American Honey

Saturday, June 11, 2011

When I was younger, I wanted to be an actress. Really, really, bad. I also wanted to be in broadcast journalism. My first step. Achieving a dream. If they were at one point the dreams and plans I had for my life, why can't they STILL be my aspirations now? Look out world, you haven't seen the best of me yet! Step one, achieving my dreams. Okay, maybe that's like step 12. Step one really needs to be learning to stand up straight. I've been blind sided by a low blow. Picking myself up and dusting myself off is really step one. Easier said then done. There have been a few days when I've felt as though I could conquer the world. But there are others that kick my ass. Life is hard, life is super-duper hard. And I for one don't want to be the loser in this situation. Talk is easy. But actually doing all these things is going to be hard, but I'm a wildflower... no rose no daisy can touch what I got!
I went to dinner with a friend tonight, and she asked me a good question. "Have you seen anyone not make it?" No, everyone I know that has a curve ball thrown at them, has made it. Encouraging. This is not the path I had laid out for my life. But that doesn't mean it has to be bad. I can make my life even more awesome than it was before. Wanna watch me?

This is inspiring. I think you should really pursue this. Will you go to college to pursue these careers? If you do... do it the traditional way and not online. Go into those classrooms and meet new fresh faced people. Aspire, Seek, and Attain! I am watching. God Bless.

You Make Me Smile

The funny things my kids say on a daily basis that make me smile.

Tavin 08/05/2012
That's President Obama!

Tavin 10/18/2011
Laying on my bed, he was looking at my Victoria's Secret catalog. He turns the page, and points, that pitty gul, that pitty gul, that pitty gul. They start early! PS it was the winter clothing catalog, no bras and panties, the models were fully clothed.

Tavin 10/16/2011
"No, you crazy!"

Tavin 09/20/2011
Kailey and Tavin were bathing together. Tavin leans back in against the tub wall and puts his hands behind his head and says, "How was your day?" When did he grow up?!!

Kailey and Andre 07/25/2011
Walking around the commissary and Kailey says, while hanging on the front if the shopping cart, "Mommy, I'm your GPS. Turn. Left." And Andrew chimes in, "In two miles." Hehe, they make me smile!!

Andrew 07/16/2011
The kids and I were looking at my baby book. Me, "My first word was drink." Kailey, "What was your second word?" Andrew, without missing a beat, "Oh crap." enough said.

Tavin 07/09/11
"My legs broken", he says falling to the floor not wanting to walk.

Andrew 07/05/11
"Mommy, do you know why there are so many bad people in China?" Me, "No, buddy, why?" Andrew, "Ninja's" I still giggle when I think about it.

Kailey 06/12/2011
We went to have our nails painted and as we sat under the lights to let them dry, Kailey says "Mommy, I'm the cutest girl in here." Who can argue with that???

"Why?", "Why?", "Why"? "*SIGH*

Kailey 06/08/2001
"Mommy, how come there isn't summer break in Georgia?" "There is Kailey, what do you mean?" "Then how come Rain Rain and Pop Pop don't have summer break?"

Andrew 06/03/2011
"Mama, Kailey just said a bad word.", "What word was that?" "She called me a crazy head." "That's not a bad word, you are a crazy head!" followed by unstoppable giggles.

Kailey 05/28/2011
"Woooowwwww, Mommy, are we in Paris??", "No, Kailey, we are in Paducah, Kentucky."
