My other love....

Today I had a gorgeous guy in my arms for most of the day.He wasn't my husband, but that was ok, hubby knew I was having company today.

We cuddled and we giggled and I didn't want to let him go when his mommy came to pick him up. I love that little guy so much.

To thank me, she brought me some beautiful tulips. I love fresh flowers! She didn't really have to do that, I should have given her something beautiful for the gift of sharing her little boy with me again.

My arms are empty once again.....

  2. Oh Kindness, I love her little guys so much. As though they were my own. I'd take them whenever, in a heartbeat. I miss them....I had them every day for so long.

    My heart hurts sometimes, with all the missing.

  9. As time goes on and my daughters get a little older 17 and 20 and often they are both out doing their thing my lovely wife pointed out, what the heck are we going to do when they are gone? I quickly pointed out the long list of things i accomplished despite the fact they were not home and would probably done them anyways and maybe some cuddle time on the couch during a movie with either or. The youngest is okay with hanging out with dad at home but the oldest prefers to be out and about with me. So i reminded her that they both had young men in their lives and that the possibility always looms of them having children in the future. So enjoy the time for one never knows what the future holds. Glad you were able to have some cuddle time. Caught your link through HE( he's a good friend of mine along with Within Without.

  10. Dave, I love tulips as well. They signal the hope of spring for me.

    FN, I'd never delete any of your comments m'dear! It's juat that now they don't appear immediately as I've enabled the comment moderation due to my having run amok of some angry people.

    Sketchy, yes it most certainly is wonderful to have little ones to hug and love. I still miss him.

    Vicus, I thought you lived for maudlin. Didn't I already send you that video of me belting out Proud Mary?? Don't get greedy on me now, vicus dear.

    Hodeedoo, welcome! I thoroughly enjoy both Within and Without and HE. I especially like it when they post pictures of their antics together.

Wheeeeeeee!

Today I was awakened to the not-so-delightful sounds of enormous dump trucks, (you know the ones that are a dump truck and they haul a trailer behind?) dumping truck load after truck load of dirt behind my house. Then the most incredibly noisey and squeaky (do they not grease the tracks on those things??) grader began shoving the dirt and rocks around. I had to fight the urge to throw a can of WD40 over the fence to the driver. It wasn't even eight in the morning. It wasn't even 7:30 yet. So I reluctantly arose from my bed and cleaned up the kitchen. After it was spotless, I went back upstairs to my freeze-zone (the only room in the house with AC) to do some online banking and make calls to check on medical bills, etc. As I was finishing up, in walks my husband! At first I had a moment of Oh-no-he's-lost-his-job terror. Then it passed after he smiled. Seems they ran out of work for the day. Odd, but then that's Boeing. So hubby was roped into going school cloth

Peace Begins with You

In my readings this week, I came across a video of Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin. He gave a talk entitled, "Peace Within." Who doesn't want peace? Who doesn't crave peace within their soul? In their lives? In their hearts and in their homes? How often do we have complete peace? I'd say my answer would have to be that there isn't enough peace in my life, heart or home. It's not like I live in a warzone--I do not. I'm blessed to live in a nation where I have freedoms granted to me by the founding fathers and I do not risk being struck down by bombs or shot by snipers when I venture forth from my home. My neighborhood is relatively safe, so much so that I take solo walks. The peace I speak of is something different. It's the peace that can be with me no matter my circumstances. I crave that peace. Elder Wirthlin says that peace begins in the hearts of righteous individuals. How does it begin? With a relationship with our creator. In ferven

She's Something...

Most of you know that I've got four children. My eldest is seventeen. Oh heavens...how did that happen? Wasn't I just seventeen the other day? I'm sure I was.... Well, she's amazing. I know the majority of mothers have very high compliments to pay their children--and rightly so. However, my baby girl is astounding by anyone's standards. She is going to high school and college at the same time. In high school she's taking mostly AP (Advanced Placement) classes, which also count for college credits. She gets up at five a.m. every morning, goes to Seminary, then goes to school, she works four hours daily as an office manager at Winderemere Real Estate. She speaks Spanish, plays piano, guitar and flute. She goes to the gym daily and it shows. This was her yesterday. This is a picture I just took of her, after getting her braces put on. Now, having said that she is gifted and talented, I should ammend this post to tell you the following. She just got home
