My Name is Deanna Coleman, I am a mother of THREE beautiful Children! I am the wife of an awesome and purpose driven husband! I am a Daughter, sister, Auntie, Friend, and I am AWESOME!
My Job is a Daycare Provider of 10 more Amazing little children! I get to see them grow, learn, and Play! I get to see them both at their worst and their best!
My Most important job though is being a mommy.... I have a 6 year Old daughter who just completed the 1st grade with PERFECT ATTENDANCE!!!!! She loves to dance, write, color, do anything involving art, and watch TV! She is so very friendly and growing up so fast! I have a 3 year old son, who is equally amazing! He is talking so much, he enjoys seeing his friends everyday but lets me know through frustration when he has had enough! I work on him with Sharing and being nice and then realize that in fact he is sharing every day! He has to share his mommy, his toys, his life with all these other kids, I suppose that is very stressful and frustrating at times, he does pretty good! I have a 1 year old Daughter who is just learning to walk! She is talking, saying many different words, Expressions are priceless, she is very smart!
My hobbies include: Community Service, Making others see the potential in themselves, pushing others to give it their all and realize that their happiness is all up to them! I love to dance, sing, play, stretch, walk, and Run (This is something I do in my head right now) LOL. I love meeting new people... although upon becoming a mother I have a very hard time meeting new people.... its an unexpected fall back, but i'm working on that!
My fears include cram packed rooms... (Of people), Losing someone (I go overboard on this one), Hurting someones feelings, not living up to my own expectations of myself.
My favorite colors are: green, Pink and Purple, blue, well I pretty much LOVE all colors!
My husband along with being my best friend is also my motivator! I can get down and he picks me up and throws me back into life! :P He is a Flight Paramedic for Black Hills Life Flight! He is the Base Manager there. He is a photographer, teacher, music fanatic, and loves to be free! He loves to take risks and strive for the best he can be! I've never met a man as strong as he is! He of course made his life, he made mistakes, he had his whole world fall over top of him, and then he picked himself up piece by piece and made himself better than he's ever been in his life! I love him so very much!
This life I live, is the LIFE! Its awesome! Its perfect! We all have our ups and downs but the downs make me stronger, they give me purpose to strive to jump higher! I appreciate the downs and I love the ups! I learn everyday through others, through my own experiences! I CHOOSE TO LOVE MY LIFE as it is! I choose to work hard to make it even more AWESOME!
Just thought I'd let you know a little more about myself and my life :) Hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed writing it :)

Taking Care of ME!
Taking Care of Me: The Habits of Happiness By: Mary Kay Mueller.
I have to say before I start that this woman is amazing.... I admire her and thank her very much for many of my thoughts and feelings, truths and path in the last few weeks..... I had already been on the path i'm going now, but she inspired me to go BIGGER, do MORE, enjoy it more and remember to take care of myself while I'm on my mission of helping others...... I am so blessed to have met her in person! I wish I could have sat down and talked to her for a few whole days or weeks! She just radiates her passion and her awesomeness......
So I am 8 pages into this book (Which I HIGHLY recommend!) and I've come across the first things I want to blog about..... YOUR POWER>....... HMMMM Did you know you have powers? They are SUPER powers and we all have them! I know I have power I have seen it work in many ways.... Through me and through others I've talked to.... I'm not trying to sound all high and mighty.... I'm actually talking about the power to choose.... Choose what you want with your life, choose your own path.... This POwer is YOURS you should never give it away unless it helps with your happiness and even then you don't give that thing/person all your power becuase again this is YOUR power :)
Okay I'll get to it..... This was my post on Facebook this morning:

So much Emotions......
Today is a great day over all! Its a continued snow week! Brooklyn had school Monday and has not had school since! Its like another Spring break! Only longer :) She is enjoying this very much and is also very concerned about her PERFECT attendance :) You see she heard that if she had perfect attendance the entire school year that she would be put into a drawing for a FREE IPad and boy oh boy has this girl been working hard to keep her PERFECT attendance!!!!
I have 3 extra kids here at daycare today and my 3 so a total of 6 kids! They have enjoyed building a 4 bedroom TENT in the toy room, helping me clean the bathroom (Not really) but they thought they were! LOL, Looking out the window identifying the things we see, singing songs, reading books and doing a few exercises!
So yesterday I woke up at my usual 3:45am to feed the baby and I was not full..... This bothered me a bit or more than a bit because I hadn't planned on stopping breastfeeding until Azylen was a year old and I have about a month left! But there was no milk.... I drank alot of water and ate healthy all day yesterday and still nothing..... I guess I have just stopped producing milk. This is so emotional for me because I feel like I wasn't ready and that I didn't get the choice! Azylen seems to be doing fine with this! She has been weaning for about 3 weeks now. She gets whole milk at lunch time, and now she'll get it all the time.... So far no constipation, or belly aches... :) I think she will be fine... and I'm sure I'll be fine soon..... After all I finally have my body back! I should be excited right?!?!?!?
hmmmmm On another Note this Snow storm has completely made me lose all Spring cleaning desire and all that hard work I did for the past two weeks or more is like GONE! The house is a mess, crowded, cluttered, and the laundry is piling up again! And my KITCHEN is like a tornado went through it.....
Well this is a very random post! I hope you're all having a great day! I am having a great day despite the decision my body made all by itself!!!! I guess its time to start working out again! :P LOL My only excuse not to run is gone.... NOW the excuse is its too cold! LOL have a wonderful day!

