Sometimes...

...you need to stop and just drink in the small moments of life. *The moment when an aunt told me that it was in my class that her nephew had learned how to study and has succeeded ever since. *You see your son up on stage singing so perfectly you want to cry! *Your three year old is singing along to "Turn me on" at the top of her lungs while your 16 year old just stares in disapproval. *The adrenaline rush you get when you are up on stage singing your heart out or screaming your lungs out as you go on a crazy ride for the SECOND time! *Finding the perfect pen and then realizing that everyone else likes the same kind of pen so you have to hide yours because everyone wants the color that YOU have! *You look over at your 12 year old daughter and think how on earth did I give birth to such a stunning creature?!?? *Listening to Bruno Mars and realizing how perfectly perfect your day was. *Laughing hysterically because it's one in the morning and EVERYTHING is funny!! Well, I guess that's all for now...I'd say more about my life but I am waiting...

The jar lid is too tight...

...and I can't open it! 0.o I tried...I really, really, really tried-the kids tried- but to no avail. *sigh. Not sure if the jar is a metaphor for life or just a subtle suggestion that I need to work on my upper body strength, but there it is. : )

In other news, I seem to be doing okay on the whole get fit thing. For example, I ate salad and fat free milk for dinner. I will admit,though, that it had cheese on it- a lot of cheese!!- and the milk had chocolate syrup. Lol !!! But I'm trying and that's the important part!!!! : )

As for the rest of my life, well, let's just say that the world doesn't stop even when your heart does...

Wednesday...

...middle of the week. *SIGH* One week down...in other news, trying to make travel plans. Heading up to Kanab and Page at the beginning of May. Drew auditioned for regional honor band and is performing then. Also planning on going to visit mom and dad's grave...

And the winner is...

Not me. : ( Life has thrown me some curves before and occasionally I have seen the light at the end. I'm not saying I don't see any glimmers of light...but it's more like that light us being filtered through a very dark cloud...a long distant star that is about to die...a lightning bug all alone in a tall grassy field. *SIGH* I know this too shall pass and maybe my patience is being tested...but just know, O Vast Cyberworld, that I am going through a trying time, trying to do the best I can to survive...

P.S.

Spring is here!!

Twists and turns...

...but life goes on. Starting a new chapter in my life and I wasn't sure I had finished the first half of the book. But sometimes when you're trying to make up your mind, fate steps in and pushes you in a different direction. When this happens, you have to decide if you're going to push back or just see what happens next. I think I'm ready to see what happens next!! Love to all!!

The end of the year...

Guess I haven't written in a while...lol. So this will be my last post of the year because we are about to head in to a new year. 2012. Huh. A leap year, no less. Here's to triumphs and confidence in the new year.
