bitter sweet

I had always heard the term bitter sweet, today I experienced it. Kiss Hugs and a Great Life to baby girl. May God surround her and always be present in her life. When the time comes may she see that Jesus is the only way. May she always be safe warm and loved. Please God never let her experience true hunger or loneliness again. Thank you Jesus for giving us a brief moment to love. Thank you for also letting us know when it was time to let go.

ready for the routine

So we have not been doing school for many weeks now as the kids have been doing various summer activities? As we all lay around this morning watching mind numbing TV I realize - I can't wait for school start. I am ready for the routine. Ready for the organization. Ready to feel like I have control again (lol . . I can dream right). Ready for each moment (or at least more moments) to be productive. Now all I need to do is convince the kids . . .

escape from the madness

Have you ever noticed how sometimes that old calgon commercial just seems to be your motto in life? Today is one of those days. I love my family they are the reason that I do what I do. But sometimes just sometimes I would love to scream in the middle of madness "CALGON TAKE ME AWAY". The key to that is that it would truly happen. That somehow by some magical intervention time would stop long enough for you to regain your self motivation and determination to conquer the world.
