Introducing the Young Family

I have always wanted to be a writer and I am a scrapbook fanatic so I decided I would start a blog. That's one way to force myself to write every day. One day before I die I plan to write a novel. Until then this blog will have to do. Nothing much is going on in my life right now. Just work and taking Aaliyah to school and to the mall and over to a friends house. You get the picture. I am Aaliyah's official chauffer. Okay since going to school to be a court reporter my spelling also stinks. Anyway just wanted to say hello and let you know what is going on in my life right now. Take care and God Bless! Mama Young

It's My Birthday!

Well the Lord has blessed me to see another year and I am so thankful. I won't tell you how old I am because a women should never reveal her age or let's just say I like to keep you guessing. My husband always made a big deal on my birthday and treated me like the queen that I am so since his death my children have taken over the task of making me feel special and they really out did themselves this year. My friends also made me feel special. Sharmina called me early in the morning to wish me a happy birthday and my friend Vicki surprised me by giving me a gift. I tell you what it was a little later. Then all my facebook friends wished me a happy birthday. I tell you a woman could not feel more loved than I did today. My children asked me where I wanted to go for dinner and I decided to try Morton's. I wanted to go somewhere I had not been before and my friend Tshura told me to try Morton's and to tell the kids to make sure they told them it was my birthday when they called to make the reservation. Well when we got there they handed us a menu that said Happy Birthday Sheila! Lol! Then they came to our table and took a picture of and put it in a picture frame that said Morton's on the front of it. I think we are going to use this picture for our christmas card this year. Tshura told me what was good on the menu so I pretty much stuck to that. The french onion soup was really good like she said and so was the bread. Then my children gave me my gifts. Eddie got me a gift certificate to Archiver's and Kristina got me a charm for my Pandora bracelet. My friend Vicki also got me a Pandora charm. I guess great minds think alike. My father sent me money like he always does and it was greatly appreciated. My mother however forgot it was my birthday and did not call until a week later to say happy birthday. I am an only child so how she forgot is beyond me. In spite of my mother forgetting my birthday I had a fabulous time. My daughter Kristina who has her Dad's sense of humor said that we are not taking any more suggestions from Tshura because Tshura has expensive tastes. My son who is usually the cheap one said what the heck you only live one I am going to enjoy myself. Kids you gotta love them! Thank you my babies for one of the best days ever. The icing on the cake would have been if my husband was here to share this day with us but I believe he was there in spirit. Oh yea and I got my Spring Fling Cake too. God is so good! Thank you for blessing me with such wonderful children. Until next time take care and God bless!
