...really still happening!

Okay, Okay... so it's been 3 weeks(ish) since my post.  You saw the kitchen and the front room/dining room.  YES!  They're still looking like the pictures!  So, I have to share a two things that I really feel need to be shared in this process...    *1*   I have found in this process that I didn't realize how CRAZY my house drove me; sure because of the chaos - but underneath that feeling it was because I knew this wasn't normal and it could be better and I knew there were ways to take care of it, I just couldn't get that mental block to life and get moving forward with it.  Welp, mental block gone, moving forward now!     *2* There is something my mom has told me for years and years now, something that I've taken to heart and really worked to do.  "Get your own house in order first, and others will want to be a part of it."   Now, this comment came up usually in conversations about relationships and dating and all...

... hard stuff!

Alright, so I've never been one to buy into the idea that life is easy, but I never thought things could be as difficult as they are sometimes!  Sure, there are always going to be things that come up that are crazy difficult... but I'm talking about things that I knew would come, but never could have imagined how hard they were going to be!  I'm talking about my kids.  I knew parenting would be hard, and I'll admit, there are pieces that were easier than I thought and pieces that have been harder, but all in all it's been about as difficult as I imagined it would be.  This past week was a great example of things being harder than I ever thought they'd be.  Sierra has a new friend down the street, very sweet girl.  This girl is an only child and is Sierra's age which translates into she and Sierra are instant best friends.  I think it's great, all kids should have friends and I was glad to see she was making friends on our block. So Sierra goes...

...where it starts

So, bear with me, I've never blogged before!  It's been on my mind to start one for awhile now, and I've had a few people tell me I should start one, with all the things I tell them about life, so now I am!  Whether you desire to read what I have to write or not is your choice, it won't hurt my feelings :-).  I don't know yet what this blog will be about.  It's just me.  Plain and simple, life as I see it and live it.  Sometimes my life is quiet and boring, which is okay, because sometimes it's beautifully chaotic and upside down.  Either way, it's life, and I love it. Here is a little about me for those of you who don't know.  I am a single mom of two beautiful children.  I'd say they're the most amazing children on the face of this earth, but I feel I'm a little biased in that opinion seeing as how I am their mommy!  Either way, I love them like crazy and they are the world to me.  I have two amazing parents whom I love dearly a...
