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

The Tuesday that feels like Monday

The kids had yesterday off from school and now my whole week is messed up. The sinus headache I have is not making my day any better. And events of last week are still playing on my mind. Without getting into too many details Clay had problems with copying stuff from the internet and lying. I think it is under control, and he will not be enjoying many extras or a long time. This parenting thing is hard.

Okay so in that vein I am going to post just some random things that me happy to try and get a more positive outlook.

Things that currently make me happy

- the first dandelions of the spring and Alli and Emma's reaction to finding them.
- waking up to robins singing
- watching Buddy find the perfect sunbeam to nap in.
- watching Spike figure out and chase his very first fly. Pretty, and cats don't always land on their feet
- realizing the phrase Olee just said was new. He is over 20 words now
- finding a new series of books and on sale
- a cold diet wild cherry Pepsi
- watching the girls run
- seeing Britty's face light up when he answers the phone, I think a girls is involved but no confirmation on that.
- a new magazine or catalog in the mail

Okay I am now in a better mood now...
