Parenting

MY KIDS ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!!
Hi Angel,
Stop reading over my shoulder.
Love,
Mom
LOL, one of my pet peeves, the kids can ignore me for days (unless they need a signature or food) until I sit down at the computer. That's when they all need my attention at once. They all gather around me to vie for my attention, tell me about their days, read over my shoulders and tell me all the things that they have known about for weeks that is suddenly due tomorrow (or was due today that they get half credit for if they turn it in tomorrow). ~sigh~
In fact, as I wrote that paragraph, I learned about "nickel day" (a fundraiser for a student hit by a car last month), a science project about the water cycle, a girl that is picking on my son for "no reason", a new online tracking page for a grade school class, and about five other random facts.
I love my children.
I was tempted to qualify that statement, but it doesn't need any qualifying. They drive me crazy, but really, I wouldn't have it any other way. XOXO Love you guys!

Hello

So, I'm not going to write much tonight, jsut wanted to get the ball rolling. I have been hit by inspiration repeatedly over the head, but I'm not sure what direction to take. I'm hoping that by putting my thoughts down on "paper" it may help me become more focused.
I have a few goals that I want to put down and we can go on from there...
1. I will become more organized in my daily life
2. I will stretch my creative muscles which I'm beginning to fear are atrophying at a dangerous rate.
3. I will laugh and smile and remember/rediscover my joy
not bad for a start. I'll see you all tomorrow...
