Ready for vacation...

...so I know it has been quiet a while since I have posted anything but I have been pretty busy!!  I feel like we are constantly on the go...

It is only a week until we leave for Disney and I am super excited not only to be going to Disney but just to be getting away from work!!  I literally only have 5 more days to work before we leave!!!  Unfortunately, the shifts I have to work are some pretty crappy shifts...I have to go in at midnight til 9am tomorrow and then close Thursday and Friday.

People think that it is expensive going to Disney but truth be told it is more expensive getting outfits together (especially when it is a girl)!!

I have pretty much got all of Wilkins' clothes together and your jaw will drop when I tell you how many pairs of shoes I am taking for her...wait for it...

17 PAIRS!!

Not that I owe anyone an explanation but I will give one anyway.  She has a different pair of shoes for every outfit, almost (different colors/styles).  She has two outfits for everyday (cause who knows what could happen)!  You just wait she will be the cutest little DIVA at Disney World and you will see the importance of the numerous pairs of shoes with matching bracelets, earrings, and hair bows.

Now if only I could get my own stuff packed and ready!!  I have a feeling that I will be packing at the last minute.  

I will try to post the fun filled days while we are there...

Cleaning is never ending...

I just got home from an 11 hour day and I haven't stopped yet.  I know that if I even remotely sit down for 2 seconds I will not be getting back up!!  I know I am not the only mom out there but I am just exhausted and need to vent a little.

I have been working a crazy amount of hours the last couple of months and it is time well invested in the future of my career.  I just feel like I need a break but I can't turn my brain off even when I am a way from work!! 

I will say that Wilkins has been doing a very good job the last couple of days picking up after herself which is huge (for all you that are moms you know what I mean).  At first it was a fight every night before bed to clean up her toy room or when we come in the house to take her shoes to her closet but not now.  All I have to do now is just remind her and listen to her say "yes mam mommy"....music to my ears!! 

I know it has been a while but that's all I got time for right now...

It's been so long....

....since I have blogged!  The problem is I have been in kind of a funk lately.  I have put off blogging because I really haven't had anything great to talk about but you all read the good things so now you will have to read the not so good things.

I am sure you have all heard by now that LeAnne is moving back to Alabama :(

I, of course, don't want her to move but if it is what is meant to be then I can accept it.  I can't imagine her not living right down the road and I can't imagine not seeing the kids basically every single day (tears)!!  What breaks my heart the most is that Wilkins won't have her Yaya here.  She is so attached to LeAnne and I know that once LeAnne moves almost 3 hours away the relationship between them won't be the same.  It won't be like it was when she lived there before because now all of her kids will be in school, I work and go to school full time so we can't just pick up and go when we want to. 

I, only hope and pray that one day they will move back to Tennessee.  What is meant to be will be.  That's my motto...if things aren't working out smoothly then maybe you are going against God's plan.  Things come together when it is right.

On to something else now...I am contemplating getting my own place.  Those of you who don't know I live in the upstairs of my parent's house.  When Wilkins was small it just made more sense because my mom was coming to my house @ 4am so that I could go to work.  Though my hours haven't really changed Wilkins is a little older and it is time for us to strike out on our own.  Without the help of my mom and my sisters I wouldn't even be able to work where I work so now I am weighing out my options.  If I have to be at work at 5am then can I stand taking Wilkins to my mom's to spend the night?!  I am just going to see what happens for now...if it is meant to be it will.

My mind is all over the place right now with work, school, and home.  Such big decisions to be made that I am afraid I might make the wrong one.  Trying to find the path that is right for Wilkins and myself....
