This is a song by FRANCESCA BATTISTELLI.
It is called "This Is The Stuff"

Here are the lyrics:
I lost my keys in the great unknown
And call me please 'Cuz I can't find my phone

This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff that's getting to me lately
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
It might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use

45 in a 35
Sirens and fines while I'm running behind
Whoa

This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff that's getting to me lately
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
It might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use

So break me of impatience
Conquer my frustrations
I've got a new appreciation
It's not the end of the world
Oh Oh Oh

This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff
Someone save me
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
And I've gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
It might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use

Oh Oh Oh Oh
This is the stuff You use

I really identified with these lyrics. This songs helps keeps thing in perspective and it's a catchy little tune. I hope it makes you smile today. 

Props to Shiela for sharing that song with me.  :) 

A Little Encouragement

Most women struggle with loosing weight.

I never had to until this last year or two.

Chalk it up to getting older, body changes, medication...who knows.

All I know is, my jeans don't fit anymore.

I found this great website that is an encouragement to me.

Let's face it, we all need a little encouraging from time to time.

Maybe it will help you too.

Happy Tuesday to all.

Tired...

Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, I want to say I am still very tired from it all. I'm not sure if it was all the eating or just the long weekend but it feels like I need a very long nap. I didn't go out shopping on the dreaded Friday as I call it but I somehow stayed busy all weekend. I am looking forward to going home and doing nothing but watching TV. No work, no children to tend to and thinking of nothing sounds like a really good idea. The problem with that is I'm not sure when I can do that. My plate seems to be too busy for that sort of thing right now. If I'm going to make it though the week I better get some rest.... Here's to Thanksgiving and the wonderful Holiday it is. I hope you enjoyed it because I did.

Things heard over the weekend

35 year old: “Hey that’s cool!”
11 year old: “What is that?”
35 year old: “A vinyl.”
11 year old: “What is that?”
35 year old: “You know, a record?”
11 year old: “Oh.” (still having no clue what it is)

About Twilight from my 11 year old... “That was my favorite movie…before I had even seen it!”

“Hi Mommy! I’m done!” ...as I go in to help my 2 yr old off the potty and find all of the Charmin rolled off into the floor.

“There’s Santa! Can we go see him?” ...as a very excited 3 yr old jumps up and down with the biggest smile on her face.

The Beginning

This is where my blogging begins. I suppose I should begin to tell you what this blog is about. I will be adding new things here from time to time about my life. My life includes the new and exciting everyday things through the eyes of a 2 year old and 3 year old and the adventures of the tween life that my 11 year old has. I also will share with you my love for trying to cook as you see I don’t always get that right, my struggles with being creative and coming up with new ideas, my love to paint and sewing new things and just my life in general. Nothing exciting but somehow it all thrills me.
