Mathew is my world!

I just realized I haven't posted a blog all week. I have been consumed in my world…of just Mathew and me. In case you didn't know, Mathew is my world! And for the first time, this weekend my world will be gone, I will be all alone, no Mathew. His father is finally taking him for a weekend (picking him up Friday and dropping him off Sunday morning). I am taking full advantage of this weekend; to sleep in, clean the house, do some bills, go to the beach and definitely party at night! Friday night I'm clubbing. Don't know how to do that (it's been quite some time, so I'm taking an experienced woman with me). I have my outfit all picked out (hot mama will be in the house), I intend to dance like no one is watching, laugh out loud, and meet new people. It should be a good time. But in reality, I will be missing my world. My life lately is just work, work, work and Mathew, Mathew, Mathew. Oh yea and Hawaii!!! Hawaii is actually on my mind all the time...the anticipation is keeping me thrilled and alive. I just can't wait! This past weekend, I made some bikini purchases. I'm ready to go; now I just have to wait 1 month and 18 days! It will not go by fast enough until it does!

Before I go, let me leave you with this:
Children learn what they live.
If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.
If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.
If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.
If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.
If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.
If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.
If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.
If children live with recognition, they learn it is good to have a goal.
If children live with sharing, they learn generosity.
If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness.
If children live with fairness, they learn justice.
If children live with kindness and consideration, they learn respect.
If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and in those about them.
If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live.
