Mommy you's my fwiend...

As a mother sometimes things get tough! My job isn't to be my children's buddy, but rather their mother. Lainey says to me "mommy you's my fwiend" and I cherish the moment. I used to be Landon's best friend (we called each other wall-e and Eva) and Angelynn used to say the same. Now we are battling the teen years and I'm definitely not a friend lol.

When I was a teen a counselor (used loosely) told my mother that I didn't need a mom, I needed a friend. At the time I thought "ya man!"...... Now that I'm the mom I see why she vehemently disagreed with him.

This weekend Angelynn attended a cool youth conference and refueled her faith after a few VERY tough days. Super cool to hear the Christian radio station on, are her reading her bible and see her heart re-softening after the last 2 weeks.

We rearranged the master bedroom, removing the co-sleep *sniffle*, reorganized the bathrooms, rearranged the play room and movie area, set up Brad's surround sound, picked paint colors and did lots of laundry. Oh! And brad fixed the neighbors fence :/, and hung window shades!! Woot!!

Moo and big played LOTS of wii and we tried a few new recipes:) slowly but surely we are customizing this place.:)

We are approaching t ball! (Starts Tuesday!) and co-Ed softball for church (soooooo excited!). Moo has pics Thursday, angel has gymnastics and the Orthodontist AND is a bridesmaid on Saturday:)!! Brad will be running sound and I will wrangle kids. Hoping to paint Laines room Friday!!

I finally ordered new glasses today and am so happy about it. I needed them badly. Contacts are great but I need glasses in a pinch. We also got te shopping done so hopefully a smoothe week ahead. Except for Friday, Benjamin gets shots :( poor sweety!

If you get a chance listen to this week's message from the rock church here in laurel. Really fab this week!!
