I reread my last post and it sounded a bit whiny. And it sounded like I wasn't happy with how things are. And that just isn't true.
Somebody(s) close to us just experienced a devastating loss. A part of their lives that is still unfulfilled. I am confident that their prayers will be answered (hopefully soon), but the unknown has got to be eating away at them.
Tonight, I sat at the kitchen table and helped Samantha with her homework while talking with Lexi about her favorite parts of school. While dinner was cooking, we played a game of Trouble together as a family. And now, after the kids are safely tucked into bed, I sit with my husband enjoying a glass of wine and watching our favorite Monday night lineup on TV. So you know what? Status quo ain't that bad.

- This is a place to for me to rant & rave and mostly brag about my family. I try to be funny, but realize things are much funnier in my head than they are written down.I went to college to be a teacher, but after a semester of student teaching came home and told my husband (whom I married in 1999) I could teach or we could have kids. You can see what we choose! So I went to the opposite extreme and got my Business degree with an emphasis in Marketing and minor in Economics. After getting pregnant with our first child I gave up the business world and became a SAHM, which it turns out is my ultimate dream job. A short 19 months later we were blessed with another child, followed 3 years later by our 3rd. Our 4th and final baby arrived on Valentine's Day 2011. And the inevitable question - are we done? In the past I would have said I didn't know, but after a high risk 4th pregnancy and 4 perfect children, I can now say yes. We're enjoying our crazy life with two school aged daughters, one adorable little boy, and our newborn daughter, taking each day as it comes.

It doesn't matter where you go or what you do, it's who's beside you that counts

I know- January is the pits. I'm having major blog-block and whining about it too. But you're right- all in all things are pretty damn good :)
Thanks for delurking!
January is long and dreary, especially here. So I can definitely understand you.
Sometimes though, I like status quo. As long as I'm bored with my girls and John, I'm good. :)
