Turning 40....

I thought that all of this hype about turning 40 was for some REAL profound reason! I truly don't know what it is that 40 is really supposed to feel like, but here is my take on it.

It feels just like it did a few weeks ago... The same routine, the same children, same smiles, same loves, same body. Now... I have to give you that getting older in GENERAL tends to be proving a pain in the ass. Like walking up the stairs and tweeking your knee, or reaching into the back of the closet for a dress, and pulling a muscle in your back. But those things happened to me before 40.

In my mind, you just live one day at a time, learn from your mistakes, love with all of your heart, take care of yourself and try to stay as young at heart as you can. Then, what does it really matter how old you are??? Life will be good, so who cares???

Tired

I am so tired lately... 

Tired of grief, tired of cleaning, tired of breaking up fights, tired of driving, tired of trying to accomplish things, just to feel like I am on a hamster wheel not getting anywhere and most of all tired of feeling like my brain is being pulled in 50 different directions.

The End.

Hitting Home

I read this on my friend Ashley's blog, and I had to share it with all of you! Enjoy!!


"May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly 
where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that 
are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you 
have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be 
content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into 
your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and 
love. It is there for each and every one of us." -unknown

Valentines Day

Valentines Day... 

Usually a day that your sweetheart gives you flowers and showers you with love and affection, RIGHT??? 

Nope, not in this house. My husband, as romantic as he is, refuses to succomb to the "frivilous" holiday. He demands that you shouldn't have to be told to do these things for the one that you love. He has a very valid point... but!! For some stupid reason, it makes me sad that I am not one of the masses getting flowers and being lavished with chocolate. The man does a VERY good job of letting me know that I am loved!! 

SSSooooo..... 

Why does this bother me so much????
