Sweet murmurings.

2:43 am.

My 10-year old calls out:  "Mom??!"
Me (sound asleep):  "Yes?"
10-year old:  "Are you okay?"
Me:  "Yes, why?"
10-year old:  "Because I just love you so much."

Life of the Party


My husband has no problem entertaining himself.  He just received  a new blackberry with camera capabilities.  When he was away on business, my e-mail was flooded with pictures from his trip.  Here's my favorite.

Shots in the 'hood

I woke up this morning to gun shots.  Scary huh?  Upon further investigation I found out that a car and a deer collided and the police were putting the injured deer down.  It got me thinking how scary it would be to live in an area where guns shots are not for injured animals, but a fact of life. Awhile ago I read an article about a family living in a bad neighborhood in LA.  Every night the little girl went to sleep not in her bed, but in the bathtub to protect her from drive-by shootings. What about in Iraq?  Could you imagine hearing the constant gunfire?  Imagine not letting your kids go outside to play.  Being afraid to walk to the market?  Here I am worried about my children's plastic water bottles while there are mothers in other parts of the country and world who worry about life and death on an hour by hour basis.

I am truly thankful.
