realizations

I have had a few friends of mine have some major life struggles and i am so greatful for what i have and my kids that that make living worth it. One of my friends is in the hospital with colon cancer, she has 2 twin boys that are about 2 years old. My sister just got laid off from work from a mortgage company, go figure, Melanie is at the hosptial with her new twin babies, Another friend of mine has some major stuggles with her family, it all makes you realize that what you dont take it for granted, I am lucky that i have a job, healthy kids, and my health is great. I just wish that i could do more for each and everyone of them.

stuff

i just love to read what everyone puts on their blog. I dont do mine like i should becuase of time issues. Things have changed drimatically at the Atkins house hold. Were to start, BreAnna, 16 driving now and working. Dont see much of her these days but she finished strong at Aviation High and is going to be working all summer to get a car. Man i miss having her around all the time, you dont know how much they have grown and how much you depend on them until they are gone, even if it is a hug or just to whine about something as a mother you depend on that and it just isnt there from her any way like it used to be.

HaiLee too has finished school strong, She has been spending her summer visiting cousins or hanging out with big sister or just watching movies and of course riding her bike and bugging her friend Yvonne. She has been a HUGE help around the house since Sissy is working and doing teenager stuff. She is now my little side kick and is a great big sister to Treavor and a great friend to her old mom. I get my fill of hugs and kisses from her all the time. She fills the void that BreAnna has left me i think.

Treavor is at daycare during the day and loves Thursday to come becuase it is Slurpy Day! He is so the youngest but is doing really good and is a good little buddy to HaiLee and his old mom that is.

TJ is still at grandma's will be there for another couple of weeks.
