I have just been thinking today and just wanted to say that I am so truly blessed. I have a wonderful loving husband, two beautiful and smart kids, a roof over my head, food in the pantry and a car in the driveway. I am sure there is more that I could want, but what more do I need?
Dalton turned 3 on Sat., and that has made me think back to the day he was born. We almost lost him after he was born. I don't think I have ever been so scared in my life as I was during those first few days. There was a baby in the NICU with Dalton that didn't make it, and I can remember that while my heart was breaking for that family, I was thanking God that it wasn't him.
It was 3 yrs ago today that we knew Dalton was gonna be okay. He came off the ventilator and was eating on his own and breathing on his own. There was never a better sound than to hear him scream at that moment. It was just a couple days later that I finally got to hold him for the first time. There are no words to describe the joy I felt at that moment. It was as if something was missing till I got to hold him in my arms.
He is truly our little miracle. And now that little miracle is 3 yrs old and I have to get him ready for school. :-)

5 years
Today is the 5 yr anniversary since Damon died. I don't know what seems so significant about this yr than any of the others, but something is. There have been a lot of things happening this pat month that automatically make me think of Damon. Some "paranormal", such as toys going off by themselves, dimes appearing out of nowhere (I have found over $3.00 in dimes this week alone) lights flickering, stuff like that. Some things have nothing to do with the paranormal. Damon is not a common name, but yet my favorite tv show has a character named Damon, or a radio station will have a caller named Damon that has the same voice. And it is the little things, like making a banana pudding and in the first bite remembering it was Damon's favorite dessert of all time.
It is getting a little easier to think back about him with a smile instead of just tears, except for milestone moments like this. And my kids help, they keep me on my toes, lol. Savannah talks to Damon. I know a lot of people don't believe in that, but we have never told her anything about him, and she can tell us everything about him. She says things he would say, she tells us what he looks like, things he did.....there is no other way for her to know that.
Watching Greys Anatomy last night was probably not the best idea I have ever had. The show was good, don't get me wrong. But watching a show where the man dies due to severe burns and how the friends deal with their grief is not a good idea the day before the anniversary of damons' death due to severe burns, know what I mean?
There is a new song out that I know has nothing to do with Damon, but one part in this song haunts me......and probably always will. The song is Joey by Sugarland, I will provide a link....anyways, here is the part of the song.
"Were you sad, were you scared, did you whisper a prayer to be free
Was it quite and cold, was it too light or too dark to see
and did you reach for me
I'm so sorry
Oh, can you hear me?"
Anyways, as usual thanks for listening to my ramblings.......I am sure I will be back on before long.
R.I.P. Damon We love you and miss you............Later

Almost a year already
In five days it will be one year since Thelmas wreck. It does not seem like she has been gone a year already, yet it also seems like it was just yesterday. I wondered how we would all get by after she was gone, she was such an inspirational person to us all. Yet, here we are, a year later, and we are all surviving fine. We still miss her terribly, and always will. I still believe that dalton looks for her sometimes still. But life still goes on.
I worried about my daddy after she died, adn I still worry about daddy, always will, but he is dating the most wonderful woman. She loves him and has been there for him since the day Thelma died. They have been friends since before I was born, and that friendship has never failed. I am so grateful for her. My kids love her and she loves them, and of course I do too. She has always been like a second mama to me.
Dalton has made some amazing strides lately. He is walking more and more with his walker that EI provided for him. He is still not talking, but he is getting very vocal and making lots of new sounds. He has also started getting more mischevious lately. He is becoming such a little boy, getting into everything! He has just learned how to climb onto the couch and is trying to expand his options, lol.
Savannah will still tell you Memaw is in Heaven with Jesus and she isnt hurting anymore. That child has a gift that amazes me more and more each day. She is getting too smart for her own good, she will be 4 in Aug., but she acts like she is going on 14 instead of 4.

The last few weeks....
have been very busy. I know I haven't been on here in a while, but I am gonna try and get everyone caught up now.
We have went on our vacation, a long and tiring two weeks, but it was so much fun. We went to my cousins house and stayed with her, while we were there we went to Disney World, Sea World, Sanibel Island and me and James got to spend the weekend at the Daytona races. I am glad to be home, but I did love the drama free days down there.
Dalton and Savannah are doing good. They each are getting more attitude every day, Lord help me when they reach teenage years, lol.
There have been a few things going on the last few weeks. Damons birthday was on the 19th, and although it was a hard day to get through, as usual, I chose to celebrate the day instead of mourn it. It was a great decision for me, I had more fun on that day than I have in a long time and spent it with my kids and my mom.
I have also had a very close and dear friend to suffer a horrible loss. My heart breaks for her and her family daily, but she is an incredibly strong woman and they have an amazing faith in God, and I know they are going to be just fine. But her loss has taught me to value my kids more, and not take them for granted, and I will be forever grateful for that lesson.
I will come back later and post some pics of our vacation, but right now I am very tired and I am going to bed.

Sugarland
Me and James went to the Sugarland concert Sat. night. Billy Currington and another guy were there also, and I can't remember the other guys name now but he was really good too.
It was a steady rain most of the night, we were in the middle of a field and standing in mud up to our ankles, but it was all sooooo worth it. This is the second time we have seen Sugarland, and I think they get better and better each time.
It was very wet, it was very cold, and very dirty. I think that is the first time I have really felt like I was at a redneck concert, lol.
If you get a chance to see Sugarland, or Billy Currington, please take it. You wont regret it.
If this comes through, this is a pic of what we were in, it only got worse with the more rain and the more people that came in, lol.

Wed. May 13th
Dalton had an appt. today to get a refferal to see a cardiologist. I suspect he has poor circulation and since he has all the other problems he does, I want to be safe and have it checked out. They are supposed to call me with an appt. time.
Savannah has a new imaginary friend, her name is Sara. No one else is allowed to talk to her. I am wondering if there can be such a thing as an imaginary cult. Her imagination is absolutely insane.
We have a busy weekend planned. Me and James are going to see Sugarland this weekend, along with Billy Currington.

Well, this is my first blog, so hang with me till I get used to this, lol. I am 28 yrs old, I have two beautiful babies, and me and their daddy got married on Dec. 31st 2008, after being together for almost 5 yrs now. I love him very much, he spoils me wrotten.
My 3 yr old is going on 30, attitude and all. She is absolutely amazing. She is too smart for her own good sometimes.
My 2 yr old is awesome as well. He has been through more in his short life than any child should have to go through, but he is a fighter. He is my brilliant, charming little man.
This is all I can think of for right now, but I will write more later. It is too late in the morning to think rationally at the moment.
