Emotional struggles

I'm feeling awful today! Yes it's Easter Sunday, yes I should be happy but right now I'm not. This being my first holiday away from my immediate family is harder on me than I thought it would be.

On top of all that, a dear friend of mine lost her mother suddenly last Wednesday. Just so happens that she's still grieving over the loss of her father whom passed 2 1/2 years ago. I am hurting for her, I wish I could've been there for her. She sent me this picture early this morning, made me want to start crying all over again.



Mama Edith, Tia & Me

I don't even remember how old we were when we took this picture but Tia and I have been friends since 6th grade, I was a bridesmaid in her wedding. I keep praying for her strength.

Then to put the icing on the cake, my honey and I are having our first fight disagreement. I said some very hurtful things to him yesterday, not intentionally to hurt him but out of frustration. It really rattled him. It's never my intent to purposely hurt someone that I love, so not talking to him right now until he gets over it is difficult. Words are just as powerful as actions.

All I'd really like to do right now is curl up and cry myself back to sleep. What I'm going to do is get up, workout and try to enjoy the rest of my day with my girls. Happy Easter!

My baby lost her first tooth!

I'm happy yet a bit sad all at the same time. My youngest daughter Mimi is growing up so fast! She lost her first tooth today :-(. Here she is smiling with her tooth in a ziploc ready for the tooth fairy.

I knew she'd reach this milestone at some point, did it have to come so soon?

Thirty Days of ME...Day 30

Day Thirty- Your favorite song

My favorite song is "You and I" by Stevie Wonder. Every single time I play this song it damn near makes me cry! It's a beautiful song. Naturally when I get married I want this to be played for my first dance as a "MRS." I'll post the video soon!

*Thanks for following my "30 Days of ME" posts, hopefully you learned a bit more about who I am. I also want to wish my niece Lyric a happy first birthday!! She's my little bugg..I love her SO much!*
