Meeting new people :)

Hi everyone! I am Yvonne for those who have just met me, but if you know me and love me. I go by Babette :) I have not been on in the last month, cause I was out exploring and meeting new people. Having fun and getting hurt at the same time! Just seems to be part of the dating game. Why is all a game? Why cant people just be truthful on what they want from the get go?

It makes you so confused that way.

In all of this I have found I am happy just being me. No questions, no drama, no having to explain your self to anyone. I hope to one day find the man who steals my heart and soul, but till then I will not settle for less. I know what I want from a relationship and what I do not want. Life is to short to compromise anymore. So till then I will just have fun and love my kids and if God brings the man I love to me great if he doesn't then so be it! I can leave this earth knowing I loved with all my heart and soul completely, and it was enough.

My daughters " Poem" written 2/2/09

Abandoned Farm House

She was a gentle woman, says the size of her broken heart; a widow too says the beauty of a wedding gown never worn, in an upstairs ward robe and a well, God loving woman, says the bible with the saved spot on the night stand next to the bed; but not a woman for sewing, says the uneven blankets on the bed.
A man lived with her, says the fridge filled with stakes, still covered with seasoning, and they had a child, says the toy box made from wooden planks, money was scares says the hand me downs of shoes and dresses that hung in the ward robe, and summers hot says the broken box fans.
It was lonely hear, says the long country road, something went wrong says the empty farm house in the untamed yard. Unevenness in the blankets, says not a sewer, the still hung hand me downs in the ward robe says he left in a nerves haste, and the child? Its toys are strewn in the yard like feathers after a pillow fight- a rubber duck, a rusty truck with a broken wheel, a doll in rags. Something went wrong they say.

" Strawberry picking" at Gnismer Farm

This was a fun day my sister and I took the kids to this farm and picked strawberries. They grow all kinds of fruits and vegetables. I can not wait for the season to start again where we will be able to go and pick the berries, with the kids. Here are some pictures for you guys to enjoy!

We got to ride the tractor to take the little ones to the restroom, and they had their own bee hives so they could make and sell fresh honey, unbelievable. :)

"Camp"

The kids have been blessed with going to camp for their 3rd year in a row. We have had tough times for the last year and it makes me feel good when I can give the kids a get away to the daily stress that goes with separation, and money problems. God has truly blessed me and my children in many ways, and I hope one day soon I will be able to give back to the ones that have helped my family, and the places that have dedicated their time and energy in us.

I dedicate this post to God for all that he has given me and my children in this life ."Thank you GOD".

"Getting out and back in to the world"

Lately I have been trying to get back out in to the world, meet new people and just have fun! I have met 2 new friends by just randomly walking up to a stranger and saying HELLO! I think everyone should try this. So I want to make a wager. I want everyone to try this for 1 week, just walk up and say Hello to a total stranger same sex, or opposite sex what ever you choose. Then I want you to check back here in a week and leave me a comment on how it went and did it work for you, just tell me about your experience. It may only be a casual conversation or it may become a number exchange as mine did and Lunch later on either way I met two new girl friends, I really like and will enjoy for a long time we can never have enough friends just some one to make you laugh so go see how it works for you. You never know it maybe the friendship you always wanted, the partner you were looking for, or just the means to a good day!

Sister Hood

My sister and I!
Life brings changes ups and downs, but I will always have my sisters; this is my little sister in age and size, lol.
This was my first Thanksgiving dinner as a single mom and it went very well with the support of my sisters and family the Holidays were much easier then I expected. We are all different in many ways and the same in many ways. I am Thankful for my sisters if I did not have them it would be the hardest times of my life to not have their shoulders to cry on, or to laugh with, or just to have the nightly talk on the IM.
I LOVE my sisters more then they will ever know and I just want to say thank you to both of them for their companionship through out my life time even through our ups and downs.
Love always Babette :)

Life as a single MOM

Hello

I am a single mom after 18 years. I believe we all think or wonder what it would be like to be free from the bond of marriage.

Some times the grass maybe greener on the other side, but the heart does not see it like that. After that long when you have taken two lives and created one it feels as if your spirit has been torn into, you loose a piece of your heart, some of your soul leaves you.

We try to be new people or find a new way of life, because what we left behind is either too painful or no longer exists.

But in the mist of it all we find a new life a new beginning and we try to see Gods plan for our future.
We try to take it all in and wonder; "Is the price of freedom worth it all"?
