Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2012 Margaret Margaret My best friend, okay she is more like a sister, had her baby on May 25. I haven’t set foot in labor and delivery since I had and placed my daughter for adoption almost 7 years ago. I that being there for her was going to be hard and it was going to bring emotions to the top that I hadn’t dealt with. What I didn’t realize at the time was how healing it was going to be for me to be there with her and the baby.
After I got off of work I headed to the hospital and right when I pulled into the parking lot I broke down and started to cry. I had to sit in my cry for a few minutes because the last thing she needed was to see me crying when see was in labor. After I few minutes I got it together and I went into the hospital. I didn’t really know where to be so I just stayed in the hall right outside the room she was in.
After she had him and we all came in the room and they asked me if I wanted to hold him all I could do was shake my head no. My eyes filled up with tears and it was all I could do to keep from leaving the room. To be honest in that minute I didn’t know if I would even hold him while he was in the hospital. Every time I thought about holding him it brought all the emotions I had pushed to the background and hadn’t dealt with.
After they got her up to her postpartum room and her boyfriend left so he could run home and do a few things I stayed so that she wouldn’t have to be alone. I didn’t want her to be alone because I know when I had my daughter it was hard to be in the hospital all alone. After it was just the 3 of us I knew it was time to hold him and start to deal with the emotions.
After I held him for a little bit I realized that he did something for me that I didn’t know he could. I can’t put into words what he did but he healed a part of me that I thought would always be broken. He is so special to me because he will never know what he did for me and that is okay but he will always be a huge part of my life.

I can’t believe that is already the beginning of June. It seems like just yesterday it was New Years day. I can’t believe how fast the year is going. Anyway here is this weeks quote:
I really liked this quote because it is so true. I would rather spend my life making mistakes then just sitting around and let life pass me by.
Do you agree with this quote?

Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2012 Margaret Margaret I remember while I was in school thinking that I was never going to miss being in school. Now that I have been out of school for a few years I realize that I do miss school. I don’t miss tests but I miss learning. I actually miss going to classes and learning new things. It is crazy for me to think that I miss anything about school because I really hated school until I got to college.
High school was rough for me because of bullying and I just wanted to get out of there. Once I started college and Weber State University I came to love learning and going to class. I know it had a lot to do with the fact that I was taking classes that I enjoyed and wasn’t stuck taking tons of classes that didn’t interest me.
I miss learning things. I don’t know what it is about sitting a class room listening to a professor teach that makes me feel like I am learning but it does. I really want to take a class here are there because I do miss learning. I feel like I am wasting away when I am not in school. I am sure that is because I never have finished school so I still feel like I need to finish.
School has always come easy to me and I think that is why I miss learning.
What do you miss about school?

After more than a decade, Dan runs into his former love, Steffi, at a bar, and they both find they still have a long-buried, consuming love between them. There are a couple of problems, though—Dan is married to Amy and has three children, and Steffi is also married. Although both are in unhappy marriages, they still do not wish to hurt their spouses, so they keep their affair a secret—until Steffi becomes pregnant with Dan’s child.
Knowing he is unable to have children, Jack, Steffi’s husband, suspects Steffi is having an affair and swears to kill the man if he ever finds him. Meanwhile, after Dan walks out on Amy, proclaiming his love for another woman, Amy sits nearly comatose every day in a rocking chair for nearly four years while her eldest daughter and son struggle with the sudden burdens of running the household and taking care of Lilli, the youngest child.
At first Jack doesn’t confront Steffi about the pregnancy but ironically, he hires Amy as an employee at his bar. Neither Jack nor Amy know the extreme connection they have with each other until pieces of the puzzle start to come together.
What will happen when Jack finds out about Steffi’s baby? Will he accept the child as his or abandon Steffi, the love of his life? And what will become of Amy and Dan’s children, left alone to care for themselves? Tempered Justice is a generational saga that follows the lives of two families intertwined through love, revenge and, hopefully, happiness.
This book takes place during the depression. It is about a man who runs into his long lost love but is married to someone else. I loved the authors writing but I really struggled with the concept of the book and how things played out. I think it was hard for me to get into because of the time period the book takes place. I honestly thought that the characters all acted super weird and I just could get into what was going on.

I was chosen to receive May’s Influenster VoxBox. If you haven’t heard if Influenster before it is a totally free subscription service. Once you sign up you unlock badges of the things that interest you. They then will send you boxes on the months that your interests match what is going to be in the box. What I love about this is service is that it is totally free and you get full size and deluxe sample size products.
Here is a picture of what was in this months box. (I just realized that the body wash is missing from this picture. I had already started to use it so it was in the bath room.)
Other than the body wash that was a travel size product everything else is a full size product. I was so excited to get a full size body spray from Bath & Body Works. The spray costs $14 dollars and I got if for free!!!!!! They sent me the Sweet Pea flavor and I really like it.
The next thing that came in it was a SoyJoy bar. I got the strawberry flavored one. At first I wasn’t excited about this because most bars have gluten in them but once I read the packaging I realized that this bar was gluten free so I could actually eat it. I did eat this bar but it isn’t anything that I would buy. It did taste better than most others bars do but I am not a huge fan of soy and how it tastes.
I also got inserts that you put in high heels by Dr. Scholls. I don’t wear high heels but I am going to be giving these to Misti because she loves to wears heels so I know she will get use out of them. I know if I did wear heels I would be super excited to try these out because I am sure they would work great.
I am going to talk about the other products they sent me in another post because this post has gotten long. Be on the look out for the rest of the products.
