Where am I?

Well I honestly don't know. What I do know is that I have almost zero time to sit at my computer anymore. Between dance, scouts, work, and homework i have no time left for me! At the moment I am on my lunch break eating a salad and chicken nuggets from wendy's taking bites in between typing! Sad huh? I have so many pictures I need to post and share so hopefully I will get those on here soon. The saddest part of all this is usually I am done Christmas shopping in November and I am still not done yet and Christmas is 13 days away! Help!!! Anyway we have been doing great besides being busy. The kids are doing great in school. I help with Ryan's class every wednesday morning with reading groups for an hour. I really enjoy that. Natalia has a 3.76 gpa and hopefully next semester it will be a 4.0. She is a great student. Seth is doing very well he is very smart and loves to read. Ryan struggled for a while to read but is now doing better. Larry's business is doing very good he recently aquired a new product that he sells to the Safeway stores. He does the Nature's nuts and they have trail mixes and dried fruits as well. I am still working at Carpet One. The people I work for and with are very good people. I am lucky! It definately has been busy for me, probably the busiest I have ever been in my life. As I look back on the past 10 years I can see the many blessings that I have enjoyed and even took for granted. It really is amazing at how fast the time speeds by, I know I have said that a lot but I honestly can't believe it. Anyway off to work...I will post some pics I promise!

Food for thought...

I just had to write a few things that are on my mind today. This past weekend we cleaned out our storage unit (YUCK!) and found our MIA video camera! So we spent Sunday afternoon and Monday night viewing our new found treasures! I cannot tell you how much fun that was and our kids laughed so hard at all the funny stuff they did when they were babies! I found myself so emotional watching my kids as babies. Those who know me well know that I love nothing more than babies! I wanted so bad to be able to jump through the tv and through time just to hold and kiss my babies again. I haven't been able to get it out of my mind at honestly how scary fast time goes by! It seems like yesterday I was a kid myself. When I was 17 I got my patriarchal blessing and before I went to get it I remember thinking I hope it will tell me that I will be a Mother because I want nothing more in life than to have kids. Needless to say the blessing told me I would become a mother to sons and daughters alike. Well I don't have daughters but I have sons and a daughter who knows maybe one will slip in before I get too old! Anyway all I can do is think about my kids and those videos. If there is one thing that I could go back and change in my life it would be to refuse to work and spend every waking moment I had holding, kissing, loving, and playing with my babies! So you stay at home moms feel lucky that you have the opportunity to stay at home with your children even though I am sure at times you wish you could be somewhere else! I have no idea why I can't seem to get those videos out of my head but I really can't believe that my kids are 11, 8 , and 6 all ready and that I didn't get to spend all day everyday with them as they are growing! Now they talk back, fight, and they are too busy for mom to hold them and kiss them, but I love them more than anything and I am so blessed to be a Mother! Yes I am rambling and at this moment tears are falling down my face but I just had to write what I was feeling!

New blog look...

I finally figured out how to change my blog by myself! That is a truly amazing deal for me!! Okay I did have some pointers come my way but I figured out a lot of it too. So I don't know how long I will keep this paper on here but I like the look for now. I do need to change my header and beware it may just be a picture of me since this is my blog and it is like a journal for me! Anyway let me know what you think of the new look or if I should choose a different color scheme.
