Children Need Our Time (2nd day of Committment)

Today, I took the opportunity to Be a KID with my wonderful KID, Chloe Marie. First we bought one of those outdoor kiddy pools that she basically could sit in and jump in a little. She had a ball as I watched her swishing around and making bold expression, "Look at me Mom, I'm splashing around and I can hold the water hose to fill the pool back up." I wanted to have front row seats to this amazing show, so I brought my lounge chair and set up camp. It's amazing how little attention our children really need, but we find it so difficult to give even 10 minutes. After our pool event we hit the showers in order to prepare for our next event of the day.

I made sure the Wardrobe and makeup were ready for OUR STAR of the day. This Star prefers doing her own hair and makeup because she likes it just so. First there was the girl with flowers in her hair, the Queen, the Hawaiian Hula Girl, and the Rock star. I shot at least 100 pictures of my little Star and afterwards I made a movie which I'm still trying to add music to. She had such an awesome day and when we laid down tonight to say our prayers she said. "Mommy I had the best day, can we do that again?" Yes, I had more than 10 minutes with my Chloe but WOW, what a great day!

note to self: even if my journal isn't read it feels so GREAT to write
I'm proud of myself; I've made it to the 2nd day.

Open Journal

At times I find it hard to understand myself but yet I make so much sense! I've stayed awake many nights trying to figure out my life and you know what I think I'll just leave that up to the BIG guy! I admire people who are so easy going and at ease with life. I find my brain at times works overboard, have you ever felt like that? You wish you could catch up with your brain? There is no rhyme or reason to theroll coaster ride in my head at times. That is when I take a deep breath relax and remember to BREATHE.

I'm just rambling today since I've resigned myself to the fact that I write my blogs for taking an inventory of my thoughts and life. Yes, you are open to my Daily Journal! I sort of feel naked at times and at other times I feel hidden. I guess in some small way I wish to contribute to society through my crazy thoughts, does that make sense? At times I make no sense at all and at others I find myself too sensible.


Note to self: writing with pen in hand can be good also! "Paper is more patient than man
