Mid September thoughts

It has been quite some time since I have taken the time to update this blog. Life has swirled into a heightened sense of fullness. Everyone is finally back in school. We had a staggered, and slow start, four kids, four schools.

I believe our family is like some weird educational experiment. We have one in a charter school, one in a private school, one in the LVUSD school district, and one in the LAUSD school district. The differences are glaring. Some good, some bad, some just different. It is a challenge keeping all of the balls in the air with this set up. I reminisce back to the one year when I had three kids all in the same school..... those were the days.

Life is good. I am consulting part-time, I'd love to be a little busier, but it is good for now. I have done nothing creative for months. No scrapbooking, no jewelry making, no nothing. I am trying to stay involved at each school. I am hopeful that once I get in a good groove, I can catch up on my scrapbook albums.... I am getting seriously behind.

I just celebrated my 17th wedding anniversary. Now that is a big one. It is hard to believe Jeff and I have been together for that long, it doesn't seem like that many years have passed. We are happy, and life is good. For that I am thankful. That is it for now. Have a great week!

Networking can be expensive!

I went to a cool women's networking meeting the other night. It was with an organization called Heartlink . It was at some one's house. An awesome dinner was served. Tables set, lovely hospitality, and about 20 very interesting women were there. We each got 3 minutes to introduce ourselves and tell a bit about our business's. Most of the women knew each other already. Many of the women present had business's that sell through direct marketing. Most of the big ones were represented, and a few new ones I had never heard of but found interesting. There were also women with other business's like insurance, legal services, printing, etc... It is great to meet like minded people, and I can definitely see the benefits of attending regularly. The bad part however, is it leaves you wanting to go shopping! All of a sudden, I MUST have the new mango cutter from Pampered Chef, and I am yearning to freshen up my candles, and I NEED a hole new wardrobe from CABi . ...

The Sky is Blue

I want to thank all of you who lift my family up in prayer. I thank all of you who give us encouragement. I try really hard to see the cup 1/2 full, and most days I do. I was feeling a little down last night, but today is a new day. Blue skies remind me of how much I am loved. Have an awesome day friends. And.....on a side note.... Go Viewpoint Patriots!!! We are in the playoffs! Wooo Hoooooo!

I believe

I believe....... That marriage is a lifetime gig That it is up to us to take care of those in need, through families, churches, relationships, etc... That family is serious business, parenthood is a gift, a treasure, something to take dead dog serious. That I have a right, and a responsibility to protect my family and those who can't protect themselves, from would be criminals, and anyone else who is attempting to infringe on our rights as stated in our constitution. I believe that without faith in God, and a conscious decision to submit to him, people are lost in a pool of ever changing self centered nonsense, and are subject to what ever the politically correct, hip, educated mantra of the year is. Stuff is awesome, shiny cars, flashy jewels, exotic vacations, are all delightful--- for a little while--then when the shiny wears off, and the financial impact starts hurting--- the result is damage to the most important thing--- family, and submission to God.
