You are loved.

I was fine all day until my sweet girls surprised me.  They have been practicing this

song for a while each time I would leave the home.

This is a very special song to our family.  It reminds us of Michael (my brother).  This song is on his life DVD.  Today it has been 3 years since he passed away. Amazing how time heals a broken heart.  Just seemed like another day.  I was busy with my kids and didn't feel sad at all, until my girls pulled this on me.  I lost it pretty good.  They wanted to share this song with everyone who loves Mike!   Especially Grandma and Grandpa.

                                         Thanks girls....just what I needed.

Where does the time go ? :(

I can not believe he is leaving my side.  I can hardly stand it.  Kindergarden is no big deal.   Once they go to school all day I feel like I have lost them in a way that will never be the same.  I can't even sleep  at night. 

 It just breaks my heart.  I  have tears is my eyes just writing about it. 

Today we celeabrated at Jungle Jim's.

  Jason read 100 books!     I am so proud of him.  He has been such a joy to Wayne and I.  What am I going to do with out him around next year. 

  1. No more Star Wars.
  2.   No more complaining when I need or want to go the store.
  3.   No more days cut in half, waiting for afternoon kindergarden.
  4.   No more telling him to get off the computer.
I am trying to find something positive here....... It's not working.  I am still sad:(

A mothers work is never done.

Monday morning I said to Wayne that I needed to do laundry today.  He was a little taken back and said, "no you don't, I just did it on Saturday?"  He was feeling pretty good about cleaning the house and doing the laundry while I was gone.  I said to him, "that was two days ago."  ??? was the the look I got.  2 days, 8 of us, that is 16 outfits, PJs for the boys, and towels.  He will never totally get it.  And that is OK.  That probably would have  really bugged me a few years ago, but not any more.  I run this house and I know what goes on.  I would hope that nobody else would really know. This is the life I have created for myself and I LOVE it.  Yes I could be replaced by Alice (you know form the Brady Bunch), but I do it all in a loving, serving way. When I was a little girl all I wanted to be when I grew up,was a mom.  Well all my dreams came true.

I did this on my own!!!!

 I went to Womens Conference this weekend with my mom and had a great time.  I came home excited, and I have a lot of goals to work on...one of which is doing my own blog.  Wayne has been doing the blog for a while (pretending to be me)  and it is time for me to figure out how to use a computer.

I also spent time with my" favorite person in Utah" Anna.  We had a great time catching up.  I had a picture, but I am not really sure where it went.  Back to life as a mom and wife....I almost fainted when I stepped on the scale this morning, BACK TO THE REAL WORLD.  See you next year Womens Conference!
