Doing what is right...

Character is doing what is right when no one is looking. That is the inspiration for the day or was.   Now it is late or actually should i say morning because it is now 12:03 am.  Sorry I haven't been blogging lately, my life has been kind of busy.   My little girl turned 1 yr old on Feb. 9th, and we are giving her party this weekend.  She is having a princess party, and my sister bought her this princess barbie costume to dress up in on her birthday, and her princess cake we got her to smash and eat.  I can't wait, its going to be awesome and wonderful.  After 5 boys, trust me ladies, your very excited with a girl...  No offense to my wonderful boys.

Well, the groundhog seen his shawdow, and that means more bad weather, and I think this sunday and monday, we are due for more snow and yucky cold stuff.  I can't wait till spring and summer honestly.  The only thing I will hate is the tornado's and stuff.  I have enjoyed some beauty of the snow.  Its so pretty and bright. Its like what Jesus says when he will wash away our sins and make us white as snow.   I hope everyones Valentines day will go good. I wish all my friends if I have any, A Happy Valentines Day......And may God be with you in happiness or sadness, because I know there is some out there without a someone or a valentine. 

Well, I am tired and just got done playing Halo 3 with my 14 yr old.  Its so fun and somewhat addicting.  But he was so tired and I thought I would update and say hi for a sec.  
So Goodnite everyone and sleep tight.  

Wanted to share this daily inspiration for all you gals...

Watch your thoughts they become your words. Watch your words they become your actions. Watch your actions they become your habits. Watch your habits they become your character. Watch your character it becomes your destiny.

Up doing my college homework that never ends....

I am trying to stop playing with  my new blog and accomplish getting some homework done from some of my college classes, but I have been so tired today, drifted to sleep in one of my classes today, a music appreciation class.  Could you really blame me though. lol. 
Its an interesting class, don't get me wrong.  I am just really really tired today.  I have to write a 5 paragraph essay on How love is like a lawnmower.  ahhh, then read another chapter out of my speech class book and write down the important topics or main ideas I found out of the book, then write a 3-5 minute speech on a current affair or event.   Well enough said for that, and wanted to give an update on a business me and my sister are starting or have, It's called: "The Southern Belle Cleaners", so look us up on Myspace and Facebook if you need some cleaning done the southern style way, the right way.   Well, getting late, better finish up and say goodnite to everyone.   Oh, the groundhog seen his shadow, so we all know what that means, and It was my grandfather's birthday today too.  So happy birthday pepa.

Still up and can't sleep

Feburary 2, 2010

Tuesday

This is just one of those nights, when you just can't seem to fall asleep.  I hate these nights.  The kids haven't had school either due to all the snow, and we all kind of been cooped up inside so we have been getting out playing in the snow to keep from going insane.   But why I can't sleep is just beyond me.  I feel tired but my eyeballs are WIDE AWAKE, lol. 

So tell me my southern friends, what do you do if you can't sleep?
Please comment to me. PLEASE......
I haven't really tried warm milk, it just sounds too nasty really, and I haven't tried any sleeping medications, due to the fact I do nurse, and really don't want to get addicted to some kind of pill that can make you blissfully fall asleep in no time.   So here I sit, wide awake just typing away at this new blogging thing I have began to love doing.    I hope to get to know many of you Southern Belle women out there, and I hope we can share back and forth many southern belle chat.

This is what it looks like outside tonight, and my bones have been hurting, due to this coldness, that could be one reason I can't sleep.   I feel like my body is older than me sometimes, you ever feel like that.  lol. I do alot......
We got 5 to 6 inches of snow here in Missouri, the land of misery sometimes as my oldest son says.   But I don't think its done yet.

We are told that another front for more snow is moving in for the weekend, ahhhh, I was so sure nicer weather was going to come soon. 

My southern priss getting ready for bed .

               She likes to sleep and likes for me to be right there beside her too.

She will be a year old on Feburary 9th, 2010.  Its going to be so much fun having her first birthday.   A princess for a day is what she will be in her own little southern style way. 

Here is some pics of her brothers.  My little nest of chicks are getting big.

This is my 14 yr old Daniel.  This photo was last year I will get his others uploaded tomorrow.

