Talking in Parenthesis

Ramblings and angst from a mostly stay at home mom

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us. It is in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Nelson Mandela

Just ramblings

The idea that I would update this everyday sort of went out the window. It is too hard to write while the kiddos are home. But that will change a week from Monday. Everybody will be going back to school. My oldest is starting high school. I am not sure where the time went but I am sure I am not old enough. Maybe it was because my mom was older when I was born, I don't know but I feel like I am play acting at this parenting thing some time. Like I am playing house.

Dad is okay and it was decided it was a combo of high blood pressure and stress. So he is now on meds. Which is good yet scary. It is frightening to think about my Dads mortality. Mom I am more prepared, but not Dad. I don't like thinking about the fact he might be here someday. But I guess that is more of that growing up stuff.
