Puzzle Me Complete ... Believer, Mother, Teacher, Writer.

Do you ever meet someone for the first time although they have always been there? Have you ever really looked and realize you are seeing someone for less than they are worth? Have you seen through someone although they are right there in front of you? Sometimes it is easy to take people for granted. Sometimes it is easy to categorize someone without even really getting to know them. Have you ever focus so strongly on someone's negative trait and fail to see the positive in them? Have you ever thrown stones when you have glass windows yourself? Sometimes I forget that is a journey of self development and the people who come into it leave marks... memories. Sometimes those people come to mean so much that they become more than a friend... they become a sister. My mother said that people drift into and out of your life like angels. sometimes their stay is momentarily, sometimes they stay a life-time. For us it has and is a lifetime. You are someone who can really drive ...

Time always changes. No matter how hard we try to put a routine to it and sometimes control it ... we are all fools to think we can. It slips out of our fingers... it disappears with the blink of an eye .... and before you even know it .... seconds turns to minutes, turns to hours, turns to days, turns to nights, turns to months, turns to years. When do you find time for life... for yourself... for your children... for your love? A moment in time also has the ability to capture an emotion.. a feeling that .... when you recall a time past you can also remember the tears shed, the laughter among friends, the passion enflamed.... Time lets you appreciate life... it lets you hope for a better tomorrow ... it lets you think that tomorrow is a new day ... a Better Day. Be engulfed by time. Know that it can be your enemy or your friend. Know that you must make the best of what time you have. Know that you only have a little time to love, and not waste time on hate. Spend time on t...

Being a teacher I really look forward to the weekends. I get to stay in bad later (I wish) , read a book (which did not happen till Sunday night between 9 and 11) and just get a break from kids (this too was impossible.. even with one gone I still had one to deal with).  So when I say I needed a break from the weekend its because I spent the 2 days taking care of the kids, cooking on demand and cleaning and washing clothes. The 2 days flew by so fast and I hardly got a chance to myself. I basically played housewife and maid and mother. There was no ME time... no time with the HUBBY and no time to feel as if my presence was worth more.  The funniest thing was ... in-between my daughter sleeping and me trying to wash and fold clothes I tried watching Lord of the Ring (too ambitious... only saw the first hour before getting distracted with other things) .  I really should not complain but because the week before was tough and I found myself having to do everything for ...

"Look mommy ... I found a pet coconut... Can we keep him??!!!"

I took the kids to the golf course this weekend for a little change in scenery and to get some fresh air. The kids just loved walking along the path and watching everything around them. What they were most aware of was how quiet the place was. I liked the silence. Being a teacher and mother and always living in constant noise it is great when you find yourself in a place where the silence is ever-present. It also gives you a chance to look around and appreciate nature. This was when certain things struck me. There were images that I thought sent a message or captured an emotion ... once you looked at it in a different perspective. (or for me ... I just put more thought than necessary... but I liked thinking it). This one made me think of LOVE. Two kissing trees that stand the test of time. No matter what they will always be there for each other. This one made me think of personal loss. I recently lost one of my aunt to Cancer and I lost my father 13 years ago to Cancer as we...

I have been considering redecorating my daughter's room but the problem is .... it is a really small space. Right now it just has a queen size bed that takes most of the room (but we snuggle in it every night). So the size of the bed is important. It has to allow snuggle time!!! Thus begun my research. I was looking for ideas and saw a page on Facebook showing photos of unique and beautiful rooms. The problem is... I have to make a choice... let's see... inne mini minee mo.... which one to choose. This one is going to be harder than I thought.  But on another note these are some things that really inspired me.  Have a great weekend everyone!!
