Been A Few Weeks

Haven't posted in a few weeks. Since my last post. I have been sick with a cold and the flu and so have all the kids. Been trying to relax and get over this sickness. Still having problems with my breathing and chest pains and just at the point where its too much. I am not sure how much I can take, but the Lord knows and I am trying to remember that He is in control. and will not give me more than I can handle.

We bought I wii fit in hopes of getting in shape to see if that will help with this problem I am having. Kyla loves it too. She loves to do running and the aerobics which she calls fancy dance lol. I am trying to keep moving and do my everyday routines and not let my health interfere with my life but its hard sometimes and takes a lot out of me. I just pray that the Lord takes this problem from me and I can go back to being healthy again. I know it will happen in His time but waiting is not my strong suit.

The kids are doing wonderful. Growing so much as always. Kyla will be four years old in a little over a month. Time has gone by so fast. I can not believe my baby will be four years old, next time I blink she will be all grown up with kids of her own. It just makes you realize to cherish every single moment you have with your kids and family because it goes by so fast.

I thank the Lord for my babies.

Anxiety Attack

So I had another attack last night, and didn't get to sleep until three a.m.
I went online this morning to research this disorder I am told I have and I just don't understand how I can have an anxiety disorder when I don't have any stress in my life. I don't feel stressed or worried about anything huge, so why am I having these attacks.
The one I had last night was weird. It lasted five hours with attacks happening in small burst the whole time. It wasn't as intense as the other ones I have had but very scary and tiring none the less. I just don't know how much longer I can keep this up. Its getting to me physically and emotionally. Why am I having these all of a sudden and why do I have a constant chest tightness all day long? I just hope that the Dr I saw knows what he is doing and gave me the right answer to this problem of mine.

I will be posting in here every time I have an attack so I can keep track of them. I just really need some prays for the Lord to take this from me.

Kindergarten

So Kyla will be 4 in April and I currently have her in Kindergarten. She knows so much already that I am positive she will be ready for 1st grade by the start of the next school year. She LOVES to learn and is always looking for an opportunity to learn. We have a few things that I want to focus on before she starts first grade though, but I have no doubt she will be ready. Its weird to think that I will have a four year old 1st grader. I want to do some research on a curriculum for her though. Any suggestions are more than welcome? I am so proud of how smart my big girl is and hope she keeps this excitement for learning for many years to come!!

BEAUTIFUL ADVICE

Learn from yesterday, Live for today, Hope for tomorrow.

---

Learn from yesterday, Live for today, Hope for tomorrow. This is the most beautiful advice I have ever received in an email .... Please don't close or delete this one before reading! An Angel says, 'Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice.' 1. Pray 2. Go to bed on time. 3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed. 4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health. 5. Delegate tasks to capable others. 6. Simplify and unclutter your life. 7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.) 8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places. 9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together. 10. Take one day at a time. 11. Separate worries from concerns . If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety . If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it. 12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases. 13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc. 14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble. 15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday. 16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line. 17. Get enough rest. 18. Eat right. 19 Get organized so everything has its place. 20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life. 21. Write down thoughts and inspirations. 22. Every day, find time to be alone. 23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray. 24. Make friends with Godly people. 25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand. 26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good 'Thank you Jesus .' 27. Laugh. 28. Laugh some more! 29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all. 30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can). 31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most). 32. Sit on your ego. 33 Talk less; listen more. 34. Slow down. 35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe. 36 Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before. GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU. 'If God is for us, who can be against us?' (Romans 8:31)

Walking and such

So my big boy is walking now. He is still working on balance but he is doing it all on his own with a few stumbles along the way. He is growing up so fast. Just watching his little short self walk is so cute and brings a smile to my face,something that I am very much in need of at this point in my life.
He also is starting to pick up on his vocabulary,he now says mama, dada,baba,hot,bad,and something that is similar to Kyla lol. Sometimes you just have to slow down on all your daily life activities and stresses and see whats really in front of you and my children help me do that.

Anyway just wanted to give an update on my big boy

The girls are doing great too. Kyla is still loving school and Emma is still wanting nothing to do with it lol. They too are growing so fast and getting so smart and unique each in their own special way. Its amazing how three beings from the same genes can be so different.
