Rain Rain not on Thursday!

Alfred's 5th birthday party is planned suppose to take place on the beach this Thursday, a picnic in the making for about 40 people, and yes the weather forecast calls for rain. So here is my delimma, do we move the date, move the party, or just stand out in the rain and see if any brave souls show up. More to come!

Dusted off and ready to go!

It seems strange to start writing here again, I had actually forgotten about this blog. The title of which, is Memories of our youth, but these past few months have held memories that I would like to forget. The week I spent in the hospital after the slight stroke I had that Saturday morning with my kids in the next room is on the top of that list. Although it happened a while back it hasn't been until now that I could write about it, and even at this it's something that I would rather skim over than mull around.
In short I got knocked down both literally and figuratively but the important thing is that I got back up again. These past weeks have been a blur, but this morning I sat at my computer and found myself planning small projects to do in my spare time. Projects that I look forward to with excitement. And I take this a good sign that I am getting some normalcy back in my life. The last months have been about survival and nothing else. Surviving work, getting all the marking and grades done, the planning the organizing, the kids, the daycare, the house, the good wife, mother, friend, and teacher that I am suppose to be.... you know those expectations we all put on ourselves the unrealistic ones. When will I learn, have I learned... too early to tell but lets hope so.
