When we decided to get new furniture I thought it would be a good idea if I put the beds up for sale on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Craigslist</span>.....I have never done that before but know a few people who have both bought and sold from there.....Within 24hrs of listing them I had someone very interested in the loft bed but she had to make arrangements to borrow a bigger car to come and pick it up. She told me she would touch base on Sept 2 and let me know when she was coming and that her son (3yrs old) was so excited about getting a new bed!!!
<br />
<br />At 11:45am today I received an email from her that said, " I am so sorry to tell you but I can not buy your loft bed anymore, last weekend my entire house and most of my things were destroyed by hurricane Irene. I am now trying to find a place for my boys ( age 2 and 3) and I to live. Thank you for understanding!"
<br />
<br />I could not believe that she took the time to email me after all of the devastation she had just gone through and she thanked me for understanding. I felt terrible about this and all I could think of was how she said last week how excited her son was about this bed. I emailed her back and told her how sorry I was for all of her losses and I understood completely. She emailed me back and said "when she gets on her feet if the bed had not been sold she would try and still buy it."
<br />
<br />My heart was broken for her and her boys and I got a strong sense of just how lucky I am.....here I am complaining about silly things and this women and her boys lost everything!!! I emailed her back and asked her if I could help her by giving her BOTH beds for free. She quickly responded that I did not have to be so generous considering I do not even know her.......I told her I DID need to be that generous and to let me know as soon as she finds another place to live I will bring over both beds to her boys!!
<br />
<br />WOW just look how lucky I am!!!

<br />
<br />We are in the grocery store and he is not having a fabulous time not to mention we have only been there 10 minutes. I try to get him as involved as possible allowing him to brain storm on what we could make with what we put in our cart......I also do a lot of explaining on why I do not allow him to eat or drink certain things....we try very hard here to be as sugar free as possible and to eat as organically as <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">feasible</span>...So here is the scenario.....I had just told him that I think things like potato chips and juice are for special parties and that too much of those things are not good for your body or your brain it slows them both down. Now along comes a women with a cart with chips,soda and candy in it (she had other food) and just as she is pushing by Michael says....." Look at that party lady mommy she has so much of "that" stuff in her cart I bet I can run faster and read better than her, "and why is she wearing sneakers her body is going to be slow to run!!!"
<br />
<br />Once again thank you Michael for making me look like a nut case!!!

<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">OK so some of you may know that I utterly enjoy exercise in any and all form...I have been known to go to the gym two sometimes 3 times a day if I am preparing for a race BUT in the past month I have hit what I call a exercise brick wall and I am not sure why. It is a chore for me to go everyday and I have been racking my brain trying to figure out why and the only thing I can come up with is that my routine is a bit out of wack with the kids being home, vacation and all the confusion of whatever the summer brings. So thanks to my friends who are crazy as I am I will push through this brick wall and come out a head!! I would like to share with all of you some of my favorite motivational quotes!!! Wish me luck as I through myself completely once again back into my routine!!!
<br />
<br /></span></span><h6 style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);" class="uiStreamMessage"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span class="messageBody">Somehow it happened. Hard to say when. But one look in the mirror and it was obvious. Life had caught up to you. So you did the only thing any self-respecting adult could do. You ran away. Only this time it worked. And the farther you ran, the better it worked. So you've never stopped running. And you've never seen that person in your mirror again. </span></span></h6><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Nothing lifts me out of a bad mood better than a hard workout on my treadmill. It never fails. To us, exercise is nothing short of a miracle.

He asked everyone "do you know what or where this came from?" Here are the following answers he received:
<br />ME: " I have no idea."
<br />KEAGAN: " ripped part of a ball"
<br />MICHAEL: "the wing of a organic red bird"
<br />
<br />Needless to say.....Keagan once again knew the answer!

<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">As many of you know last Saturday we brought my oldest son to college. Looking back to last year at this time, I was very excited for what was ahead of him....we had a great time researching and visiting colleges through out the summer and fall of 2010. I think I was as nervous as Daniel each and every time he had to audition. You see not only did Daniel have to apply to these colleges but because of his major (musical theater) he had to audition. The end result out of the nine colleges he applied to eight accepted him and all with scholarships! You can imagine the pride and excitement I felt as a mom. But one year later my pride is still here 100% but now my excitement has turned into sadness....not for him but for me!(selfish I know)
<br />So the day came on Saturday Aug.27,2011 that we packed him up and sent him down to the big scary New York City. Of course to add to my mental state or lack of we were driving down in the middle of the Northeast first potential hurricane in many many years. I had decided that I was not even going to try and be strong so from the minute my feet hit the ground that day the tears began to fall. The move in was extremely smooth and quite organized, we put all of his stuff away and I made his bed (of course the entire time trying to convince him it would be a great idea for me to stay awhile) As we said our goodbyes I just wanted him to know just how incredibly proud his father and I were of him and that there was no doubt in our minds that he would be a huge success and continue to make us proud. As we walked out his door I had a great idea I would inadvertently leave my purse behind so that I would have to go back to get it....what you should know is that when Daniel was a little boy anytime I would leave the house he would ask me to leave my purse so that he knew I would be back soon! In all of the commotion I forgot to leave it and next thing I knew me and my purse were on the elevator! As we drove the three hours home in the pouring rain and heavy winds I reflected on a lot and asked myself these questions.....Did I give him the skills to make it on his own? Did I forget to tell him and does he know just how much I love him? Would he know that no matter what I would always be there for him? So many people have told me in the past three days what a great, well rounded, grounded man Daniel has become. Thanks to everyone who has helped me work through these past couple of days and I now know that Daniel is as awesome as I think he is and that he will do great. I will not lie there is still a great deal of sadness knowing that he is not tucked in his bed at the end of the hall every night BUT I also have that excitement back that I had last year in what the future will hold for him!!

<br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">I had started a blog a while back and kept it going for quite awhile until life took over and I never had any time (which really means we became a family of 6.) Now in those two short years our lives have changed so much that I feel I would be doing people a disservice by not letting them back into our lives (LOL) Well honestly it was this or a reality show. So I hope to be able to keep the blog up this time and we hope that our family can share some laughs, love and smiles to you all!</span></span>
