Sweet Memories

I am a career woman with one child, striving to find a better balance between life/work. I enjoy documenting memories, and am striving to get more creative with sharing them with others. I struggle with making decisions, and am seeking a stronger support system and want to learn from others' experiences. I want to connect more with those that have a sweet sensitive spirit.

Live



I know this pic is from the summer but it always reminds me of the simple things is life and what makes me smile. I have a lot of these quotes around the house and have pictures behind them. I move them around the house and just enjoy looking at them. My husband is a free spirit and all of his time spent with my little one is times like what the picture tells. He picks up and goes and never gets stressed or overwhelmed around her, every day is treasure with dad. She has such a deep look in her eyes when she is with him, savoring every moment. I have decided that Mondays for me will be a time to reflect on good memories, 'sweet memories', since it is the day of the week that is most stressful at work. I need to start it right somehow. We will jam out to Kidz Bop 11 on the way to school this morning and I will get my Kiss, Hug, Good bye I love you, and shake (a little dance she does), then she says "Dont forget to call me" and then waves from the window smiling blowing kisses. Not too many parents get a good bye like I do, she is so full of passion, I just love that she displays it in such a loving way. Her teacher compliments her in this way too, the way she treats others, animals, unborn babies (in her teachers belly). She put her hands, palms up to her teachers belly the other day and for about a half hour, talked about the growing spirit in her belly and what we needed to do to protect it....

She also announced to the whole waiting room at the doctors office the other day that she was there for the chicken pox (she had a rash), then proceeded to ask me why I didnt have a boyfriend (Well sweetie, I have a husband I dont need a boyfriend). She had the whole silent waiting room (when we entered) roaring in laughter and then got upset because she thought everyone was laughing at her.

Charlottes Web, oh, you have to see it, I am filled with joy from that movie. We have to find a way to have a baby pig and a horse now. Well, I do live in Farm country, I told her I will sign her up for horse back lessons and she can see the baby pigs at her school in the spring time (she goes to school on a farm).

    This is a beautiful post! I never had children -- and that was good for me -- but when I read about moments like these, I envy mothers of young children.

    Thanks for leaving an encouraging comment on my post about money. I always forget that there are people reading who don't leave notes.
