Thoughtful Thursday

Please don't think that I'm a bad mother by not responding to my child's cry of, "I want you!" There are just days when you know that is manipulation. This has been happening all day and just thought I would share one of the reasons that us mothers seem to have lost our minds on many days. :)

This is actually a pretty rare occurrence around here, so I had to share!

29 Years Old!

My birthday was yesterday and it was a great day! I went to Ladies' Bible Class in the morning and then spent the afternoon with my girls. At 3:30pm I had a 90 minute massage! It was heavenly!! :)

Apparently, while I was gone, Jayden had been complaining that her tummy was hurting so the babysitter had given her some laxative. She had started complaining as soon as I left (3:15) and

when I got home she was still hurting. She would randomly cry out in pain. It was awful! I finally decided that when Travis got home, we were going to take her to the doctor. So, Travis got home and the babysitter came about the same time. (We had another babysitter come so that we could go out for my birthday dinner.) Travis and I loaded up Jayden in the car and started driving. About the time we pull into the parking lot at the hospital (doctor's office was closed) Jayden cries out one more time and lets out the biggest TOOT I have ever heard come out of her! And then...she was ALL better! That is right... I almost took my daughter to the ER for GAS!!!!! Ugh...

My birthday dinner still happened! We took Jayden home and went out. Travis took me out to my traditional birthday place...RED LOBSTER!! Woohoo!!! It was good to get out and spend time with my hubby. We had some time to go walk around at Bed, Bath & Beyond after dinner. I love spending time with Travis no matter what we are doing!

Kenley has the stomach bug that the rest of us had the last couple of weeks. :( Poor kid! We thought we got her out of the house in time to avoid it, but apparently her tummy is giving her issues!

God please give my babies a rest from the sicknesses going around!

Halloween and New Business

Hello World!

I know it has been a long time, but isn't that I have been starting all of my posts lately?! Okay...please leave a comment when you read this so that I know people are still out there reading my blog. Sometimes I feel like I'm writing and posting out into the internet world and no one is out there still reading. I don't blame those who have given up on me, but I need a little reassurance that my mother-in-law is not the only one who still wants to know what is going on!! I would still post just for you Mimi!! :)

Halloween was a blast! We only got a few pictures of the evening, but the only reason we have ANY pictures is our dear friend Tong! My camera went missing, along with the memory card holding all of my pictures for September and October. :( We have looked high and low, in all cars, at the homes of friends and family. No camera! I'm thinking it fell out of my car (not sure how that hunk of a camera could fall and me now hear or see it) or someone took it. It makes me sad, but I got a new camera today! Yay!

Okay...on to the important stuff...pictures of the girls last night!

Our sweet girls did so well! They really had a blast and went straight to sleep when we got home! It was great! :)

I guess the biggest news for our family recently is that I am now working! I am now an Independent Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay! I'm so excited about my new business and I am really having fun with it! I have some big goals, so if you are interested in helping me out, leave a comment, email me, call, text, or whatever!

My website is www.marykay.com/janakaymcham and my email is janakaymcham@marykay.com!

Stay tuned as I will try to post more often (I say that every time too) and I hope to post my goals and success for my business!
