Happy birthday Luke!

I can't believe my baby is four. It seems like just yesterday I was struggling with labor and praying for a miracle.  And then a few hours later he was born emergency c-section. My first realization as a mom that you don't always get what you pray for, but you get what you need.  I didn't get my natural birth, but I got my healthy baby:). It has been the hardest four years of my life but the best. I love you Luke!

Spring Break

Well just last week I was frustrated and upset with my impatient self. Now I feel resfreshed and ready to start this short week.  Luke and I had a great week, we found our groove and were busy and happy.  I can't wait for summer :)

Good mama

Oh where is she? I just have absolutely no patience left for my own child.  I have it in my head that Easter is over because I already did those crafts at school.  Boy I think spring break came just in time.    I need to find me again.  And bond with my little man.  I has been a hard couple of months.

I pad

I ordered us an I Pad!!!  I am so excited.  Luke came home today and asked for one.  Yes I know, spoiled. But I have been thinking about it for a while.  On credit of course...That's our life!!

huge weight off of my shoulders

In one day I did my formal observation and student led conferences. I am done, done, done.  Just the results now.  yuck, but done.

I don't know how to help my boys with the loss of Nana Cooper. My husband is so sad and my little one is so angry.  I just don't know.

illness, aging, and missing daddy

Another week of Luke feeling yucky: stuffy nose, wheezy.  Not too bad so far, I hope that it doesn't get any worse.  I am trying my best to hold it at bay.

Aging or illness?  I pray, pray that Luann is dealing with illness that is curable and this is yet another hurdle for her to get over with prayers and love.  I don't know what Aaron will do if anything else happens.  He is becoming more and more crushed everyday.

With daddy gone taking care of nana in the hospital Luke really is missing his daddy :(  Me too.  It just doesn't feel right here without him.
