Loving Smile From Mr. Sunshine !

I never thought there would be a day when I, Ms. Chatterbox, didn't have anything to complain about. So with that being said, I do hope that you are enjoying your summer and spending lots of quality time with the ones you love. That is my personal goal. To really live in the moment and enjoy the littlest of things that life brings us. Even on the worst of days we must find something that makes us happy. A smile, the sun, a cup of coffee, a cute puppy, a laughing baby. Those things always bring a smile to my face. But what I really strive for are the smiles that touch my heart. The hugs and kisses from my girls, the "I Love You Mom"'s, kisses on my neck from my sweetie, my little Lucky cuddling in bed with me, and watching my nieces and nephews play. Those are the big, show all your teeth smiles, and those will always be my most valued smiles. I hope your heart is smiling today.
XoXo,
Cupcake

Walk in the rain, collect rainbows, smell flowers, stop along the way, build sand castles, watch the moon and stars come out, say hello to everyone, make up new rules, go on adventures, act silly, take bubble baths, hold hands and hug and kiss, dance, laugh and cry for the health of it, feel happy, say the magic words, and trust the universe."

Little Piece of Heaven

Sometimes we have to take little pieces of the puzzle to see the whole picture. I'm trying to see the good in everyday. I have to believe that there is something I can smile about even when my troubles seem to consume my mind. It is true what they say about your thoughts controlling your outlook and attitude on life. Being mad, rude or angry with others because my life isn't exactly how I think it should be only makes me feel worse. I'm choosing to be happy. And if I wake up unhappy and grumpy, I find something that will put a smile on my face. I want my girls to see the world this way as well. It makes things so much easier.
So look at the clouds and make animals out of them. Listen to the birds sing. Watch the kids play at the park. Eat a Popsicle. Pick flowers. Skip instead of walk. Sing in the car and watch how much you make others smile (or laugh). Try it. You just might find that it really is the simple things in life that can bring you so much joy.
XOXO,

Do You Trust Me???

I am somewhat bothered by my man. Why is it when he has a hard day at work, he doesn't want to talk to me about it ? Why does he go to his friend (female), whom I know, and doesn't bother sharing with me ? I just done get it. We can be see other naked, act like idiots at times, wake-up with nasty morning breath, but he doesn't want to talk to me about the stresses in his life ? It pushes me away. I don't like feeling this way.....

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,

That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore

Reality Check

Sometimes it takes words that hurt to make you realize your on the verge of losing something that is of great value to you. That exactly what happened to me last night. I have been wanting to talk to "Mr.7" about our "casual dating" relationship that has now made it to 4 months. The expectations of us seeing or dating other people is something that I feel needs to be clear to both parties involved. He has more social time than I do because I am a single mom. I thought we should clear the air on what we expected from each other. Much to my dismay, I got a rude awakening that he was getting very use to not seeing me that much. Unfortunatly, it doesnt even bother him anymore. Pretty much saying, If it works it works, if not so be it. Wow, what happened to the boy who I thought was getting closer to me and wanting to be a bigger part of my life ???? I guess somewhere between being a mom and a part-time casual dater to "Mr.7", I didnt take into account that he needed more.
My plan is to go back to the place I started with him 4 months ago and be that fun, loving, free-spirited, independent girl that he thought was so cute and sassy. (When he's into me, he thinks I'm Sassy.) I have too try to make this work. I think he is a great guy and I want him to be part of my life. If I walked away now, I would regret it forever. Wish me luck.
