Some of What I Know

They say you should write what you know about. Well, I know I have an amazing family. And what is it they do that's so amazing you ask. Well for starters they exist. I have been blessed with a wonderful husband who/whom I take for granted because I can be a horribly greedy woman. For some reason he still loves me after all these oh so many years.  I also have been blessed with 2 astounding kids. The fact I get to be their mom just stupefies me. They are smart, funny, caring, compassionate, etc... I remember when I was expecting each of them just how incredible the process of them coming to be actually was. How everything has to work just perfectly for a child to be created. Then I would question as to whether or not I was up to the responsibility (something that should probably be thought about prior to conception rather than during pregnancy. just a tip!). Then these perfect little angels were placed in my arms and I chose to take on the task. To do my very best by them (sometimes the lyrics of Quincy Jones' "Just Once" come to mind, you know "I did my best, but I guess my best wasn't good enough"; because some days I'm a very ordinary mom). Fortunately I've also got a pretty awesome extended family. Just so we're clear I include my friends in my extended family. Mostly because we live 109 miles to our closest parental unit, so having friends who help out is just phenominal. Hopefully we've been able to let them know what they mean to us. So with that I hope to update this blog with stories & photos of their amazingness (yep - I just made that one up). Maybe I will upgrade my efforts from ordinary to extraordinary soon as well!
