My Adventurous Life



I have been staring at a blank page, trying to figure out what to write for quite a bit of time…writers block, is kind of new to me…my brain is always overflowing with thoughts I want to put on paper, but lately I have found something that I love to do, and that helps me unwind, very hard.

And I don’t like it!

I like being able to write out my plans, sit with my laptop and escape in my writing…and now it seems as if my writing is something my mind is trying to run from, instead of running towards.

I could blame it on everything around me, no inspiration, nothing “write worthy has happened” but that would be wrong.

While I don’t live a James Bond (would that be Jane Bond?) exciting type of life, I still have one. 

And as much as I try to make it slow down, it keeps marching on.

I have a wonderful mountain that I climb every morning, sometimes slipping to the bottom, and having to start all over again on the SLOW and steady walk to reach the top and claim victory over it…OK, OK… it’s actually a mountain of laundry…but the goal to get over it is the same. It’s a never ending battle…Just when I think I have reached the top, more laundry is found and thrown on top and I have to start at the bottom again.

I also do a daily battle with a small dragon, who likes to pee in my kitchen, wreak havoc on my daughter’s toys, and stink up all my clean laundry, by laying on my freshly folded mountain of cloths. Our Toy Yorkie, is more like a dragon then a dog…battling a dragon sounds so much more exciting then picking up after a dog!

I am also a chef, who makes fabulous meals that consist of grilled cheese and chips for a quick lunch, before we risk life and limb fighting our way past the long lines and gates and into our local water park!

Sometimes I even take on an apprentice and teach her to clean (free labor) and how to cook and bake from scratch.

 While anyone’s life can seem exciting if you put the right twist on it, I am reminded that while it may not be as exciting as fighting a dragon, or climbing a mountain, my life is pretty exciting as it is.

Olivia made her daddy a homemade cake!
I have a great family that I LOVE spending time with. I have friends that are here for me anytime I call, and they know that whenever they need me I am here as well. I have an AWESOME God that goes before me in every situation, and who has never forsaken me.

My life is how I look at it, and while laundry, dog duty, and making quick lunches, may not seem exciting to anyone (lol me included), and choosing to look at it with a smile on my face and a happy heart will make it easier. My life revolves around my family and doing things for them, makes my heart smile. 

SO while I may not have much to write about today, I do have a mountain of laundry waiting for me, and it’s almost lunch time, so I will close the computer, and get back to my wonderful life!

Having to say Goodbye

Saying good bye to someone is never easy, especially if you know that it may be the Last time you may ever see them, hug them, whisper that you Love them. You want to hold on to them forever and never let go......and then you have to leave...with that doubt in your mind, the whispered lies floating through your mind, taking root, that you were not there enough, that you didn't hug, kiss, or say you loved them enough. It's enough to crush you...enough to make you want to hide away from everyone.....even yourself. This is where we are...my Beautiful Mom is on hospice..and I am trying to wrap my head around that word.. Hospice......such a scary word....its  the knowledge that the end is near, but never knowing when that final day will come.  The past few months we have been making every opportunity to be with her, we knew this was coming, and we were going to make as many memories with her as we could, but there will always be more memories we want to share with her.

Our Mini Vacation in Pictures

Last weekend, my family and I packed up our car and after stopping to get our nieces, we headed to Branson, for a back-to-school mini vacay! We decided to celebrate the start of another homeschooling year, by going to an indoor water park called Grand Country! This is the 2nd time we have been there, and other then a few things that had changed since our previous trip ( we really missed the falling balloons at the fun spot party), it was just as great The following is our weekend in pictures/videos :) The girls loved the Water Park, and spent most of the time running back and forth between the slides and the lazy river (I liked the hot tub and lazy river the best). While I got sick 1/2 way through the weekend, I can honestly say that the trip was a success, and we will be returning there at the beginning of the year. We were in all need of a break from the car! I needed to visit the restroom and stretch my legs. The girls needed to dance and sing and get a little playtime in b

Giving Up Control

Four days until our family leaves for a mini vacation to Branson.....only four days! I have actually been counting down for the last month! My hubby got the suitcase down and I have little piles of folded laundry sitting around the house, just waiting for me to pack them in the suitcase for our vacation. I am SO ready to leave! I have high expectations for this vacation. a weekend of reading, watching my daughter and nieces have fun at the indoor water park at Grand Country , and spending some quality time with my hubby! I have lists of what needs to be done, what should be packed and in which bags, and I have already picked out some new books that I really want to read while I relax! I have it all planned out! I know I'm not the only one who packs way a head of time, has great expectations of what the days ahead will hold for them and their family and drives everyone around them crazy while they are in "preparing mode"...at least I hope I am not the onl
