Realization

Ive have come to the realization that I'm going to need to take a trip WITHOUT my kids sometime soon, probably this summer? Ive brought them to PA this Spring Break & last Spring Break, they end up by the end of the week fighting and picking silly things to fight over. If I can work it out to come back to PA either next Spring Break or sometime in the Summer, I'm definitely NOT bringing them. We've had fun while we've been here, but with kids it just changes things, they each have their reasons why it's ok why they were arguing.
There are just so many changes going on with all the kids, some because of age, some are almost ready for college, some because of lack of consideration of others, some because I honestly have NO CLUE why, and now with working a job outside the home for a year now, and kids activities at school, insanity hits regularly! It's just alot of Stress to deal with.
I know people say enjoy this time it only last for a bit, but some days Im ready for it to be fast forwarded, like some of this week & even some of this time of their lives.
Hopefully when we get home & back to reality, things will calm down. Key word is "Hopefully". Don't get me wrong, God has Blessed me with so many wonderful people in my life- Family, Close Friends, Newly found friends (from work), and so many more & I appreciate you (if any of you that I mentioned are reading this?) and Thank God for you!
Please, keep me & my family in your prayers, sometimes the day to day struggles become more then we can bear and we don't see the end.
Thanks for listening to my venting.
Have a Great end of your week & a Nice Weekend.

Spring Break

The main reason I'm writing this blog is because I check Maria's and I keep noticing how much further down her list I get, so I feel I need to update it.
Right now we're in PA for the week visiting friends.
We did however recently have two birthdays.


Sophia turned 12 on March 20th. She's crazy about Jack Sparrow & Pirates of the Caribbean


Frank turned 15 on Sunday March 15th, he has been asking for a Sword from his Dad, so he got his wish.
Here they are putting on a good show for the camera.
