The girls used to call this the yellow Vietnam room (because of all of our Vietnam paintings and decorations.) Now it is officially the yellow piano Vietnam room. We were given this piano for free the other day and the girls are thrilled. Who cares if it is out of tune. To them, LOUD is what matters.
Time Flies
2008 - It came in like a lion this year. Kevin and I said "hello" to the new year in the emergency pet hospital in Boulder. He tells the story really well on his blog, so I won't go into details. Because of the drama that came with that night and the days to come, I failed to really sit down and think about my hopes and dreams for the new year. Now it is already January 21, and here I sit finally taking the time to catch my breath and think on this next year. . . this year that is already one month complete.My grandmother is always talking about how quickly time flies. I think I'm starting to relate. It drives me absolutely crazy when I think about all of the things that I hope to accomplish - all of the things that I want for my family - all of the things that I need to do - all of the ways that I hope to grow - only to blink my eyes and see that time is slipping away so quickly. At the end of the day I do well to say that my kids got out of their pajamas today, the family was fed, the laundry was done and I read my Bible for maybe 15 minutes. Where does the time go?
And if the time is flying by so quickly, how am I possibly going to tackle living my hopes and dreams? How will I ever meet my goals? Is there really enough time? I surely hope so. . .
You see - this year I do expect to accomplish more than dressing and feeding my kids, getting through a day of school and taking a shower every other day. This year I have big plans. . .
I'll tell you all about them soon. . .
