This started as a weekly e-mail to keep my out of state family in touch with my kids. It has evolved into a blog for family and friends about my family's trials, tribulations and my various inner monologues...
My favorite quote
"I just wanted to tell you that your kids are the ONLY reason I will have kids when I'm older..." Helen. 7/24/09
I took the boys bowling on Monday. We turned out to be the troublemakers at the alley that afternoon. While I was answering a phone call, Jack decided that our lane wasn't good enough and THREW his ball down the lane next to us. We had to ask the manager to retrieve the ball as that lane wasn't open at the time. 10 minutes later Wy decided to roll the ball from as far away from the lane as possible and before I could catch it, it too went rolling down the defunct lane beside us. Again we had to ask the nice man behind the counter to get our ball back.

A Return to Love by Marianne Wiliamson
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
The Singing Fire by Lilian Nattel
"It isn't true that a mother is born with her child. It may happen sometimes by an act of grace, but most often a mother is made as she struggles with her need for sleep and freedom of movement, over and over choosing to hold and feed and wrap a loudly wailing, soft-skinned being that produces marvelously pungent odors."
