I'll Cut You

So how is life treating everyone? It is going good in the Timoteo house. I just came from Baton Rouge to see my family and now they are coming tomorrow. I am so excited. Of course the reason she is coming is because I have to have surgery. Don't worry folks. Nothing major, only minor, but I have one of those great moms that is coming over to take care of me. So even though I will be drugged, I get to see her. I would have surgery once a month just to see her. This surgery is suppose to help with infertility. I am so trying not to get my hopes up. I hate it when doctors give you this little glipse of hope. It is like Christmas night that takes months to come, only usually Santa forgets to so up. So what is everyones vacation plans? We don't know ours right now. Everything is up in the air. So we will see, but I hope we get to go on a few little vacations. I love to travel!!

Nothing is going on tonight really. I am making tacos. Milton is at work until late. I am watching Reba and then "So You Think You Can Dance" Then off to bed.

What A Day!!

Okay, so today was kind of crappy. Sorry for using such strong language but that is how I feel. Somedays it is so hard to work with teenagers. They are these little smart mouth monsters barging in and demanding things like you owe it to them. This new job is more of a struggle than what I thought it would be. When I worked in the hospital, I had a knacked for it. It came to me naturally. Helping people come up with a plan for life changing illnesses was something that I loved. Grief counseling was easy because I could offer that shoulder to cry on. However, working with teenagers has not come as natural to me. I find myself wanting to lecture rather than listen. I find myself wanting to teach rather than learn....having expectation rather than just supporting their decisions. How much help can I really be in this mind frame? So I decided to turn a new leaf. I decided to be the one bright smile in their day and mean it. I am a therapist...I am here to heal, not to be one more adult in there life that they can not talk to.

So the day started off crappy but ended with the best surprise. I came home to my husband (the good looking man above) cooking me dinner. He sat me outside on my new patio chair and had me relax while he did it all. Here is the menu...hamburgers, brauts, corn on the cob, and french fries. He even had music playing. After dinner, he completely cleaned up all by himself. Then he sat me on the couch and brought me a pillow and turned on my favorite TV show. So I came home all stressed out and within an hour I was completely relaxed. So to quote my coworker Alesha ..."You (or I) have the best husband." Thank goodness for my great husband who is so willing to serve just to help me relax. And guess where he is now...out working. He is so unselfish. I am so glad to have had the past 7 years (2 years dating and almost 5 years of marriage) with him. I know that he is just as tired as I am but he put himself aside just to make sure I was comfortable. I love him so much!! I am so lucky...

Word To Your Mother

Today is a very unique day. Today everybody in the world has something in commong. Whether we like them or not, we ALL have mothers. There is no way to be here if we did not. Not everyone is a mother, but we all have one. As a wise person pointed out to me, I am lucky to still have mine in my life and I am lucky to have such a great mother. So I decided to blog about the impact she has had on my life.

1. My mother has made me independent. Because of her, I know that I am the only one who can make me happy. She has taught me to never depend on anyone for my happiness. Go after the things that I want.

2. To always make sure that I develop a relationship with my Heavenly Father. She is constantly in her scriptures and seeking after things that are good. Not a time goes by when she is giving me advice that she does not tell me about a scripture she read. I aspire to be like that.

3. Gratitude. My mom has helped me develop a deep sense of gratitude. Often when I want to look at the things that I lack, she is quick to remind of my abundance of blessings. She has also taugt me to appreciate the little things in life.

4. I am well-rounded person because of her. I love old movies, old music, modern movies, modern music, plays. I can get along with almost anyone and find something in common with them. She has always been fascinated by others culture and stories.

5. Always put family first. They are the only ones that will always look past your warts and only see true beauty.

6. She has taught me to laugh at myself. Never to take myself to serious. Never take life too seriously. Always seek after the good.

7. It is okay to have yourself a good cry. It is good for the soul.

8. I know how to organize and clean a house, but I also know how to ignore that stuff and go have a good time. Housework will always be there. Memories are important to make.

9. Birthdays are a very special day. I know how to make someones day special. My mom always and still does it for us.

10. My mom is the best nurse I know, not just professionally. When I was sick, she always knew how to make me feel better.

11. I know how to make great memories. My mom has made great memories. I had a great childhood with lost of fun.

I could keep going but what I am trying to say....I am a very lucky girl to have such a great mom. So here is to you mom. Your hard work does not go unnoticed. I love you so much mom.

Obsession

Okay I have a big obsession. I thought at first it was just a like or a love but now I go out of my way to get it. I must confess. I am obsessed with dum dum suckers. I can not get enough of them. I buy like three to four paks a week. However, I only like certain flavors....bananna, cream soda, cherry cola, cotton candy, bubble gum, pineapple coconut, and strawberry. The rest I won't touch. Others have started to notice my love for them. I have them all the time. And when I was in graduate school, I got my whole graduate class addicted. So now I have infected others. I have tried to stop but I can't. I will start craving them like crazy. I don't know why, but I felt like I needed to get that out there.

Another reason I started this blog is because I got sick of reading other peoples blog who were tracking or announcing their pregnancy. It is so hard to read other peoples blog and not have anyone to relate to. Everyone is pregnant! No one is having trouble conceiving. Somedays or better than others. Sometimes I love the fact that I have had so much time with just Milton and me. I mean we have had some good times and great memories. I am grateful that we can go do things and not worry about getting someone to watch a baby. However, there are moments that I freak out. I think man we are going to married five years here soon and NO children. There are couples I know that are on their second or third child. Oh and I hate when people try to give advice about it like they know how it feels. It never helps. Even the success stories don't help. It is just one more couple that has a baby and I don't. I have been asked the question to I feel that I will ever have kids? I have asked myself that question a thousand times and I always come to the same answer....I don't know

First time for everything

Okay so this is our first post. I imagine I will be doing most of the posting, but we look forward to keeping everyone updated on what is doing on in our lives.
