The Breaking Point.......

 


 
 
I consider myself a strong person but when it comes to my children my heart is as soft as a down filled pillow. We decided to have a fun filled family day at Valley Plaza family Entertainment Center.
All was going great we rode the bumper cars, bowled, laser tag, putt putt golf and then we where in then arcade having a wonderful time! When all the sudden I heard a scream from my fifteen month old Jillian. My aunt said she sat her on a arcade game to watch  and she fell off. My heart sank but then she fell asleep in my arms so figured she was ok about twenty minutes later I realized she was favoring her left arm. So I lifted up her long sleeve shirt and was shocked at the sight. Her arm which was normally straight was bent like a rainbow. Once again my heart sank into my stomach and I was about into tears but new I had to be strong for her. To the Emergency Room we went. Well they put a cast on it and then I was ok until we had to go to the orthopedic surgeon on Monday. Monday came and the surgery was scary they had to put my little lady to sleep with I.Vs and all. I cried like a baby for her. She was stronger than her mama that's for sure. She is now rocking a hot pink cast for the next four weeks. I now know it is ok to be strong but also ok to be scared and weak when it comes to your kids.

One day CLOSER!



  The alarm went off at 6:00am to start a new day! This is the routine at my house. I get up get my oldest two daughters up for school and on the bus at 7:15. I then get the twins up and around. Yes that is a total of four daughters! My 5yr old Alyssa is in kindergarten this year and is having a hard time with leaving me. My oldest daughter continues to ask me why she has to get good grades. So I took the leap that I have always wanted to today! I started school at the age of 30. I wanted to show my kids what good grades and an education will get them. So I am determined to be a dedicated student and succeed not only for me but for my beautiful smart little girls. I want them to know that if you put your mind to something and want it bad enough it is never out of their reach. I want them all to know that life is not easy and you need to be dedicated to be successful. That is why you have to attend school and get good grades. What a better way to teach them then by going to school with them, by doing homework with them, I am very excited about this journey! I hope this is a life lesson for my family and will lead to wonderful things for us. So today I am one day closer to my goal and at teaching my girls the values of life. This may have been just one day to some but this is my one day closer to my goal and dream. So this day is a day that I will forever remember for I am one day closer!
