All week long, the older kids have stayed outside to play after walking home from school. If the little ones want to go out, I grab a lawn chair, the phone and a bunch of tissues for runny noses (it's still kind of chilly) and plunk myself out in the yard for a couple of hours to watch them play until parents arrive to pick everyone up.
I am a busy Mormon mother with three children from my first marriage and four bonus children in New York. I am a child of God. I am blessed with three wonderful extended families and many amazingly talented friends. I work full-time in a dental office and we live in a little 1940's rental just five blocks from the public library.
I adore Oregon.
I am happy. I am busy. I am loved.
I may be changed by what has happened to me, but I will not be diminished by it. Maya Angelou
"Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishing." -Anais Nin
