It is 4:20 a.m. and yes, I know where my children are.
A know a woman who is very successful and has two small children. She is admittedly a high bar achiever but recognizes it and endeavors to keep it in check. She is also a strong Christian. She helped me tremendously yesterday when she changed my perspective somewhat when I was discussing that ever elusive "balance" I was seeking. She told me to replace that word with "harmony". Peace in knowing that today the balance is tipped too heavy on one side but tomorrow we can tip it the other. Life is not balanced! It is an ever swinging pendulum.....PEACE no matter our circumstances is the goal....
I love Law and Order. I just-can't-help-it.
I am getting organized! Eventually the mess really starts to tick me off and I go crazy. My car is clean and the front porch is half done. Lauren's room looks great and I am keeping on going.
My friend invited me to go on a free four day Disney cruise next weekend. It is the right time and I actually COULD but don't know if I actually WILL.
Kate can completely talk and understand everything now. She even gets in trouble like the other girls. When I call a "meeting" and all the girls come running in and line up for the lecture, Kate sees them and comes running up to get in line with them so she can "get it" too.
I think she is quite well adjusted.
She was a bear at the skating rink and I will never take her again if she hasn't napped first.
Next issue has two pieces that are sure to be my all time favorites. Well, one for sure, the other if it comes out well.
I am ready for something different in life but I don't know what.
While waiting for the next stream I noticed my bookshelves. I guess I have more organizing than I thought!
I am thinking about joining the Y...but don't know if it is just one more thing I won't do.

Oh, why would you torment us about the next issue!?!? It's not coming for another month. I loved this issue so I can't wait, but you really are mean because I hate knowing that there is something I don't know! Oh well. I will wait.
Maggie fell asleep on the two
minute car ride home from the rink. And then she woke up as soon as we got home. She cried for an hour straight and I finally put her to bed at 6:45 because she was falling asleep in her highchair. I don't like missing naps.
The cruise sounds like fun. Four days away. Have you ever had that? Just go, you deserve it.
I like the harmony thing. How true that the world isn't balanced. I never thought of it like that.
I always love when you post!
ditto!
wow... cruise sounds great!
that's what I'm learning too... things are NOT going to be balanced. Peace in circumstances is much better anyway, because the only way that is gonna happen is through the Lord... balance requires too many things beyond control!
Nah, not going. My Mom is coming in on Wednesday and it would be just too much!
if you have someone to go with, join the Y and give it a go. Sometimes that helps. I'm back on counting my points... I even counted the scone points... but it was so worth it!
