Tis the season... Who get's the kids this year??

Sent my Bliss and Laci off to Houston today for Christmas with their dad......and his new wife...(a great girl that I'm grateful for...)
Tears.... but better than last year... As the time goes by, we all become stronger.
I drive home with my Dru in the backseat... So thankful for the many blessings I have, even though I have made some incredibly stupid choices... I'm so human....dang it!!
So thankful for God's unfailing mercy, grace, and forgiveness.....
I go into a cave when I start feeling this vulnerable lonesome feeling.... Wanna be in my "safe place."
The place where I won't get hurt... Trying to talk thru it can be frustrating... If u haven't been in this place, it's difficult to try and explain these feelings away...
I love Christmas.... Regardless of the situations we are dealt.... Me and my bebes are blessed!!!
I'm thankful that Chris and Brittany are so wonderful to the girls.... and we have remained friends....
I'm thankful that Andy has become a friend to me.... Some won't understand it, and I won't try and explain.... Welcome to the 21st century folks!!
My "family" may not look like yours, but nonetheless, it's my family... and we are full of love~ I'm the first to say I'm not, never have been, never will be perfect... Just gonna live this life daily....
Love those close to me.... cherish the good times.... endure the not so good times.... and do it all over again and again and again.... Love the lesson I finally learned at 34.... Roll with it~ Breathe~ accept~look forward~
Merry Christmas Week!!!!
Hug those that are close.... And let those small irritating things that some of ur family members do go, and learn to love it.... cuz once it's gone....it doesn't seem THAT big of a deal~

random thoughts~

Whew~ December is here!!!
Seems like once October hits, the rest of the year flies by quicker than the previous months....
I love this time of year... The wonder in my kids eyes makes me wanna be more like them.
I wanna exchange my jaded mindset for their anything is possible belief!
I watch as they live in the moment, and want to put a big shield around them so they don't experience hurt like I have.
I'm thankful for so much this year...
Healing has been a huge part of 2010.... I am so grateful for that!
My goal is to slow down a bit and live in the moment this December!!!
Let's see how this goes.....

twice baked momma of 3~

Single momma of 3.... Yep, that would be me~
Married once....married twice.... Whaaaa??? me??? The "pastor's daughter??"
Ya know, I gotta say the lessons I have learned, would not have been learned, had I not gone through what I have....
Hi!! I'm Andrea. 34(for one more month) year old, full time working momma!!
Who knew I could do all of this??? I sure didn't have a clue!!
I was always the girl who "acted" like she got what people were talking about when they went on about their own personal difficulties.
Boy, was I naive. But I was in for the surprise of my life!!! I went on a ride that has made me who I am today~
I have 3 beauties... Bliss, my 11 year old young woman:)
Laci, my 7 year old who is "miss sassypants!."
And Dru, my 3 year old lil dude(airplane pilot choochoo train man!)
We share a crazy, hyper, frenzied boxer we call "Rilo."
This blog will let you see how human I really am, and what a huge load off to just be me, and not try to be something I'm not...
No pretending, no dishonesty... Let's just all be real!!!
See ya soon:)
