New outlook

If you read my blog yesterday you know that I posted something about one of my friends. And you also know that most of what I said was very judgemental! I think yesterday's post was a result of my emotions getting the best of me. Of course I was upset at the situation but it's between me and her and I really shouldn't have posted about it on the blog! But I do appreciate everyone who responded to the post. It shows me who really cares about me and who has my best interest at heart. There may be things I don't know about my friend that cause her to be the way she is and it's none of my business! All I can do is be the best friend I know how to, and help others where I can. And if I can't help then I just need to be polite about it. I'm not the kind of person who would go out of their way to make someone else feel bad. It's not in my nature. I have always been one to want to share what I have with others regardless. And so I agree I need to set boundaries with people so I don't get taken advantage of. But who am I to judge some one elses actions, they are their actions not mine. What ever happens as a result of those actions is their business, not mine. I've been trying to work on several personal goals this week, how to lose the baby weight, how to be more frugal, and the number one is how to be less judgemental. I know at times we all say negative things about other peoples lives but really is our place to say that, I think NO! We have to put our self in their position and say to ourselves would we want someone talking like that about us. No we want people to say the positive about us! So on that note I want you all to know that I'm great full for the friends and family I have who are always there to help me when I need it and provide me with good advice. And I encourage you all to look for the good in people. It's amazing how that little simple thing can make you feel so much better inside!

Just for Fun!!

Today I just couldn't resist taking her picture!! I bought these cute tights and boots yesterday to go with this cute dress I had. And so I had to document the cuteness of the purple and pink!! And then of course Isaiah insisted I take his picture as well, but I don't mind he has the biggest cutest smile ever!!! Micah is at school right now but he doesn't like getting his picture taken very often. I can't believe that baby is tow mon. old and she weighs 10lbs and she's 23 1/2 inches long. Right now she looks like Micah when he was a baby. It will be interesting to see if she changes her look or if she'll look like him always.

Halloween

This year Halloween was very hectic for us. On the Wednesday before Halloween we went to our ward party/chili cook off. And that is the only time I got a picture of Micah in his costume because the next day Micah came down with the flu. His temperature was very high and he had to go to my mom's the next day so he wouldn't get the other kids sick. Then on Friday we went with my aunt and uncle and their kids to Red Butte gardens for their Halloween in the garden thing. And Isaiah had a great time!! That same night Dwayne came home early from work( shocker I know!!) because he too was feeling sick. So I thought great now I have to juggle between caring for Dwayne and going to my mom's to check on Micah. So on Saturday Isaiah, baby and me went trick or treating around our apartments for a little while. Then we took some of the candy over to Micah so he wouldn't feel left out. On Sunday I took Isaiah and the baby to church with me and it was fine. And then that night I had to take Dwayne to the Instacare because he was feeling worse. Monday morning I was fine I was just cleaning up around the house and then about 11 am it hit me like a ton of bricks!! I got dizzy I was throwing up I was just so sick all of the sudden! So then I had the flu as well. So now it was like ok who can get out of bed to feed that baby and will she get sick. Thank goodness Dwayne and I got on Tamiflu to shorten our flu and Isaiah got on it to prevent him from getting it. And baby didn't get it! But this week has been crazy! One min I feel good and I get up to do something and then BAM I'm back to feeling like crap!!! I think I'm nearing the end of my flu but Dwayne and Micah are still coughing. I just hope this doesn't last much longer. It's hard for me to take care of the kids when I'm down and Momma's can't afford to be sick!!! Let's just say I'm getting my flu shot on Saturday and I hope I don't get the flu again this season!!
