Amy from DandelionSeeds has asked us to

CELEBRATE THE LIFE OF MISSEY GRAY
AND JOIN US IN A MOTHER'S T.R.E.K.
MONDAY, MARCH 13TH!

What does T.R.E.K Stand for and why are we doing this?

T.R.E.K. Is Totally Random Events with Kids.

You can read all about it here.

And as much as I don't like to think about it...  you just cannot avoid it. What if today was your last? There is a country song I love that is called "Live Like You Were Dying" And the part that sticks out to me is the part about Loveing like you never loved before...

What about in the car today? Alyssa wanted to play Littlefoot for the 10 millionth time. I had had enough and just flat out refused to play "just one more time!" Aurgh... is it really that bad? The joy she gets from playing Littlefoot. Is it that hard of a task? Sure it annoys me beyond belief... but what if me refusing to play this morning is the last thing she remembers....

Did I kiss them enough or hug them long enough?

Something silly my mother made up with Alyssa is "It is Kiss Alyssa day!" And we all tackle her with a thousand kisses. Or whomevers lucky day it is that day. Have there been enough kiss Alyssa days? What about my little man? Tristan?

Was the arguement Dh and I had this morning really necessary. Well I say yes... but... Why do we keep at it? Should I try harder... What if I never have the chance to be with him again.

So Monday, March 13th Can I take some time to just bless my kids. The homeschoolers here are taking days off. But myself I plan to take a day on. My daughter cherishes anything "school" I do with her. Since we have not officially started yet. Can I take time to do something special for my family. Can I try to let them think of me with a smile instead of a scowel. (dh loosing the watp dvd had alyssa asking me - mommy - why is your face like that!) opps...

Take the challenge.
