Dropped the ball..again!

Wow! I keep thinking everyday how I want to blog and yet my mind hasn't been in it lately. I have enjoyed so much reading others' blogs and wish I had their brains! As my friend, Kim, says.."I love your brain!" I keep meaning to write and update with pictures etc and I hardly have the time to keep up with the basics these days. In case this sounds like whining...it absolutely isn't! I've actually enjoyed life lately...in spite of is busyness.

I'm not the kind of girl who has ever like to sit still. I remember being younger and in church and wiggling around always trying to find something to do besides sit still. I love to be out and about. I am by no means a homebody. I have always thought the idea of an adventurous life sounded wonderful. You know...rock climbing up tall mountains...helicopter rides over waterfalls...pink beaches in Bermuda. Unfortunately, that life costs big money...money that I don't have right now! But I still dream it! Also, my hubby and I decided when we got married we wanted to have our children while we were young. My goal was finish having babies by 30...mission accomplished! I can actually hardly believe that I have three adorable, beautiful, smart, wonderful children in my life. Some days I feel like the same old same old of schooling, changing diapers, kissing "boo boos" is lame. There...I said it. Some days I wish there were more to my life.

Lately, I have started to see things differently. I've decided to see the true adventure in my life as it is in this moment instead of focusing on what I'm missing out on. I cannot say that life is boring. It may not be exhilarating in the sense that I I would like..but it IS amazing watching these three little lives unfold before my eyes. Seeing my oldest daughter learning to do gymnastics and learning to love something. Learning to read...and thinking I taught her to do it! Seeing my son and his zest for life! Hearing his laughter..and watching that kid's determination. Speaking of determination....the youngest one....she's a fighter. I have no worries that this little girl will ever be taken advantage of. She simply doesn't take it. Yet she's a loving, bright, sweet little girl who gives the sweetest smile of anyone I've ever seen.

An adventurous life would be great....and there's plenty of time for it! In the meantime...I think I have more adventure than I can handle right in these four walls.
