Mothers Day

Well Mothers Day has brought a lot of feelings into my mind.  First of all I am so thankfull for my own mother and all the the sacrifices she has made throught the years on my behalf.  My mother has been there through all the good times, the sad times and the happy times.  She is the person that picked me up off the ground at the lowest point in my life.
Next, I am so thankfull to be a parent myself.  I have the two best children on the planet.  My girls have been the reason for me to  get up in the morning on days I found myself not wanting to.  For mothers day we have a tradition....we go and stay in Salt Lake and do the Mothers Day brunch at either the Little
America or Grand America Hotel.  What is better than spending time with your kids on Mothers Day?

The Moon

I have to admit that there is something very comforting in looking at the moon every night.  I think it is the one thing that connects me to Mark no matter where he is.  The one thing I know for certain is that I know that my husband is looking at the same moon that I look at.  I have been having a really hard time since he left in January.  I feel really down and sad all the time...which by the way is really hard for me to admit.  I have always tried to keep in control and on top of everything.  But lately I feel like I am trying to keep on top of way to much between work and school and the girls.  The one thing that is really hard for me is to admit that I cannot do it all.  One step at a time right???
