Treasuring My Life

Okay, its Tuesday. We went on a wild goose chase to find a particular kind of tupperware box. And that didn't work out. So we make an unnecessary trip to town. Oh well. We had a good time together either way. My kids are drivin me nuts. Haha. They are adorable though. I wouldn't trade any day with them for the world.

I have seen many many "memes" for Tuesday, but none have really caught my attention. I like the "Tuesdays;In Other Words" the most out of all. Still, it just doesn't click with me. So...I will just blog along my merry lil way until I have one that works for me.

Im a stay at home mom. As I sit here, blogging on my lil page...drinking hot tea...I just thought "Wow! This is what I always pictures THOSE Moms doing!" You know, the perfect ones, with perfect lil children in their perfectly clean and organized houses and lives. Sipping their tea with their lil bloggy's while their kids were off doing something productive and quiet.

Okay, fantasy over. I'm sipping tea because my throat feels like its about to combust and my kids are behind me covered in chocolate and screaming like hyenas, for no particular reason other than to exercise their voice boxes. One is playing a war game, geared WAY above his age level and the other is intently watching him blow people up. Oh, and did I mention that I have to stop blogging every 2 minutes to do something else in their never-ending list of Mommy-to-do's? No, I forgot to mention that? Well, it must have been because it slipped my mind the 12th time I had to get up and leave what I was thinking behind.

The fact that my children aren't perfect, though, is what makes them oh-so-special. My son has a quirkiness about him and he is SO so smart. I'm not just saying that because he's mine either. My daughter has an attitude that just won't quit. Only one word I know will describe her...sassy. And the fact that they are both covered in chocolate only makes them sweeter.

Over the last while with my blogging, reading other blogs, and taking pictures like I have been, I have fallen completely in love with my babies like I never have before. I cherish them. I have fallen in love with my LIFE...and everyone in it. I got a letter today that confirms that I will be starting college in Spring of 09. That makes me love my life even more. It's finally coming full circle.

So with this, I officially start "Treasure It Tuesdays"...and I don't care if anyone joins me. This is mine. And I am so0o happy with it.

I treasure my life. For the first time in 26 years.
