Good Morning Ladies!  It’s a great morning to grab a warm cup of coffee or tea. The clouds are looming, the temp is near 70 and the ground is wet with the rain from last night!

I hope this week has been a great one for you all.  Mine was up and down and generally like a roller coaster!  I had a nice weekend, dinner with adults time with “the girls” and time with the family!  Podcasts, swim lessons, piano lessons, play auditions, and I even managed to get my own haircut!  Whew, I’m tired just writing this. LOL.  With DH out of town for a few days I was in charge of dropping DD off at school. I’m not a walking her into her class mom, I’m a drop of in the parent drive up line mom!  I don’t think DD likes that very much but I am what I am.  At least we still keep a normal schedule when Daddy is out of town.

Today is a day of remembrance.  I’m trying to be in that frame of mind.  I pray for the friends and families of our lost ones.

I hope you all have a great week and I’ll be pursuing all of you Company Girl’s blogs!

Hello Company Girls! MuMo Dawn here – I am so glad to be able to visit with you all this week! Last week the family and I met up with my inlaws for a short family vacation.  I thought I would have internet access (I mean, are there really places without it??) but was sadly mistaken! Talk about serious withdrawal! I think I broke out in “no internet access” hives! Lol! Anyway, we had 4 days of family together-ness, including good scenery, nice weather and even better coffee.  Normally I make good coffee at home, but due to my enforced “cheapness” I make it really weak.  My father in law however, makes strong, awesome coffee, and between him, myself and my sister in law – coffee was at times the main focus of the day.  It was so nice to pour a good strong cup and take it out on the back deck and listen to the river flow just off in the distance.

It was a lovely vacation, but I am so glad to be back at home.  I am back at work this week – editing images, placing orders and planning for the holiday rush of photo sessions. I hope it is a busy holiday season for me.  The past couple of days with the boys have been rough.  We’ve had lots of fighting, messes and lots of time outs, and I am sad to say I have hollered a lot more than I like to.  But today, in remembering the events that occurred 8 years ago, I am thankful for the baby who refuses to nap; thankful for the peed on clothes to wash and the dog puke to clean up off the floor.  Because, I am so blessed to have these “difficulties” in my life, and I know how easily and quickly it can all be taken away.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.  I wish you well. Thanks for stopping by!
