New Chapter in LIfe

I'm sitting here home alone today trying to get some work done but I keep going into deep thought. I planned an update post for staying on top of your goals this year. It was suppose to go up the beginning of February and I have been very busy. But my oldest child (my only daughter who is 18) came over yesterday and went though the things left in her room. Last night I was going through old photos of my kids and family and all the things that we did together. If was fun to see how much not just my daughter has changed but all of my kids have. Only today did it hit me that she hasn't been home in over a month and she really moved out. We are repainting the room and turning it in my youngest sons room/my craft space (the room is huge).

I am a little emotional over this epiphany that I had today. I thought I was OK with it but then it just really hit me after seeing all those old photos last night. I miss all those times we went camping, played in the snow, took them treat or treating, went to the circus, the fair. I am very happy that I captured all those memories and I can look back on them anytime and have those memories.

 I know that I am entering a new chapter in life and no one has said that life was easy. I am not and was not prepared for this chapter. I truly believe that no one is, as there is not a manual on parenting. I will always worry about her, I will always miss her constant presence in my home. No she didn't move miles away and I can go see her anytime and she can come over anytime. Its the fact that she is now on her own and out in the world trying to figure out adulthood.

I wish her the best in this new chapter for her as well in life. I want her to know that I will always be there for her wherever her journey may take her.


Its time for me to get some work done so until next time.

God Bless.

Wednesday Hodgepodge

Hope your all having a great Wednesday!!! Wow it has been a while since I have wrote on this blog once again. So why not start back up with a link in!!! Here is the original post and where the link up start http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/


1. March is known as the windy month. Which of the following phrases best fits your March so far....'throw caution to the wind', 'three sheets to the wind', 'runlike the wind', or 'seewhich way the wind blows?

Well I would have to say that see which way the wind blows. One day here it is nice and sunny then the next the wind is blowing everything around while the sun is out and it is chilly.

2.Your favorite green food? Your favorite dish made with your favorite green food?  Favorite green food, hmmmm that one is a little hard considering that I like all kinds of foods that are green. so I am going to say okra. I love to make fried okra it is so yummy!!!

3. Ever been locked out of your home-car-office-anywhere? Do tell!!!
Oh I have been locked out of my house and my car. One day I was at Tuesday Mornings with my youngest son and I was done shopping and went to get in the car and realized that the keys were still in the ignition!!! My husband was out of town and I didn't have any money to call a locksmith. So I had to break into my own car and everyone around me was giving me the stuff to do so but the 2 cops parked across a couple of spots did nothing. Mind you that this was in the summer time and my son was so good. He sat on the parking block in the shade and played with his toys while I broke into the car.

4. Yoda, Kermit, Shrek, The Wicked Witch of the West, Oscar the Grouch, The Grinch, or Mike Wasowski (Monster Inc).... of the green characters listed, which one's your favorite and why?  I have to say that I like Shrek, he reminds me a lot of myself. He tries to get his point across but no one ever takes him seriously, I have to say Mike Wasowski too. He is the same everyone just runs him over while he trying to be serious as well.

5. "The first task of a leader is to keep hope alive. "-Joe Batten" do you agree? Why or why nope?  I do agree because if you don't have hope then you have nothing to live for. You have to have hopes and dreams because of you don't you have anything to live for.

6. Share a favorite song with an emotion in its title.
Hmmmm, this is another one that I have to think about. I do listen to a lot of music but I'm not really keen on remembering names and titles. I am the same way with movies.

7. Whats a road trip you'd like to take? I would like to take a road trip with my family to go to Mississippi to see the rest of my family. It has been 13-14 years since I have been back there to see them. My daughter was just barely a year old the last time I have seen them and she is now almost 14.

8. Insert your own random thought here.
Random thought for today is all work and no play til 5 o'clock when its the end of the work day!



Sorry there is no pictures to make this blog post more eye catching but my computer doesn't want to work in my favor rite now Lol.

I have everyone enjoyed and have a great and blessed Wednesday!

Tuesday Talk

Well I know that its been a while since I have done any blogging. I have no excuses for it, I have just been lazy. But this Sunday I sat down and thought about it and I have came up with some ideas that might help me stay in the game.

I have decided to make fun titles for each day of the week and they are all related to what the topics will be talked about in the blog that day.

I have also decided that I will dedicate Sunday evenings to a time to sit down and plan out each blog post as much as I can so it can be published throughout the week.

Like the title of this blog post Tuesday Talk. I am hoping that every Tuesday that I can keep up with talking about random things that are going on in all parts of my life. So that is my Tuesday Talk for now stay tuned to find out what tomorrows topic will be!!!


Have a great day,
Krystal and Family

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!

I hope everyone had a fun and safe New Year's Eve and are recovering nicely today. We didn't do anything to special, we stayed up with the kids and watched The Walking Dead on Netflix all night. I believe that we are almost caught up to the current season.

I am very thankful for 2013, a lot of things have happened good and bad, and I am very blessed because it has all helped me shape me into the person I am today. I have learned a lot about my self also. So good-bye 2013 and bring on 2014. I am ready to self discover some more and see what great things lay ahead for the New Year.

Today I am off from work and plan on packing up the Christmas décor. Then clean up the house some and relax.

How are you bringing in the New Year today?

What are your plans?

What great things do you want to happen this year?

I didn't set any New Year's resolutions because I never seem to stick to them any way. So this year I am going to go with the flow of things.


Hope you all have a blessed day and a Happy New Year!!!
