how good does it look

to miss work, the first two weeks, still while training, due to sick kids?!?

i don't know what the problem was

I had blogs to post
and they didn't post

good thing I checked
because I am still committed to blogging everyday for a year

{after that...we will see?}

How could you

{be} so...

...shallow

...inconsiderate

...heartless

...cruel

...unloving

...unforgettable

...indescribeable

...unpredictable

{how could you}

?

i am experiencing

physical pain
so debilitating
i have to shut down
and digest its magnitude
before it empowers my life

i will not let {it}

dictate my every action

i will not let {it}

decide my mood

i will not let {it}

infect my future

I need to deal

with my past
before it overtakes my future
it subtly strikes
then forges its ferocious head 
and drains every ounce of my capacity to function

Happy Birthday!

Today is my nephews birthday.
He holds a special place in my heart.
He is my sisters first born.
He was the first one to make me an aunt, he is also my godson.

He is a pretty cool kid!  My kids agree.
He has a brilliant smile.  He is a hard worker.
He is funny.  He is a good friend.
I got the privilege of babysitting him when he was younger...
I miss that.
He use to love to eat...probably still does.
He just makes the world a better place
and I love being part of his life and watching him grow!

Happy, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Mothers Day...

to every woman who has ever been called {MOM}
