I know everyone is busy, we all have a lot on our plates these days. I have felt so overwelmed these past 6 months. I have felt like I was going to lose myself in it all. Allen left for Army Bootcamp, graduated and now is at tech school in VA. Zack has moved back home temporarily, he is moving to Great Falls in June for a promotion he has been working hard for. Devin has been testing the waters of being a pre-teen. Please lord give me strength! Chantel is a brownine girl scout and a proud owner of a new Guinea Pig. My job has been a total stress ~ bring on the prozac atmosphere ~ since our transition with Kroger, working late nights and no energy when I get home. I can't keep track of the people moving in and out of our house lately. My Close to My business / friends have been faithful and kept me sane. So between working a full time job, being a Brownie Girl Scout Troop Leader (working hard to earn those try-its and selling cookies), I have been lost. GOOD NEWS, I have been found. I will be posting (and trying to catch up). Thank you for your love and support!
No, nothing has changed in my circumstances, except maybe the blessing of stronger shoulders to carry it all.

Things that make me happy
I thought of all the wonderful things and people in my life that don't require money (or rather, the joy is not derived from having money, but the good that comes of using it). It has made me realize how rich my life truly is.
*The sound of rain, the way it smells the way it cleans, the feel, the sound on the roof, hitting against the windows. It has a very calming effect on me.
*When my house is clean.
*A sensual long—drawn--out kiss.
*Reading outdoors in a place I can concentrate.
*Being totally convinced that in the long run thoughtfully applied effort can change the world.
*Being asked sincerely, “How can I help you?” or " How are you?"
*Having a close relationship with my daughter and sons.
*Seeing friends I haven’t seen in years.
*Playing card or board games with my family around the kitchen table.
*80’s Music the kind you can crank up really loud and know all the words.
*Pedicures. My feet are always so soft and pretty after a pedicure. I love the foot massage and having someone else paint my nails.
*Fresh, Clean, Sheets just washed. They are always so soft, snuggly and smell so good.
*I love books that I get so wrapped up in that I actually mourn the loss of a character. I love books that make me think about my life and life in general.
*Playing Luxor with Chan and her keeping up with me.
*Christmas Tree Lights in the Dark, I love sitting in the dark in my living room during the holidays with just the tree lights on. It is so pretty. It makes me remember being a kid and when Christmas seemed so magical. *Warm Bed on a Cold Morning, I love waking up on a cold winter morning and being all cozy in my bed. It’s even better when I don’t have to get out of the warm bed.
*Short Days At Work, I love when I only have to work until 3PM. I know on those days that I can go home and still have energy to get stuff done and then be able to relax before bedtime.
*The smell of baking bread. The taste of fresh warm buttered bread.
*Fresh Flowers. Any kind, all year round.
*Thoughts of my dad, he always had a saying, story or humorous comment.
*My Grandma telling me I am her favorite knowing that she tells that to everyone. It makes me smile knowing she’s trying to please and love everyone.
*My moms cooking.
*Butterfly and Eskimo kisses from Chan when we snuggle before bedtime.
*Long chats with someone close.
*Friends, sisters remembering my birthday.
*Being with Friends that know you, know what you’ve been through.
*When something I cook turns out really well.
*Wrapping up in a quilt made from my father’s clothes. Each piece holds a memory. And it is so heavy it’s like a hug from him.
*My husband, funny, loves to chase me – still.
*Teaching someone something new at my monthly scrapbook workshops.
*When I finish a layout with pictures.
*Devin’s Laugh
*Watching Chantel Dance
