Slow Obedience is ........

We have really been having a time with Kyle and his behavior. It is the talking back and telling us he is not going to do what we tell him.

Well, thank God for my Mom tell me something to try.

She told me when were visiting them the other week that a Kindergarten teacher at her work really uses obedience as her golden rule. Her saying is Slow Obedience is Disobedience. So I started trying. If I tell Kyle to pick up his and he doesn't start right then or says something back I have tell me what he is doing he says " Slow obedience is disobedience" So Kyle what are you suppose to do? Pick up my toys OK so that is what I want to see. It works!!! He cleans up his toys, puts his own clothes on all by himself. I only have to tell him once.



We also have been rewarding him with a movie rental bbonce a week for Best Behavior. The movie rentals are only .99 ea to rent.

We started a chart with very best behavior, best, good and bad behavior. That counts for treats to no treats.

and

I am so glad that both of these things are working!!!



Thank you mama!! I couldn't live with out you!!!!!

A prayer so sweet.

My heart is happy when I am laying down with Layla and I am almost asleep forgetting one very important thing and little hands grab mine and say mommy pray!

It makes my heart happy when I have the plates at the table and Kyle says mommy: When need to pray!

It makes my heart happy when I hurt myself and Layla says: Mommy I kiss it and pray for you.

It makes my heart happy when Kyle wants to pray for dinner and this is what he says: Dear Jesus thank you for today and for this food. Amen.

It makes my heart happy to see my children love Jesus so innocently. Wow thank you God for guiding me daily with my two miracles that you have trusted with me!

Great New for the Donellans

It is tuesday and it feels like Friday

This week has been rough already and it is only Tuesday!
Well, yesterday was a Monday...... we all know that Mondays are like.
Today was awful! Being a new hire/ re-hire you have to take a bout 10 web base classes and test to go with them in the first 15 days of hire. well I have to do it in ten! well, five actually because we were given the list on Friday.
I failed 2 test and have to retake it. It is crazy cause I only missed it by one on each of them.
Well, for me when I take test and do well it starts messing with my mind. That I am not smart enough and dumb for this. Now I know am none of these but it is just the feeling that I get. I truly believe I have testing anxiety. I have always had a problem with this. After I get over the anxiety I always turn out a good grade.

So on top of all that I also cooked dinner and then I have had to finish packing. So I don't have to at last minute.

I am stressing and you can tell by my face! Which I never break out.

Aghhhh I want this all to be over!!!!

Happy Birthday Baby!!!!

Today is Steven's 31st Birthday!!!!!

Happy Birthday Baby!

You are the love of my life and so happy to celebrate getting old with you! ; )

I am so proud of you! IN everything that you do!
Especially this week...... you have been amazing and I thank you for that!!!!!!!!!!
I hope your day has been as special as you hoped for!


I love you!

Updates on new job!!!!

These past few days have been CRAZY!!!!!

Monday: I left the house at 6 am .... that means i got up at 5 am. Got downtown @ 7:30 and went to discovery (orientation). BORING.... this was my second time to Discovery!

Tuesday: Observation at the branch! It was good to be back at the same branch I was once at. I loved see the customer I loved so dearly and still remember!



Today: I was @ the Sugar Loaf branch and will be tomorrow. Just a few classes learning products and policies and such.



Friday and ALL next week I will be in training Medical Center Branch.





Yeah that is right. We had the understanding that I was going to be in training just this week then on the Job next but that is not the case!

Oh, well it all good!



The Kids, Steven and I are all adjusting well!

I don't know what it would be like if the kids were not at CCC. I am so glad they are not at a daycare place.



They have really helped with this transition!



Thank you ALL for all the prayers and thoughts this week! It has greatly helped me.



Monday was the hardest..... As I was leaving and Layla didn't understand why Mommy was leaving. She started crying and well...... I did too!! It got better and now is near normal now!!



Again Thank YOU ALL!!!!!
