One of GOD's many blessings

Where does the time go??

Well, I guess we must return home to Daddy. Mariel has grown so much over the last 3 weeks and she sleeps about 5 hours at night. We will be back next month Ohio until then stay strong. Oh yeah, Nonno get some rest cause were coming back!!!!

Where it all started

There are some reasons why I miss Ohio,many are few, but they do exist. I enjoy driving around and knowing exactly where I'm going. I don't have to call my husband in a panic and ask which direction to go. The other reason I enjoy going back is our old townhouse(which we still own,can't seem to sell it) and reminiscing about our lives. I think about each new baby we brought home and how we would make it with 2 bedrooms and 3 kids. Somehow we made it work and moved on to the next phase in our lives. It's funny how we complain about certain times in our lives, but then grow to miss them. I would never want to go back , but appreciate the time and lessons I learned.

Things I hate

1. Mean kids
2. Kids with NO discipline
3. People that ask me if I'm done having kids
4. People that ask me if I'm going back to work ( I work really hard at home, Thanks)
5. People that ask me if their all mine ( no I borrowed them for the day)
6. People that think that 4 kids are enough( I never said 2 dogs was too many)
7. People that think they know me, but don't.

I think that's enough for today.

Thoughts for the Day

Since I been away from my husband for a week, I realize how much I miss our crazy life. My husband works very hard and that leaves me to care for the children. Most days they are in bed before he gets home. I occasionally wish I had family around to help or just to get a break. At the end of the day my patience begins to fade away. So, I do spend time on the phone complaining to my girlfriends about not having help. Well, I think this week I learned although it would be nice to have help or family around it can also make you dependent upon that help. I think I do alright all alone and I think GOD been trying to teach me that for awhile, good thing I started listening.

Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders and says, "Oh no, she's awake."

Why Why Why??????

I drove to Ohio yesterday and I 'am just wondering WHY people in New York feel as if they must drive like crazed animals. I can't stand they way all New Yorkers drive. They feel as if they are the only ones on the road that matter. I happen to think my precious cargo is pretty important. Anyway, We are here!
