I’m Baaack!

What a sweet little break!  My kids went swimming a lot!  I love seeing them using all their energy in a pool and then coming home begging to go take a nap.  Just needed a little break from the mundane. 

I got an email that rather disturbed me this morning.  My childhood pastor had his homecoming.  (In the background right now I hear Michael Jackson’s funeral going on.  The music that is being played is awesome!  It is kind of fitting for my mood.)  People are hurting all over for many different reasons. 

What makes me in my “mood” is that the way things change.

• My youngest turned “3” on the 4th of July.  He is growing up! 
• The way people tell people die is emails.  What ever happened to phone calls so that you can hear people’s sadness so that a person can relate?
• My body.  (I thought I must be pregnant because I have gained so much weight.  I even took a test.  NOPE – it was a negative.  Just need to “drink more water.”)
• Cause it’s too HOT!  116 degrees is the heat index today.  (Heat index means what it feels like to your skin.)

Okay, aren’t you glad you are reading this today?  I’m sure it has pumped you up with encouragement!  Since that is the reason for this blog – I will now turn on my PollyLana face.

• I will now be getting a raise because we are going to be out of diapers and into big boy undies.
• I can delete emails and pretend they never happened.  I think this is called “living in denial” but hey it’s my computer.
• I get to buy new clothes.
• I can go swimming and everyone looks good in a bathing suit in the summer.

Tomorrow will be some great pictures so be sure to come back and look!

Blessings to you!  You are loved!
