I'm back peeps

Listening to an amazing new band I discovered... there are few things in life better then listening to great music that just fits the mood, the times, the work.
Feeling good.. I'm really learning to look on the bright side of life... Sometimes it gets the better of me, and I find myself engulfed again in the sadness and negativity, but I'm learning some really crucial life skills to deal with everything. The only thing I could never deal with is if something happens to someone in my family. The fear is sometimes very overwhelming, and I have to consciously drag my mind out of the bad place.
I love my family. My kids are ah-mazing - the cuteness is incredible. Sometimes I just have to stare at them open-mouthed in awe of the preciousness, wishing I could express to them and the world how my love-feeling for them feels like it will explode from my throat.

Most recent cuteness from my squirrel boy... we were driving home from school and I was dying of thirst, so I decided to stop at the petrol station to buy some drinks. I explained the whole plan to him - that I would park, race around to get him out of his carseat, and we would quickly get our drinks.. He tried his luck asking for an energade, but I offered him a can of juice, which is a great trick, because it's 100% fizz free fruit juice (the same he drinks out of cartons), but he really acts like he's getting a treat, and takes the can-drinking very seriously. The rest of the way home he slurped away and had a monologue about how he loves the juice, and how he loves purple cans, and then he asked me "Mommy, do you love my flavour?". At just about the same time, we stopped next to some signage with numbers:
Squirrel: Mommy, is that number 1
Me: No, that's a number 2. Maybe later Mommy will teach you some numbers...
Squirrel: Will you show me on skype?

...... Definite open-mouth moment.. my little angel.

Anyway, back to the work load.

I wish you all well :-)
