1 feather earring...

I would love to wear 1 feather earring...
just for some rebellious fun.

I would love to have a MISMATCHED set of chairs,
my goodness...THAT could never be done.

I would like to see my wooden boxes scattered randomly,
or
maybe a mismatched THIS or THAT arranged not so uniformly.


But THAT will NEVER happen...
No, not in THIS lovely home...

You see there is  a MAN who lives here...
and he likes things JUST SYMMETRICALLY SO.

He has a touch of OCD...
THIS I have grown to KNOW!

So next time I get angry or annoyed at this little trait...
Maybe I'll wear just 1 feather earring...
THAT is SURE to IRRITATE!!!

FLASHBACK.....Shasha style

This was written 2 years ago for Shashamane.
ENJOY..........




Okay...so if you read this blog, youll remember that I wrote a little poem for Malachi on night.(if not- go down a few posts and youll find it)
Really- it just wrote itself while I was at the computer one night.
Well, Malachi loves it so much that our little "deal" is that EVERY TIME he says he loves me during the day, it is really "code" for ..."say my poem please!"
Soooo....as you can imagine, We have been repeating it alot!!!
Well Today, Shashamane came to me and said, "Mama, when are you going to write MY poem?"
It was soooo cute, all day she said, "Have you finished it yet?"
I finally had to tell het that It would be ready tommorow morning.
So tonight as I got our school stuff ready for tommorow--I came up with a little poem for a little princess.....Here goes.



Shashamane Irie...
What a special princess you are.

More and More everyday,
you shine like a sparkling star.

Always first to fall asleep at night,
after a long day of princess play.

And first to rise every morning-
you are ready to greet the day.

You shimmer like a flower,
fresh from the morning dew.

I could never really tell you how much that I TRULY LOVE YOU!

Late Night Mutterings........

This is the time in the day when my mind starts to reel

Its always at night, alone.....trying to deal.

Why all the doubt?

Could I do more?

These are the questions that knock at MY door.

Its sooo hard to unwind.

Sleep's what I NEED to find.

Planning and planning,,,,i dream of planning.

My life before me....ever EXPANDING.

I asked my Mom today..."Does that ever stop?"

The worrying, wondering, .....She said "NO!"

My heart dropped.

I Love this life.....but I fear TIME.

Tick, Tock,,,always the clock!

If I sleep Ill miss out...Its like a child's thought.

"If I fall asleep...Ill miss out on ALOT!"

Birthday Girl!

Sheba, Sheba....oh so sweet.
Shes the "baby" of the family-which cant be beat.

She loves polka dots, FOOD and gymnastics too.
5,6,7,8....She knows JUST what to do.

Shes SUPER-DUPER smart and sassy for sure.
Her smile brightens ANY room...and her CUTENESS could be a cure.

Were so blessed to have this special royal baby.
Shes the latest piece to the puzzle- A precious gift God gave me.

She's turning 4...Its her special day!
Happy Birthday Sheba- Your on you way!


Love-Your Family

Seriously Heavy...

Sweet, Sweet Malachi....

Malachi, Malachi, you are so very sweet.
Like ice cream and candy, your kisses cant be beat!

10,20,even 30 times a day,
you walk right up to me ,
and super-sweetly say, "I Love you Mommy" ....
Then you pucker up those lips..

I NEVER have to wait at all for even 1 kiss.

It makes me want to stop time or at least SLOW it down..
But I know no matter matter what I do ..We are tommorow bound.

I LOVE YOU, MALACHI!!!!!
