In Need Of A Nap??

I don't know about all of you but this first week of school has sure worn me out... and I don't even go!


You would think that with 3 of my children in school all day that I would be rested. This is SOOO not true. Chasing a very busy 2 year old and serving on the PTA not to mention football and lacrosse practices has left me needing a major nap!! How many more days til summer again??? Seriously the bags under my eyes totally clash with my new fall wardrobe (like I really have one...wishful thinking), and can we just talk about the laundry...never mind let's not!
Maybe it is because I am so tired that I found this email I received so cute. I just had to share.
An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard; I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of.He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.
An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour. This continued off and on for several weeks.Curious I pinned a note to his collar: 'I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.'The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar: 'He lives in a home with 6 children, 2 under the age of 3 - he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?'

I feel like that dog, can I come too?
I get up with the baby and I am not much of a morning person, so this transition has been harder on me then the kids (who never sleep in, ever).
I guess I just have to wander to the neighbors to get a nap...

I haven't been over here for a few days... you HAVE been busy! I love all of the school pictures, all of the kids look so cute in their new clothes and fresh faces... Man, I miss school! Where is Alex going to preschool?

FAMILY
I love my family so much. To be apart of a family like mine is so divine, where love is shown hurt is shared our love for each other is never impaired. We talk we laugh we cry, but we are a family and we do it all together. For as a family we do it all as one you hurt one you hurt all and as a family unit we will all stand tall. For we are family a family full of strength a family full of love a family no one can touch. That is why I love my family so much.

A book is like a garden carried in the pocket.
