Quote of the Day: "He who has HOPE has everything" -- Arabian Proverb

Song of the Day: "Undiscovered" by James Morrison. P.S. If you don't know this talented musician, you should. I am obsessed and have him pumping through the stereo often.

Of course, this better fits the theme of HOPE (and the title ;))...


I probably won't be blogging much this week. I babysit 12 times in the next 10 days, I have a major Anatomy exam (cardiovascular system, ugh) on Thursday, and, quite, frankly, I don't really have anything interesting to blog about (assuming all my other posts have been relatively interesting). So unless I think of something terrific, or one of you fine ladies has a special request, the only time you'll here from me will be from commenting on your blogs!

Side note: The three days off were exactly what I needed and this week has already started off on a better note :) My Monday morning rugrats were angels today and not once did I have to remind them to turn on their listening ears. I don't know if it was because they hadn't seen me in nearly two weeks or if I was just more relaxed, but it was such a delightful time with them today. Jeseca, if you're reading this, I'm so glad you took a chance and responded to my craigslist ad :) I love G, JT, and M!!

I'm hoping all of you have kicked off the new week on the right note!! Prayers that we all have a good and safe week!

Well, I hope you have a good - albeit busy - week. No worries on not being active this week in terms of blogging. Life has to come first... blogging shouldn't be a stressful thing.

Have a great week.

Just Popping In

I didn't intend to skip out for the past (almost) week, &, as a matter of fact, I actually HAD things to blog about (shocking, I know), but the end of last week was pure chaos and time did not allow for much of anything other than work/appointments/errands/getting ahead on school work/playing mom to three kids all weekend. And all of that running around & time spent with kids has left me with a terrible cold, intense nausea, and sleep deprevation. However, my flight leaves at 7:05 tomorrow morning & by 2 EST, I'll be in beautiful St Thomas with another friend visiting one of my favorite people in the world & for that, I am beyond grateful. Catch y'all in a week or so! Aloha. Or whatever the Caribbean equivalent of goodbye is.

Random Facts about Me You Probably Don't Care to Know.

Brown Eyed Girl Jenn did this post earlier today and I thought it was fun, I haven't done a meme in ages, and I have a handful of new followers who may like to know useless information about me, so I figured what the heck? Might as well steal it. Thanks, Jenn! The ABCs of yours truly! A. Age -- 23. I'll be 24 on May 20th (I love surprises in the mail, hint hint ;)) and some days I can't believe I'm that old, while others, I can't believe I'm that young. B. Bed size -- Queen and it's the most heavenly thing in the world, which is great, but also bad, because it is nearly impossible to pull myself out of bed every morning... or afternoon. C. Chore you dislike -- Cleaning the shower would probably be my least favorite. I have a shower/tub combo and I really just hate getting on my hands and knees and scrubbing the bejeezus out of the thing. Plus, I feel like I smell like Clorox for the next 3 showers. D. Dogs -- I have two fur babies, you can read about them ...

The Season of Giving... & Receiving

Read this post. Trust me, you'll want to. Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year. From Thanksgiving until January 1st, I forget about how much I despise cold weather and bask in the warmth that is Christmas cheer. Oh, Lord, is that cheesy or what? But I mean it. There's just something about all the decorations, the music, the preparation for the birth of my Lord, that makes me all giddy. But it can also be a stressful time with the end of school, shopping to do, letters to send, volunteer work, etc. I know I'm not the only person in the world who stresses. Kids, taking care of the home, jobs, finding a job, loved ones who are fighting for our freedom overseas, school, being a good friend and family member-- it can all be so overwhelming and take a toll on the body. I try to use homeopathic remedies (I think that's the term I'm looking for...) when I'm feeling incredibly stressed because Lord knows my body gets pumped full of enough pharmaceuticals as is...
