aliiiiive! Today is the day my friends- check out the link below to
finally find out what all the "Buzz" (see what I did there?... I crack
myself up-lol) about Baily Bug is about. It only takes a few minutes to
set up a kickstarter account, pick out your goodies (each option
includes at least one book) and pledge. The sooner the better. And if
you would be so kind in helping us make this more "buzz-worthy" (I'm
sorry it's just too easy), please share this link. Thank you
all so much for your patience and support. It really does mean the world
to my family and I!!! Onward Bailly Bug!!</span></span></span></span></h5>

<br />
So I've been feeling the need to rant on this subject for a while. I hate box tops, labels for education, and whatever else I have to cut off of trash to help out my children's school. There I said it. But seriously... as if moms of school age children don't have enough to do already, now, instead of simply throwing packages in the garbage, we have to take extra time to cut out small, badly placed little labels on packages to make sure our kids' schools get a whole dime. I know I probably sound ungrateful and what not but this really annoys me. I admit that I still take the time to cut the dang little box tops off and I even get enticed but the "3 extra box tops" advertising but sometimes I would honestly rather just donate the $1 a month myself than have to worry about those dang little labels. But, in keeping with my honestly here, I know I'll just keep taking 2 extra minutes to cut those dang labels and whine about it on my blog. #firstworldproblemssmilingsarahbearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03409446985782969856noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31425258.post-29735043665116131132013-09-05T10:50:00.000-05:002013-09-05T10:50:38.215-05:00Wordless Wednesday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm blogging again! (I'm going to attempt it anyway.) <br />
<br />
So Mondays will be a series called Motivational Monday, which is pretty self-explanatory. For this week I chose a beautiful video we watched last night for our special baptism FHE in preparation for Baily's baptism on Saturday. It really brings the Spirit and helped us really contemplate the meaning and blessing of baptism. <br />

I am one person, I am not a super hero and I am trying my best. I'm not perfect and I'm very aware of that. Please stop telling me I'm not trying hard enough or to "just get over" my issues. Believe me, if it were that easy it would have been done. Despite what some may think I don't talk about my problems because I love a good pity party and as a call for attention (at least, not the attention for praise). I do post personal things for the kind of attention such as a call out for help so I don't do something stupid. It's not for attention so I can think about how awesome I am and boast in myself. I am trying so hard to "choose not to be offended" because I know that is the Lord's way. I know I am so blessed and I'm sorry if some have chosen to be offended by me because of my complaints. But once again, I'm not perfect, I've never claimed to be and I'm just trying to do my best. Some days that simply means not giving up on my life. If I annoy you or bother you, please just simply ignore me. I am trying. I am sorry if my efforts are not good enough but I'm tired of trying to please everyone. I am working on issues, getting help. I am being proactive about trying to get better. I know my posts may lead some to believe I'm just wallowing in self-pity with a "woe is me" attitude but that is not the case. Sometime I just wish people could spend a few hours in my head so they could understand. I wish they could spend a week in my shoes so they can see the efforts I am making to win the battles in my mind. I'm sorry if it doesn't look like I'm doing enough from your point of view but once again, I am trying. I'm not being passive and unproductive and lazy. I truly believe one of my spiritual gifts is that I am non-judgmental. I am compassionate. I wish some people who are well-meaning and think they are helping me with tough love would just stand back and try to see things from my perspective. Stop pushing me. I'm so tired of feeling like my efforts are never enough. I am just so tired... How grateful I am for a Savior who I know loves me and understands exactly what I'm going through. I pray for the strength to never give up and to get things figured out and that I will be able to be a righteous wife, mother and live up to my potential. That's what I strive for, that's what I want out of my life, even if that's not how you see me.smilingsarahbearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03409446985782969856noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31425258.post-35920973175696370172012-06-25T09:49:00.001-05:002012-06-25T09:49:27.183-05:00Motivational Monday: Rescued by Christ<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZP9qugKsSfU?fs=1" width="480"></iframe><br />

<br />
Ok... so I decided I also want to post this text conversation I had with my best friend/brother Beau, even though it's from last Thursday, because it left me smiling for days and I want to remember it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Beau to Me:</div><div style="text-align: center;">"Thanks!

I think it's an interesting and unique way to take a peak into your life and the daily goings on. Yesterday was actually a light texting day for me which is unusual but here goes anyway:)<br />
<br />
Me to Dad: U awake?<br />
My dad just had open heart surgery and I was trying to get a hold of him to see if he was up to visitors (he wasn't).<br />
<br />
Rhiannon to Me: Did u call? Im at the brewer game.<br />
I had called my friend to see if she was coming to the Book Club meeting but apparently I forgot she was at the Brewers game.<br />
<br />
Pete-Alex to Me: Fyi I will be picking up alex a little early today.... I should be there by 415...<br />
One of the dad's of one of the sweet babies that I watch.<br />
<br />
Shalese to Me: If any leak or have crystal beads,please let me know or clumps of material. Thank you!!!!<br />
My friend and mom of one of the sweet little boys I watch. She's doing a diaper study and was giving me instructions about what to do with the diapers.

The fact is that most putts don’t drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to just be people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old time rail journey…delays…sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling burst of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.” <br />

Well thanks to some help from one of my very best friends, my brother Beau, I now have a beautiful new laptop (named Blue Steel because it's blue and sexy and strong). I've never had such a nice computer that works so well and is just so awesome! So now that I have the tools (internet and Blue Steel), I am excited to get back to my blogging jig. I'm going to try something a little new in an attempt to keep my blog interesting. I will do daily features. I openly admit I got a lot of these ideas from other friends' blogs and some of the ideas I came up with on my own. I hope it proves interesting and enjoyable. So starting this weekend here will be the following features:</div><div align="center"><br />
