laugh or cry

Elder Neal A Maxwell once said, "We are here in mortality, and the only way to go is through; there isn't any around!" I would add ( Sister Hinckley), the only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache.

My first real post


with some trepidation and with a feeling that i have NO idea what i am doing... i write my first blog post... i think... there might be one other one wondering around out there but i don't know where i left it... i do know where my children are though... please don't ask about the car keys there are only so many things i can keep track of...
today is sunday. my children are sleeping which always gives way for a hip hip hurah! i spoke too soon... i think i hear sound erupting from childrens' chambers :) speaking of
i love my children... it isn't easy being a mom (it is one of the hardest jobs i have ever taken on) but it is very worth it... and it is usually the small things that make it bearable... the way asher will hold me when he wants to be comforted... the way isaac kicks his legs and arms excitedly when he knows i am about to pick him up... the spontaneous i love yous and kisses... the quiet moments of singing my children to sleep while rocking them... and the many many smiles and laughing and giggling... all these and many more make up the measure of being a parent...
i also love those surprising little moments where your children do something particularly talented or intelligent...
well... we are off now to magra and pagra's (grandma and grandpa's... asher couldn't say the words properly when he was young and it just sort of stuck)
