and work at being this boy's mother.  At times, I wish I could stay at home with him, but then there are times I am grateful to be doing something outside of the house.

Right now, I have a job.  I make extra money.  I provide valuable insurance for my family.  That's how I see it.

Yes, teaching is just a "job" to me.  I am no longer sure that I want it to be a "career."  ...But that's a whole 'nother post!

Enjoy the cutest baby pictures EVER!
