Life Of a Sherry

Our life has been pretty low key recently. We have been going through a trial, but with God we can get through it. Just praying and keeping faith!

So before my birthday I dropped my phone. :( Well thankfully I was planning on getting a new one with my birthday money, well I was finally able to get a new one and I'm so in love with it! I'm so thankful that my hubby lets me spoil myself with my birthday money! 'Cause I know there is other stuff I could have used it on.

Well Arkansas weather cracks me up, it went from one day being have jacket weather to now wearing short sleeves and it being really nice outside. I am not a winter type of person so every little nice day we get I enjoy every min of it!

Whitnee said a funny thing the other day, I was in my room and she was in her room and said something to me, and I said HUH, and she said "Mommy I didn't stutter" it was so funny I couldn't get on to her. Oh the joys of being a mommy and your child saying something they really shouldn't. I just couldn't not laugh.

This past Friday night we went out to Michael's parents house and spent the night. Michael's brother and his wife also came with us. It was really nice to spend the night with them. Then Saturday we had my late birthday celebration since we were all so busy during October.

Michael is off work this week, and I'm so excited 'cause that means I can hopefully get the house deep cleaned so I can put up Christmas stuff the week after. For some reason this year I've been soo ready to put them up. I think it's because Whitnee is bigger and I look forward to seeing her excitement.

Well I hope you all are having a great Nov so far and that your Sunday has been all that you wanted to be!
God Bless!

One of Those Days

It's been a day where I feel defeated. The yucky weather is making the girls very cranky. To add to that Ellie isn't sleeping well. She is rolling her self over and freaking out while she is sleeping. So I go in there to get her and she just wants me to hold her. Well my princess wants me to hold her too. I just feel as if I'm not good enough. I clearly know that I'm doing my best but I still feel as if it's not good enough.

After today I only have tomorrow left with Ellie. I'm gonna miss her, but as I've said before I'm going to enjoy it being Whitnee and I agian. Whitnee and I are gonna go on an adventure to find a cheap umbrella stroller. We are taking a trip in Nov to see my dad and dont want to take the bit stroller with us. Something light weight and little will be great! I've found some on the enternet but they are still like $30 for one that I'm looking for. I'm sure we can find one cheaper.

God is also working on my hubby right now. We really aren't sure how or what but something is going on in that that great big wonderful heart of his! I think I've finnaly convenced him to go back to school! YAY! Go me! He's been wanting me to go but I've been trying to tell him his degree is soo more important then mine 'cause if God moves us to another church they will be looking for that piece of paper. He will be more likely to get into full time ministry if he does have that paper.

Well I think that's all the random thoughts I have for now.. until next time..

Thoughts

I really don't know where to start this blog but I know I need to start it. I know I need to let all the thoughts in my head out. So I guess I'll start from the begining. In June I started watching Ellie, my best friends little girl. Things have been going pretty well. She's soo sweet! Well the last couple of weeks i've been fighting with the emotion of missing my one on one time with Whitnee. We do get some one on one time druing the day while Ellie is napping but not nearly as much as we use to get. I missed being able to go outside with her when ever, I missed going to the park ith her, i've missed going to Walmart with her just because we can and have some time to kill. Whitnee doesn't like being home or well inside. She LOVES to be out and about. Sure we could get out with Ellie but it's so much harder with her still being so little. We didn't even really get out with Whitnee by ourselves when Whitnee was that little it was just to hard.

Next thing I have felt bad about is giving both Whitnee and Ellie they attention they want and need. Both girls need so much attention they are very girly and both need to be center of attention. There is only so much of me to go around and I feel bad for both of them.

I told Ami all of this yesterday and felt soo bad about it! It has nothing to do with them it's all me. I feel as if I need to put me and Whitnee first and I'm not sure how to make someone understand that with out them feeling like it's them or even there child. I also want to be able to enjoy Ellie as she get's older and I want to be someone they can count on to babysit when they need a babysitter. I also don't want Ellie to think of my as the babysitter I want her to think of me as the cool Aunt D.

Mine and Michaels intial thought was to stop watching Ellie in November 'cause the tribute would be paid off so money wouldn't be so tight and that would also give Ami and Guy some time to think about what they are going to do. Today Ami told me that Sept 10th will be the last day I watch her 'cause there is no point in dragging it out. So know I really have to trust that God will provide till Nov since we wont have that extra income. We have done it before so we can do it again as long as we trust in God.

I know what I'm doing is better in the long run. I know that life around the Sherry house will be better 'cause I can spend good time with Whitnee. She is only this little once and I'm only a 1 child mom once and I want to be able to enjoy it and enjoy her. She is at such a fun stage right now! I just love it! I couldn't ask for a better sweet little princess!!

Enough of that.. I feel a little better now getting all that out of my head.
