I'm not sure that words can explain my mother's day. Yesterday, Nicholas got off work and ran errands. I knew we were going out and he had something planned, but I had no idea what. I got dressed up and ready to go. Kia watched Jalen for us and off we went. First we went to Frankie's, which is a fun place for putt-putt. It is for kids, as well as adults. It's open until 1 or 2 in the morning. Then, we went to the Ale House. I thought we were going home afterwards, but I was wrong. We got to a hotel and I walked in the door to rose petals on the floor and all over and candles lit everywhere. Of course, I cried my eyes out. It was a wonderful night. Very relaxing. Now, we're back to reality our screaming, wild, loving, crazy, all of the above life. :)
We did lunch with Nicholas' Mommy and hung out for a little bit. All of his family will be here this week for Khesia's baby shower which is Saturday. Then, we did dinner with my Mom and Jerry. We just grilled out. We all walked to the park and now Jalen is getting ready for bed. It has been a wonderful day.
I am thankful that I am a Mom. I do not know where I would be without Jalen and I am so glad I am able to provide for him. Happy Mother's Day!

* The beautiful weather we had been having.. I know it's raining, now!

Priceless!
Just like Daddy - Hat and all 
He went and got his pillow and dog and said he was going nite-nite outside!
Yes, he is two and a half and as a chore -- to feed Cher when it's empty!
They're so sweet together - until Jalen wakes up! (Just kidding, he loves his cousin!)Lovin' the Weather
We've made a tough decision in our household to give up naps! Jalen would fight us to take a nap and not go to bed until late, so we decided it just wasn't worth it. Well, really, I decided it wasn't worth me fighting with him. Recently, like the past 3 days, Jalen has been going to bed at a decent time and then waking up at the crack of dawn! This is not like him at all and it better not stay that way. :) Well, today we decided to get our day started early. I took him to the park and we played and played. It was very fun and we stayed quite awhile. I got on the tire swing with him and started swinging -- He said "Mommy, I go to the clouds!" I started laughing but I could have taken that the wrong way. I think he was trying to sat '"Mommy, you're way to heavy and you're going to fling me to the sky with your big butt on this thing. Afterward, we headed to Ki's house to take a stroll to the lake. Then, after our walk, we went and ate wonderful Rudino's with Daddy at work. Daddy decided he wanted a new hat so we went and got the boys new hats. Jalen picked out a red had and put his name across it. At dinner time we met up with Grandpa and Ki for dinner at El Dorado. Yummy! Then, we went back to pick up the hats and as soon as Jalen got his he turned it around backwards and put it on. He's cool. Now, Jalen is passed out and happily sleeping..Okay, I'm happy he's sleeping. With the no naps, he is so tired he puts himself to sleep. We can watch TV with him (what we want to watch, not Elmo) or he can watch Elmo and go right to sleep. It's a life-saver! :)

Yay for Me!!!
My ultimate goal for school is to manage and graduate with a 4.0 GPA because I've never done anything like that before, so with great excitement I am proud to say I've managed to get a 100% in 2 classes this semester and manage my 4.0 GPA :)

I'm Thankful..
This past week has been a challenging week for me. I don't really know why, but it has. I'm sure everyone has weeks that are just tough, but you keep on going...
In midst of hard times you can always be thankful - I'm thankful..
*I'm thankful my son is healthy. Take a look at the new blog I added with baby Kayleigh.
*I'm over being sick. Jessica, Lindsay, Dwight, and I thought we were going to die the other night with a stomach virus.
*I got to go to the Southern Women's Show with my sisters and lil Ryan. I'm also thankful my Dad watched Jalen because that would've been a disaster!
*I get to go to a Taste of Home Cooking School this week :)
* School is almost over - One more assignment for ECU and 2 more for Wake Tech!
*Nice, beautiful weather! Love it.
* I'm thankful for God - This week I've needed someone to talk to, give me silent advice, and just listen.. He's been there and I'm thankful.
*My Dad brought pictures back from Hickory of my grandparents. Man, I miss them. I know they watch over us, but boy, do I wish I could get a picture of Jalen with them. They were great and I think about them a lot.
I'm thankful -- are you?
