Been looking at the many, many options for a vacation this year. Like so many years we will go camping of course, and the typical treks out to family...but oh how to make them more fun than just a 6hour drive? ... ROAD TRIP:)
So, in my crazy endeavor I'm in the midst of planning a 3 day course around 4 states...stopping every so often in small towns, to enjoy the sweetness of said town, in the summer months. Some would question my plans -- wouldn't it be easier to just go to a waterpark with 3 lil kids -- nope I'm bound to add more gray hair & cram the 3 lil ones with hubby and me in our bitty crv :)
More to come:)

Miracles anyone?
I'm not a Katy Perry fan - but I am a fan of Firework - a song of hers. The song talks about being a nobody, feeling useless, feeling like there's no purpose, and then goes on to explain that all you need to do is "ignite, the light, and let it shine" - find your spark...find what makes you, YOU.
Recently I was in a discussion with friends about MIRACLES. How they don't seem to be around us, everywhere, like they were in Biblical days.....hogwash. I think in our western thinking, our lazy, news changes everyday, type thinking - we have just learned to "look over" and "forget" our miracles. In the "making of Katy's video - she asks young people from all over Europe to write her, tell her their story, their "spark" -- and a young woman talks about being born, unable to see --- and now, has a dream to be a professional photographer....who sees. Yep, you read right...she can see.
You walk away from seeing that, and go, cool she can see! In ten minutes you'll forget her story. A MIRACLE, that we as the audience just will look over, and forget.
How many miracles are all around you? How many miracles are in your life? Yeah, the sun rising is pretty good, still owning your home in this recession - i agree is a bit of a miracle, even having children is such an awesome moment in our lives.
But, have you ever witnessed a miracle - saw the IMPOSSIBLE be POSSIBLE?

vacation, Anyone??
Awhile back I talked about vacations - and here I am, still in the midwest, still under snow, still bundled up in the cold -- Can't think of a better time for a vacation!!!
But alas - we have no time for one!! Yeah, if I was able to take a week from my life, I would really need to use that time to fix my life - let's say paint:)...ok louder PAINT!! lol
And it's not like I can just pull the kids out of school......or can I...hmmm, they don't call me Mom for nuthin:)
