On the up and up Pt 2.

I'm on break at work! Oh, hello to my blog again, it is a wonderful October night! The leaves brustling around outside just make my heart feel good :) Why is that anyways? For some reason, at this time of year, what sounds good is taking some leaves and making those wax paper/leaf/melted crayon art projects with an iron and ironing board. This may call for a trip to savers... as I do not have an iron or board right now. But the urge to do one of those projects is strong. I'd also like to make it to the store soon to pick up a rake and some Halloween-y trash bags to fill up with leaves from the yard! I love it! I will then put the pumpkin-colored and designed trash bags on my curb for all to see... I love it, makes me feel like I'm doing my part to contribute to "the spirit". I can't hand out candy to trick or treaters because my door is in the back of the building, but, I can still decorate the yard!! :D

Lately, I have been thinking a lot about the child I gave birth to 2001... His name is Adam. I raised him for the first five years of his life but he was adopted by my cousin in 2006 and I have not seen him since. The biggest reason was because his father and I were too young in the first place to have him, but I refused to get an abortion even though everyone said that would be the best thing for me. I, being 14 years old and with an attitude, thought that I could take on anything, even parenting, and pretty much shrugged off everything that all the people in my life were warning me about. I love Adam with my whole heart and know that I will again reunite with him someday, and I will be sure to be more than ready to embrace him with loving and open arms. I also plan to have more children. With all the things I have been learning about nutrition over the last few years, as I have been researching a LOT on it, I feel confident that I will have such an advantage in that department when it comes to meal planning and nutrition implementation for my future kid(s). I can't wait to give my kids the best of the best of foods! And when I'm pregnant, I will eat SO well! I have come a long ways in recognizing the important of the role of the foods we put in to our bodies, and it has made me all the wiser :)
