walking the road...

to peace
to a better place
to a calmer place
to somewhere else
to right here

walking the road
to recreating everything
who you are
who we are
where we are

walking the road
to somewhere in between
to finding that special place within
to that special one that gets you like no other

walking the road
to gramma's house
to mama's house
to your house

walking the road
the old dirt one
the one that you've walked far too many times to count

walking the road with torn boots and wool socks

walking the road
to new beginnings

walking the road
to the soul that grounds you

Looking for FUN

jaden ~ RAD!!!!

My daily commute has got me frazzled..
My job is sucking the life out of me and leaving me exhausted...
Some "terrible two" moments over the past couple of weeks have tested me as a mother/parent and are pushing me to my limit
Tim's job search and bills leave us with silent nights

believe me when i say there have been some glimpse's of beauty in between all of this and those are the only things keeping me out of the psych ward

but after seeing Jen's video a lightbulb went on for me... I'm in need of some serious laugh your ass off fun...

so i'm asking, requesting, begging for some nuggests, some advise, some music, anything that will bring some FUN into this mama's world...

looking up...

I spent tonight taking care of 2 - 2 1/2 year old little girls. My own and her friend Sophie (we trade with her parents on date nights and tonight was theirs) Tim had to work so just me and 2 little girls. I have to get used to taking care of 2 so why not start now.....

Fun and exhausting are two words I'll use. They are so cute together when they are running down the hall after one another, even cute when they get upset with one another if the other isn't "sharing" ~ even though I had a hell of a week at work and today was the ultimate where I found myself laughing hysterically and then realizing I might be going nuts?!! Even though after this week and this day I was able to pick them up from daycare, bring them home, make them dinner and enjoy their company without being too stressed or even tired. It made me feel good....doing something that felt meaningful and FUN.

Going to bed was a challenge but I knew that might be the case so I prepared myself...we'll see how long they last in there ....we might just start hearing "The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round" any time now.

Here's to the end of the week and a start to a beautiful weekend!
