Christmas time is here again........

I love this song! Merry Christmas to everyone out there!

My daily routine.

Everyday is the same, even weekends, some days are a smidgen different, but generally the same.
Every morning I wake up at 7am, sometimes mom already has Dylan up and is feeding him sometimes not. I get in the shower, I get out, get dressed, fix my hair, if I'm lucky I can grab a bite to eat, most the time not. Put my coat on, and Dylan's coat on, get us in the car, go to daycare drop him off, take the bottles out of his bag and put them in the fridge, kiss him about a million times, and leave and head to work. Get to work, if I'm lucky I have 3 minuets to put make-up on, if not then I dust it on at work. I work all day, counting pill, checking in my orders, making sure the machine is running, billing DME, answering the phone, assisting customers when needed, sometimes I take a break, but only when I have time. I leave and go to pick up Dylan from day care, by 5:30pm. I pick him up, put his coat on, get him in the car, and go to my next destination, depending on my day it will be home, church, the store, ect. I'm ok with life its fine, I just wish I would wake up earlier lol. Its fun, I love being a mom, everyday when we get to the daycare, dylan hugs me and hides his face in the crook of my neck, then he picks his head up and thats my signal he is ready to go inside. He is starting to talk too, he sings in th car, and says caca, lol, and good job lol. he is soo much fun. And thats a day in my life.

Family

FAMILY. When you say family most people think of, mom, dad, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, well you get me. Well Over the past year I have been adopted into a new family, then it made me realize what a family really is. I have worked for the same place for 3 years now, they are my family, reason being, if I ever need anything, they will be there, they have always been there, they love me, they care about me, and support me. When I have messed up big, they were still there, and I will be there if they need me, they are my family. I was adopted into my new family (no I didn't get married or anything like that) this past year through friends I made. I meet Alex and he and I hit it off we are best friends, then he introduced me to his sister and her husband, Faith and Eric, time went on and we made it a ritual to have American Idol night. I was still pregnant so it worked well, every Tuesday I would go to their house, we would watch AI, after dinner, and dessert. When it ended I would go home, and then the following night we would attend church, and go back to there house to watch the second portion of the show. Then the day my water broke I was shopping with Faith, but didn't say anything, that night(note it was a high leak, so it stopped leaking when I stood back up) we went to her house she made spaghetti, and I made cupcakes. Then I started having contraction she asked if I was ok, and I said I was fine (ok I lied I wasn't feeling up to par) I left and sent her a text saying I wouldnt be in church for the Easter Cantata, she asked why, and I told her, that night I drove myself to the hospital, and at 2 am, she came to be with me, she was there (along with 1 other friend, and my mother) for the birth, and kept Dylan for me when I went back to work. So I have been adopted, anything they were doing as a family, I was there too, because they considered me family. This thanksgiving, I was so thankful for my new family, because as my parents do every year, they left the day before, and went to the mountains, so Dylan, and I had thanksgiving with Faith, Eric, Alex, Memaw, Poppop, Teresa, Ronnie, and Aunt Linda. I will never forget this thanksgiving, and I'm so grateful to have so many people love my and support me, my family.

The start.

OK, so creating a blog is like the new cool thing....since......well myspace. About a year ago I left my boyfriend of 2 years, while 4 months pregnant, moved in with my parents, meet a great guy (my new best friend Alex) and his family and they took me in with loving arms. His sister and her husband and I are all very close now, she was there for the birth of my son, she was actually the one who was with me in the hospital at 2am, what a trooper, her I mean, and stayed with me until church then came back in time for the baby to be born, and she went back to church. lol. My pride and joy, the center of my life, my everything, my son, was born March 23, 2008 (easter sunday) at 4:09pm, he was 7lbs 7.4oz, and took me 18 hours. lol. I have learned sooooo much this past year, and have made it over many hurdles, I love my life, even when it gets hard. Dylan (my son) is now 8 months old, and its sooo wonderful to see him do new things everyday, one day he is just laying in the floor singing the next he is bableing words and scooting on the floor. I had thanksgiving with my friends, and enjoyed every minuet of it. Its funny how God works, and amazing the people he puts in your life, Im not sure where I would be or what I would even being doing right now if none of this ever happened. I cant picture it anyother way. I love being a mom, I have a routine, something I never had before, of course its not like I have a choice, if I didnt have a routine, well, lets just say I would be pulling my hair out and jobless, lol. I am planning on attending college, just because I am a single mother does not mean I cant continue my education. I will be taking online classes, and working hard to achieve what I want in life, as if im not a good enough reason, I now have Dylan, pushing me to do better. I wouldnt change anything, I love things just the way they are ..... although there are a few things I do want, but I can wait.
