None needed...

Sometimes, there are days that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside...today was one of those days.

See, I've had a really rough two weeks and today healed all of that. I got to spend some time with the most wonderful parents in the world...I even got kisses from my amazing pawpaw while I was there. I also got to spend some time with the most amazing mother in law in the world...AND I got to see my brother and his family and spend some time with them....

In my old (ha ha) age, I am coming to the realization that those around me are what matters. It matters not what clothes I wear, how big my house is, or what car I drive...what matters is that I have people in my life who love me and who I love back!

As I was watching the news the other day, I saw a mom who had lost her daughter at a very young age...man, I thought my life was hard...I can't imagine what she was feeling!

Anyway, just so I'm not all gloomy...here's some good stuff...

I have a 1st and 3rd grader!!!!! OMGoodness!!!!! When did that happen??????????????????
Jenna, my 1st grader, has my best bud from growing up as her teacher and absolutely LOVES her class! Bryson has a wonderful teacher that is allowing him to use his imagination and his love for science in class and he LOVES it!
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times, I couldn't have asked for better children...I have never known love like this and am so blessed that I do now.

One last thought...I was very sick this week and my mom said to me, "One day, you'll realize that you never stop wanting to fix it for your kids." Hearing her say that made me cry like a baby and want to crawl in her lap again...I guess you're never too old to want your mom and you're never too old to want to "fix" what's wrong with your children...

Sometimes, I take a deep breath and realize that God has given me more than I deserve and I am SO grateful!

Until next time, take care of yourself and those you love!
