Meltdown!

Well it's been forever since I've posted something.
We've been busy, and when we are not busy, we are resting.
That's my excuse! =)

Caden just turned 18 months on the 1st. At his 12 month check up they told us that the "terrible two" are beginning and to watch out! Terrible two? No, not my sweet Caden. He's too sweet and laid back for that. And besides, I thought they started when they were two, not on their way to two.

OK, so within the last month or two, Caden has begun to have these "meltdowns". They can happen anytime, day or night. Sleepy, or well rested. At home or in public. With family, or with people at church! It's just when he doesn't get his way. (But mainly when he wants to be outside.)

Today we went outside for just a few minutes to get some fresh air, and let him play. By the way he LOVES outside. So I keep him on the front porch so he can stay out of the sun, and so I don't have to chase him all over Dahlonega-because, he will go.....and go.....and go......if you know what I mean. Back to my meltdown. Well his meltdown.

He filled his pants and I smelled it. I asked him if he had pooped and he shook his head "No". Which is a different story. Usually when he poops he lets me know and runs to his room, but because we were outside and we had to go inside to change he didn't want to go. So because he was dirty, I insisted we go inside to his room to change his diaper. So here is where the "meltdown" begins, the bottom lips curls down and the big crocodile tears come!! Then when he realized, he HAD to get his diaper changed, he calmed down and let me change his diaper and then we went back outside.

This made me think. Why do we do this? We even do this to God. We scream, cry and want our way when God, just wants us to do what he knows is best for us. I find myself, not screaming, but sometimes, not wanting to do what God is wanting me to do. It might alter what I have in mind to do. But it's best for me! And he's in charge! No matter how big or how small.

THE Wedding

Yes, It was a week ago, but blogging isn't my only chore. Last Saturday, November 6th my baby L got married. She was so beautiful! I was so honored to be apart of that day. I remember when she met J. We were all a little sceptical about it. He was a friend of a high school classmate, and it was a blind date. But they met and had a good time and it was history from there. The first time I met J, L, asked M and I to go to the Cumming Country Fair with them. M and I being country music fans were very excited to go. Because M and I started dating so long ago, he is like a big brother to L. They both bicker and protect each other like siblings. Michael kind of had a gut feeling J was going to be a good guy because he like Charlie Daniels and he knew the old country songs. After the concert we stopped my DQ, and had ice cream. For those of you that don't know, M doesn't like chocolate. Well at least that is what he says, but he will eat peanut M&M's, snickers, an...

Coupon Queen

Ok so my newest craze is couponing. My mother in law invited me to a couponing class a few weeks ago and I went. I had heard of couponing, but never looked into it to see how it worked. So, once I went to the class, I looked into it a little more. Wow, how easy it is to save money. All you have to do is go to a website and she tells you everything you need to know. She does all the work. You just have to decide what you want and where you want to go. So last night I went to Kroger...my store of choice. And I spent $89.00. But, I have $72 in coupons and sales!! Wow! I can get used to this. I called M and told him and then had to call someone else..so I called Dad. Call me the Coupon Queen. I can't wait for the next sale paper and coupons to come out!!! If you want to know more about it and live near me. Im going to another class this Sunday night. Or you can go on the website yourself. southersavers.com  She is very detailed and helpful. I've just done this one time, but she s...

Twas the Month Before Christmas

This was sent to me is an email and I thought it was cute and very true!! Twas the Month Before Christmas When all through our land, Not a Christian was praying Nor taking a stand. See the PC Police had taken away The reason for Christmas - no one could say. The children were told by their schools not to sing About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things. It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say December 25th is just a ' Holiday '. Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it! CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-Pod Something was changing, something quite odd! Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda. As Targets were hanging their trees upside down At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found. At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ea...
