Time just flies

Ten! I am not ready for that! Seriously- when did that happen? I will have to admit I do know that time flies and I can rattle off about a million things in the last 10 years this not so little girl has accomplished. She continues to reach for the stars and not look back. She is my firecracker and takes "no" for "not now"- which always cracks me up. She will look for new angles to accomplish whatever it was she really wants to do- she takes determination to whole new levels! She finds inspiration in so many things, it reminds me to push harder, to be more and settle for nothing. Yeah, when she says she's going to be something or do something I listen... she'll do it, in her own way... messes and all. She will have to be successful- housekeepers aren't cheap! Happy Birthday baby girl!!! Time flies and I love flying with you!

The WOW factor!

Sometimes you wake up and your "to do list" is just beyond your day. How can you possibly get everything done and still manage to stay sane? Is that even possible? I laugh sometimes when I look at my life and people remind ME I have MS. Really? Thanks for the reminder, cause for a second I forgot! See I live my life knowing that at any moment something could happen that dictates how I need to live it, so till then, I HAVE to live it! I know there are people that would say I have to go at a slow pace and rest and all that. Believe me, I do. I get plenty of rest, and have found plenty of ways of saying NO. But I have also found plenty of things to do.
About a year and a half ago I was in class listening to people "talk" and introduce themselves. It amazed me the importance they placed on their jobs and really didn't mention their family. It kind of saddened me. That moment I made a decision to be a wife first, then mom, then student, and then work... That was how I introduced myself. Totally funny how the reactions have been. Being a "full time wife and Mother" as I have said in blogs before isn't a joke, you don't get time off- ever! I laugh when others really have to wrap their heads around it... yep, when my hubby hurts I hurt, when my kids hurt I hurt.... When my business "shuts down" I go to a new employment! Funny! I guess the big WOW factor of my life will be when people look at me, they will see a WIFE and MOM that cared, and so it poured over into my work... not bad! I guess maybe I'll take time to rest (a few minutes for my MS).
