I was just going through some pictures and I realized I have really aged in the past few years.It seems like I have really aged after my third child, I was 34 when I had her, pregnancy wasn't as easy as the other ones. I have been pregnant a total of 5 times, (miscarry in 1998 and stillborn in 2002). I guess stress and worry could play a big role in the aging process. I don't think anyone likes the thought of getting old or looking old. We don't realize how fast time goes until you look at pictures and think back into the past. It seems like it's only been about 10 years ago since I was a teenager in school... and then it smacks me in the face when i look at my son and realize it has been almost 20 years. He will be 20 years old in February...I don't feel like I'm almost 40, (I won't say that in the morning though...) I think I'm still in my 20's until the young ones come around...they seem like babies these days. I never acted that immature when i was their age...really i didn't, i was a mom at 16.  
People today..well, teens today take life for granted. We are only here for a very short time and you better make something of the time you have. These teenagers think life is all about sex and drugs...(we'll leave the rock and roll out of this one..lol) Just take a moment when you haven't gotten anything to do and look at the regional jail inmates...check out their ages and what they look like, drugs make a 20 year old look like they are almost 50...I usually glance through the ages and pick one that is close to my age and i would never guess they were as young as me. Its awful to think that their life is so bad that they have to stay completely messed up all the time. It's sad to be honest.
I have had many lectures about drugs to my son and I can only pray that he realizes that he is important in this world and someone somewhere was or will be influenced by him, I try to teach my kids to be a role model because they are few and far between these days, there's not a lot of positive role models left. So far I am very proud of the man my son is and who he is becoming. I can only hope that he will talk to his future children and never shut up about what is right and wrong, no matter if they have heard it before...tell them again. 
I have turned this post into something I wasn't expecting it to be but that is me, I am always getting off the subject...maybe thats why my phone conversations last for hours...hmmm...maybe i do talk to much.
well anyway here is the pictures i stumbled across....lol   Not getting old...just wiser. 
1980... (I'm on the left).  age 2'ish
 
2001...age  23...6 years after my first child, (I'm on the left again.)

2009..age 31...5 years after my second child




2013...age 35...6 months after my third child and before the hair cut...lol












 2013...age 35...7 months after my third child and after the hair cut,,,lol 

This is the most i have ever weighed...but I am now on the road to weight loss and growing out my hair, I was about 170 lbs in the last picture here.  I am making progress, slowly but surely...I now weigh between 145 and 150 lbs (I cut out the junk food and dark pop). My hair is  not as long as I wish it would be, but it is getting there...I will never cut it again!...LOL. I liked my hair short but where I have naturally curly hair it's a hassle to keep it straightened, especially when it was that short. 

P.S. (I absolutely hate taking pictures of myself...so not into the whole "selfie" thing. A whole different generation for me).

The power of prayer

 We were taught, as kids, to pray for things the we want to see, have or what we want to turn out. So many prayers seem as though they go unanswered but God will only grant you what you see yourself worthy of. Imagination is a powerful thing. Everything we see that was built by man started in a mind first, a dream, or a desire.  God is our father. If I wanted to give my child something they longed for and they turned their head in shame as though they were not worthy of it, it would break my heart. How would I know they really needed it if they didn’t ask for it or seen themselves worthy of having it? Turn to your father, ask for forgiveness, not just because you have done wrong but ask for forgiveness that you feel the shame inside, the regret, the missed opportunities that you gave up. Ask for forgiveness that you never had faith that God was leading you all long and you ignored the blessings because someone told you that you weren’t worthy. Know your worth and give thanks t...

Everyone wants to be rich...Just another complaint session..ha ha

I was watching  " How'd you get so rich" and it got me thinking....ha ha..here I go again thinking.  I really don't think I would want to be rich...yeah maybe have a little extra money to play with, but to be a millionaire or billionaire...no!!  In order to be rich you would have to take money from someone else, like people  who are hard working, living paycheck to paycheck, or people paying for something they will never really own. The Lottery for instance...some people spend several dollars a week on the lottery in hopes to be rich, or just a few dollars richer...they (lottery) are making a killing off of that few dollars a week...The same goes for these gambling places...People spend their whole paychecks on a machine!!! They are not stupid!!...you can't get rich from those machines...but I'll guarantee that they are getting rich from your hard earned money!!! The $100-$200 pair of jeans...come on people don't tell me you spend that on jeans?? ...

I Miss Me!

 It's been almost 6 years since I last wrote about anything.  So much has happened since then.  I love to write, not saying I'm a novelist, (one of my unrealistic goals), but to me, it's the same has having a conversation. I love to talk... about life, dreams, the unknown, how life works and why things happen or exist.  I really enjoy figuring out complex behaviors or solutions to ailments.  Long story short...I think I just enjoy learning and understanding.  Somewhere in the past, I left myself behind.  Who am I now? where did the old me go? why did I change? I would describe my inner self as caring, funny, creative, artist, crafty, fun, talkative, loved to dance, write, talk to anyone kind of woman.  (... that word alone makes me feel old...but 'girl' is too young and "lady" is too proper to describe me lol...Ugg) anyway... I was that person, not so much anymore. I tend to shy away from being outgoing to more reserved or "shadowed" is a better ...
