About Me

Who says you have to follow some kind of guidelines in life... On the advice of a great friend, this blog has been created. Seems, some people find my stories, life, and antics very amusing and comical. I'm not sure I would always agree with them, but I am putting it out there for you to decide on your own... About me: I'm a single mom of 2 amazing boys. My life is pure chaos, organized chaos, and somehow works for me. I'm not always sure how I make it work, but it does and gets us through each day, happy to face the next. Sounds a little crazy, and maybe it is, but it's our life. Our chaotic life...

Quiet

This is the part of the day that I love on the weekends... It's early, no one is awake except me, not even the dogs...  I don't have to talk to anyone, listen to anyone, hear the tv, phones ringing, kids bickering.... Just complete quiet!

The quiet is an amazing thing!  It's where you can think about the past, the present and the future.  It's where a good book becomes a great book.  Where life seems to be at a standstill and nothing matters except that quiet little moment...  I'm sure there will come a day when I long for the quiet to disappear, but for now, in this moment, I am going to treasure it, and who says you have to give up that small little sliver of peace, even if it only lasts just briefly?

We get so caught up in our day to day lives, running here and there, working, school, family, kids... that we forget to take a minute to just breathe and ignore everything around us and just be in that quiet, brief, little moment.

For most, these moments come very rarely.  For some, they are constant.  Enjoy it!  Crave it!  Cherish it!  Use these moments to take a step back, think about everything or about nothing.  They are your moments.  They are quiet moments, and they should be treasured.
