Thankfully, I've Been Busy!

The last 25 days... I am ashamed to say... have been busy. We've dealt with several illnesses (Owen's first stomach virus was one of them... poor baby!). Made a long road trip with all three kids in tow. Helped out an ailing friend. Contended with some really late nights at work for me. All while keeping up our usual schedule... more or less.

Some things slip during times like these... dusting, folding socks, four course dinners and my blog. OK... the dinner thing never happens anyway, but you get my drift. Unfortunately, my blog is so new it can't really afford to be ignored or else the handful of you out there who take the time to read it will stop!

I wish that I had exciting and wonderful things to fill my post with tonight. Instead it's the boring and mundane that has kept me so distracted that I was unable to find the time to sit and write... something that I enjoy so much. OK... boring and mundane as well as sleep... I did forgo writing a few times because I desperately needed to sleep!

It's times like these in my life that I think of one of my favorite Rob Thomas songs. The first time I heard it, I cried... and every time since. This song is so precious that I have to share it with you all tonight. If you have the time to listen to Little Wonders, please do. Really listen to the lyrics and the message therein.

Whenever I get overwhelmed with my so-called busy life I try to remind myself that it's the all -nighter I pulled on the couch with Owen and a"puke bucket" by my side, the late night at The Peddler with some really funny workmates, the piles of mismatched socks, frozen pizza dinners and the occasional night out with a best friend or husband that make up the tapestry of my life. These are the things memories are made of no matter how boring or ordinary they seem to be at the time. Once you put them all together what you have is your life, your story and the realization that they may be "the little things" but they are wonderful.

I am thankful for each one of them.
