Loving your job!

So my husband is solid proof how life can be so much better if you love your job! He is always so pumped to head to the field and teach others to play soccer. When we first met he really knew he wanted to be coaching and teaching, but he was always afraid- "the man brings home the bacon"- lol. He just knew that he wanted to make me happy and be with me, then we were both sure we wanted a family, after Payton was born he was sure God was sending him signs. So now that he has just about finished up school and is back in soccer- he is the happiest man ever. It just goes to show, what you really want to do every day can make a difference in every aspect of your life. I guess I would really love being a detective or photography. I love it both- I love watching SVU-Law and Order and figuring out it all, mystery movies are my fav. So Anthony has been on this kick of telling me I should do what I love, but I really love spending time with my babies so quiting my job to become Sherlock Holmes would prob not work out all that great. Anyway, just happy for him, so great to hear his voice every day on his way to practise, so excited!!! And he always tells me how he made the kids run and it was fun because he has prob ran triple what they have- anyway too cute and I sure love him and happy his life is complete. I learned from a friends blog to do something great for your spouse today, something he would love so I think I will head to get him a calzone (such an italian boy) and maybe a card (he will just throw away) to tell him how much I love and care about him. Thanks C for the advise!

Paying it forward....

So after being sad all day about the people in Haiti and thinking about them so much yesterday, I had a horrible dream we would have a huge tornado this spring and the world would end- yes I know it is not the greatest thing to dream about. However, it made me get up this morning in a great mood (Brayden sleeping through the night always helps) and I paid it forward- not too big of a deal, but did a great deed and it made me feel good. So many people come together end of Summer early Fall to help with the Buddy Walk, paying it forward is def no problem. I just hope it makes a difference in at least half the people I do it for and they pay it forward as well. I want my kids to learn to do good for others! I want them to be able to think it is a daily routine to help others in need (but using cautious too).

Little Payton had a great date night with daddy, they attended gymobree and had dinner at KFC, not her fav place but anything with mashed potatoes will do, lol. She came home and I was so very excited to see her, as I got on my knees to reach out for a hug, she stood stern as ever next to her daddy and shook her head saying "no"- broke my heart!! I was like "why payton, mommy missed you", she in a very sweet voice with a little giggle "my dada" as she patted him on the leg. Oh how cute they are- it literally brought tears to my eyes. When we got pg with Brayden, although we are grateful for whatever God gives us, we really hoped for a boy, yes maybe one day God will decide Payton needs a sister- however I think she is our one and only special little girl. How excited were we knowing we were having a boy, not just because of Payton- but because mommy wanted a mommy's boy as well. And of course that is exactly what he is. He is all grins with hims mommy and didn't make a peep all through dollar general visit last night, nor when we got home and I changed or even when he took his breathing treatment. He is the sweetest little boy and for the most part if his mommy is in view- he is just fine.

Both of my kids are pretty good- Payton loves her daddy and Brayden loves hims mommy. I know we will be blessed Payton will be close to us forever, but I hope I am not one of those crazy moms with Brayden who just wants to follow him anywhere even if he gets married and moves out of state- lol.

Pumped about this weekend, here lately I have been kind of wierd about leaving the kids- I just want to at least be in the same house with them at all times. But Saturday getting my hair done, spending time with family for an important birthday and Sunday I am going to use my Christmas gift cards all by myself- maybe I will take one of the kids, lolololol. Anyway that is the plan and looking forward to it. All mommy's need some time to their selves and to be honest I am a very good mommy when I get some time away. Next week is Pay's and I "mommy and me" photo shoot for the 2011 calendar and I don't have a clue what I am wearing, yikes.
