sleepless in snowflake...
last night was one of those restless, sleepless nights. i think my mind could never shut off, knee was killing me and it was too cold. so i tried to recover by getting in a nap today. don't know about you but, i can never seem to get them in. always way to much to do. i am typing this as i wait for my family to return from a football game. we are driving 3 hours tonight to go to a family function tomorrow for my husband's sister. i thought i would quickly write a few lines to get my writing in for the day. i will be gone for the weekend but, i am going to try to post. lots on my mind that i would like to write about, just don't have the time. night

Sleepless in Mapleton... WOW... this Oma woke up at 3:30 in the morning and couldn't sleep but the good news is.... I had the one available computer in the house all to MYSELF!!! Connie, I am so delighted to get a chance to get caught up on your blog. I truly was brought to tears when I sat down at the computer and your your beautiful face appeared along with 'OUR SONG'. I couldn't even begin to read any words from any days missed because the tears were falling so quickly down my cheecks... You and me against the world... You can count on me to stay - and I always will be by you side or in your heart, but as the song says ... when one of us is gone---we'll have our memories to get us through --- it's you and me against the world...
"When one of us is left to carry on, remembering will have to do" ... (Remembering thru our scrapbooks, our journeling and now this blog and OUR SONG - this song.)
The little girl and mommy at the end saying... I love you, Mommy; I love you, too, Baby. Just like we did when you were little, as you were growing up and as we still do now, WOW! That says it all right there for me. Thank you. Such a nice present to me and what a wonderful, warm hug you gave me.
Connie, your blog has truly been an AmaZing Journey, not just for you as you have said in your words, but for many others. I, too, thank Rhonna, for helping you, with this step in your life and being an inspiration for you. I can see through you writings you have gained so much and in turn you have inspired others through your 21 day journey. As Confucius said, "A journey of a long distance begins with a first step." You have taken yours.
Each of us in life has many decisions to make that can be only ours to make and we will make the choice that is best for us. I can tell from your writing that deciding to work outside the home or not is a very difficult one for you. I loved reading of your joy in being a mother to your children and having the opportunity to attend their activities and help them with things they need during and after school, attending their games and seeing all their things they do during their day. Yes, the day is hectic but I can tell you, as a mother of grown children and now grandchildren, life passes all too quickly and they only get to be children for a little while. So the old saying as true as it is I wish I would have applied it more--- dust and cobwebs do keep for I'm playing with my babies and babies don't keep. You are a very good mother and I know you are making the choices in your life that you think are best for you and that your loved ones. I belive you are a wise woman and will make the best choice. I also understand, as you said, that at times working outside the home is unfortunately something that is necessary. Only you and your husband can make the choice that is best for your family and children. I have faith in you. After all, you are my daughter. I am proud of you and I love you, baby. You go, Girl!.
Wow, I was moved to tears by your Mom's comments... Is that how it's supposed to be? Either way, A saying comes to mind.... Something about apples not falling too far from trees.... Birds of a feather.... Two of a kind. You both have inspired me and I am a Dad. Thank you both!
