Time is Flying By

Well, time keeps flying by. We have been and still are not all up to par. I am not well, either. I just thought I would post to let you know that we are still all here. I look forward to posting about number #4's History fair project and #5's Drama festival experience. Please stay tuned!

Birthday Craz'

Wow, what a busy month. We have three birthdays this month. My Husband will be 36, James turns 4 on Saturday and Christopher will be 6 on the 16th. Wow, am I busy. That is a lot of cake, parties and presents. I hope they all have a wonderful time on their special days because they are all special to me.

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart

Here is my birthday man. He hardly looks a year older. Just as handsome as always!

Lost in Action

Sorry for the time lapse but life sometimes hits hard. This has been one of those times as many round me are sick and require special attention. My mother who is very, very ill also came down with a virus which has put her in the hospital and to the emergency room. This virus, maybe just a normal virus for most of us but to those with serious illnesses, this is dangerous stuff. I am very worry as I see her breathing worsen and her spirit sink down. She is a stubborn lady and I think that , that is what has kept her alive this long. I love my mom and as it has only been her and I for quite some time now, I worry how I will ever take her passing. I know that it has got to happen sometime. She is making comments about her pending death and that it is just a slow one. These comments worry me. It is like she is giving up or something. I hope that she is strong enough to overcome this one. I just want as much time with her as I can get, call me greedy. Well, on a much happier note, we had a great day outside yesterday. The temperature went to eight and we went out for James to ride on his bike. He is doing such as great job. I am hopeful that spring weather maybe here to stay soon, very soon.

Happy April Fool's Day!

The best thing about April fool's day, is that it is over again for another year. I really love holidays but not this one. Maybe some year I will change my mind but for now,no way!

Teenagers

Teenagers are bad news right. Full of themselves, mean and crazy. Right?
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong, so wrong
I have two teenagers and will soon have three and I think that they are so wonderful. I can think of so many situations where they have truly risen to the occasion, so to speak. They are not perfect, but than neither am I. They have their share of problems but than again so do I. I want to share with you a simple example. I was going to the hospital to check on a friend, who is in with her little girl. With me not being home that meant that one of my teens and the soon to be teen had to babysit. There were no complains and the teenager insisted that I took the rest of the homemade chocolate chip cookies that she made the night before. Little did my teen know that the little girl was not eating or drinking and the nurses and Mom were concerned. When the little one saw the cookies, she just started eating them like there was no problem at all, then she started on a banana. Hurray! Hurray for my friend's little one and Hurray for my teen. I think that without the doubt I have had the privilege to meet so many amazing teens.
