So I am developing my personal brand. I am trying to decide what I am most passionate about. So far my top three are:
1. My Kids/being a mom
2. My Beliefs
3. ????
SO I am not sure which way to go. I need to pick one thing and go with it. So any ideas people may have can be useful.
My kids: I read a really great book this afternoon about being a great mom. Not about being a perfect mom but a great one. I learned some great tips for example that enjoying the journey is so important. I mean my kids say and do things all the time that I laugh at or find amusing. This book suggested writing those happenings into a notebook to share with the children when they are older. For example:
The other day my son Matt(5) and I were waiting at my other daughters school in the office for her. THere was a notice that had two stop signs on it. One had the word spelt in english and the other one had the word spelt in Spanish. matt was quite distressed that they had spelt Stop wrong. He patiently showed me which letters were correct and proudly told me which letter they were missing or had wrong. I just smiled as I explained the difference of language to him. He still didn't really get it but I was aboe to see the world through his eyes. I love it because sometimes he just hugs me and says.."Thanks mom, I love you."
I will write about my other passion tomorrow and then maybe we can have a vote.

Hey there
So I know it has been a month since I posted last and so much has happened.
I have found my self going in different directions than I had planned on some working out others not so much. I applied for a lead position at TSA so maybe I will get that we shall see.
I fell a week ago and had to face the reality that I am getting older and do not recover quite so quickly. Luckily nothing too serious..scrapes and bruised knees. I just have to be more careful.
The kids are doing great but on Wednesday night they all decided to get the stomach flu at the same time. That was so horrible. One sick is bad but all four was crazy.
The school year is winding down and yet Teresa figured out a way to get a D- on her report card in social studies because she didn't do any work. Of course I went crazy because the teacher didn't tell me that Teresa was not turning in her work. I have a conference this afternoon. Hopefully the teacher has a good explanation for how this happened(besides Teresa's laziness).
Matt has moved forward but will be ina special day 1st grade because he cannot handle a regular class without an aide. hopefully we can eventually get there but for now we just want him to be happy and successful.
Alicia loves her preschool. She goes three morning a week and has a great time socializing with other children her age.
Allison is looking forward to OCHSA and I think that is all that gets her through each day at the school she goes to know. I like to refer to it as a prison but...that is a story for another day.
My life I feel is like a rollercoaster. I wish it was a tame one but alas it is a wild ride most days. Maybe someday it will settle down.
That's all for now I will post more frequently, now that I am not in training anymore and just back to being an awesome mom.
