What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare? No time to stand beneath the boughs and stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, in broad daylight, streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty's glance, and watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can, enrich that smile her eyes began? A poor life this if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare. William Henry Davies

Is it PMS, or is it my life?
I thought I would pop in to (finally) change the link for "big and little" blog and caught myself reading the poem I placed at the top of my blog. It suddenly dawned on me that lately I am feeling like I barely have time to breathe, let alone stand and stare! Let's see, I am a mom of two young boys....that alone should be enough. One is home schooled (or is that nagged) while the other mostly gets ignored throughout the day. I am chief cook and cleaner and laundry washer. I have a casual position at the hospital which could be close to part time hours if I didn't refuse as much as I do. Aaand!, I am trying to complete two online courses in preparation for my re certification exam. In between all that I am also trying to maintain somewhat of a social life. Were it not for my weekly tea times and visits with friends, I think I would be a ranting lunatic....or wait, I am!

Sending a little note to say how thankful I am to know you and for each time we meet for tea.
Also, may I send a cyber (((hug)))?
It sounds like you're holding a whole whack of stuff together and would maybe like a little reassurance that you're doing all right?
Well, from my angle, you're doing more than amazing. Hang in there! What a lot of work you're doing right now! I will touch base about tea night again soon, hope that helps :)
I am telling myself at least a few times a day now... "breathing is good... breathing is GOOD"!
Thankful for you and thinking about you and your family this weekend :)
Awww! Thanks Krista. Yes, breathing is good...breathing is GOOD!
