3 Things I Learned in 2012
4 Comments   life, me, Uncategorized
Continuing with this week of reminiscing of the year gone by I learned a few things that I want to pass along for 2013.

Both take practice to be able to realize that everything takes time and what you...

With Thanksgiving tomorrow I get to spend time with my kids, hubs and family at the same time which really makes me reflect on what I'm Thankful for. This year I'm thankful for so many things but one thing very much stands out to me and has touched on everything I do on a daily basis. Also events around Facebook and blogland have really made me thankful for how lucky I am to get to be doing...

Back to School
2 Comments   life, Uncategorized
Yesterday I got the kids (BOTH!) off to school on the bus. It was my son's first day riding the school bus to go to all day school. The weather for an important picture day was sooo not cooperating. It was rainy and dark (gorg this morning... dang the luck!) but that didn't dampen spirits at all! I was so totally excited about my first day since having kids that they would both be in school...

Naps all around!
4 Comments   life
Yesterday I was devastated with a fever... devastated as in brain was frying and I was in charge of the munchkin parade around here. Brain function was next to nothing yet to keep myself from falling asleep and then having the parade turn into a war zone I cleaned about everything. Weird, eh? Today all I want to do is to settle down like my Dude up there and take a nap, 2 hours of getting in...

Rainy days and goodbyes
3 Comments   life
The storm held off yesterday until shots rang out in salute and the drops grew steady and forlorn as taps echoed. The rain reflected the feeling of the last week and though we were all wet nothing could have been more appropriate to hide the tears than the sky's own.
