CUTE (the main website is awesome as well)! Which I found in the comments from My Little Mochi!

I should know better than getting caught on bloglines- today there was a lot of 'good stuff'!

I will be updating my Flickr with some pictures of my {Book of Dreams}....I'm frustrated with it..not the ideas behind it, but the actual work I do on it- feels like a elementary school project..I have all my ideas behind it, but it all comes out differently. This is part of the growth in a new project I know-ESPECIALLY of a project like this that is very foreign to me. Am I proving to myself that I fight change..I fight when there is too much freedom...or perhaps that this project is bringing up some feelings I haven't dealt with. In the beginning I thought of this to be a positive project, but it's going another direction. I'm letting it go that way... perhaps it needs to....

Now to my original thought for posting today. Please read gently as there is no point to it-just a personal observance that is affecting me at the moment...

Moving Trucks... I'm learning another reason not to live in military housing ever again! A series of conversations with my daughter concerning some personal stuff and then a poem found in my boys notebook....  all centers around the core thing in our family life- 'moving'.  First ,the grass is always greener on the other side. I know there are many that only wish they could have moved as a child. My children do not know anything else BUT....moving. We are talking about a daughter that will be 14 this month and son will be 10 this summer....they are not babies or toddlers with limited memories. Ok, I keep feeling there are things I need to 'say first'-   our commitment to something that is core to us (husband and wife) and I'm thankful for what it will provide as retirement immediately after the date of-I feel for those struggling with civilian companies that you even question will be around by the time a person CAN retire...or if your not let go first. The culture of our working environment very much concerns me in this country as a whole! Days of companies honoring their committed employees are over-not it's just the lining of pockets of the 'big wigs'-can save on paying out retirement bennies-cheaper to hire a new graduate in the guise of 'downsizing' 'cutting costs' 'restructuring'. ANYWAY, I didn't mean to get that serious about this, but... yes, moving is part of our life whether it's easy or not in order for us to fulfill what we need to fulfill....now back down to the emotional level of this all. Moving trucks. Living in a civilian community brings structure ....you are in a community that is diverse. Some stay/some leave, but here?.........everyone will leave at some point. Whether you know the people or not....there is a DAILY if not ONCE A WEEK reminder around every corner!....just putting something 'on paper' for myself. Moving Trucks...should I have waited for 'M' week?

Speaking of letters...who won the "I" contest? Leave a comment if you know!

..now to update my pics with Flickr on my side bar!

...to capture the 'gold' outline just tickled me!

It has to be hard on your daughter moving at this age...14...It is the age when you really want to fit in and you start having crushes....

I love your Golden...what a beauty.
