My THING

So everyone, everywhere has "their thing" right? And it may have taken me 30+ (beyond 30 what difference does it really make anyway right) years to figure it out, but I have to say I finally figured out without a doubt what my THING is ... insert photo, um the one above (computers aren't necessarily MY THING) ... preserving memories!!! That's it, that's what I've roamed this earth for 30+ years for. I mean I can do other stuff (sorta) but that's what it's in my very soul. Sure I've given my mind, heart & body 200% every single day since October 21, 2003 for the sake of my one & only, and I will continue to do so until I'm 6 feet under. But I'm talking about the "thing" that just sorta lingers in you through adolescence, higher ed, & young adulthood until you just sit back & actually allow it to emerge from the depths of your soul. It can take months, years, 30+ years (yeah, yeah, yeah enough already right) ... but when you feel it & you realize you are truly really good @ something (besides being a Mom which we've already established I excel at) it is such an overwhelming self-esteem boost to say the very least. I am so at peace & happy when I am documenting my sweetheart's moments, hopefully for her to enjoy for years to come. Anyway, it just really came to me these last couple days & I guess writing it down for anyone to read makes me feel even more affirmed in my purpose. Does that make sense? Rambling on & on by the way, is my other THING (just ask my sis).

2,3,4 & more

Today is an exciting day --only 2 days until Spring Break for ALM. Even better only 3 weeks until WDW with ALM & GA. But before that even .... on Monday April 12th I begin my 4 day work weeks again. Granted Tuesday through Friday will be very LONG days @ the ol' office, but Saturday, Sunday, AND MONDAY will make it all worth while. Now that I have an official scrapbook room mere footsteps away from my bedroom, bathroom & kitchen ... so many things are possible again. I can't wait to spend a string of Mondays in my room while ALM finishes her school year & then a summer of Mondays with her again --at the dollar store, swimming @ her lil' friend's house, visiting the Valley Station Dairy Freeze, & who knows what else we'll get into this summer ... besides the METZLER family vacation which is officially going to be 4th of July week @ Breaks, can't wait for that either! So today promises many more fun days to come ... YEAH for TODAY!
