OH yeah.. uh huh! Sometimes I just want to break into the 'leap 2 3s' in the hallway too! (That's the basic Irish soft shoe move - LIFT up and kick your bottom! :)) SO much fun!
Having leisurely mornings is something that I am enjoying immensely as of late. Today was no different. I woke up did some correspondence and headed up to my painting project to dot some i's and cross some t's. Of course I got a bit carried away because I couldn't let good paint go to waste and went into the Little One's closet to add some more to her mural... when I returned to my iPod dock, it said it was past the time to get out of the house for Sunday morning yoga! DOH! Plus it's January and it's really full in January.. full of people with great intentions... I'll just leave it at that. :) I thought, this is the FIRST time I was able to go to this class on a Sunday (with my favorite teacher) and I am going to jet out of here and make it! And I did... BUT I forgot my badge to get in - thankfully you get one 'forget' time and I know the people at the desk so they know I'm legit. WHEW! I made it... I'm on the mat. It'...
Alice in Wonderland ride at Disneyland... crazy story? maybe I don't want easy, I want crazy! I think this has just become the motto of me! I can't decide if I am upset or proud that my sanity is in question. Crazy, like all labels, is relative. Crazy for Lady Gaga is certainly different than crazy for Martha Stewart.... Can you imagine Martha in a meat suit? She'd be more interested in seasoning it and searing it... ha! Crazy love: YES! Crazy stinky: No thanks. Crazy brilliant - YES please! Crazy tension... well you get my drift... Mentally ill... another difficult one to put in a box. The Special Olympic athletes that I have experienced are the happiest people around! I'm pretty sure we all have our own definitions of crazy and our own levels of craziness. Only when you really don't care what others think of you do you reach your 'authentic crazy'. :) This version I accept with joy!
the First I have been blessed with 3 lovely children. The first two were pretty much the ideal children.... developed physically right on time or early, learned quickly, listened to direction, gave big hugs, behaved in church (this is important to my parents... :)), are loved by teachers, and shine brightly. And then (I remember actually saying this), I decided I wanted a little more chaos.... and along came my little teacher. Oh, I learned a LOT about being a Mom from my first two the Second kids; about self-sacrifice and complete dedication, but I didn't really learn about communication, unconditional love, and breaking through boundaries until I was challenged to do so. I snuggled with her more than I did the others. I felt the warmth in her heart more deeply. I wasn't as concerned with goals and bed times and the 'right' way to be a parent. I let go of the reins. What did this do for me? For one, it got me a second appoint...
