Revelation....or not

Always do more for others than you would want done unto to you and you will reap the benefits without asking. My midnight revelation and with that I bid goodnight!

Hesitant to say "we have found our home"

After 2 long years of endless searching....we have a contract on "our home." It fits all of our criteria with many awesome perks we were not even looking for....a pool for one. I will say no more until after closing on August 31, as I wish not to" jinx" myself. I leave it all in God's able hands, as I asked when we made an offer.....please guide us down the path to a nurturing, strong and loving environment that is right for our children to be raised in and make beautiful memories. So with that I bid good night.

Respect

Respect is esteem for, or a sense of the worth or excellence of, a person, a personal quality, ability, or a manifestation of a personal quality or ability. Defined by wikipedia. I recently used this word in a conversation with my 15 year old daughter, and I will at an appropriate time with my other two beautiful girls. As time goes by, my oldest little miss seems to push and push more and more to experience life at a quicker pace....such is 2009 for youth today. I am hanging on by as many threads as I can, but it is exhausting. My recent conversation with her was short but sweet with regards to herself....body and mind. I said to her "Portray respect to yourself and your body in the way you act, dress and conduct yourself or no one else will." I wanted her to know that the way you dress and act will tell others how you expect to be treated and what you are willing to accept in your life by way of acquaintances, career, social situations etc. I can not imagine, the literal (academic) genius that she is, that she does already "get that" so it is my hope that at least 60% of the advice I give to each of my little misses they will carry. That is all I ask, because that is slightly more than half.

It Does My Heart Good!

Tonight after watching my fav tv series The Bachelor with Little Miss 2, while the littlest Little Miss ran between us and Dad. I ran up to have a quick bath. Before I could even blink Little Miss 2 was tapping on the door to let me know our smallest was fast asleep. I love these moments, not because she did the sleep time chore, but because it does my heart good to "feel the love" in my family. These trying "12 and plus years" are enough to send any woman into the crazy house, so I basque in the glory of loving siblings and great deeds that free me up at any moment in the evening.

My Husband is Awesome......

My husband quietly got up this morning and scooted out of the room to grab our jibbering 2 year old. His intention was to let me sleep in, but I couldn't do it. I wish I could sleep in, but for some reason I can only get to about 9 am. Either way I am so grateful that he tried! I feel blessed.

An Interesting Blog

I began following a blog spot a couple of months ago http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ I found this woman so interesting and her (one of many) sweet children and his health an obsession ( in a good way) I could not believe all that her family has endured and while I still follow and pray for her and her family, I realized there are many families who have and/or are "enduring." I feel so lucky to have my health and the health of my family. I feel lucky to have my family period! So tonight I will pray a prayer given to me today by a lovely family I connected with through business. I will ask God to give me more answers to the questions I have and hope that the answers I seek will be clear. I will not ask for the answer I want, but for the answer that has been chosen for me and my family.

My Husband is Awesome

My husband is standing next to me as I post this blog. He is completing a computer build for a client. He has literally saved this client $600.00. He is so excited about this computer build and that he actually built it with his own two hands! It is actually amazing! So I will try now to get him to go to bed, but it is almost going to be impossible as I am not as exciting as this hard drive, monitor gigawhatever, memory, etc, or am I?
