This blog sometimes seems like it is nothing about ME

and everything about my children.  I love to brag and post photos of them.  Frankly they are way cuter than I am, and they seem to have a much more exciting life.  I am just their caretaker who drives them to the places they need to go.

Does that make my blog boring?  I'm sure it does a little.

DO I CARE????????  Not really.

I actually have substantial thoughts (quite often), but most of the time my handy dandy voice recorder is not nearby for me to remind myself to blog about it. *yes, my husband actually gave me one to help me in my time of need

I sit here alone right now and think ... "now what was I thinking about earlier?"

STILL THINKING ...

Shucks, I forgot.  I think I think too much.  Maybe that is my problem.

So instead I give you just another photo of one of my children.  She probably gets the most posts out of my girls.  I'm not sure why because I love them all the same ... really I do.  I have to try to remember to give equal postings.  SEE HOW FLAWED I AM!

These photos are from my recent trip to St. Louis .  That is when I took 2 of my girls to a BIG swim meet.  While in town I  also visited both my alma mater and my husbands'.  I really loved my college in St. Louis.  If I could go back today, I would.  The appreciation and longing for knowledge would certainly be there ... sigh.

I hope my children go to school there ...

(((Sigh))) ... AGAIN!!!!!!!

See! I do have thoughts.

Super, super cute photo of your girls. That's an awesome blog header - like you meant that photo just for your blog....hmmmmmmm! :)

Anyway, other Moms don't find your blog boring - and I'm sure when you have something earth shattering to share in the grown up department, you'll have our attention.

Your kids make you happy and it shows - so keep on sharing what makes you happy! :)

Your blog is not boring at all, {E}! And I think it is a neat way to record what is going on in the lives of your kids...sort of like a baby book. Children do and say so many neat things and it is hard to remember it all!

I love your blog. It is always so positive and uplifting and I love to read about your girls. It is obvious you love your family and enjoy being a wife and mom. I'll keep reading you even if you never blog about yourself.

Blessings!

See how loved you are!

My blog is all about my children, too. It's more of a way for me to preserve memories, I guess. Most of my other thoughts just ramble around in my brain.

Feeling every bit of 46 ... ugh!

When I was 45, I was feeling fabulous.   I was fit, energetic, and I thought I could easily pass for 40;) Age was just a number and I certainly didn't think I felt or looked my true age. Then February 11th came and I turned 46.   I have sciatica on my left side, my left knee is stiff, and I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot.   I've resorted to stretching all the time and popping the occasional anti-inflammatory.   There are dark circles under my eyes that I've had to start putting concealer on.   My hair is growing out from last years 45 year old short hair, but it's just in an awkward stage.  I can't decide if I want to cut it again or let it grow out.   I even thought of styling my hair differently by doing a different hair part.   That was a terrible idea because I was SHOCKED to see how much gray is now growing in the center of my scalp.  I also think my metabolism is slowing down because my mid section seems a little thicker ... ...

"The Loveliness of The Seashore"

What is the "Seashore" like? "Where the sky meets the sea ... The seashore is a place where the sea and the sky are the same smoky gray until ... the morning sun breaks through. The hot noonday sun feels warm as a big soft cat covering you. And it seems there is nothing in the world except the sound of the wind and the rising and falling of waves." Over at Dawn 's there are so many wonderful books suggested on her blog. Earlier this month I couldn't help but to peek at some of them ... thanks Dawn! *The above quote came from The Seashore Book . The ocean moves in and then moves out. This place where water, sky and earth meet is never the same. The tide comes in, the tide goes out, each wave that returns pushes against the incoming swell as it is pulled back into the endless depths and swallowed into the vastness of an unknown deep. Such is each day of our "daily" lives. I grew up enjoying the sights, sound, and the surf of the NY/Jersey "shor...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...
