Soulful Saturdays

Sitting on my couch with so much to do, but not getting anything done of course has my mind wandering to the time when Jessica moves on to college.  I know you are getting sick of me talking about this here, but this was my primary motivation for starting my mommy blog...... That being said, here is a quote that moved me to tears today (it doesn't take much these days):

"A child enters your home and for the next twenty years makes so much noise you can hardly stand it. The child departs, leaving the house so silent you think you are going mad." ~ John Andrew Holmes Some days are just going to be better than others.......

I won the Ultimate Movie Night give-a-way over at www.gourmetmomonthego.com!  I am so excited to receive all of the goodies, including the new Flip camera!  I can't wait till my girls get home to tell them we are having a free movie night!  I love it.

Woe is Me Wednesdays

Yesterday Jessica had her senior breakfast, which only means that the end of senior year is getting close and I will have to come to terms with having a freshman in college.  I really don't know how I am going to get through the next few months watching her move forward (even though I know it is a good thing).  Let's see what this week in our lives brings........
