It has been almost a week since I've sent my daughters to Texas to stay with my mom for track-out. Two more weeks to go and I miss them so much...
Last night my mother called and asked if my brother could babysit the girls overnight at his house. Now I love and trust my brother, who is a very responsible adult; however, he is my little brother and he is not a parent himself. I was torn but the girls really wanted to go and he really wanted to spend some quality time with them. I only called once last night, to wish them good-night. Then I really had to let go. Is this how it's going to feel as they are growing up?
All my plans for a romantic weekend getaway with HM? Out the window (he's recovering from a horrible case of food poisoning anyway). All my plans to re-stain the kitchen cabinets? Well, maybe I should do that one so I can take my mind off worrying about my children...

Word of the Year 2011- Breathe
I am inspired to find my word of the year for 2011... And the word is breathe.
Breathing is the most essential function of living; yet, we forget about its importance and fail to do it properly - especially when we need it most. So may this year be a breath of fresh air to remind us to let go of what is not healthy, to be mindful of what is most important in our lives, and to take the time to do the critical things properly.
Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!
