I'm not very good at this blogging thing but I'm thinking I should give it a better try.
What do you do when you learn what people really think of you? I must admit my feelings are a bit hurt but what was said is true. Sad but true. My goal for today is to be positive no matter what the situation is or circumstances are.
Peace and Love,
Erin

It's been a long time.....
I'm baaaaaack! Not that anyone noticed I was gone but still, LOL. Today sucks because I'm having a flare up and I don't want to be here at work. But I have bills to pay so here I am. Good times. :)
How do you get back in the groove of eating right and exercising? I get into it then I fall right back out of it. Grrr!
I'm so excited about fall and the weather that comes with it. I'm ready for fire pits outside and watching football games thru the back door with the volume up and windows open so we can hear it! I'm ready to quit sweating like a whore in church just walking to my damn car.
Happy Monday!

Lent
I always have great big plans going into Lent but never follow through with them. I blame this on my ADD. No really, I do have it, lol. Anyway this Lenten season I decided to set a few goals for myself and one for Madison. Oh yeah I know she's 10 but she's a 10 year old who has no responsibility and no respect for things...most days. Anyway that's a whole other story, back to me. My lenten sacrifice is as follows:
Now Miss Madison's sacrifice is that she is not to ask for anything extra when we go into a store. She has every toy, electronic, stuffed animal, etc. imaginable to one human being. Yes I know that's my fault. But....I lost it on Tuesday when she dropped her brand new iPod touch that Santa brought her. The whole entire screen shattered. I was SICK! SICK! Do you hear me?! So I called around to see who fixed those kinds of things, I found one place that would charge $100 but voids the warranty with repair. I decided to call Apple to see what they said. Well lo and behold they are replacing the iPod for $99. Santa paid $199. Same amount as if I had it fixed here in town plus it's brand new. The catch is that I'm making Madison pay for it with her report card money, birthday money and lagniappe money. She didn't have the case on it like I asked her to and well needless to say she cleaned her entire room until she found it...UNDER THE BED! She's $25 from the $100 that she needs and I've informed her that she will EARN that money. She's nervous but I'm certain she will work hard to earn it. So that brings me back to sacrificing for Lent. She's my only kid and I'm not going to lie, I spoil the ever-loving poo outta her. My fault she's this way, I know. We go into Walgreens, oh Mom I like this, ok put it in the buggy. If it's not essential to her breathing and eating daily she's not getting it. Well with the exception of weather, like if it gets below 30 and she needs a heavy coat or something, lol but that's it!
Pray for us!!!!!! ;)
- Limiting myself to 1 Diet Coke, Diet Dr. Pepper or Cherry Coke Zero. Those are all my weaknesses and by the end of the day I am realizing that I've had 3 or 4. Insane!!!
- For those who know me well know I have a mouth like a sailor. I'm ashamed and it's sick. So for each time I cuss I have to put $1 in a jar known as the "swear jar". My co-worker said Oh my gosh, that's a lot for each word, why not a nickel? Well a nickel is easy but putting $1 in a jar for each time I cuss is much more difficult than putting a nickel in. And on Easter Sunday I'll add the swear jar monies to my Easter offering at Mass. It's Friday, 3 days into Lent and there's $7 in the swear jar.

Happy Birthday Madison!!!
My sweet Madison, 9 years old already! Where does the time go? When I was pregnant with you, I couldn't wait to meet you, I was so ready for you to be born. When you were born you had some struggles but pulled through them with flying colors. We knew then that you would give us all a run for our money! You have brought nothing but pure joy to my life. You are an incredible little being. You always want to share everything you have whether it's candy or just love. You make me laugh every single day. Quite honestly somedays I'm not sure I'd know what to do without all of your Madison-isms. Happy Birthday to you, sweet girl! Thank you for being you.
Love, Momma
