Life, it happens and so the circle of life continues. My first blog. |

Children, friends, aquaintance's, Children, husband, brothers, Children, sisters, cousins, Children, aunts, uncles, mom, dad, inlaw's, Oh Yeah, did I mention Children? Seven to be exact. I am the blessed mother. Not thee blessed mother, but I remember in my young life, raised Catholic, I wanted to be like the blessed mother, Mary. I ended up being more like the woman in the shoe who had so many children she didn't know what to do. Well, maybe I did know at times, but I sure needed a lot of help. Come to think of it, I had four miscarriages so eleven would have been the number. Heaven only knows what that would of looked like. It's all water over the bridge or dam or where ever the water feels like going. My life certainly hasn't been boring. Just when the season of it is getting easier, kids are grown, all but two live away from home. The married ones decided to procreate. Yep, the children's children have entered into the picture. Three to be exact with two more on the way. Oh what fun, I get to play patty cake again and again. Change more diapers, at least they are throw aways, and be called granny, mommom, grandmom, nanny or whatever suits the little darlings. What has brought on this circle of life, you may ask? Well, the year before, I was minding my own business, yeah I know my children are my business, thinking life is good. Three of them decided to get engaged. Now what are the odds of that happening, If you know, let me in on it. I can hear Forrest Gump and his infamous statement. Life is like a box of chocolate you never know what you're going to get. I should of just ate a piece of ex-lax at least I would of known that outcome. All kidding aside, my three lovely children, along with their fiances decided to get married in the same year. I suddenly wanted to be Rip Van Winkle and go to sleep for twenty years, but thats another story. The father of the bride movie ain't got anything on me. I was mother of the bride twice over and mother of the groom. April, August and September were rockin months for our family. Speaking of rocks, Maria and Dan were the first to get married, in April. Their wedding was in Arizona at Montezuma's Well National Park. Surrounded by desert and rocks, there was a beautiful oasis right in the middle of the park. Plants, grass and a small running stream accented the place and something I never saw before, Cottonwood trees. It was such a splendid sight, the cotton fell from the trees as the wedding took place, flowing softly in the air on the lovely couple and the guests. Now that memory will be a keeper. The other two weddings were just as lovely in their own way and made this momma very happy. Oh, there were times when I had senior moments and I got the wedding plans and the bridal showers mixed up. My daughter in law kellie, helped with keeping my head on straight when my brain connectors got somewhat confused. So , it's a wonderful life, love that movie too, even though I know I will be baby sitting for the rest of it, I truly love my children and their children and so on. I must say, I am fruitful and multiplying. That should make God happy. He's the one who started it. I just came along for the ride. lol lidi -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
