Hello, I am Sami and welcome to my blog. For a few weeks now, I have been feeling some really big "growth spurts" inside of me. I am 30 something wife, mom/stepmom who has always put her children first. As of this year one of our sons will become an adult, two of our children will become teens and one will become a preteen. While I will continue to make my children a priority I must put my husband and our marriage first. I will also focus on bringing the woman within me out. I look forward to this new chapter in my life in order to watch our children grow into responsible adults, to love and cherish my husband and to be the beautiful, confident woman God created. Please join me in my journey and always feel free to comment, offer advise, or just say hello!
Hi Sami .. good to be back from Africa and love your site

I am not going to get overly excited because we have not heard an official word but I think Mike may have went back home. I just visited his girlfriend's Myspace page and her headline reads that she is bored, misses him and hates his parents...followed by a profanity. She can hate us all she wants .... no love loss there!! I will have my husband call in the morning to find out if he is back home or not.
We had a pleseant evening tonight. The boys were over- we did some homework with them and went out to eat before taking them home. AJ has a big Math test tomorrow that we studied for and I made a deal with him if he gets a B or higher that I would buy him a pair of Hollister flip flops. I want to share a cute writing I found in Brock's backpack. This writing is Brock through and through:
Ballroom Dancing
My opinion is that ballroom dancing is not for me. Because we have to dance and sometimes I get confused on all the moves in the second part of dancing. When we have to use partners we have to do three moves very fast, then I mess up when everyone else is doing it right. Why do we have to do ballroom dancing?
Another part I don't like is when we have to hold hands with our partners. But really I do not know where my partners hands have been. And one more thing I don't like is how my partner acts. First she messes me up by doing something else while I'm doing it right. Then she says like stop messing up. And that is all the reason's why I don't like ballroom dancing.
Is that not the cutest? I am going to save this and share it with him when he is older for a laugh.
Hylari passed a big Social Studies test yesterday so I got her a "Way to Go" balloon and a $5 Walmart card so that she could buy some music for her MP3 player.
I am still having problems sleeping. I worked out about an hour ago hoping that would help me. Then now finding this possible good news about Mike I am certain I will sleep better tonight.
Tomorrow night we have a Parent's Math workshop at Hylari's school followed by a Family Fun Night. The PTSA is putting on the Family Fun Night so I will be working the event and then signed my hubby and I up for clean up duty.
The kids were supposed to go to an Internet Safety Class tonight but we received a phone call that they had to reschedule it to next week. I am kind of glad it wasn't tonight since AJ had to study for his Math test.
Jaxon is doing soooooooooooo good! Please keep the prayers coming! His mom posted new pictures of him on the website and he looks absolutely beautiful!!! PTL!!! He has all the tubes out except for his feeding tube. I can't wait to be able to post that he is up and running around. 
I can't think of much else going on. Work has been kind of busy lately so I have not got around to visiting my friends. I am certainly thinking about you all.
I hope you come back to blogging soon & hope you're ok! It's so boring without your stories...!
