Stupid momma...

...yes you read it right, "stupid momma"!!  This sweet little face actually said those two words!! 

Tuesday night I told Wilkins to pick up all her toys and get ready for bed and I am guessing that isn't what she wanted to hear.  She started whining and walking down the hall to her bedroom.  I am assuming she didn't realize I was behind her because as soon as she walked in her bedroom she was crying and said "stupid momma"!!  I thought for sure that my ears were deceiving me (total shock) so I said "did you just call me stupid" and that sweet little child you see in this picture said "yes"!!  I absolutely could not believe it?!  I was completely dumbfounded and I am still a little in shock right now righting about it.  I then did the mommy thing and got down to her level and explained that she should never call anyone stupid ESPECIALLY her momma.  And then I did what my mom done to me I spanked her little legs.  It was hard to do...she is normally a pretty good kid.  I mean she has a big attitude and all but normally nothing like this.  She cried very little and I made her apologize and I thought for sure she will NEVER say that again!

WRONG!!  She did it again last night!  Can you believe it?!  So we did the whole cycle again...really a 3 year old?!  I thought for sure I had a couple more years before I had to start dealing with stuff like this!!  Oh please pray for me cause I have a feeling I am gonna need lots over the next 15 years!!!

Its only getting harder...

and harder. 

I knew that LeAnne moving was going to be hard but I never realized how hard it has and is going to be.  I literally cry at the thought of them moving.  I cry because i am not going to see the kids on a regular basis.  I cry when I talk about it with mom and Haley.  I cry when the kids mention moving.  I just didn't realize it would be so hard before they even packed anything up.

Will has been with us for the past couple of days and I have come to the realization that he doesn't really get it.  He said something about moving and said that they were going to come back to Murfreesboro every weekend.  I cried while I explained to him that he wouldn't be coming back every weekend.  I sobbed after I got done talking to him (he couldn't see me) because I know how much he is going to miss living here and being around Lucas, Logan, and Wilkins.  And how Levi won't even remember being around Will as he gets older except for on holidays and special occasions. 

This is, by far, the hardest thing I have had to go through in quite sometime.  I got boxes for LeAnne from work yesterday and I cried while I put them in my car.  I want them to be happy but I also want to be completely selfish at the same time.  Is that even possible?!  I know I am rambling but this is where my thoughts are leading me.

I never thought when I scheduled my vacation (starts tomorrow) that it would be to help my sister pack!  I really don't know if I can.  I don't know if I can help put the boxes in the car and watch them drive off to Alabama.  (once again the tears are rolling down my face)  I know some people may think that we are nuts for being so emotional about this but if you know us you know that my sisters are not only sisters...they are truly my best friends.  I feel like my arm is being ripped from my body...my heart hurts so bad right now. 

Saturday is getting here way too soon...it doesn't look like things are going to change.  It looks like it is going to happen after all.  For all of you in Alabama, LeAnne is an acquired taste.  She can be the most impatient pain in the butt and have you laughing so hard you are crying.  She is not always the most tactful person in the world but she has a good heart.  She can yell and scream at her kids all she wants but she will lay down her life for any of them. 

I can't type anymore right now because I have tears and snot rolling down my face (I know...GROSS) and I just need to get myself together.  Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers for the next week or so cause it ain't getting any easier...

Where does time go?!

A day of shopping...just me, mom, LeAnne, Addy, and Wilkins

Some very random pictures and some very fun times in the past month...

Seems like most are centered around LeAnne but she is typically the life of the party especially late at night.  These are the times I am gonna miss most when she moves to Alabama.  It's not like she will just be 5 minutes down the road so we won't be staying up to all hours of the night doing crazy stuff!  The closer it gets the harder is getting.  I really can't imagine not seeing her every day (and yes we do see each other just about every day).  I am gonna miss her, Haley, and all the kids popping up at my work for breakfast.  Life is not gonna be the same...what is Wilkins going to do without her Yaya?!  What am I gonna do without Addy?!  It's not that she is my pick but she has always been my baby...before I had Wilkins I had Addy.  When Wilkins was born and I was on maternity leave Addy stayed with me almost every day...

Y'all will think this is crazy but there are literally tears running down my face as I type all this.  Will, Wilkins, and Addy are laying on a blanket in the floor watching a movie and I am sitting here crying like a goofball because they are gonna be gone in two weeks or less.  I really thought things would work out to where they wouldn't move but I guess I was mistaken.  Bryson got the holy ghost this week at Smyrna and I thought to myself, "This is what needed to happen to keep them here" but it doesn't look like that is going to work.  I am so proud of Bryson but I worry so much about him moving to such a bigger church with a bigger crowd.  I know if he was here he wouldn't ever get looked over because of the small crowd.   

Enough rambling for me...who knows what the future holds?!  We can't predict it...what I do know is the next couple of weeks is only going to get harder so please keep all of us in your prayers because we desperately need it...
