They fill my bucket....

One thing that I know in life is that my kids fill my bucket. I am so crazy about them.

I am having a difficult time adjusting to this new schedule of mine being a night owl... working graves. I am not getting too much sleep. I will get that under control, but I will not let this get in the way of my relationship with my kiddos.

Today I spent the day with Carlie. Her preschool is closed this week as her teacher went on a cruise to Alaska. I got home at 7a... she was still sleeping. I went to catch some winks. She woke me up at 8:30 for me to help her get breakfast. We spent the day together and it was a good day. She is so very sweet and caring. I love to see that in her.

Taylor was able to come home for the 4th where we celebrated with the block party that is held every year. It is good for him to see those that support him... and care for him. He had a great time. It is good to see him smile... it is good to see his eyes dance now and again.

Sis is getting this rounder than life tummy with Miss Bella Jo. I love it. Just like a little basketball. I was able to spend time with her on Sunday as well as she and Spencer came to the block party as well. She declared the the food other than mine all tasted like sawdust. Gotta love my kiddos....

I just get tired and down. I have had a lot of adjustments with friendships lately and I am learning the difficult way. Trusting isn't always the best thing... but I am taking care of myself and that is good. What I do know... is that no matter what... my kiddos fill my bucket. They make me smile... they make me laugh... they make me cry... and I know my purpose in life is to be their mom. I love them with all my heart. They are such great kids...

I am surely blessed... no matter what...
