Happy to Easter to you all! Time slips by like a comet darting across the sky. It was only yesterday I was filling baskets with chocolate eggs and jelly beans and hid eggs for the kids to find. After all the excitement they rushed to their rooms to make sure the new Easter clothes fit just right. Now my babies are hiding eggs for their babies and my Easter morning seems a little quieter. A little hard to get used to,,,,,but at the same time so very proud of my family for doing what they do and sharing those babies with us. I love you all,,,,,mom

Another day at the FS,,,,,,,,

Another day at the FS,,,,,this week has been a very trying week for me. A week full of angry emotions that overruled any and all thoughts of trying to look at things in a logical way... Because of an error caused by another, I ended up without a paycheck. So needless to say, my mood has been justified. Funny how the one that caused the problem and put me in a financial situation many are faced with right now, has seemed to make light of his error.......probably because he was paid, while I struggled for three solid days to correct the problem I didn't create!!! Finally today, a partial payment was deposited in my depleating account. I guess I am addressing this in my blog because there are so many people out of work and for a brief time, I walked in their shoes. Although I knew "eventually" money would come,,,,they don't. And what a feeling that has caused me to experience....ugh!! I thank God every night for my job and wish away all the worries and uncertainties other people feel not having one. I pray the economy will soon change and the future of not only my own children and their little ones, but everyone else out there that cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel right now.

Another HaPpY ValEnTiNeS DaY to all of you. It isn't about heart shaped boxes full of artificial chocolate, or roses that fill the air with the same smell grandma's bathroom used to have. It is the full circle a heart makes once it reaches the starting point. It is the people in your life you have gently placed inside the heart. The ones that love you unconditionally. The ones that give you laughter on a not so happy day. The ones you gather with on special occasions creating a new meaning to the word "family." The ones you wake to every morning that eagerly wait to hear you start the day with "I love you." The ones that need the magic of a mother's kiss when things just aren't the way they are suppose to be. Valentines Day is the day we celebrate LOVE,,,, a celebration that lasts a life time. To all of you in side my heart,,,,Happy Valentines Day, I love you!

Another Monday done,,,,

Whew, Monday is almost over confirming the weekend definitely is. The beginning of another work week filled with craziness in the office. Does everyone always have a priority? Why yes,ugh! I guess I need to be thankful I am one of the few that is still employed, Thank you Uncle Sam. I am surrounded by deadlines, timeframes, priorities and most important, my friends. Which helps the day go by just a tad quicker. The same friends who also have busy lives inside and outside the office but are never to busy to maintain a friendship and catch up on events in each others world! Monday is coming to close but that circle of friends never will, another lucky day!

For you,,,,

Sugar and spice and everything nice,,,,
That's what Ella Rose is made of,,,,

Another Fantastic Day,,,,

Today my family grew,,,,,time stood still as a little piece of heaven was blown into the open arms that will hold and love him endlessly. Welcome, we have been patiently waiting your debut. Even before you were born, we loved you. Does it get much better than this,,,,I'm not sure it does,,,,,

The first of many,,,,

Here I am with my first blogging experience. I look forward to reading the blogs of others because I don't talk to my siblings every day so this might be helpful in keeping up with what is going on in our lives. It is always exciting to read about the crazy things going on with them and helps me come to grips that I am not in this fast paced crazy world alone. And that in itself is satisfying.... As a wife to one, a mom to many,,,, a gramma to two (soon to be three), a sister to three and aunt to five (soon to be six) a daughter to one and friends upon friends upon friends,,,I wonder how I ever got so lucky......
