the little things....

Ok so I'm not the best speller in the world and I really don't think I make any sense most of the time so just bare with me:) I think this whole blog thing can be helpful to me in some ways. I'm on a mission to get to know myself. Maybe writing things down every day or even a few times a week can help. Kinda like keeping a journal (just hope I can keep up with it). Ok so on to other reasons why I should blog.....lets see...my step mom ( Erin) always told me I should write down the little things my kids say or do....my son Thomas is 8 years old and I STILL have never written down anything he says or does....call me a bad mom, but I'm just lazy. Ok that's bad....No more being lazy! Its time to cherish the gifts God has blessed me with. I want to remember the little things my kids do and the funny things they say. Erin used to have a little book full of funny little comments she wrote down from when my siblings and I were little. I remember one thing she read to me not too long ago. It was a comment I made to her when I was about 15 years old. At the time my little brother and sister ( Corbin, and DeAnna) were about 4 and 5 years old. I was sooooooo sick of being the older sister. They always wanted to be in my business. Whats Raydean doing today and how can we annoy her. Anywho I decided to complain about kids! Yep, I came up to Erin that day and said to her " I AM NEVER HAVING KIDS"! Well she laughed at me, pulled out the book, wrote down my little comment and to this day she teases me about it! I'm so happy to have had a mother who knew she would look back on those little comments. She knew they would bring back precious memories of the time when her children were truly innocent.
