1 week down.... ? to go

Well I finished my 1st full week back to school after Lainee being born. I survived it!! I had my doubts about the middle of the week but I kept praying and made it through. I really need to get myself on a good schedule if I'm going to make it all work for me. When I get home I start thinking about all the things that need to be done but I just want to sit and hold her since I am leaving her all day, I feel like I'm missing so much. I left my other 2 early like that to go back to work but at least I was in Mt. Pleasant close to my Mom's house and I could go see them on my lunch break but with Lainee I'm in Texarkana and I have to wait until I get home around 4:00 to see her, so it's a little hard for me this time. I think I should be done with school by the end of August... I need about 230 hours to get finished. I am soo ready to get done with school and get back to Mt. Pleasant!! I really didn't think it would be that big of deal being in Texarkana everyday when I started school but now almost a year later I'm sooo tired of it!! I miss getting to eat lunch with my husband when I want to.....and getting to go eat lunch with my mom and kids.
I'm changing the subject....... Lainee and I both had to go to the dr. on Thursday. I had a check up and found out I lost 21 lbs., I guess I had a lot of fluid weight this time. I wish I could loose that much weight every 2 weeks for about 8 weeks then maybe I would be the size I want to be agian!! Which is probably t000 skinny but it don't hurt to dream of being a size 2 again!! Lainee had to go for a check up and get her bili ribbon test done. She weight 7 lbs 3 oz. She's growing so fast!! She's almost put on a full pound since birth...but that's okay with me as long as she stays healthy!! After we seen the dr. she had to go over to the lab to get her heal stuck...I got my sister in law to go with me cause I am not very good at seeing my children in pain. I was sitting there waiting to hear her cry and she never did!! It didn't even bother her....I told Clayton that it was offical she's the most laid back baby I've ever been around. I could ask for a better baby, she only cries when she's hungry and that's not very much since I jump whenever she makes a noise. She's also sleeping really good already......I lay her down about 10:00 for bed and she sleeps until somewhere between 2:00 and 2:30 and wakes up eats and goes back to sleep until about 6:00 or 6:30. Which I try and get up about 6:30 so it works out for me. NOW if I could make myself go to be at 10:00 when she does I would be doing good!! But of course I don't...... Well that's all I have to tell right now.......I'll try and post again next week!!

READY GET SET GO!!!

I don't really know what took me so long but I've decided to start this blog.... Probably should have done it long ago but time runs short daily for me!! I have a pretty big family now that I try so hard to take care of and I am going to school full time at Texarkana College which I have to drive 1 hour each way 5 days a week.



I will try and catch everyone up on my life.......

I am a child of god!! I am happy to say that I was baptized on Sept 9, 2007 and joined Maple Springs Missionary Baptist Church. That day is very memoriable to me...My husband, Blake (our son) & I were all baptized together. Blake was saved last summer during Bible School. We were sooo proud!! We love our church family and are blessed to have them in our lives.

I am a wife... I am married to a wonderful man, sole mate, provider & daddy. Clayton Wayne Cameron. We were High School Sweethearts...We broke up for a couple of years and married other people and had beautiful little boys. After our BAD marriages we got back together and have been happily married for 7 years now. We have been together a total of 15 years. So you could say that we pretty much raised each other. I am truely blessed to have Clayton as my husband and I'm looking forward to us raising our family and growing old together!! And I thank god every day Clayton chose me!!

I am a mother... Together Clayton & I have 4 wonderful gifts from god.... Dylan will soon be 11, Blake turned 10 in May, Carlee Jo will be 4 in September and we just welcomed Lainee Marie to our family on June 26th. Dylan is what I call my "bonus" child...he lives with his mother but we try and see him as often as we can. He's been my "bonus" child since he was 3 and I love him as he's my own. I love that I have gotten to see him grow up and be a part of his life. Blake is our very smart but ADHD child...He is always doing something. Blake is a member of the 4 H and raises goats for the Titus County Fair. He also loves to play baseball. Every other year I have the pleasure of having Blake & Dylan on the same team together. Carlee Jo is 3 1/2 going on 30...She is very active, always wanting to do something. She looks just like her daddy and acts alot like him too. She loves to play outside and ride her 4 wheeler. Might I add that she's already riding her bike without training wheels?? She's never quite, she talks constantly.....even in her sleep!! Then there's Lainee....she's only a week old but I can tell you how perfect she is. I think she's going to be even faster than Carlee Jo....When she decided to come she came on...I was only at the hospital for 45 mins when she was born. My contractions weren't that hard and I didn't even realize I was in labor. I guess that could mean she's going to be my easy child!! I am so THANKFUL god chose me to be their mother and chose them to be my children....they are ALL very special!!

I am a daughter....I have amazing parents!! My mom & dad play a BIG role in mine & my families lifes. They encourge us to follow our dreams no matter what they are or how crazy they might sound. They are amazing Grandparents.....they have 9 grandbabies and they find time to spend with all of them. My mother keeps my children for me 5 days a week so I can go to school. And she will keep them on the weekends if I ask her to, no questions asked. Which the same goes for the other grandchildren.... I love my parents and appreciate everything they do for me & my family!!

I am a sister... I have a sister & a brother. They are both older than me & despite all the mean things they did to me as a child...I'm really glad I have them!! My mother was right when she told us we would be glad we had each other when we were grown. I love them and I'm glad we are raising our chilren together.....they are all pretty close together in age and they get to see each other almost on a daily basis!!

I am an aunt... I have 2 nieces and 3 nephews on my side of the family........Brianna, 13; Bradley, 10; John Wesley, 10; Jerrett, 7; & Jennalee, 2. They are all very special to me. I love them all like they were my own.

I am friend.... Rachel is my dearest friend. We have been friends since I was a freshman in high school. We lost touch for a few years but as true friends do we picked up were we left off. I truely believe that god brought her back into my life for a reason...her husband is the preacher at our church. My family is blessed to have them in our family!! If it weren't for them I'm not sure that we would have a church home.

I am a student.. I am currently attending college full time at Texarkana College. I am working towards getting a certificate in cosmetology. I am so close to being done. But I'm also tired. I have an hours commute there and back 5 days a week....I leave mine house by 7:00 (sometimes earlier) and get home around 4:00 every day. But I am seing a light at the end of the tunnel and I should be done by the end of August. Then I hope to be able to work and start makin money again!!

I have other family that are very special to me that I don't want to leave out..... My Aunts and Uncles, ALL my in laws, cousins and my church family. I have many GREAT friends also!!



As you can see I really don't have a lot of extra time for anything but my family & school, but that's okay because they are my life!! I pray every day that I can be the best wife & mother possible.



Thanks for reading my blog!! I will keep everyone updated on our "CAMERON CLAN"!!
