WaNtEd..... TiMe To StAnD StiLL !

I wish I could freeze my kids at the ages they are at. Even if I could just make it last one more year. They are so fun ( for the most part) and aside from the squabbles and fights to get to bed, do homework brush hair and teeth etc. etc. etc. they are really, really fun right now! They are getting more independent and honestly, they love each other. I have caught them hugging and telling each other " I love you" often these days and it melts a mom's heart.

They are friends and they still love their parents so much. I long to keep it as is as long as I can. I know that the past eight and a half years have flown by. The next will do the same.

WhAt Has HaPpEnEd?

First off, let me say that my blog is having some serious problems! I feel like I am in the movie Back To The Future and my image has faded away into oblivion. Perhaps I will wake up and find that I am richer and thinner and drive a better car. Or..... perhaps it is simply that the header on this blog malfunctioned and my amazing web designer, Nicole is going to fix it, since I have no earthly clue. In the meantime let me just say that I am doing well, my kids are well and my husband is busy, busy, busy since it's the Legislative Session.

More to come............

" To LoVe aNd Be LoVed In ReTuRn "

It's always fun to celebrate Valentine's Day! I made a " mailbox" and we write little notes to each other and put them in the box. It is a fun way to show our love to one another and the kids have fun doing it. After all, "All you need is love!"

I aM sO gLad We DiD!!

I, along with everyone else witnessed a really great chapter in history this morning. I am so proud of our Country and for our first African/ American President. I like saying " President Obama" I think it sounds really good. I am glad that I kept my eight year old home from school to watch it with us, even if her teacher was rude to me when I took her later in the day. I am glad that my kids will grow up remembering this as " normal" I am proud to be an American. As one of my friends who works for the UN said today.... " I am so proud to be American, it hurts."

God Bless America!! And God bless all of us.
