I am my mother's child

Lately I have been thinking about who I am. What qualities I have gotten from each of my parents. I must say, that I take after my dad a lot! I have a quick temper, major road rage, bull headed, stubborn, strong, can be quite jealous and don't let people take advantage of me. I was starting to wonder if I had any qualities from my mom. Well, I have one of her best qualities, her heart. I care for people, I may not come across that way sometimes, but I truely do. I hate to see people suffering and sad. I recently had a friend from school pass away and I am beating myself up for not being there for her. I should have been by her side for all that she went thru. I should have been her strength, I should have helped her with her family. I should have been one of those people that she would call to just talk and get things off her chest. I should of, but I wasn't. We drifted apart like a lot of people do after school. I have another friend that we had a falling out bc of her death. Even tho I am still hurt by it all, I will still be there for her if she needs me. Right now I don't know if she deserves for me to do that, but that doesn't matter to me. I'll be there, no questions asked. I have another friend that we had a falling out a year or so ago, but we are good now. I will always be there for her too. I will be there for any of my friends. I will do anything I can to help them out, to make them smile. They are my friends and I love them all and I will always be there for them. That is my mom in me. She is such a kind and caring person, grant it, she has quite a bigger heart than me, but I am blessed to have part of her heart. I thank her for that, I am so grateful for that quality. I have always said that if I am half the woman that she is that I will consider myself blessed, I don't know if I am quite to half, but as I get older I am finding myself to be more like her. I am finding myself to have a kinder heart. I know I am rambling, but that is what my mind has been like for a while now. Maybe you can find sense in this blog, hopefully you can. I'll end with something that just made me feel awesome, I got the best compliment this week. I was doing a text forward saying "You are driving down the road and a song came on that made you think of me. What is the song." One of my friends replied Wind Beneath My Wings bc you are a lot of ppls strength. That is the best compliment I have ever received. Thanks!!! You have made my year!!!

Ready for 2011!

So, I'm not at all impressed with 2010! Let's see we did have a wonderful start tho! Emma has turned 4 and we had a Spiderman party for her. I really don't know what the obssession is with Spiderman, but it doesn't really matter. She had a blast at her party.
Now onto the not so good. Mom has had a migraine for over a week now. They can't seem to get rid of it. She has tried the normal demeral shot that usually takes them away, but it hasn't worked. They said she needs to make an appt with a nuerologist and get a scan on her head. She said she doesn't need it, but I will make sure she gets it!!
Matt has been having really bad stomach pains. It hurts all the time, but especially after he eats. We go tomorrow to get an ultrasound on his gull bladder, then Tuesday we go for an upper gi to check for ulcers. I'm not sure what I want to come of all of this. I wish he was just fine, but he isn't. So, I guess it would be best for them to find what is wrong and fix it.
One of my really good friends has to talk to a surgeon about her gull bladder and she might have to have it taken out. Then my mother-in-law has to have surgery on her shoulder.
So, let's see...it is the 12th day of the new year and I'm ready for it to be over!! But let's look at the silver lining...(I have always tried to find the silver lining for everyone else, but I'm gonna start doing it for myself too) I have my health, I am able to help the ones going thru these things. I may be worn down and exhausted, but atleast I am able to be those things. I am able to still stand strong and be there for those who need me. My kids are healthy and crazy. There isn't anything wrong with them, they are healthy active kids!!
I have more I would like to blog about but to tell ya the truth, I really don't feel like sitting here any longer typing. lol Hopefully, I will get back on here soon and blog some more.
