Happy New Years Eve Thursday

Hi to all my friends out there! I know I have been MIA for a while now but truthfully just taking some down time to enjoy the holiday time with my family, also taking some time to recover from the past 15 months of my son,Jason,being incarcerated and then about his sentencing last Tuesday, and what all of it means to me and my family!I am just exhausted from all of it but will be okay.God truly has been with me thru it All!!!
I also wanted to announce the winners of my Giveaway! I truly wanted to thank everyone that participated to help my friend Lani Out!
The winner of the Run-Like-A-Girl Necklace is:Heather at RunFastermommy! She is really inspiring and a crazy runner like myself who is refreshingly funny and honest about her running and life.
My second winner of the XO necklace is Christy at:The Secret Life of an American Wife and Mom You must go check her out! She is very sweet and always leaves a kind comment and encouraging words!
Last but not least I will leave you with a picture of my twinkies! They are growing too fast and I am enjoying every second with them!This was on a cold day when we were getting ready to go for a Run!!

For my running Peeps:remember when your legs burn,to run with your Heart!!!

Music Monday!!!!

It is Music Monday at my friend Tara's blog!Today,The theme is ">Christmas Music! I chose these two songs! We sang the first one,Angels We Have Heard on high" in church yesterday and it was very upbeat and happy!!I just loved singing it and thinking about my Lord and Savior's birth and what a truly glorious day it was!! Lots of people sang along
and it was so amazing to see their faces changed to joy and smiles!!




My second song is,"Jingle Bell Rock"!Many years ago when my son, Jason, was little we created a different version with his nickname in it!!We all used to sing it to him!My girls Belle and Jill can still sing it that way today!!I still sing it that way today and boy do I miss him!!
Very silly and a wonderful memory!


I can't beleive Christmas is almost upon us!I am truly trying to stay focused on the true meaning of Christmas!The birth of our savior!Now don't get me wrong,I enjoy looking at lights and all of the festivities but in my heart it's all about Jesus!

Borrowed from my daily Readings~
If you are experiencing a problem and SiNceReLy seek a solution,direct your thoughts to God and don't focus on the problem.You cannot find a solution to your problem if you do not allow God to assist you.
Allow him to create order from chaos and to give you the right solution.When God becomes more important than your problem,you will be fueled by a spiritual power because God is occupying his rightful place in your life.You Will find solutions to your problems and by His grace you will be able to live a victorious Life!!

This really works!! I have tried it!
Love you all!!!

Come play along with us!

I am going to go but wanted to add one more thing about God's Love:
(This is borrowed out of a Devotional book that I read everyday)
The Extent of God's Love is so infinite that He is by your side in every situation of life.He waits to support you and help you;console you;to help you overcome stumbling blocks,and to be your Shepard.
Love you All!

ThANKFUL ThANKSGIVING ThURSDAY!!!

Wednesday night 09/25/09


Tonight ,church was wonderful!We had a beautiful praise and time of Worship and then Pastor A. started asking people to stand up and say what they are thankful for!
What came to my mind( after much digging) right away was my good health and that I have five beautiful children who are my Life!Then I realized that (even the little ones that I almost miss)I am also so thankful for all the blessings that continue to happen every day and how God is always right there by my side growing, guiding, loving and protecting me!
Then Pastor A. said to stand if there was a person you were thankful for.I then realized I needed to stand up and talk about my Husband!Yikes! I didn't want to speak in front of all those people but I knew if given the chance that I would have to.

I didn't get a chance to speak but this is what I would have said...(I did tell him when we got home)
I am thankful for my Husband ,Steve.He has been the most PaTienT,ComPaSSioNaTe and CaRiNG Husband that I could have ever asked for!He always supports me in all that I want to do! He is a Stand-up Daddy to our twins, and my other children(his stepchildren)This year has been VERY difficult for me because of many things, but mostly my son Jason and his INcarCeration!He has NeVeR complained and had stood by me through alot of tough,tough decisions and even more emotional outbursts,breakdowns and just down right bawling!

Baby,I love you!!! You are the Best!!!You are my Rock!Forgive me for being so blind!
Happy Thanksgiving! I am so glad you love Me!I love you more than words could ever say!


I want to wish all my blog friends a wonderful and very Happy Thanksgiving!!I love you all!!

