For Emily

I heard this song the other day and found the Lyrics and this song is dedicated to you Emily. Here are the lyrics and if you go down to my playlist at the bottom you can find "Superwoman" and play it.

Lyrics to Superwoman :
Everywhere I'm turning
Nothing seems complete
I stand up and I'm searching
For the better part of me
I hang my head from sorrow
Slave to humanity
I wear it on my shoulders
Gotta find the strength in me

Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

For all the mothers fighting
For better days to come
And all my women, all my women sitting here trying
To come home before the sun
And all my sisters
Coming together
Say yes I will
Yes I can

Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

When I'm breaking down
And I can't be found
And I start to get weak
Cause no one knows
Me underneath these clothes
But I can fly
We can fly, Oooohh

Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

It pays to watch TV

So last night I had left the TV on and the news came on after Jeopardy (yes I watch it). Well I heard them talking about the Smart Shopper Deal of the Day which was to get $50 worth of Thanksgiving Groceries for Free. Then I saw that the first 50 people to show their smart shopper card at 4 different Albertson's locations would get the free groceries. Well just my luck one of the Locations was right by my house so I rushed to the computer and printed out a card and then went to Albertson's. I was the 37th person in line so I got $50 in free groceries. It was so great, I spent the time in line waiting talking to the sweetest Lady who is in her 90's.

Quote Day

I thought a good theme for my quote today is courage. I believe that Emily is such an example of courage. I know it is so hard what she has to do.

"Courage takes many forms. There is physical courage, there is moral courage. Then there is a still higher type of courage- the courage to brave pain, to live with it, to never let others know of it and to still find joy in life; to wake up in the morning with an enthusisasm for the day ahead."
~ Howard Cosell

"If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it."


"It takes great faith and courage to pray to our Heavenly Father, “Not as I will, but as thou wilt.” The faith to believe in the Lord and endure brings great strength. Some may say if we have enough faith, we can sometimes change the circumstances that are causing our trials and tribulations. Is our faith to change circumstances, or is it to endure them?..... Faith in the Lord includes trust in the Lord. The faith to endure well is faith based upon accepting the Lord’s will and the lessons learned in the events that transpire."
~Elder Robert D. Hales

Oh Kids

So I put my kids down for a nap, (they were both being pills) I was watching a movie downstairs (since I have a mini Migraine ugh) I had a thought come to mind that I should go and check on my kids. I get to their room and I hear water so I rush in there and they were both in the bath with the tub full of water almost spilling over. Yes they were naked and just having a grand ole time! Man scary and maddening at the same time. When Brayden has an idea he will not let go of it until he gets what he wants!

Quote

So I decided to write the Lyrics to a song for my quote day. I was trying to find the song to have it play on my blog page but I was unable to do so. This is by Rob Gardner it is called "You have Nothing to Fear" I suggest anyone who has not heard it go and look it up and listen to it, it is a beautiful song.

You Have Nothing To Fear

Text by Rob Gardner


You have nothing to fear from the journey,
Though your way may be burdened by thorns.
For the Lord will be with you each step of the way
As you travel with faith through the storm.
And you've nothing to fear from your trials,
Though they may seem too heavy to bear.
Take His hand and He'll lead you gently along
And you'll find peace and safety there.

There is nothing to fear from the nights that are lonely,
There's nothing to fear from the cold!
There is nothing to fear from what might be tomorrow,
For heaven is with you, And angels watch over His fold.

You have nothing to fear from the journey,
Though your body is tired and worn.
For the Lord will send angels to lift up your arms
And He'll carry the burden you've born.
And you've nothing to fear from your suff'ring,
Nor the grief you've been called on to bear,
Take His hand and He'll lead you gently along
And you'll find peace and safety there.

Happy Birthday Eliza

Yesturday was Eliza's birthday, I have pictures but have not downloaded them yet and my sister has some also. She turned 2. I cannot believe that my baby is two! Man how time flies. She is talking so much now. When she is whining I will tell you to use her words and she will say to me "words" She is currently afraid of my Brother in law Blake. He would growl at her and she would get scared and say "I'm scared" then whenever she would see him she would say "mean" She had a good birthday just some cake and ice cream, some of my dad's family came over which was fun and Em and the kids came over. She loved all her presents, right now her and Brayden are playing with her dishes and magnets. Here are some pics of my baby girl!

Farewell

Sadly on Nov. 1st my beloved brother passed away. I have been thinking for days of what I should write. I am very sad for the loss. I know that Jeff would want happy memories so I am going to post a few things about Jeff.

He always made me laugh, whether because he was so funny or just being so silly. He always gave such great and personal gifts, he really thought about it. For graduation he gave us girls some mase, which shows how much he cares about us. Free was always excited when Jeff would call and ask if he wanted to go to a movie with him. Or if there was a movie I did not want to see but Free did I would just tell him to call Jeff and he would get excited and call him. Free said to me "Who am I going to see movies with now?" Jeff loved BBQ's and we loved going to them, he called us quite a bit to come over and have a BBQ. We would stay till sometimes 1 in the morning. Sometimes we would play Texa's Hold ' em and it would get so late that we would all become punch drunk and just say the silliest comments and laugh at everything! While he was in the hospital one of the times he heard that my back was hurting and he texted me to ask if I was okay and when we were there visiting him he was so worried that my back was hurting. He just cares so much for his family, always worrying more about them them himself. He was always worrying about Emily and the kids. When Brayden was younger and crawling he always would go to Jeff. He would crawl to Jeff. When Jeff would walk into the room Brayden would holds his hands out the Jeff. I could go on and on. Jeff was such a wonderful, Caring Brother and he will be greatly missed. I am not the most eloquent person with words so I am going to copy some words that my cousin David wrote:


"I was moved by the love that was shown during those hours. I don't know of anything that can be purer than a mother's and a wife's love, nor can there be anything so exquisite as their grief. I saw the courage of a father and the tender kindness of a sister. I witnessed the bonds of affection that tie family together, knotted with the peace and promise of a reunion scheduled for all eternity.

Jeff's struggle on earth is over. His course is finished, his battle through. With all the strength and tenacity that Jeff showed, it is now our turn to fight through this trial. The empty days and long hours will stretch until they seem unbearable to those who for so long traveled with Jeff along life's paths."

We Love you Jeff!
