This is part of my amazing family! Who without I would be nothing. My sisters and mother.
"The Love of a Family is Life's Greatest Blessing"
Here's to the ones who have seen all of you. From the pictures in the bathtub to our first bridal shower. This is God's way of saying you don't have to do it alone. From all the laughter to saddness to anger to woe. They have seen it all and they will see the rest. You have your family so don't waste it. Don't blow it. Yet even when you blow it the wounds can be mended that is what the great blessing of family really is.

Rude Awakening.

Another night of tossing and turning.....one would hope to find a least a little peace by morning like usual....but as one comes to discover the forces of nature decide to keep Erin awake longer and simply irritate her. Irritation number one sleep has been hard to come by. Irritation number two her mind won't calm down enough to rest itself when one would wish it would. Irritation number three the warmth of a nice comfortable bed fails to arrive. Irritation number four I can't seem to quench my thirst resulting in a trip out to the kitchen to get a drink of water.
A journey that leads to irritation number Five. It has annoying little buzzing wings, six legs, black, with those nasty little eyeballs that give them the appearance of having a kitchen mesh straner over each eye, and huge. My friend the Fly. As I return from my venture to my bed in hopes it will be more welcoming this time around I am followed by a buzzing insect of unending annoyance. As I try to ignore it at first it decides to become very friendly resulting in another trip out of bed to the kitchen hoping the annoying thing will follow to the other room. This tatic seemed to work as I returned to my room again the buzzing failed to cease.......I again went out of my room only to be followed to the hall...kitchen...living room.....bedroom again....finally I put on my glasses turn on the light and grab the convienently placed sauce pan sitting on the chair to my vanity........I proceed to patiently wait to the sucker to land...I soon discover he is a particular pesky one. I return to the kitchen and sure enough my faithful friend the fly proceeds to follow and give me no end.....I ran back to my room and slamed the door...at last I have escaped my annoying friendglance at the clock to discover a beautiful time of 6 am in the morning I continue to my bed hoping it will be much happier to see me this time. Two mintures into my attempted sleep I am greeted by a buzzing.......I try to ignore it....he will have none of that he comes up to snuggle and that's it.....I jump out fo bed put on my glasses turn on the lights to my bedroom, living room, and kitchen and I grab the June Ensign with no mercy. I wait for my attacked to come.....with little wait he joins me shortly and the big sucker I come to learn suffers from ADHD and finds difficultly settling in one spot for more than a moment if he settles at all......becoming a rather annoying and challenging oponent....to no avail I wait and smack.....wait and smack.....wait and smack....chase it to another room wait and snack....hoping my dear roommates do not awaken to an entertaining morning show. As I yet again fail to successfully smack that little insect I turn to my blog and.............smack.........


To be continued.......maybe
