Mother's Day

Mother's Day went nicely. We didn't get to go and play at the park like we wanted to. I rained ALL DAY!!! I did start out the day enjoying a very nice breakfast made by the Daddy and the kids. A and B did most of the work, but C and D did help a little. They all helped eat it! It was "dewiscious"...as C so nicely put it. I also received some nice cards and gifts made at school by A, B, and C. We then went to church, stopped by the cemetery for the Daddy's Mother, and then went to my Mom's for dinner. It was nice overall. We didn't do much, but the time we spent together and the joy on all the kids faces as they put themselves out there to do something nice for me was really all I needed after all! I am truly blessed!

I can't believe it has been so long since my last post. It was the night before Easter the last time I was here. Easter went well. It was a day of joy, peace, and reflection for me. My "babies" are all so very wonderful, and I am so very blessed. My cup runneth over! We spent part of our Easter Sunday with my Grandma (and my Aunt and her family, as my Grandma lives with her). This is not our norm. We usually spend these holidays with my parents and family...however, this year Grandma and Grandpa were in Hawaii. All four kids took the change in our Easter festivities in stride and had a wonderful time. When we arrived home from our visit, Daisy (Grandma and Grandpa's dog) had helped herself to chocolate and jelly beans! I don't know how she got on the table...I don't think I want to know either! I also don't know how she managed to NOT get sick. Thank You God for small miracles!

Since then, life has been trudging along. I have been in a bit of a funk as of late, and am trying to get out and stay out. There are some very negative people in our world, and I have let them get to me. I am trying to pull away from them to get back to a brighter side of life...My children, my husband, and myself deserve that.
So, I am working on myself. I am worth it, my kids and husband are worth it. Our family is a most precious gift...SO VERY WORTH IT!

I have lots of little notes to make here. Lots of tidbits about life here with my beautiful blessings. I will leave them here a little at a time...

...starting tomorrow. I deserve a good nights sleep.

Until later...