But wait, it is tomorrow, lol.  Here is a pic from yesterday.

He is trying to be scary and funny all at once. lol.

This is my 9 year old Christian, and he is a Southern Boy and ham

when it comes to picture taking. He loves the outside and the snow.

Here he is today and he is posing with his little snowman he

made me. 

This is Austin my 8 year old, he was a Halloween baby.

Loves the fact that he gets treated double on his

birthday, lol.  Right now he thinks he is a ninja.

This is him today too, outside having snowball fights with his brothers and little sis.

This is Briley, my 7 year old.  He is the Southern terror.

But yet so lovable and sweet.  He is attempting to show off his snowball snowman.

And this pic was from today too.  This is Briley sitting it out with his baby sister lizzie.

They look like too snowballs in a winterwonderland.

And this is my Peyton, only 3 yrs old. He is my last little boy.

He is my baby. He goes around saying to me "mommy, you my baby" and reaches

up and just wrapps his little arms around me and hugs me.

And this is his little snowman that acutally looks like a big snowball.

*(but we didn't tell him that)*

He looks really tired huh in this photo.  I do believe after this pic he did go inside and take a nap.

And last but not least, My only little girl out of all those boys. lol.

Here she is , Miss Southernbelle herself, Ms. Priss, Elizabeth.

11 months old.  She is one pretty girly girl. My little girl.

Well, time to say goodnite and early goodmorning. I think I am finally getting tired now.So now is the right time to end this southern tale of my half of dozen children with lizzie the southern priss waving bye to all our new friends.  I hope we didn't bore you in any way, and i hope we strike an interest for all our new to soon be fans.  Till next time, have a very southern goodnite's sleep and i pray that all is well in your lives and that God has been a good God to you. He is such a good God.

Goodnite.............................................................................................

I wanted to share some of my little Southern Belle Priss's pics

Feburary 2, 2010
Tuesday

These are just some new random pics of my daughter. The only little girl that I have out of 5 boys.  Thats right ladies, I have half of dozen kids. 5 boys and 1 baby girl.  My children range from a teenager to her being almost 1.
Here is my little girl, my little southern priss:

Isn't she just so cute!!! She is loveable, and sweet.  And loves to eat girls. She likes human food, lol, not baby food.  She does however sometimes make exceptions.  She was my last baby and I was so proud and happy when I had her.   Don't get me wrong my friends, I love my boys too,  its just she is so darn fun.    Its not everyday a woman with 5 boys can just finally one day have a beautiful southern belle priss.

She is such a princess.....

And her name is Elizabeth...

But I think she is more a tomboy than anything though.  She hates having stuff like ribbons and stuff in her hair.  She pulls them out.

But thats what you get having 5 big brothers the southern style way of life.  

She will always be a strong southern priss having to always when she gets older defending herself from them, lol. 

What to do with Southern trash?

Feburary 1, 2010

What to do with southern trash?  What I mean is people who allow their kids to run around at all hours of the night with boys that are way too old for them.  The only thing I could think to do was finally give a report about it.  Do you think this was wrong? What do you do when you know its neglect and that the kids parents just don't care.  Please give me a comment about it, let me know what you would do?

Oh well, enough of the drama talk that me and the neighbor have encountered since last night.  We just want children to be safe and not neglected or left to run wild just because they think they can.

Southern Style Food for the Cold outside

Just a little warm your tummy recipe we tried the other night.  Its a new way to eat chili.  Its called black bean chili, and its really southern and really good.  All you have to do is brown your turkey meat, add in your kidney beans, your tomato juice, some stewed ones too for flavoring, add your black beans, (no chili beans in this pot), and add some onions, bell peppers, and some chili seasoning and your all set for the southern style bean chili.   Its really good and the black beans in it help you lose weight in the process. 
You can also bake brownies but add in some black beans to help you lose weight once a week.   Now this supposedly works ya'll, I got it from the Dr. Oz show.

So I hope you try my new turkey black bean chili with a little sour cream on the side for flavor too, and I want to hear some comments from you all on how it taste.  I REALLY WANT TO KNOW YA"LL:
