A Fabulously Flawed Life

I've got to give a huge thanks and shout out to Lynn from For Love or Funny for sending Drake this darling Monster applique t-shirt . He saw it on Tip Junkie while I was uploading it and went crazy over it. Lynn thoughtfully send it to him! Can you believe that? He's worn it 2 days in a row and I finally convinced him that the monster needs to take a bath.

This week I took Davis to the orthodontist and on the way there he told me that he had told his teacher he didn't have any friends. His teacher let him go to the counselor to talk about it. Naturally, I has devastated because I thought his relationships were stronger than ever. {{dooh}} I asked him if something happened at school and he said that it's not the girls, it's the boys. I probed him with a couple more questions and he said, "I can't remember". Anyway, on our way home I finally got out of him that the boys at school play and trade these toys and you have to have one in order to be in their group. I told him that I was really proud of him for asking for help from his teacher and he did the right thing. However, his teachers can't buy him Bakugan's , and he needs to tell me so I can take care of him. I turned the car around and headed over to Target to get the latest 4th grade trading craze.

I've been crazy busy organizing these new products for the only daughter I'll ever know, Executive Homemaker .

Months ago I read a great post from CrazyMama where she talked about the words in her home. I loved the post and haven't forgotten about it. I'm finally taking the time to feature the words in my home. "Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect. It means you decide to see beyond the imperfections." Years ago, when I was in my "self-discovery" phase I read my Self-Confidence Formula and my Creed for Self-Discipline out loud daily. (No, I'm not kidding. ha ha) I can't help but laugh remembering those days. They were filled with self-doubt, a lot of anger, and concern for the future. That time in my life was dark but completely necessary. "Today's test is tomorrow's testimony." Back in the day Dr. Phil and I were BFF's ! Yet, here I am today purged of past hurts, trauma, and guilt. I relied on the Lord to help me heal and really took that time seriously. As a result I guess I've subconsciously filled my home with r...
