My sweet Valentine

writing out her valentine's.

I get valentines from brae nearly daily!

She spoils me with love notes.

Love it!

I could write a list a mile long about jeremy and all the sweet and thoughtful

things he does for me on a daily basis but i wouldn't want you ladies to

be too jealous! ;)

When Daddy is home

Nothing like when Daddy is home.

Jeremy has been working out of town and is now home.

The first week was really hard for Braelyn.

She cried herself to sleep every night cause she missed Jeremy so much.

But as weeks passed it has gotten easier.

When he would come home to visit this is how it would be.

She wanted to be as close to him as possible.

As you can see.

He took off his boots and she took of her boots

 and put them tight next to his.

She had to eat right next to him,

 eat what he was eating,

 put her drink right next to his.

Everything the same.

She wanted to be two peas in a pod with her Dad.

Terrible MOM

I felt like a terrible mom yesterday.

I mean really terrible mom.

Maybe some of you can relate.

I sat down on a chair and before I knew it I had fallen asleep.

I awoke to see that it was 2:25.

School got out at 2:20.

By the time I got there it was 2:35.

Brae and her teacher  were all that was left.

I totally wanted to cry.

I apologized profusely to her teacher.

Still words didn't seem to make a difference.

Brae cried and said I was worried about you Mom.

Now I know why when I was a kid my Mom would pick me up

and be crying.

I would be the last kid out there.

She would just feel so bad and I would say that it wasnt a big deal.

Brae said to me to stop saying sorry
that it was ok which made me feel even worse.

I'm still feeling bad about it today...
When things like that happen I always question myself
as a mom, a wife, a friend.
I feel incompetent.
Then I have to remember that I made a mistake and that
I am allowed to make those every once in awhile.
