Never ask us for money. Please!

My life loosely resembles a tornado.
One of those things that sucks up everything in its path and manages to distribute objects here and there and back again.
The objects being distributed are children. When I remember, I get them back again. If I try to keep track of a whole week at a time, I give up in frustration.
So the new motto is survive one day at a time and record everything on the calendar. If something happens to my calendar...
well...
Let's just say I will be up a creek with a leaky boat and without a paddle.
It is all crazy chaotic and a bit of fun.
Yes, all of this insanity is fun.
 In the mornings, we try to get a few things done, and at 7:45 am you will hear A. practicing his Bass, Al. practicing the piano, and H. reading aloud.
My life is a parody of a busy family.
Every time, Brent and I proclaim,
 This is it!
 Enough is Enough!
 No More!
 One of the evil little monsters blinks his or her big brown eyes and we go down like the Titanic.
We are pushovers. Great big Pushovers!
 Never ask us for money. Please!
At the end of the week after all the soccer, football, piano, choir, ect.. ect.. ect.. is over I sit back take a deep breath and feel blessed that I have four kids who are healthy, happy, and learning.
Life is Awesome!

PS  How is that for optimism?

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...

Every Christmas

After every Christmas I make myself a promise. I promise that next year will be different. Next year I will have a plan. Next year I won't try to do everything in December. Next year I will be prepared. Like I said every year I make this promise. Which means I have not followed through, yet. As I look forward to next Christmas I realize that, fingers crossed, I will be working full time as a teacher. I will have a daughter turning 16. I will have a son turning 14 and one turning 10. On top of Christmas!  Next Christmas season is going to be an event! Additionally, this year we worked hard to get presents mailed on time, sent them priority, and they still weren't delivered until after!!! Christmas. To say I was frustrated, stressed, and upset would be an understatement! Which brings me back to the promise I make every year! Next (this) year I will have a plan. Step one of, "Let's Fa La La without Stress." Make a plan. Step two, follow the p...
