Life in the 'Menopause Lane.'

I remember a time when I would 'leap' out of bed so full of plans for the day that I couldn't wait to get started. Fast forward to today, where I'm in a 'mood' before I even open my eyes. What happened??? Did my 'cinderella' story have a few to many frogs,is my body giving out, what's up with this? I have FINALLY learned to enjoy the moment because I now know, 'this to shall pass.' But as I slunk out of bed this morning I couldn't help but wonder, 'when?' I'm beginning to think that this age isn't all it's craked up to be. In fairness though it is nice to have GROWN children whose company I so enjoy, the 'grand' children are TRULY 'grand', I can 'come and go' as I please, most of the money I earn goes to take care of me, ect. ect. You know, now that I think of it, my life's pretty darn sweet. I guess you simply have to see things from the 'right' angle. So to all of you, [my special darlings] 'Happy Monday!'

I TRY to be happy and thankful for the events unfolding in front of me.

Last week Rachel went grocery shopping. When she got home, we decided to cook a pizza for dinner. Brynna and Hannah were jumping up and down and were excited for the pizza to get done cooking.

I was thankful that Rachel got some food for the family and the girls seem to like it.

It was one of those surreal life moments where you think to yourself -- you really don't need anything else, seeing your girls happy is enough. : )

Happy Monday to you too. It was so great getting to see you both for a few today. I forget or maybe just take for granted how much my family means to me. I sure do love all of you.
