Change

I am still up in the air about this..Do I like change?

hmmm.... not sure yet...

I know change is good. sometimes it is easy and other times it is hard,
or complicated..Often it may be rather sad and difficult.

My favorite kind of change is the EASY!! I like it when you have a change of some kind and it is the difference is there, but barely noticable. It flows well into your life and the ripple effect is a small one. I find it difficult sometimes to adjust to those major changes...I try really hard to go with the flow and roll with the punches, and I do have to say that I can roll really well. What I dont like is when the change is something that I really DONT want to do, or commit too. Oh well sometimes, you have to do what you have to do... You just cant help it... Life must go on!! And wether or not I like change, I know that as a person, I can only grow if I change (even on a daily basis)!! So Bring on the CHANGE!! I am ready!

Just another RANDOM POST!!

What do you think?

I vividly remember my mom and dad often questioning "what were you thinking?". I have recently come to realize that often the truth to that question now would be "nothing". Yep i often find myself thinking about absolutely nothing at all. I wonder if that is normal, or do I have ADD or something? But you know, The really sad part is it sometimes occurs when I should be thinking of atleast something. Please be sure not to tell my children or Keith about this revelation, I will never hear the end of it.!! Sometimes I wonder if maybe I just block things out so I dont have to face whatever it may be. You know if i dont think about it or acknowledge it, It cant be real!! :) (Or so I tell myself!) I do try really hard to keep it all together and be on top of things, but sometimes you just have to let things go... We are not PERFECT!! I definately dont pretend to be! I love life and I Love people, but I often make mistakes. I try to learn from them the first time, but that doesnt always happen. Maybe by the third!! Who knows! Practice does make perfect doesnt it?? If you totally get where I am, I would love to hear from you... and know what you THINK!!

WOW


Have you ever woke up one morning and wondered where did the time go?? I did today, last week was spring Break and it started with Easter. So Easter has come and gone, along with it Spring Break...The long list of things to do still hasnt had anything taken off of it. We did get to go to the beach (not the ocean) and get a nice sunburn... I did apply sunscreen atleast twice on everybody!! The disgusting peeling has begun..We went to Pine Mountain and hung out with some of our FAVORITE PEOPLE!! Chase and Joci, you know who you are!! Then we just played games as a fam and hung out with each other!! It was a really sweet and fun Week! I just hated to see it go so quickly! So now we are in the quick run til the end of the school year!! WOW!! CRCT testing has begun and before you know it summer will over. I am so reminded to enjoy the moment and cherish those around me..My kids are growing up soooooo fast. It is really fascinating and yet a little scary to watch. They are fabulous individually, but work wo well together. I love being with them all. I also love to share them with others so if you are reading this blog, know that I love you and am very thankful that you are in my life!!
