Well I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year!I have been sick Every since Dec4 due to my Dental surgery. I am feeling better finally and I am making my New Years Resolutions:

I am going to be a better homeschool mom and mother and wife. I am going to try to learn to choose my words more sensably when talking to people. I will spend more time on my blog and here with you friends for sapport and to be sapportive also.

We did have a great Christmas and New Year and I hope you all did too. I need to consentrate more on becomming more organized,and making more time for just me as mommy time, just to vent or just to have that time that everyone needs. If it is no more than five minutes out of every day just to find myself and be with God. I do need to find more time for him and myself and I will train my kids to become more independent, and not think they need Mommy to do everything. I don't really know where to start this task,but maybe some of you all can help me with this.

I was raised in a very Christian home and was adpoted by my GrandMother and more or less came home from the hospital strait to her! My bialogical mother I have always know as my sister! My mother is my mom(My Grand Mother)

My family have always had alot of problems starting with my dad,which was one of the biggest alchoholics in the world. My mother is one of these people that I call Angel's on Earth! My dad used to beat her when he became real drunk and I at six years old one day had to hit my dad in the stomack to keep him from killing my mom with a black cast iron skilet!(I still have this skilit to this day) He would get so drunk he would shoot at us while we where walking in the pasture behind the house. There are just to many times that I can remember and not even enough room to tell you,but my mother still stayed with him for 50 years. They got the news from his drinking so much that he had colon cancer and parkenson disease! He did at 68 in our house with my mom taking care of him. She would feed him,bath him, and clothe him. We all wondered how she kept up with a 10 acre garden and my brother and I. Of course at this time we where in our early 20s. But still we where going through our own problems. My father never got to see either one of my children be born. I do wish he could have!

What I am trying to say is my Mother (81) now and still kicking is my "Angel On Earth"!

This is my hope is to become more like my MOM. Sometimes I think,What are you crying for when my mother would take the same problem and laugh at it and just go on. She always tells me to take one day at a time and as long as God is in my heart,everything will work out. You know what? She has always been right.

God has protected her through out her life and still is. In fact over the New Year she fell once again, right on her forehead and busted it open(not as bad as when she fell and broke her hip or the time she split her liver compleatly in half) got her to the hospital and the doctor said it looked like a scare and not a freshly busted open cut! I have never seen anything like it in my life,but there is God holding her in his hands protecting her once again! I am so thankful for her,My Angel On Earth!
