This has certainly been an interesting month.

Their are times that occur in my life that I wish I could relive over and over, just so I never forget them. Others I wish would go silently away so I didn't have to ever remember for the rest of my life. This month has had many of both.

SOME OF THE BEST MOMENTS OF MAY 09'

6. Tiffany's graduation from Dental school.
   

SOME OF THE WORST MOMENTS OF MAY 09'

1. Having had Jen lose her brother. I feel so sad for her and her family. The pain I just wish I could make go away.
2. The stress of money has been insane.
3. Having child #2 beginning to hit puberty. It is truly a test of endurance on my part and trying to maintain being a good mom. Both with which I am constantly in battle with.
4. The loss of my brothers beloved dog Sebastian.
   

Brady in many ways manages to keep a smile on my face in the face of uncertainty. Tonight trying not to be cranky decided to cook a really good dinner for the family. I made picante chicken w/red bell peppers, honey roasted red potatoes and steamed veggies.

Brady took one look at his plate and said he was not eating. My response was okay but if you don't eat you won't get the swedish fish he desperately wanted for dessert. So he got up from the table and went into his room comes out with his rolling back pack and states that he is packing his bag and running away. He packs his jacket, blankie and we say what else are you taking he tries to grab the swedish fish bag off the counter. I just burst into laughter. We said where are you going to sleep he says I don't know. The dog is biting at his bag the whole time as he is heading for the door, trying to drag it back. I am just quietly thinking this child is a whole other entity all to his own. My other two never dreamed of the things Brady already has at 3. We say to Brady we will miss you horribly if you leave. He eventually agrees not to leave and we make a compromise on dinner. He ate half his plate and managed to get the fish that caused the uproar in the first place.

Well as this month quickly is coming to a close I am anxious to see what June will hold for us. I am praying for incredible weather and lots of fun times outside, enjoying it all with my family. With a lot more smiles and a lot less crying and screaming. Only time will tell.
