Learning From Gabriel ...

I had rough morning with Gabriel. I let my 6yo get the better of me. I know he isn't a morning person, and neither am I. I went out of the routine this morning and let him watch cartoons BEFORE he was ready to go. (at the time it seemed like a good idea, don't judge). Time caught up to us and then it was a mad dash to get everything ready only to realize we were ahead of schedule. That just made me more upset ... that I was upset and I had no real reason to be. UGH. I left without hugging and kissing him goodbye.

I made it to the highway before God told me I should call him and wish him a happy day. I called, apologized for fussing at him and I hoped he would have a great day. What he said next has been on my mind alllll morning. He said "We had a rough morning because you forgot to come into my room and pray with me last night. You have to remember to pray with me. When you pray with me, I have a good day the next day."
I don't take Gabriel to church ... I don't even go to church. He didn't know who God or Jesus was until recently. I've had too much going on in my life that I didn't sit down and teach my baby about God and Jesus.

I came back from my It Works conference in January and I've been praying ... praying a lot. For guidance, for strength, for support and for happiness. One night I walked into Gaby's room and I told him that I was going to show him how to pray. And we prayed ... and now, when I make it home before he goes to bed, we pray. And it gives him comfort. He doesn't understand it quite yet ... but I like this path I'm on. And I like the fact that my little man has Faith in Him.

I have an addiction ...

Yes ... I'm no longer in denial. I have an addiction. VH1 has this little mini series that started with Flavor Flav ... some of you might know who he is, some of you won't. I won't go into details, if you want to know ... google his name. Anyway ... this man was looking for love. So VH1 gave him his own show where he could have 15 - 20 women compete for his love. Every week, he would eliminate one person. Here is where it get's a little confusing so try to follow along. I didn't really watch this one, I'm not a huge fan of Flavor Flav. From this show, New York (he named all of the women different names based on personality or character) was in the bottom two and lost. She got her own show ... "I Love New York" ... where she got to go thru 15 - 20 men while they competed for her love. THEN ... they figured why not a rock star... so they got Brett Michales from Poison to do his own show ... ready for this ... "Rock of Love." Now between ...

Day 1

10 facts about yourself. .. I am on my iPad so if you see typos then just pretend they are spelled correctly. Move on!!!! 1. I am beginning to turn into a geek. I will explain... I was never a gadget geek until I met my husband. For our anniversary he purchased an iPad for me. For Valentines day he purchased a docking station for my iPad. Every year the presents get cooler and cooler ... But I am forgetting what diamonds look like... (hint hint) 2. I just became a Party Gal. Oh yes... This chic does those parties. They are the most fun and you can't beat having a good time with friends while earning free stuff ... Free naughty stuff!!!! Woot woot. 3. I am addicted to Twilight. Don't judge me, it wasn't my fault ... Well, not really. If you say you don't like it or you think it is stupid then you are missing the bigger picture. I don't have time to go into it, but if you hate it then you are stoooooopid!!! 4. I married a white guy. I know I know ... A really white gu...

Day 2

Day 02 – A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest There are so many people that I could have put in this blog ... you fall in and out of friendships so easily. You fight and fuss with your siblings all the time. So the person that I am picking for this would my my mama bear!!! I really don't give a shit what you think or what you say. I'm not trying to win any brownie points. It isn't like she pays my bills or anything (that is what I married a white guy for!!!) My mother is my friend, my life line, the reason for my existence (sorry dad, but your part was easy!!!), She thinks I'm the funniest person to walk the face of this earth! She loves me and all of my flaws (she has to because they are all probably her fault, she is the one who made me!). She dances her ass off ... so I want to be like my mom. She has a beautiful smile. She was a Drill Instructer for the USMC. (My mom can beat up your mom ... maybe ... or she might send me in...
