Snow Day!

I got to spend the ENTIRE day with my love, my little boy, today! I am not a fan of the cold, but found that my son absolutely loves everything about the snow, so we spent hours outside playing. He was such a joy to watch, running all over the place, sledding, eating the snow, etc ! I recorded a few clips of him that I will try to put together and upload soon, but I of course have pictures to share tonight! I truly enjoy days when I have nothing else to do but hang out with my little man! He is so much fun! Well before I complete my blog challenge, here are a few pictures for your viewing pleasures. (:




Gosh, I love him!! 
Blog Challenge Day 8: 5 Passions 

1. I have a passion for Christ, and to be the best Christian that I can be.
2. I have a passion for helping others. 
3. I have a passion to be a good mother to my son.
4. I have a passion for my hair (I just don't have the patience for it! haha). 
5. I have a passion for fashion! 

Ok, y'all that's all I got for you tonight, goodnight! 

Snowed In..

Y'all things got real in Georgia last night. I was one of the unlucky few that had to work (my entire shift) yesterday, and they wanted me to stay overnight to work todays shift because of all the call outs! There were more car accidents, abandoned cars, and people trapped in cars for hours than I have ever seen in my life! All because Georgia is so unprepared for this kind of weather! The sad thing is this happens almost every year and they promise every year that it happens that they will be more prepared the next time it happens & they aren't! So completely unprepared, while there are hungry children stuck on buses and things! I am venting because it would be different if it was unpreventable, but people up North deal with what we received and worse on a daily basis. It is preventable and it should be prevented! Fortunately, I was one of the lucky few that does not have to take the highway to get home from work, so I did get home safely. But, I prayed the whole way! That drive home was one of the slowest, scariest rides I have ever taken! 
                                                 Vent over. 
In other news, my son completely enjoyed his first snow! I am so sad that I didn't get to play in it with him yesterday, but best believe we will get some time in today! Pictures to come soon, but here are some of him from yesterday. 


 The top two are of Isaiah and his Uncle Jerry! <3 


Oh, I love this little boy! Cannot wait to play with him out there soon! 
Ok, and I'm three day behind on my blog challenge. Ooops! I am going to do the past two days now (they will be short and sweet). Then later today I will do todays, deal! 

Blog Challenge Day 6: Hardest thing I have ever experienced

Mhmm.. this is a hard one. I would have to say my dog, Lala, dying. It was a real hard time for me, and she was my best friend. I just didn't understand why she had passed when she did, and I was so upset that I wasn't there for her. 

Blog Challenge Day 7: Dream job & Why 

Ok, I am still undecided about this! If I could be an elementary school teacher and get paid how I want to get paid; that might be it! I love children and that would make me so happy. But now being a nurse assistant, I would also love to do something where I could help a lot of people. And lastly, a job that would allow me to travel (all expenses paid!) and experience the world. So, just combine all three of those and there's my dream job! Hahaa.  

Ok, thanks for reading! I'll be back later today.

Sleep Got The Best of Me.

So I remembered that I needed to blog late last night after I had gotten home from work and ready for bed. When I remembered though, I was already comfy in my bed, and I recall saying to myself I'll get to it in a few minutes... when I opened my eyes again my alarm was going off for me to get back to work! My apologies! So today will be another two blog challenges in one post. I will do better, I promise.

Blog Challenge Day 4: 10 things I would tell my 16 year old self
1. Be smart when it comes to men.
2. Don't believe everything everyone says to you.
3. Not everyone has your best intentions in mind.
4. Not everyone is trying to be your friend.
5. Don't be so judgmental- you don't know what someone is going through.
6. Take time to listen- you don't always have to speak.
7. Take things seriously; time is going to fly.
8. Some people like to see you do good, but not better than them; stay focused.
9. You can do anything you put your mind to- but it won't always be easy.
10. Keep smiling and never give up. God only puts you through what you can handle, and it's for a reason. Just keep going and praying!

I really could go on, but I won't.

Blog Challenge Day 5: 5 things that make me happy

WELLL.. if y'all have been reading my blog numero uno is VERY obvious

1. MY SON, Isaiah Rasul <3
2. My family. I know if I have nothing else, I have them.
3. My friends. They keep me laughing and tell me what I need to hear not what I want to hear.
4. My Job. I am so grateful to have on in this economy, and one that I actually enjoy ! love that I get to help people and I love my coworkers.. well most of them! haha
5. Myself! Hey, if I can't make myself happy who can? I enjoy the person I am becoming, and can't wait to see what I turn out to be!

Ok there you go! I am currently at work, so that's all for today guys!

Already Slippin' !

Hey ya'll ! Told you I would have trouble keeping up with this blog! Its day three and I'm already behind ! TSK TSK! and I barely remembered to blog tonight! I was about to hit the sheets because I have a LONG day of work tomorrow! So since I am behind behind, I am going to do yesterdays and todays blog here!

Blog Challenge Day 2 : Three Fears & How they became fears?

1. Anything happening to my son! That just comes with being a mom. Besides the everyday fall and bumps he always seems to run into, I constantly worry about him! 

2. Anything happening to me because of my son! Again that comes with being a mom. I find myself being a safer driver, and taking better care of myself because I don't want to leave my son in the world without his mother. Me and a friend were watching a movie the other night, and the mother had like four children and she was sick with cancer- I could not even imagine! Needless to say many tears were shed while watching that movie! 

3. I am claustrophobic. I get really nervous when I feel closed in! In little spaces or even when I have to much jewelry wrapped around me! I get very hot and nervous! I don't know when or why this became a fear.

Blog Challenge Day 3: My Relationship with the Parents. 

Me and my parents have a wonderful relationship! They really are the best! They support me so much with my son and I am so thankful for them! Yes, we bicker and argue occasionally, but that's healthy.. right?! HAHA. Well, my mom is like my best friend, but she is exactly like me.. we're both hard headed! So we bump heads frequently, but at the end of the day it's all love! & my dad is like the most easy going, hard working man ever! He's wonderful. At the end of the day, I know I can tell my parents anything. They have proven over and over again that their love for me is like no other! I am a very lucky woman. 

That's all for tonight guys, I am a very tired little girl! I WILL blog tomorrow! Hopefully earlier rather than later.. I promise I am going to try my very best to keep up with this challenge for here on out!

Hey guys!! A fellow blogger and one of my best friends is doing a 30 day blog challenge to get her familiar with blogging, and I just thought that was a wonderful idea because I always start blogs and then forget about them.

Ok, that's me!
Today has been a cold day. I regret not grabbing my big coat before leaving the house this morning! I have been at school all day; I'm actually done with classes now but I am waiting for rush hour to pass so I can go home! Besides it being freezing, today has been great! I enjoy my classes, and during my break I ran some errands with a friend, we stopped to get some sushi (from my 20 random facts, you should now know I'm a sushi addict!), and then for dessert we got some frozen yogurt! I know, I know, I'm over here complaining about the cold, yet, I'm eating frozen yogurt! But let's be serious, who turns down frozen yogurt?!

Ok, that was fun.. Day 1 was a success! Can't wait to blog again tomorrow! Hope I make it through this challenge!
