It’s only Tuesday but it feels like it should already be Friday!

It’s been a busy, and emotional, and tiring, but all in all good, week so far.

I thought I’d share a few snippets/peeks into the week so far.

Alesia has been bringing me flowers every so often. On Sunday, when I picked her up from work the night dear hubby left town, she brought me home these.

Aren’t they beautiful? I’m Dutch, of course I love tulips! I love the two bunches she picked, the purple and  yellow look gorgeous together!

I realize raising teens can be a difficult time, but it can also be a time of great rewards as you witness your children growing up into caring adults. We may still ‘bicker’ daily about the messes she leaves around the house, but the maturity I am beginning to see in this girl far outweighs the frustrations I might feel as I pick up yet another coat of hers off the floor. Ha! (just don’t expect me to say that AS I’m picking up another coat off the floor…)

With dear hubby away from  home, and travelling to different places, I thought it would be neat for him to have a blog! So I set one up for him, and he’s completely game to get it going! How awesome is that!?

I can’t wait to see what he has to share. 🙂 I’ll try not to be jealous if people enjoy his blog much  more then mine!

It’s POURING rain outside. Just thought I’d share that snippet of news. We had a PILE of snow last week. Sadly it’s almost gone. I guess I shouldn’t be sad since I’m the one that has to drive the eldest two to work now, but the snow is just so much prettier then this rain and mud.

My puppy just sits and stares at me. I like to tell myself he’s gazing at me with love in his eyes…

He’s probably really just wondering if my skin tastes salty or not.

I’m late for school. It’s really bad when the teacher is late for class. I really should set a better example but got side-tracked by my dear hubby’s texts. Better go now though or they’ll revolt and start playing games instead of writing out their spelling words!

Oh, all four got 100% on spelling tests yesterday. Just thought I’d share that bit of info too.
