Life is too short.....

Love this picture....

Can you believe it? I am not posting about my boy....Adam. I do have to say...loved how he looked, all clean cut and all. But, please, I do hope he goes crazy next week, cause, I love the "wild" side of him the most!

I have been pondering......alot.

Life is too short.

I have been feeling like I need to focus on my family.....more.

Preschool, primary are always my main drive in life. I put my energy 24/7 in my job. And, I always plan on doing that.

But....my kids are growing too fast,

my husband has been complaining more than usual,

and I have been lacking the most important stuff...self pondering, filling my bucket.

This is a very hard thing for me to do. BALANCE!!!!

Last night, I took my girl out on the town. We went to her favorite resturant(Taco Bell?), and went to the Craft Fair and then ofcourse, we drooled at Petland. She is my middle child, doesn't demand alot of attention. The boys always steal it from her. My Boys are very loud and demanding. She is reserved and sits back. Last night was her stage. I asked her minute by minute of her daily advents. We talked about her friends, crafts, clothes, her next hair style, her eye appointment and her struggles. She had a smile on her face. That is what made my night! I need to do that more often. I NEED TO! She is my girl. She is my offspring. I am her mother. I am suppose to love her and teach her. That is what Heavenly Father wants me to do.

My thought is continually this...."Life is too short....don't forget your most important job, mother and wife."

So....then the question goes back to balance?

I am trying to figure that out. Give me time. I am almost forty. Maybe, by the time I am sixty, I will figure it out. As for now, I will focus on the good stuff.

Happy Spring Break......

I love this guy!

My Favorite on American Idol!

I am lovin me some Adam Lambert! I love to watch him! He is a great performer and got some strong lungs on him! I love his high range! I love the crazy/rocker about him! He reminds me of Adam Ant? Does anyone remember him!

Sing to me baby!!!!

Who is your favorite so far?

Ummmmm?.......Where has the time gone?

January, February and now... March! Where has the time gone?

Each year, I have a phrase or a goal I try to achieve. This year, I had a friend create some vinyl lettering for my stairwell wall. It reads:

We Can Do Hard Things

We see this saying everyday when we walk down the stairs. I want to ingrain it into my children's' head! Yes, We can do hard things!

This is what I have been thinking of lately.......

I am busy, busy, busy! From preschool, primary, to home/family life.....I don't sit down

until 8 p.m.! HAAAAAA! I am tired! You would think I should be a skinny Minny....with my hustle and bustling around!

This is what is on my mind.....all the time? Why? Why can't I burn off the weight? I work hard...I wish I could "work my butt off!" Literally! I know stress can cause the metabolism to halt? But, really.....I am tired of being FAT! I have a membership to the gym...and I go in spurts! I think I need to put more attention to my body than I do for preschool, primary and home/family life? I find myself shoving loaded calories into my mouth.....while I do my "things"!

I have done every diet. I stick to it about a month.....loose about fifteen pounds! And, then, "Plop" something happens? Holiday? Sickness? Something ruins the "steady diet"?

One of these days....I am going to get it? And when I do....pat me on the back...and tell me good job! I can do hard things!

As for EASY things.....look at these cute pictures! Preschool class went to Petland and discovered all the pets! Love my job!

This week we are learning about Rainbows!

Remember:
You can do hard things!