Today is Music Monday over at my friend Tara's blog!She is a real sweety and I love playing Music Monday's with her! I decided to pick a song that my grown kids,Belle, Jill and Jason, know by heart!It is a song that I used to play often while teaching them about candlelight,ambiance and romance!(table manners too)
I have started teaching my twinkies this too!No really!!I have started lighting candles(I have high places to put them) and putting on romantic and peaceful music(Michael Buble' last night) so they can start to appreciate the beauty and change that music and candles can do to their mood and soul!
Now they don't sit at the table yet(still highchairs)but I can tell they liked it! Last night after they ate we all danced!!It was awesome and relaxing!You should try this!
Don't forget to pause the music on my blog first and come play along!

Multiples and More Question of the Week!

Name 5 small successes in your life from the past week. (and yes, laundry counts!)
This should be good!!

1)Fed, clothed,and diapered my twinkies every day this week and didn't lose my sanity!!I was sick ALL week!kind of joking but NoT Really

2)I went running three times this week(twice with my twins)despite really wanting to crawl under a Rock and stay there!

3)Steam cleaned the carpet in our living room and rearranged all the furniture!The twinkies love it!!

4)Planned a Fun Friday night field trip to the Mall and Saturday for hubby,twins and I!!!

5)Smiled while singing in The Praise and Worship Team!(It's really not that easy to do!!)LOL

Here is my baby boy Chucky doing what he loves to do!He does this all day long!
I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

Straight from the HeaRT!!~~Running Too~

I figured it was about time I wrote a post from my heart and also some updates about things going on in my life.I have been trying to do this for a couple of weeks but seemed to keep gettin sidetracked.
The truth is I have been having a rough couple of weeks!
First,my husband and twins have been sick for a couple of weeks now so I have had to take care of them, and it has just wore me down.I also haven't been able to spend any time with my daughter Belle and I just miss her to pieces!Lastly,my sonJason, had a court date this past Friday.It seems that our lawyer never has much new info.to tell him or I and I do wonder why it is that we paid her again?!?The good thing is that I got to see him, even though it was for like a few seconds and even though it was across the courtroom it was great to see him!I haven't seen him in 13 months!It was short and sweet and we have another courtdate in about 2 weeks.Hopefully, it will be the last one as she seems to think we should have an offer or deal at that time!There's that DeaL word again.I guess thats just how it is said.
I think this whole situation with my son has taken a huge toll on me and probably years off of my life!It has by far been one of the most painful things I have ever been through and I have been through a few!It shadows all of my thoughts always and I feel like I can never be truly happy!
I think my biggest fear is not knowing what kind of future he will have and what kind of life he will be able to lead.From what his lawyer says he will be charged with a 1st degree felony and that will NeVeR go away.
Because of all of this, I did reknew my relationship with Jesus and have grown closer to God ,more than I have ever been in my life!(something good for sure)I just know if I hadn't done that, I would have had a nervous breakdown for sure.
I know he has a perfect plan for my son and can create something wonderful out of his mistakes!I also know that fear and faith can't work together so I have to choose One and I do choose to have FaiTh.It is just so hard at times, but I have to stand firm!It just hurts so much sometimes I feel like I cannot breathe!That I cannot talk to anyone about it either!It's like a terrible secret that nobody talks about or acknowleges.
Then to top all of that off my husband and I have grown so very,very far apart!! I am not even sure where to start bringing things closer or sometimes if I really want to.I just know that for the love of our twins and marriage(which God ordained) that I have to try and I really want to most times! I know how painful it is to break up a home and go through divorce and I don't want to put the twinkies throught that.Plus,I also retired from my job so I am unemployed,at this time!LOL Sorry, I just crack myself up, sometimes!
Seriously,I know this has gone on longer than usual but I just had to get this out.

I also wanted to write a little about my running since I haven't been doing that either.I have still been running like a crazy woman!! I just love it!!Didn't want you all to think I had fallen Off the waGon!! My goal is still to win a 5k within a year,so probably next fall or so.I have decided it is time to start running in some races and fun runs just for that reason ,to have FuN!!!Plus it has finally cooled down a little here and being outside is getting to be very enjoyable!
I still do about half of my training on the treadmill(at the gym) and the rest outside with my twinkies!!I promise to post some pictures soon!!
Okay,all joking aside,just know that no matter what your going through that you are NeVer Alone!! God is always with You!He will never leave YoU or Forsake You!!Hebrews13:5
I remind myself of this constantly and it helps me tremendously!
Love you All~Thanks for reading and sharing in my Life!