Finding Deanna Again.....
I can truly say I am closer to finding and loving Deanna now than ever before!
Life is so much easier and fun when you love yourself! When you find something that defines you and helps you love yourself! When you find that purpose in life and you just know that's something God put you on this Earth to do?!?!?!
Don't get me wrong I still stress and have bad days but for so long now I haven't truly known myself or loved myself! I'm still on the road to self discovery but I feel so confident I am on the right path!
My husband asked me at the breakfast table this morning "Do you feel successful?" I answered at first without thinking, "sometimes!" Then as I ate my oatmeal I thought about it I never feel unsuccessful I just feel more successful some days than others! So yes I feel Successful!
Things I've been successful at lately:
-potty training not just my own child but 5 others.
-breast feeding for 11 months now!
-having a first grader who has gotten a 100% on every spelling test this year except 1!!!!!!
-loving my children with all my heart
- there is so much more but for now I'm going to enjoy the sound of sleeping babies!

OH The Things you'll do :) The Places You'll go!!!!
Oh The Things You'll Do and The Places You'll GO!
I tell you what, If you would have asked me 10 years ago what I'd be doing in 2013 I would have told you I'd have a family, I'd be a HIgh School Counselor and I'd still be in Martin SD :) I guess I was pretty right!!!! In 2003 I graduated from High School! HUGE point in my life! I planned a BRIGHT awesome future and it was all just beginning :) I was finally getting out of the house and I didn't have a curfew anymore :) :) :) If anyone told me being an adult was hard I'd laugh and say NO ITS AWESOME!!!!!! And get this I LOVED to pay bills! and I loved having my name ON the bills!
At any rate not I didn't waver from my dreams very far! Although I am NOT a High School Counselor, I do have a family! AND I do live in Martin SD!!! But I've had an awesome journey these last 10 years! I am a Home Daycare Provider and i'm dang proud of it! Not only do I get to stay home with my own children I also get to watch other ones babies and care for them as if they were my own! I have the best job in the world! Although when I grow up I would still like to be a Counselor but that has changed as well, Instead of High School I'd like to work in a Group Home or a Job Corp or something of the sort with Troubled young adults who just need a positive PUSH in the right direction! I'd also like to own my own business and be an AWESOME community member! Although I still think being an adult is AWESOME!!! and I still love to pay bills WITH my name on them! I do agree that being an adult is hard sometimes! Gosh, when you're sick you don't get mommy anymore! And you have to worry about staying home sick because if you don't go to work you won't have the money you need to pay the bills with your name on them :) OH and you have to become your parents in a sense when everything finally CLICKS and you realize that they WERE in fact right!!!! LOL and then you start scolding your child the SAME way your parents scolded you!
Making friends is harder too in the grown up world.... and maintaining friendships, juggling them with family and work and all the other things that come out of nowhere, where does time with friends fit in? You certainly have to work harder!
My mom told me to "GO SEE THE WORLD" Go while you're still young and you don't have a family!!!! So I did I decided to become a nanny! and I moved 1600 miles away from home and everything I ever knew! My friends, family, LiFE to move to the UNKNOWN and see the UNKNOWN!!!! Who would have ever thought........
So anyways.... I loved my adventure and I'll probably tell my own children the exact same thing when they graduate high school..... However I hope they come back or don't move too far away.... I can't imagine life without my babies! (Wait is that early onset Empty nest syndrome starting?!?!!?)
SO I made the front page of the Local Newspaper today! I"m super stoked! I'm famous again! I hadn't made the front page for 10 whole years! I have to say i'm pretty proud and i'm not afraid to gloat :P
I hope you all have had a wonderful day!

All New To ME!!!!!
Hello everyone, and welcome to Deannas Blog Spot!
So my thoughts for today......
I got a new computer from work yesterday, complete with a great set of instructions and shortcuts (aka My Husband!) The Computer is the MacBook Pro 15 inch!!!!! Whoo Hooo!!!!! yay me
So I am figuring out all these cool new things I can do with my computer that can go anywhere with me AND hook up to the internet!!! YAY~~ So goes my BLOG Site!
ATTN: Aunt Roseanna, I am doing this Blog space because I think yours is SO COOL and you are able to communicate with two worlds/homes: what I mean is South Dakota is home but so Is Virginia, so now I can let Both places know whats up at all times!!!
Well today I feel good, I feel guilty that I could not be home to Remember Grandma Haynes; to be there for my family and everyone that means so much to me. But everyone has been in touch with me and making me feel like I'm not such a bad person for not being able to be there.
Thank you to everyone... I love you all and I'm sorry I can't be there. I can't wait to see you all
PS I will be home in May for everyone to know!
Hugs Deanna
