Day 2 of my 30 day challenge: The Meaning Behind My Name

Well if you go online my names means.
Amanda is a name derived from Latin, meaning "worthy of love." In the latter part of the seventeenth century, the freshness of Restoration drama in England included the creation of bright new character names, especially for women. Most of them had a Latin root. Amanda made its first appearance in this way, later turning up in romantic poetry and novels.

Amanda (or AMANDA) may refer to one of several things.

In entertainment
"Amanda," a popular song by arena rock band Boston.
Amanda, a 1984 novel by Candice F. Ransom.
the Amanda, a movie award given annually at the Norwegian International Film Festival in Haugesund, Norway.

But according to my mother the song Amanda by the rock band Boston was playing when she went into labor and that is how I was named. Well at least that is what I have always been told.  Here are the songs lyrics;

Amanda Lyrics
Artist(Band):Boston
 
Babe, tomorrow's so far away
There's something I just have to say
I don't think I can hide what I'm feelin' inside
Another day, knowin' I love you
And I, I'm getting too close again
I don't want to see it end
If I tell you tonight will you turn out the light
And walk away knowin' I love you?

I'm gonna take you by surprise
And make you realize, Amanda
I'm gonna tell you right away,
I can't wait another day, Amanda
I'm gonna say it like a man
And make you understand, Amanda
I love you

And I feel like today's the day
Lookin' for the words to say
Do you wanna be free, are you ready for me
To feel this way
I don't wanna lose you
So, it may be too soon, I know
The feeling takes so long to grow
If I tell you today will you turn me away
And let me go?
I don't wanna lose you

I'm gonna take you by surprise
And make you realize, Amanda
I'm gonna tell you right away,
I can't wait another day, Amanda
I'm gonna say it like a man
And make you understand, Amanda
Oh girl

You and I
I know that we can't wait
And I swear, I swear it's not a lie girl
Tomorrow may be too late
You, you and I girl
We can share a life together
It's now or never
And tomorrow may be too late

And, feelin' the way I do
I don't wanna wait my whole life through
To say I'm in love with you


I just love this song.

DAY 1 of my 30 day challenge. MY FAVORITE QUOTE

Day one is going to be about my favorite quote which is :
"To the whole world you might be just one person, but to one person you might just be the whole world."(unknown)

 This quote to me means that even though I am just one person in this universe where there is many people. I just might be the one person the matters to a certain person. It could be a mom to my children, that friend who is there when you need someone to talk to, or even the wife to a husband who loves her. So when I am feeling down and like I don't matter I tell myself that there is someone out there that I matter a lot to and that is enough to brighten my day and make me know that all will be okay. There are those special people that I have that if no one else in this world could care about them I want them to know that I care about them. Every one matters in my life for a certain reason, as well as everyone has a purpose in my life at some time or another. I hope that this all made since to that special person whom is my whole world.

First Day of School

So this year the babies grew up on us and the oldest Birdie started the 6th grade which is very hard for me to grasp the concept that she is old enough to go to a middle school. Our youngest Boogie started the 1st grade and that was a big day for mommy to know that he was growing up and would survive at a school without his sister. Both of the kids really enjoyed their first days of school and even made new friends. Thankfully mommy was able to take them both to school. But I only have pictures of Birdie before we left the house because when we got to the school she said "Please mom no pictures" so mommy listened and left the camera in the car and we took her inside to meet her teacher and leave her with 1200 other kids in this big school. GUESS WHAT? She survived and had a great day and had lots of stories even though she was only at school for half a day. I hope she will be excitied to go to school everyday. After we dropped her off Boogie and I took off to his school where he lined up with the rest of his class and when it was time he followed his teacher to class and left mommy with the other mommies as we all watched our babies embark on a great school year. So enough of my words i will now leave you with the pictures from that day and I hope you enjoy them.

My version of 30 days about me challange

I have been reading a few blogs and I have decided to take a 30 day challenge and see if maybe I can stick with it and maybe learn something new about myself. So starting tomorrow I am going to start my 30 day challenge. Of course I will be adding other blogs of things that happen here at our house. I have been dealing with some inner feelings and I am hoping with this challenge I will be able to do that. So stay tuned for the next 30 days to come.
