Today is Tuesday

Well the boys are at school today.  I am now here at home.  At 11am I am taking Beverly Roth to run some errands.  It surprises me every year around this time when she calls me and asks me for help.  It makes me feel like a celebrity that she thinks of me.  It is like we have this ongoing unstated agreement that around Christmas I will drive her around town for awhile to run some specific Christmas related errands.  She always gives our family fudge an cookies.  She doesn't have much but every single year for the past 10 yrs this transaction has gone on.  She makes the best fudge.  She really does.  Maybe I will try to take a picture of her today and sneak it on here for posterity.

So it hasn't been too bad of a day after all...

As the day has gone on I have realized that it isn't as bad as it seems.  I have precious teenage boys here in my home who sometimes get on my nerves but ya know what?  They love home.  They do well in school.  They are kind and strive to better everyday.  They are conscious of right from wrong.  They are not out running around town looking for something better.  Why?  I will tell you why.  They have at home what they need.  So, I guess when they do leave and all I should be happy that I was lucky enough to be their guide through their time leading up to adulthood.  Thank you Heavenly Father for answering my prayer from years ago asking for someone to share the love I felt in my heart with someone.  Guess ya better be careful what ya pray for.  xo

December 6, 2010

Well this is the first day of my blogging.  I don't know what to say yet.  I just got home from taking the boys to school.  Jeremy took the bus and Aurelio took Diego.  It had been a week since I last drove Hunter, Jonnah, Sebastian and Rodrigo to school.  I like driving them to school.  I have been a bit melancholy lately thinking about that Hunter is 15 and that in just 3 very short years he will be 18.  I hope that I have been a good enough mom to him.  Sometimes I wonder.
