A test

Seeing if today it will post not only the title and pic but also this text and allow me to comment.

My First Picture

Sunrise, the Song

How could I forget the name of this song with the first two words being sunrise, sunrise?  Yeah, that’s me. 

But I’ll never ever forgot the oooooooh oooooooh oooooooh oooooooh part.  Loved this song since 2004.

 

Aye Ya

So much time passes and it does so quickly and I just can’t even believe it is mid-November.  Of 2012. Twelve! 

Most days I want to post here and I don’t get the chance and today I am making the chance and now what do I even say?

My life is just a big fat whirlwind and sometimes I feel like it just decided to sit on me.  Today that’s what I feel.  I need some air, please. You big fat whirlwind.

Busy with four schools, heavily supporting my local boy scouting organization, taking care of my family’s food and clothing and shelter and transportation needs, being a friend, being a neighbor, being a daughter, being a wife, being a mom.  Ugh, talk about full-time job. 

With no vacation. 

Well, here I am declaring a minute to myself and doing what I want to do.

Here’s some pictures that make me smile and maybe you, too.  None are really recent, but taken sometime between summer and now.

These first three are from Julia while she was here for a visit.

Great picture of everyone.  Ross, really proud of you, btw.

And proud of this one, too, in all he manages and how well he does it.

This was the picture I took in three haircuts ago.  Thanks, Norah.  Loved that cut.  Now I’ve got to play the Norah song that’s in my head but I can’t think of what it’s called. 

And Grant being supremely happy being supremely dirty.   How can that not make you smile?

Fact of Life

Scary but true, we are currently at a rate of using more than a gallon of milk a day. And that pound and a half box of cereal?  Just hoping it will last at least two days.

I think we can confirm Grant's having a growth spurt.
