Blender

                                                                   JUST A THOUGHT

                         My friend and I were talking about singing.  I stated, " I am a blender, I can match the lead and blend to their voice, but sometimes it's hard to lead."  My friend's husband piped up and said, you are a Blender.   He didn't mean anything by it, but I can't get it out of my head.
                          Am I a blender, do I listen to others and add to their voice to make it stronger?  Or, am I a Blender, do I pull everything together and spin so fast that I chop it all up.  As you can tell this no longer has anything to do with singing.

Around the Mulberry Bush

So, do you remember the children's rhyme:                             Here we go round the Mulberry Bush the Mulberry Bush the Mulberry Bush.                            Here we go round the Mulberry Bush so early in the morning!! Why do you think we were going around that bush?  As a little child it was fun running around in circles.  It didn't matter that there was no destination.  It didn't matter that we were wasting time.  It didn't matter whether we skipped or ran or slowly made it round that bush.  We were free. As an adult I watch my child skip around the bush and I pat my toe impatiently.  Doesn't he know I have some place to be?  Doesn't he know it's hot and I am just standing h...

Happy Birthday!!

Today is my son's 9th birthday!!  It is very exciting for him.  His bestest friends are coming over, his favorite cake is being served, and the pinata that he made me buy last July is set up and ready to go!!  There are balloons and songs of happiness.  So why do I feel a little sad? I know the obvious reasons.  He is the youngest of my three children.  My journey of motherhood ends with him.  Sure one day it will change into a different type of motherhood, but the my life revolves around needing and loving my mom will end.  He was the last one I taught to walk, potty trained, taught to read, and it is sad to see each phase end knowing that it will never be repeated in this way. I remember the day this little guy was born.  It wasn't completely a happy day either.  We were expecting a 10lb baby to be born on July 19th.  Instead we had a 4lb 3 oz baby born on June 19th.  He was whisked  out of my room and out of my sigh...

17 Years of Motherhood

In three days my oldest son will be 17 years old.  Everyday I seem to be spending a lot of time thinking about this.  Not about how sad I am he's 17.   Just thinking about the fact that, 17 years ago my whole life changed and in those 17 years my whole life has continued to change.  Not sure if it's like this for you, but it's like I suddenly see my life has an equator that was drawn 17 years ago.  It definitely divides my life into before I was a mother and after I was a mother.  I was also thinking about the fact that 17 years ago my dad made a video for Aaron to watch on his 18th birthday.  Wow, I don't know if any of us will be able to do it.  On that video are many people who have left us.  My Grandmother and Grandfather Miller, Mema Jordan, Uncle Gail, Uncle Johnny, Aunt Wanda, I am afraid I have forgotten who else is on their that has passed, it will be a gasping crying fest!! For me my sons birth meant restoration.  He i...
