She awakes anew...

After my visit to the darkness of the flu....I return awakened and turning over a new leaf.
Priorities must be in order.
Top priority is my family. I have three wonderful boys to live with and enjoy life with and no longer will I let stress of work dim that happiness at all!

Fun plans in the works for a small business with a friend...will roll out those details in due time:)
Getting ready to order seeds.

And a nice reminder of my favorite quote:

"When you feel yourself starting to become whole, it's all right to accept positions of power, but not before then. The overriding problem with our country, and our world in general, is that we are, in large part, managed by incompetents. Most of these are men who have spent their lives seeking power rather than themselves.Consequently we are confronted with the grotesque spectacle of working for childish figures --half-baked little generals with overblown egos and no more understanding of the seach for meaning than some primitive, base organism spending its time feeding on the lives and feelings of others, guzzling them up like strained peaches, cackling to themselves as they play shell games with other people's destinies." -Robert James Waller

On the birds and the bee's...

"Let me tell you a story about crows and some other birds" said Mom.

Both boys sit down on the couch attentively, the light of the fire flickering in their eyes.

"Some birds decide to stay together forever once they meet eachother. They like eachother so much that they decide to stay together their whole lives" said Mom.

"Do they date first?" said Thing 1.

"I don't know about that, they might. But mostly they just like eachother and then fly around and build nests together and stay together their whole lives" Mom replied.

"The BackYardigans do that" said Thing 2.

"Really, do they, I didn't know that about them" Mom returns.

"Yep they really really do" says Thing 2.

"The BackYardigans mate for life, I just learned that from our youngest son" Mom says to Dad.
