American Honey: I'm there

I'm there

So, I'm there. As I was driving home from school today, an old song came on the radio. Dixie Chicks, 'You Were Mine'. And to my surprise, and my hearts surprise, no tears. My heart didn't drop, and I didn't even think about my past and the way I thought things should be. I'm there.

This man is the father of my three beautiful babies, and that I will be forever grateful. But I'm there. I'm ready.

I'm going to school. Not to prove a point to anyone, not even to show my kids the right thing to do. I'm doing it for me, completely selfish! Cause, I'm there.

It's been a loooooooooong, rocky road. But everything worth doing, is worth fighting. And this has been an uphill battle. Still is, but, I'm there.

Thank you Mommy and Daddy. Without those two showing me what true unconditional love is, I wouldn't be here!

I am one lucky lady! One lucky Sassy Kimmilicious!!

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."
