life rewound...

i find myself in a weird state these days. yea, more weird than normal! this thing we call life seems to be in fast forward mode for me. just yesterday, jacob was "ghost riding" his bicycle and wes was wearing those darn goggles around his neck while he peddalled the tractor up and down the driveway...today jacob has a family and has served in afghanistan and wes is a senior in high school with a steady girlie friend. i want to have full access to life's rewind button...just for a day! i miss the little boy smell that they kept tucked away behind their cute lil' ears!

Time Travel Reflections

I'm not really sure where time goes...one day it's New Year's Eve and the next day....well it's May 1st...Happy May Day!

I consider myself very blessed...good health for myself and my family, I've got the best of friends, I'm able to work to support my family (and my frivolous needs), there's a roof over my head, food in the frig and best of all, I'm a Geema!

I've always wanted to be a geema...I've always sensed that it would be one of the most wonderful things that you could be blessed with! Peyton is only 9 months old however she is very often on my mind and inbedded in my heart...I am very blessed

2010 brought many GREAT things into my life and along with theses great things came wisdom! I realize that I work too hard and play too little...
I realize that the people that are important to me may not know just how important they are!
I realize that it is inevitable that we age...the key is to do it gracefully!
I realize that I have swept certain events in my life under the rug hoping the hurt wouldn't hurt so much if I forgot about them...it didn't work
I realize that some people need to be saved; even if they don't think so
I realize that we send our children off to war to fight for things that we can't even explain...
I realize just how proud I am of my children...thinking of them brings tears to my eyes, EVERYTIME!
I realize just how much Russ puts up with from me and I love him just that much more
I realize now that I am a G-ma why people say "that if they had known that Grandchildren would be so much fun that they would have had them first!" I've said it myself...
I realized that having Pickles in my life makes EVERYTHING all better!
I realized what having a daughter is like...thanks Crystal
I realize that life is just to dang short....so my word for 2011 is SIMPLIFY!
