Stress.....

What an ugly word....Unfortunately it's a big factor in my life right now.  So much for me to figure out for my family.  I wish I had someone around who could help me figure out what path to take, and how to go about getting done what I need to get done.  I have done everything I can to try to figure things out and I don't feel any closer to a solution than I was before I started.  I think this is going to be a very long year.  I just hope we come out on the right side......

 

Miles

I'm so bad at keeping track of things.  A couple of weeks ago Miles came running into our room first thing in the morning, he seemed so excited.  He jumped up on the bed and said "momma I had a dream!"  I think it must have been the first time he remembered his dream after he woke up.  He was so happy and excited telling me about this dream....  Well, we got up and started to get ready for the day.  At work I remember telling the girls about Miles' dream and how cute it was that he was so excited.  I figured that night I would jump on here and make a note of the date and what the dream was.  How great that would be for Miles to have a record of the first dream he remembered!  Well, it was certainly a great thought.  By that afternoon the dream was gone from my mind.  I could remember everything EXCEPT what the dream was.  Am I a bad mom?  How could I not remember something that he was soooo excited about?  I'm pretty sure it had something to do with him being a police man, catching bad guys with his lifter crane...  Man I wish I could remember.  A sure sign of my aging mind.  Hmmmmm.... Not liking this at all.    Last night when I was putting Miles to bed he put his little hand on my cheek and he said "when I get big I'm going to be a fireman, ok mommy?"  I just smiled at him and told him he could be what ever he wanted.  He smiled and told me he was going to have a big firetruck, and a ladder, and water and he was going to save people.  I love him so much, even when he is being super bad he just makes me smile.
