Yesterday I thought a lot about change....how quickly our lives take a different turn, how we don’t often appreciate our blessings.
I was home alone most of yesterday....I do appreciate my solitude, but I am the type of person that if given the choice, would rather be around people. My husband Rick left early for the Bills game, my daughter Chelsea was at work, and my son Matty was supposed to come over and watch the Bills game with me before I left for a work meeting. The company he works for, is providing food for the Extreme Home Makeover crew, who is doing a home build in this area, and he had to cancel our football watching afternoon to take care of some issues associated with that. He is 24, has a girl and I just don’t get to see him much anymore...and it made me remember the times when "I" was the most important person in my kids lives, and how you just think those days will go on forever.... when your in the mist of them.
My house is often quiet now...a lot quieter than it used to be...and I miss the days of kids playing and arguing and running late and hurry ups and clean your room and dinners ready, did you brush your teeth? Is your homework done? How was school? Take your vitamin, get going the bus is coming!, don’t forget you have religion, scouts, dance, soccer, baseball, clarinet lessons, etc. tonite...
Change IS inevitable......I need to find my raincoat.....
hugs as always,

I am trying to be the kind of woman that when her feet hit the floor in the morning, the devil says "oh crap, she's up"

See I am opposite. I really could care less if people are around, though I need my critters around!! I do belly ache when my man works all the time, do to him being so tired.
Now that only two kids are left here at home, I kind of miss the fighting. Not the bloody fights but just the little ones - you understand the bickering ones you miss.
I sure hope it gets better for you! I do always have tv's and radios on for the critters, but maybe it is for me too?
Hey I can trade you some kid drama for the quietness you are experiencing :0) please..... lol!
Just stopping by to say thanks for the comments. you are very nice ... and yes, I do draw most of my pictures. It's just something I like to do. I also color with my grandkids and they think I'm the best grandma in the world, but I don't bake cookies....LOL
Thanks for stopping by, I have decided to really try to earn some points on gather this time and I have a small group of people that I have set up their accounts to send me emails everytime they post..I will comment...i hope they return the favor in kind to me.
have a great day!
sometimes frantic...often slow...
although day-to-day uniformity
provides stability..I'm sure we know
that it is the special times...special friends
that give our life it's lustrous glow
and these are the times that keep us going.
Just like we cross a bubbling brook
stepping from one stone to the next,
we get through out life from one
meaningful moment to the next
and one day,when we stand at the end
and look back at what brought us there,
all the low spots...the nadirs of life,
are hidden behind the mountaintops.
The solace and comfort of family and friends
fills the sails of our sloop...named "Life"...
and propels us forward to what lies ahead.
