Busy Days... Busy Nights...
Wow... It has been so hectic lately... My body is craving rest and my soul is craving peace. It feels like I am spiraling in obligations and reponsibilities and the important things are getting away from me. So many things to do... All work, no play! I can't wait for my one week vacation! The kids are excited, my husband is excited, and I am oh so excited! We'll sleep in, spend quality time, and just have fun. Well, it is late... My brain is a bit fried... And I can feel my old friend Sleep calling me. As I always say, I come from a place of love... and I hope the same for you too.

Question: what place can have weather that changes from Sunny to Pouring down rain in a blink?
ANSWER: ALASKA!!!!
Wow, the day started out great... Warm but not too hot... Sunny but not to the point where it hurts... Just perfect! Well, that is until Alaskan Mother Nature got a wild hair up her butt and decided that rain was necessary- so fine! Rain it is... It was actually some kind of wonderful. It was not cold gross rain; I actually wanted to walk in the rain- better yet, burn calories and RUN in the rain! I wish I had the cash to go buy good running shoes at Skinny Raven but that will have to get pushed until I have the kids' school items bought and paid for.
Well, tomorrow is a big day. It is the day that I find out about life outside of my current place of employement. I am absolutely conflicted and will definitely have to weigh out the pros and cons. A lot of thinking needs to be done and I need to ask myself the question: What do I want?

What a wonderful weekend!!!
It has been such a tough 2 weeks here at work that the weekend was a nice break from it all. We hiked Thunderbird Falls which was great and the kids enjoyed it tremendously. It was a bit busy though and I think that I will go get in touch with my nature at the Botanical Garden. I have to tell you, after listening to kids bicker, snicker, and whine... Silence is Wonderful!!! I'm going to drag my husband for coffee and a walk to end the week- what a great way to end it, huh?
Well, I have been very fortunate to have a positive outlook especially the last year or so. There's been a lot of lessons learned and bridges crossed and I am definitely a better person for it. I am learning to recognize negativity in others and not let it affect me. I am in a phase of my life where I am determined... Determined to succeed! And I definitely will not let others put a damper on my spirits. I have put goals down on paper. Things to accomplish in 1 month, by the end of the year, and before next year is over. It is very empowering especially as I mark them off the list.
That is all for now... I have to say... Being as debt free as possible by the end of next year is definitely on the list!!!
