Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Somethings I noticed this weekend.

1. I need to take more time to listen to my kids when they want my attention, in that moment if possible.
2. When Mike would tell me I ignore the kids (and him) the first few times they try to get my attention he was telling the truth (who knew).
3. My children are brilliant (as are all of our children) if only we took the time to hear what they are saying.
4. It's fun to let loose and dance in a field when nobody is around.
5. Kids like to run, even when they fall and you are comforting them, they sob out they want to run again.
6. Running with my 3 year old makes me feel like a child again.
7. Remember to always let Jessica be a child and have fun... she is only twelve (oh my god she is twelve already?!?!?)
8. Running into the ocean in your underwear in the middle of nowhere is invigorating!
9. I have more courage than I thought (mice nests, spiders, big ass bugs I can handle it).
10. I have discovered that when life gives me lemons I am automatically choosing to make lemonade. :o) Me an optimist? When did that happen? (maybe in Jan 2006)

Renos on my house are in full swing, I'm exhausted and am looking forward to lying down tonight.

Until tomorrow... when there is always more.
