A general feeling

If you read any of the mass media (i.e. cnn or any newspaper) or socialize with anyone, you know that the world is going through a hard time. The economy is in recession, genocides are in progress and people are generally feeling a lot of stress. It is a scary and uncertain time.

Then there are my girls... what a motivator to stay positive and be grateful for all we have! I am thankful that we have two wonderful and healthy children and I have a husband who is an inspiration. Samantha just moved up to the "big kids" preschool classroom and she's happy to be with more of her friends! Sofia is talking more and loves to cuddle. Both of them love books and being read to which is a joy for us! Daddy is an all-around good guy with a heart of gold. I couldn't be prouder of all of them!

I even managed to have a true girls night out last weekend. It was long overdue and so much fun! We giggled and shopped (of course, I bought nothing). I discovered I do not like most cocktails, but I can't resist marshmallows and chocolate in any treat! I've missed going out lately and am making an effort to indulge occasionally and take the time! Daddy seemed to enjoy his time with the girls. Sofia was all about him the next morning and wanted nothing to do with me! Sam and I enjoyed ourselves though!
