Oh my the days are flying by….hard to believe we are nearing the end of the first month in a brand new year. The stores show evidence of this by stalking shelves with big, bright, red stuffed bears, candy hearts, eggs filled with confetti, and baskets stuffed with goodies all nicely saran-wrapped….Valentine’s Day and Easter ALREADY!!! I’m still trying to recover from Christmas….geeze! Lately all I want to do is sleep and sleep and sleep….ha I wish I could do that! Perhaps I allow that thought to entertain my brain a little too much! I guess all the rain these days doesn’t help either. Rain and cold days equals covers and coffee plus a side order of some of my night shows. Peace Out!

You Spin Me Right Round!
Lots to do in 2010, my world will continue to spin, hopefully in a better direction this time around. Not that it wasn’t great, but when there’s spinning there’s bumps in the road almost always! But I will stand firm and remain positive. I have a lot to be thankful for. Solomon, my 6 yr old is in Kung Fu and loves it, its as if his body was created for marital arts. I’ve never seen another kid so focused, regardless of what is going on around the mat. He wants to grow up to be like Bruce Lee with “great power” he says! I can’t wait to see him shine. He went up one belt before the Christmas break, talk about a boost of confidence! OK so I am a little biased, but I’m allowed! I’ll be that mom on the front row with a huge sign saying “that’s my boy!”…and he’ll be like 20 yrs old…lol!
OK so who’s up next on my soap box…yes that would be my lil Benji! Talk about revengeful…since he is the baby he is always up for a fight, this little guy I’m afraid carries more of the Galvan gene in the attitude department! Won’t shut-up, give-up or take NO for an answer without having the last word! He has more of an athlete body frame with the stamina to go along. He tells me, “mama I want to be a baseball player when I grow up”…..although I fear that will slowly progress to a football player. I know that once he gives that sport a try and it’s suddenly OK to yell and ram someone with all his might he’ll say, ” this sport was made for me!” I fear because there’s always gonna be someone bigger and better, & God knows I don’t want my baby placed in harms way! OK so I’m being a helicopter mom (over-protective), but any mama can relate!
And how can I not write about the man in my life, Isaac. He is one hard-working man, who always makes sure the boys and I are comfortable. He makes us laugh all the time, in fact Solomon carries his sense of humor to the T! We are so blessed to have him, he always makes life interesting. God has given him so many skills, I guess he’s a jack of all trades when he puts his mind to it. Well I guess that’s all for now, just had to brag on my awesome family. May you have a blessed day full of laughter

2010!
We have reached a new year and I know that there is more good to come! As I reflect on the previous year, I have to say, “what a blessing it is to have family and friends to share life with, it is amazing!” Life is such a beautiful thing! Sometimes I wish I could shake a person who says that life sux! It is what you make of it, you teach people how to treat you. Get in the race and be the one who stands out amongst the rest! Have you ever seen a race with a person wearing neon green knee-high socks or how about a person wearing a clown wig? They stand out, right? I can’t help but to chuckle when they pass me…well that’s how life should be. Where would I be without laughter in my life…through the good and the bad. Hey if you’re having a “crappy” day, for lack of a better word or more awful word (hehe) shake it off man! We all have bad days that put us in a bad mood, hey I’m guilty of it, but don’t let your husband or children or pets get the repercussion, that’s so not fair! I know the saying all too well, “If mama ain’t happy, ain’t no one happy!” So darn true! And if you’re one of those that can’t seem to shake it off, then word of advise, pray to the Father who will lighten your load, it’s so much more peaceful to not have to carry that load on yourself. And stop with the excuses because they’re irritating! “I can’t, It’s not a good time, that will never happen, when I have more money, when I have more time”….UGH! Let me clue you in on something in case you haven’t figured it out….there will never be a perfect time, because we’ve already established you’ll just come up with another excuse and another and another! If you’re not where you thought you would be today, then you better start working on changing some things today or chances are another day, another month, another year is gonna pass you by. Life doesn’t wait for you to make a decision, it goes on. If you’ve already made your New Year’s Resolutions, then I encourage you to write them down several times and post stickies all over your home, the places you pass the most to serve as a reminder everyday of 2010. If you haven’t done your resolutions then you’re already behind, step on it people…make it your year….make it an awesome year :0
