"Yeah, about that....."

Did I say once a week? I meant once a month, to start of course. And pictures in two weeks? I meant two months. So glad I cleared that up, whew! Don't want to set the bar to high right off the bat.
So what's been going on this last month you ask. Let's just say that I've had better times. Rough start to the new year to say the least. Oh well, it's all about attitude and perspective right? Right.... Self reflection amidst moments of personal crises can bring to light unwanted reality. Go way light, go away light! Ignorance is bliss so they say and while I would agree with that train of thought regarding some issues I have to say that knowledge, self awareness and just plain ol' understanding is a much better way to live.... even if it hurts at first.

Funny story: went to the park with the boys the other day, ran around playing tag. It's so hard to play two different ways at the same time. I have to slow down and pretend not to be fast so as not to catch the little one in about 3 seconds all the while pretending to be fast enough to catch up with the older one. To look as though I pose and actual threat knowing full well that he can out run even my best attempts. Anyway, standing in line at the drinking fountain and Kobe is standing with both hands on his hips and with one hip jutting out to the side. There's already a kid taking his sweet time drinking up what I'm sure is the very last of the water supply for the city of Alpharetta. Finally my sweet loving four year old can't take it anymore so he shouts out, "Hurry up kid, I'm thirsty!" Although I should have taken the moment to educate him on such things as social grace all I could do is laugh. I love that kid! While at times it can be problematic, he is never afraid to say what's on his mind. So as he takes his time drinking the water I stood behind him with my two cents, "Hurry up kid, I'm thirsty!" :)
