Dominoes falling one by one

My life is out of control right now.

I am overwhelmed and it feels like the dominoes are all in a line and one by one they are slowly knocking each other over.

I feel like once there is none standing.......is when I'm going to break.

Some how, some way I have got to get my life organized and on track again.

I need to slow down, breathe deeply, and try to find my happy place again.

On the 1st Day of Christmas.....revisited

Well last year I did this awesome little blog with the 12 Days of Christmas.

I thought about doing another one this year.....even grander than the first.



But after I reread last years, I just thought I did such an outstanding job that I just want to revisit it and enjoy it once again!

So here is the link. You can read each day separately and see all the clever little pictures......or you can just read the 12th day, which will have all the verses.......just not all the pictures.

Your choice.........enjoy!

(This is the link for 12th day.....you will find all the other days once you click the link. I couldn't get the linky thing to work right here)

Love, your Dad

My boys got a Christmas card from their father the other day.

It was signed Love, your Dad.

It's funny how strange those words looked to me, for long ago we never associated the word "dad" with our family. Dad has really never been in their lives and now after 24 years is trying to make an attempt at it.

All these years "dad" has just been a word that we spoke about, but with no feelings or emotional attachment to it. Until Paul came into our lives, there was no "dad" --just the three of us. For the longest time I was both parents.

Now after all this time there is a "dad" trying to come back into their lives. I listen to them as they each tell me their feelings about him. I don't interject my own thoughts -- I just hear them out. It's amazing what they tell me.

I am so lucky to have them and I feel very selfish over having to share them with him. I am the one that has been there for everything. Not him.

But I guess in the end, it's their decision.

But so far I'm winning.

Why do errands take so much time?

I try not to leave the house if I don't have to. So I try to do all my errands in one day. Doesn't it seem like you don't work as good when you get back to the house after running errands?

So yesterday, was my errand day. Here's what it looked like:

1. Drop off flyers to elementary school for pizza nights this week.
2. Stop by Grant Rd. store and drop off flyers, signs, and other stuff I had.
3. Stop by Michaels and get things to that take up the time that I don't have.
** (You'll see more on this one later in another blog or two)
4. Stop by bank for Grant Rd. store and do deposits.
5. Stop by Kuykendahl store and drop off the same stuff that I did at Grant Rd.
6. Stop by other bank for Kuykendahl store and do deposits
7. Stop at grocery store and pick up a few things that we needed for dinner.

Whew......I was exhausted when I got done.....but there was no time to rest!
