Romancing the stone...

DISCLOSURE: I received an email containing these words and I liked it. So I copy/pasted these particular lines here in this blog to serve as my personal reminder for certain things... A girl asked a guy if he thought she was pretty, He said. No. She asked him if he would want to be with her forever. And he said no. She then asked him if she were to leave would he cry, and once again he replied with a no. She had heard enough. As she walked away, tears streaming down her face the boy grabbed her arm and said.. You're not pretty you're beautiful.... I don't want to be with you forever, I NEED to be with you forever.. And I wouldn't cry if you walked away...I'd die...

April's challenges

This month has been the busiest so far since this year began. Family visits for a week or more, a wedding to help organize, a house to run, kids to run, dogs to run, and oh, a husband to run :-p Our helper was off for 3 weeks so that explains the house to run part which I really have no problem with given the years in the US and Germany, however, what makes me lose it is all the running around from office, grocery, butchery and other domestic/kids activities that seem to be all happening at once---and I thought I was already an expert with time management *rolls eyes*

Our MIL was here but she first stayed at SIL's place and I wasn't planning on depending on her to take care of my household. She came to visit and deserve to relax. Luckily, I had my niece with us for 10 days and who, despite being a princess in Manila was very much willing to learn and help out with the chores. My daughter was not a problem and I was very proud how responsible she is at 11. Long story short, women power at it's best! Alright, I'll give some credit to A for helping with anything he could despite his stressful weeks of flights to China and the transition to a new job.....but that's another story :-)
