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

Three Things Thursday

We are having a big BBQ on the 4th so I thought I would list 3 of my favorite things we will be having.

1. Homemade ice cream, strawberry, vanilla and one other flavor I haven't decided yet. Any ideas?

2. Steak kabobs, (rosemary, balsamic vinaigrette marinade)

3. Tropical Cake. My kids favorite, yellow cake on the bottom, vanilla pudding filling, crushed pineapple, whipped cream and coconut.

Three Things Thursday

June is a busy month for birthday's in my house, mine, Brit's and Franklin's, so in that spirit I am using memories from birthdays past.

1. There is something about the birthday song that makes my kids cry when it is sung to them around 2 and 3. All of them have cried then, it is very odd.

2. I only had one real birthday party when I was little, usually I invited one or two friends over and we did something special. I guess that is why I have carried that on to my kids.

3. And ACK!!! Brit turned 15 this week, when the heck did that happen? I don't think I am older enough for this....

Day Off

I am so behind on everything. My blog, my emails, the laundry, my bird, my stitching. And there are tons of things I should be doing today. I should be doing the laundry, reorganizing the girls drawers and closets and other yucky chores. But instead I think I am going to get the kids ready and we are going to hit the pool. It is 85 on the way to 90 plus so the pool is screaming much louder than the washing machine. Besides it is better for the ozone count thingy if I wait until after sunset to do the laundry. Yeah, thats it, the ozone, that is why I am waiting to do laundry... Off to the pool...

Three Things Thursday

1. It has been really hot and dry here this week, 102 yesterday. That has brought me to the conclusion I really don't like the heat, I would rather have the cold.

2. Being hot saps my whole houses energy, including the dog. If you ask him to go out he just looks at you.

3. Even with all the heat, I still don't want air conditioning. I would rather an open window and a fan. Of course if I lived anyplace with any real humidity I probably would change my mind, our humidity was 11% yesterday, so it was a dry heat!

Long time no blog

Okay I think I have this working, no school and life thing worked out. At least I hope so. I am working full time or near about full time now that school is out and the olders can watch the youngers. I am enjoying working more, having more responsibility and I love the birds. Although I have the momentary guilt stuff. I love being a mom, and it honesty has left me filling very fulfilled. But knowing that I am doing a good job, getting the positive feedback from my boss, coworkers and costumers is different, and makes me feel good. Not better just different.
