We Love our Dad!

Little Women love their Daddy

The Man In Their Lives

He is my eternal sweetheart.

He is my confidant, lover and best friend.  

He is my better half and soul-mate.  

He is the boy I fell in love with.

He is the young man I married.

He is the man of my dreams.

My happily ever after.  

 J-

Thank you for being "Daddy" to our precious Little 

   Women. 

You are and always will be their first true love.

You are the man in their lives.  

 Love, 

Me

"Together we will look for rainbows..."

A different kind of moment...

I am so totally having one of those moments.  You know the kind that you don't want to admit you have.

(Just imagine a three year old child throwing a fit.  Listen to the piercing dinosaur screech that radiates from their gaping mouth.  Visualize their various body parts randomly flailing as they express their frustration.)

Get it? Got it? Good.  

Now, you should understand the type of moment I am having.  A completely irrational and nonsensical moment.   

I am being utterly selfish while feeling irritated, frustrated and annoyed among other things. Do I have any valid reason to feel these things?  No, not really.  But, then again I am only human.  On a positive note today is nearly over and I will soon go to bed, hopefully to sleep. When I wake up it will be a new day.  By then I should get a grip and grow up a little bit.  

(It is amazing what a few hours of sleep will do when a person is having a moment!)

Good thing these types of moments are rare, random, few and far between.

Till next time,

Adieu

 

A Moment

The last few years have often been tainted by struggle and sorrow, but for this moment in time I am completely fulfilled.  

Today has been beautiful, a welcome respite, a special Mothers Day. 

I am happy in a simple and peaceful way.  I am appreciative of my blessings.  This mortal life is often strewn with hardship, but it is also strewn with times of joy.  I often yearn for the pure joy of uninhibited moments and today has been full of those moments.   

I am thankful for the opportunity I have to be a mother.  My daughters are a special gift.  I yearned to become their mother and will never forget the miracles they represent.  I will be eternally grateful that they are apart of my life.  They shaped my person before they were conceived and continue to create my character on a day to day basis.  I love them and they love me.  I will forever be their mother.    

I am thankful for my mother.  She is my best friend and will forever be my mentor.  She consistently guides me in a wise and loving manner.  She provides me with a pristine example of motherhood.  I unabashedly aspire to become like her.  She has taught me to always rise to the occasion and overcome the odds.  She has shown me how to be a strong yet tender women. She has given me the gift of faith and has helped me to embrace small moments.  I love my mother with all my heart.  I am glad we will be together forever.  I am glad my mother she will always be.  

Is Pride Truly A Sin?

I am so proud to be the mother of two sweet, gentle, beautiful and loving little women!  

A message of love for my daughters...

"My love for you has no beginning or no end.  It resides in a special place in my heart.  I love you for all that you are and all that you will be.  Together you are my pride and my joy.  From the moment I became aware that I was to be your mother I have collected wishes for you.  I have and will continue to wish the sweetest of dreams for your future.  You are bright lights, young and tender.  At some point you will experience sorrow in life, for that is the way of the world, but you will also experience the greatest of joys!  You will embrace opportunities and learn from experiences.  You are sisters and you are my Little Women.  I will love you forever and ever and always, forever and always your mother I'll be. "

A Beautiful Easter Morn

He is risen! He is risen! 

Tell it out with joyful voice. 

He has burst his three days' prison: 

Let the whole wide earth rejoice.  

Death is conquered; man is free.  

Christ has won the victory. 

 

I am Thankful For...

"Sunny Weather, Tulips, and Family Time"

What more is there to say.  I have enjoyed my Easter weekend to the fullest.  I am thrilled that summer break will soon be here.  I have enjoyed the sunny weather, my tulips that have begun to bloom, and spending time with my Mother, Husband, and two adorable Little Women.  

A thought!

Okay, so here is my thought...

Just because I don't blog every single day doesn't mean that I don't enjoy blogging!

It doesn't mean I never intend to update my blog.

It doesn't mean my blog is not worthy of reading.

I have many blog worthy events happen to me on a day to day basis.  I keep track of these events in the hope that at some point in time I will be able to post them.  

The reality is, I am not able to post every day, my life right now is crazy busy. When I have a free moment I like to spend it with my children or spouse, I owe my free time to them.  I enjoy spending time with my Little Women.  I like to take them for walks and read books with them. I like to spend moments chatting with my husband even if it is while we watch the late night National news. (Ahhh, the economy!) These things take priority.  

Some might say, post when your children are in bed! When my children are in bed, I do homework!  This is my life right now.

I love blogging, I think it is a wonderful way to document my day to day life.  

Someday, hopefully soon, I will be able to post more often.  I do try to post the moments that matter most.  (Who want's a bunch of filler posts anyway!)

If you are still reading this you should now understand my thought or should I say thoughts?  (I am not sure why I am ranting about this, but indulge me!)

In closing...

Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of "Rhythm of the Drumm's"
