finding the time

Finding the time to get it all done doesn't seem so impossible....however, I never have enough time to get it all done. Who does? Can they share the secret with me?

All I have to do is Breathe, just breathe!

Completely

They are so easy to forgive...they let you love completely, they let you give your heart completely...they love you completely...even when school mornings get a little crazy! I will always love them completely!

A Teenager at Five...

Right now I have a teenager at five...I don't know what to do with her. Is this a life lesson early? Am I being set-up for our future? I hope we get over this part soon....I miss her sweet little giggle...her sweet smile...I miss her. I know she is still in there, it was a rough week last week. I think we will hopefully get over this hill...after a rough morning of crying and yelling....she walks out the door and looks back at me and shouts..."I LOVE YOU!"...and my heart melts. Little moments come and go...but there are those few that you will never forget!

Summertime

My two have been as busy as bees.  Baseball camp, Soccer camp, Swim lesson, Dance class and just about anything else I can fit in.  I love watching them soak it all up....I love that they are challenged everyday with something new, fun and exciting.  However, I never thought I would be the one that is exhausted.  I have had a blast...but is summertime over yet?  

I need a nap!

No day like today

So, today is just one of those days where you just have to be grateful.  

Today I am blessed, my husband is one lucky guy to still have work, my son "my own Chicken Little" hit a home run, Seanie turned a great project in we all worked on...and my daughter just made my morning with three little words.  

These things, yes, little as they may be...will never be passe'...will never dimish the joy and love we have.  Things around will change constantly...but these moments...make other moments...that aren't so pleasent...seem not so bad.

There just isn't any other day..like today.  

that little moment

There is always this moment in the wee hours of the morning when the air becomes very still.  The moon illuminates my room and I lay there with bated breath... waiting for the silence to break. The air is so still that the only thing I hear is the beating of my heart, it is eerie and exciting all at the same time.  I lay there...waiting for silence to be broken, and when it does come, I am somehow sad....I know that the day must begin, that the moment must move on...and my brain starts rushing...waiting for that single little silent moment again.  I take it all in...then the dog licks my face...now I know I am awake.

Dog Dog

My son has a stuffed animal, affectionately known as "Dog, Dog"....he loves it more than life itself.  I love it!...It simply warms my heart when I pick it up, it smells like him, it smells loved....I picked it up this morning and simply thought that I would never let this go.  A piece of my son I will cherish forever.
