My photo
Every morning I wake up with a head full of things to do. I scramble around trying to put them in lists of importance all while trying to keep the peace within my little brood (trying to recall everything I've learned and read about parenting at the same time.) I love being a wife and the quirks that come with having my man forever. I love to be creative and thrive on crossing off my to do list. I strive to find balance and put first things first which brings me PEACE & JOY and allows me to sleep so much easier when I do. I think that one of the secrets to being HAPPY in life is to find that balance. I'm learning how to be kinder to myself and learning patience in progress. Everyday, through the thick and thin of life I'm trying to turn my heart towards heaven and remember what's really important.Oh, and I love to eat, so much so that I love to exercise too.

Turn back Tuesday

Summer 2006
Summer 2008


This summer is half way gone.
Under my breath I count the days until school starts again.
Then, I read nienie:Chickie.
I bawl.
I'm ungrateful.


I went to the funeral of a beloved man yesterday.
He always told me I was his favorite person.
Lots of love from his family.
He served so much.
Perspective stared me in the face.

Last summer flew.
This summer's end is at the door.
My lists won't be as long.
4 little mouths to feed, to kiss, to hear.
Its busy, and not always easy.
I complain, but forget, its what I always wanted.

People say they grow up so fast.
I know.
I was 16 yesterday.
My prayer every day?
Please help me be the mom they need me to be.

    I just read Chickie not 3 seconds ago. Now you're the one saying what I was thinking. (turn back Tuesday)

    You are a wonderful mother. Love them, and love yourself. YOU are exactly the mother that those 4 sweet ones need.

    Thanks DeAnne. I have a very good friend that introduced me to all the songs I'm my blog. If you go to the blogs I read on my sidebar and look for passionista you can see for yourself. I love blogging, being honest, and learning about each other.
