ALYSSA UPDATE

Alyssa has had an eventful 24 hours. We arrived at the emergency room after 4pm yesterday. Within a few hours we found Alyssa had appendicitis. This morning she had her appendix removed. She is home resting now. We have to follow up with the surgeon and a gynecologist for an issue that was discovered in surgery.
Overall she is doing well. Thank you to our support system and for your thoughts and prayers!

Alyssa, Bella and Anthony are all well. We are looking forward to seeing family for the holiday's. I miss Bobby's mom and brother we always have a good time. I get to spend time with my family and look forward to it. God thank you for allowing me to see another birthday and holiday!

My blog

I am reflective today that it has been a year and half since I started this blog. There are many parts of that time that are a blur. Things happened so quickly and I have endured so much. I wanted to help people with this blog. The one thing you may notice is my journey with God. There are days were I feel weak and days where I am very strong. The key to remember is the road to God is not perfect. It is an ever evolving journey. The point is that you seek him. I seek him each and everyday! Not that I always make the right decisions but they are decisions made with the best I have at that moment. As I read and learn and listen to God my journey changes. I pray for each of you that God gives you peace in your life.

Priceless

It is priceless watching your children grow. Yesterday I watched Alexa wash her hands as she sang Happy Birthday to her self twice. I taught her to sing it twice to make sure her hands get clean. I watched Anthony and Bella sing to the baby dolls "Go to sleep sweet baby". Just as I sing to them. Alyssa told me she admires the spark in my eye! I watched her sit at the table and try so hard on her homework and then play with her siblings. Jake prayed in our family prayer so mature and blessed. He really makes me say WOW!
I love being in the middle of all the kids and enjoying each moment but sometimes it is nice to step back and enjoy the view. I am very proud of my children and the little person's they are becoming.
Please join us each day in a prayer for peace in all situations life may bring us. God did not promise the easy road to heaven. I will stand firm in God. I stand firm in each and every situation in my family.
It is all temporary.

Results and Reality

Well I still have my mammogram to go but I got my lung results. My lung is not better but it is stable. I will take that!!! I was very concerned with all the unnecessary stress I have been under lately.
I am amazed people want so desperately to hurt other people that they do not think of the children that are involved.
I am just a mom loving, nurturing, caring and raising my children. When do others realize that the children need to be the focus. They are real human beings with feelings.
They need their MOMMY to be healthy and here for them.
When do you stop blaming other people for the life you have created for yourself. May God forgive you for not taking care of your responsibilities and help you find direction in your life. Wasting time being angry and in denial you are missing out on God's gifts that he gave to you.
May God grant peace to this situation.
