Day 2 "Favorite Movie"

CITY OF ANGELS and SWEET NOVEMBER

I used to always fall asleep to City Of Angels. I don't think that movie ever came out of the dvd player until I moved in with Rob who is now my husband.. He doesn't allow TV in the bedroom because I never shut it off and he can't sleep with it. :( That is one thing that I have not been able to transition out of.. I still toss and turn for hours before falling asleep!

I have a fun and spunky personality, however, Charlize Theron, in Sweet November is my idol..
If you have not sat down to watch this movie, you better!

Day 1. Favorite song...

Miley Cyrus "The Climb"

She has an amazing voice and an inspiring message!

I relate this song so much to myself because......

I have dreams that I want and have been slowly working to fulfill, however, there are things holding me back from achieving them. I am not saying they are all bad, but the obstacles are there and eventually I will find a way to work around them to reach my goals and dreams in life :)

Kasen!

You know one of the million things I love about my son? He is the most polite two year old I have ever met. We do not go anywhere without the comment from someone about how well his mannerism is. He always asks "please" when he wants, says "thank you" when given and "excuse me" when needed. I have truly been blessed with this sweet little boy. He has taught me more in his two years of life then I have learned in my 23 years of living. I LOVE YOU KASEN MORE THEN WORDS CAN SAY..

While on the subject of my little man, I might add this photo with the story behind it..

Kasen had been running around the house in a t-shirt and underwear all day. His daddy went outside to shovel this lovely UTAH snow. Oh boy, Kasen's favorite thing to do! He threw his boots, a vest and gloves on and was out the door quicker then I could say "get pants on" It was so darn cute Rob had to get a picture before sending him back in for more appropriate clothes for the weather!

Myoclonic Epilepsy Seizures

My son Kasen was diagnosed 1 year ago with Myoclonic Epilepsy. I started a group on Circle of Mom's for moms, family members or friends that know a child or someone with any seizure disorder. For them to be able to share their stories or ask questions! Join anytime, we are looking forward to meeting you and hearing what you have to say!

A stepmothers prayer!

Lord, help me to be a good stepmother… give me the patience of a saint, the strength of an ox, and the skin of a rhinoceros. Help me to understand why her mother would rather believe her child is suffering at the hands of an evil stepmother than being loved by a kind, responsible adult who brings her happiness. Let me be content in my knowledge that children have an unlimited supply of love to give. Keep me from reminding her mother that my presence in her life does not take away the love she feels for her as she fails to understand that a child’s love multiplies and does not divide. Help me in the constant struggle to find my role in the child’s life, somewhere “below” a parent but “above” an aunt or family friend. Accordingly, help me to appropriately and accurately represent our relationship when in public. If someone calls her my child or me her mother, guide me in how I am to respond… let me know if I am overstepping my bounds by remaining silent or disowning them by correcting the assumption. Help me keep my patience, even while dropping my plans at a moment’s notice when her “real” parents are busy… and when her mother tells my husband “she is not her mother!” and “why can’t she watch her?” in the same conversation, give me the strength to keep from going over the brink of hysteria. Help me to know when and how I should discipline child without exceeding my authority or taking too passive a role. Lead me from the temptation of spoiling her in the vain hope that she will accept me and not resent my presence. If a time comes when I disagree with how she is being raised, make me keep silent and not object in spite of the fact that she lives in my home. Give me the ability to anticipate all potential problems. Make sure I am always ready with some cash in my pocket for surprise expenses and the time to drive somebody somewhere at the drop of a hat. Remind me that if I have a moment to catch my breath, I have probably forgotten something, and when I finally remember what it is, do not let me assume one of the “real” parents is taking care of it. Help me to forget that in spite of devoting the time, money, stress and energy required in raising my stepchild, I will not shop for prom dresses, be the mother of the bride or dance with the groom. Remind me that maybe, some day, the child will give me a second thought and remember something positive about me from their childhood. Let her gain something from having known me, no matter how small or insignificant, and let something, anything I did make her a better person, whether she realizes it or not.

Update..

Wow, can't believe I haven't updated my blog in awhile..

I had my baby Rylee Lynn on Dec. 4th 2009. She came into this world with a few struggles but has made it through them just fine.. She was born 4lbs 13oz and 17 1/2 in long.
