...and there's more...

I seriously can not get enough of this. It makes me smile. Hope you are too.

how do i press pause on my life?

one minute I am sweating pool side in eighty degree weather,
the next I am shivering flying to forty degree weather.

how is this possible?
better yet, why do I live in Michigan?

a perfect week.
my bones got warm.

oh, how things change when children are part of your life.
entertainment in a condo in florida with eighteen bodies take on a whole new meaning when my nieces and nephews put on a talent show. despite that i am a drama coach (as kennedy calls me) i am quite proud of their show. my one year old niece, danika, has got the moves! and cole and chase provide the beat.

i know i am biased but it was the best form of entertainment your money can buy and it was even free!

give it to mommy she can do anything!

Truth be known, I have never referred to my mom as "mommy". Not even in my growing up years. That would be odd. I am not saying that those who call their mom, "mommy" are odd, mind you. For me, it doesn't seem right. Just like my dad is dad- never "daddy". I think my dad referred to himself in a conversation with me as "daddy" once and I started laughing and said in question, "Did you just call yourself "daddy"??! He laughed too. But that may be for a later post...

My MOM has deemed the add "just give it to Mikey, he'll eat anything" in a whole new realm. When I moved into my house I had some great ideas and let me stress the word ideas. They quickly fell into the category of wishes that were unattainable as my feeble attempts to execute them failed miserably. One of my many brainstorms I had found on the internet (HCTV?-Jeremy put me onto it) when I was remodeling the bathroom. A sample video showed a shower curtain in which you inserted grommets into a clear liner to display photos. Simple. I traveled to many places to find just the right grommets and shower curtain. It couldn't be that hard. Wrong.

After blaming it on my coordination difficulties due to this darn disability and attempting to pass the buck to two or three innocent friends, I knew that my lack of coordination wasn't the problem. The challenge was recreating this "simple" craft of making a creative shower curtain. I came to the realization that the dollar one that wasn't wide enough and didn't match that I purchased at Bibles For Mexico would suffice. This brainiac idea for a cool shower curtain was a thing of the past- a fleeting idea. That is until my "mommy" showed up this weekend with the project completed. Seriously, my mom can do anything.