I have decided to pick a song that makes me smile and want to sing along(okay, that's every song)It also has a lot of truth in it and for some reason makes me think of my daughter Jill!
Please take a few minutes to have a listen and let me know what you think!Oh, and don't forget to pause my Music at the top!


and a quote for my Running Peeps!I'm still thinking about this one!?~~

When we run, we are already so exposed, often nearly naked in our shorts and T-shirts, huffing and puffing, purified by the effort. Briefly removed from the defenses and secrets we maintain in so much of our lives, we feel less need to hide our private thoughts, loves, fears, and stresses. We share.

Amby Burfoot, The Runner's Guide to the Meaning of Life

I will be writing an update about my son,Jason.It has been hard to get the words typed out!

Afetr linking to Tara's for MuSiC MoNdAy!!!! please link up to mine and share a great song!(this is my first time using mcLinky)

Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday

Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
Oh and don't forget to click on the link above to go to the original post and play along with us!


My question is:

when your at home do you where shoes or go barefoot???

I am always barefoot except when it's a little cold I will put on socks!
Okay, your turn!

WaY BaCk When-esday!!

I decided to play along with Cheryl from Twinfatuation!I just found this picture taking in hmm... probably the summer of '88!Yup that is waay Back!! It is my three now grown children.Belle,Jill and Jason! It is a very sweet memory for me!I hope you enjoy and will play along with us!

WhaT I Learned ThiS WeeK!

I am playing along with MusingsofaHouswife.I hope you will come and join us! I just had to get in on this One!

Okay,here Goes!

1) I learned that I have the sloowest computer on the planet and I seriously wonder how I survived when there was only dial-up!?!

2)I learned that whether I do something or nothing time never stands still.

3)If my husband doesn't get back to work soon, I will seriously lose my mind(or whats left of it!)

4)That no matter how bad things seem someone Always has it worse.

5)When I'm out and about shopping, or in a convienience store and I ask someone "how are you?" and they say "okay"If you ask them again they usually will share more and really Want to.On same subject, complimenting,honestly usually makes their day and causes them to smile!(try it)guaranteed to make you feel better too!!

6) The minute my feet start running whether on the raod or treadmill I feel fantastic instantly, and everything else seems to fall into the proper prospective!(this happened just today)

7)That as good as I think I am being or TrYinG to be that God loves me in spite of myself and turns all of my shortcomings into something far better than I could ever imagine!

I am going to have to stop at seven because my sweet Hubby promised to take the twinkies and I out to Super Wal-Mart and we don't want to let him down now do we???


For my Running Peeps(even if your still on the fence)

*Nonrunners cannot see how they can afford the time to run every day. But runners cannot imagine getting through a single day without it.

My question is:


If you could do something, anything FUN today what would it be?


I would go to DisneyWorld!I just love it there!!!

Music Monday!!

alt="Alternative Name"/>

Today is Music Monday at my friend Tara's.You must go visit her atKeepingupwiththKellys! and play along with us!
I chose the song 'Overcome' today!It is a very powerful song that we sang for the first time with The Praise and Worship Team at our church(I have never sung with any group, choir or anyone ever before in my life)Just had to let you know because it is still so surreal to me.
Okay, back to the song!While we were singing I had a vision of my son in his jail blues sitting on his bunk.He hasn't felt the sun on his face in over a year!He doesn't get to go outside!I started to cry.I know that we will Overcome this trial with God's help and that he will become the man that god is intending him to be! I then looked out at the sea of people in the congregation and thought about how everyone there is probably going throught some kind of painful situation or knows someone who is. I then realized that none of us are immune to this in our lives, but that with God we can OverCome and make it out on the other side!
It doesn't mean it won't be painful and we will be unscathed just that with his help and his strength we will make it and find joy again in our lives.
I hope this song reaches into your heart and lets you know or reminds you how much God(the one that created us all) loves you!!That no matter what your going through call on him and he will be with you thorugh all of it!Love you all!!
