The pressure is on to deliver a dynamic post. It is my first after all. I just know someone is going to eventually read it and I'm gonna make a new friend! How exciting is that!? Well, I titled it as I did for a reason, and it's a good one also. Someday, once we get to know each other better I will tell you why, but for now, just trust me. Trust that this will be a great place to come when you need a good laugh, or a No Fail recipe, and the best thing I can give you as your new friend, is confidence! Yes, confidence. After you see my chaotic life, you will feel so good and confident about your own! So you're welcome for that, I will just take credit already for making you feel more organized, less messy, and well balanced! Welcome aboard my friend! I hope you like to stay up til the wee, wii, oui hours of the night (yes my name is French, and I took 2 years of French in High School, but that's where it ends, I am of German descent, oh, but I do occasionally buy some french fries for my daughter and then scarf them down after she's only had like 2! hee hee) Moving on, I seem to get sidetracked quite often! I am going to post a picture below that my 6 year daughter, Magenta (yes, I know it's a color, but it's also my daughters name and it's a great one, so don't knock it! She is named after her mother MaGENta -get it?) drew of our family on the beach. At first she didn't have me in the picture and I said "Sweetie, why isn't mommy in the picture?" her response "Because you are back in the motel asleep, while everyone else is playing on the beach!" Wow, that struck me kinda funny and I told her I would really like to be part of the picture too, so she quickly added me! I have reflected on this picture and the conversation between my daughter and myself several times in the past week. It made me quite sad to think that she would put me asleep in the motel. So I have decided that I need to put more balance in my life. I am someone who is by all definitions "A Night Owl! I stay up so late sometimes that it is all I can do just to wake up and get the kids off to school. So I am viewed by my children, as being tired quite often. I am publicly proposing a change for myself, right here, right now! Tonight is the last night I will stay up past 11PM. (It's 1:32am right now). Unless there is reason beyond my control to stay up(like if I am vomiting or something!) then I am no longer staying up late! My energy is going to be stored up for the hours when my children are awake so they see the best side of Mom!(not the sleepy, staying in the motel room side!) No more late nights for me! Wow, this is going to be soooo hard! My Mom has always said "nothing good happens after midnight"- I need to take her advice. So- Goodnight all. Catch ya bright and early!
