Luckiest Girl in the World
So yesterday I walked up to Save Alot with mom, katie, and the kids and while we were there shopping a nice lady (who had to be AT least 80) stopped her cart at where I was standing and preceded to tell me how beautiful kinleigh was...(.as all of you know i hear this often and eat up every bit of it, i apologize if this makes me a conceded mother. I know my children are beautiful and honestly don't need to hear it to believe it, but its always nice when i hear it). In all honestly i thought i could have cleaned kinleigh up a little better before we went out (she has had a cold for 3 days and her nose has been running non-stop). Well then jayden came over and the lady looks at him and with the biggest smile say "well aren't you just so handsome" (again gloating i know). Jayden was an even bigger mess then kinleigh was, he has been broke out in poison ivy all week and not to mention he is covered in dirt head to toe because he had been making dirt for dinner in the back yard :). As the lady continues to compliment my kids i am finding any excuse for her to stop, i kept saying they are such a mess right now...and my daughter has a cold and my son is getting over poison ive...blah blah blah. The lady says to me "oh no no thats one thing that makes them beautiful"...and then she began talking about what beautiful big eyes both of them have.
She was such a nice lady, beyond the fact she was praising my kids without knowing me or them she was just a genuinely nice women. It takes me a long time to warm up to just about anyone and for some reason, never knowing this women, i felt if only for a second...already warmed up to her.
We stood there talking just for a few more minutes but she managed to tell me about the few grand kids she has and how a couple were already in their 30's and one was just getting ready to graduate from college. None of them had started families yet, she said all of them have had their noses in work and think of nothing else but that. She said that she tries to convince her grandaughters to give her great grandbabies, but doesn't ever see it happening.
After we had parted ways mom went to the check out aisle and i took the kids outside and waited for her to get done, i thought about my life and the decisions that i have made in my 26years of life....would i change any of the decisions i have made?
At this point in my life i COULD most likely be graduated out of college with probably a bachelors degree (in god knows what? it could have ranged from psychology to journalism) i may have been moved out of georgetown to find better work (which soon i plan to be out of georgetown to start my family). I probably wouldn't be in a relationship and if so it wouldn't be to serious because i would have been to into work myself. So, i would have to say no i do not regret any of the decisions that i have made in my 26years. I am happy with my life, although things are tough from time to time and i would eventually like to have a career...i love being a mom its the best gift in the world..this is how my life is supposed to be...we all go through our own struggles in life to become who we are in the end.
I thought of those ladies grand children....not that i think they are making the wrong decision, because financially they probably are in a better boat then i am, but i think of what they are missing out on...and i consider myself the luckiest girl in the world to have to amazing children who bring smiles to my face every single day and i wouldn't want any of my life any other way

Whats been happening?
So I know another long several months since writing last...i don't know why i manage to stay away for months at a time when i find that keeping this blog relieves so much stress and is something that i much enjoy. It could be that now i have two children to tend to on a daily basis and two is definitely more time consuming then one!
Jayden just started the 1st grade a couple weeks ago, he loves school and was so excited to return! Kinleigh is nine months as of 2 days ago, she is growing so big so fast. She has already been crawling for 3 months now. She stands on her own but hasn't made those first steps just yet. She has her two bottom teeth and is getting more! I am still nursing her. I am happy about this, considering i never even imagined that i would nurse. When she was born i had planned on pumping breast milk for her, i ended up trying to nurse and it was the best thing i ever did!
My family and I (ronnie, jayden, and kinleigh) are going to making a move to Sharonville, Ohio soon. Its away from georgetown but thats what we need to get our family started. I'll be sad to leave my family and friends here but i am excited to start new adventures!
