While the Cat's Away, the Mice Will Play...

Casey has been gone for a few days now... he left us for a conference. When someone has been married for a while they tend to forget what is like to be single. I, for example forget how hard it is to be a single parent. When there is no one in our corner like a team of wrestlers someone there to tap your hand when we are in need.... It can be so overwhelming.
For example...
I had to get up already while typing this post because Mia decided to play in the toilet with a washcloth to bathe the cat.
So...
1 hour later I am back... Of course after bathing her, the cat and the bathroom floor.

Yesterday we had a ...Oh so quiet... Oh so still... moment around the house. Knowing my kids so well I grabbed the camera and tiptoed to my room ... My finding? She had taken all my glitter makeup and she wore it proudly. So I took pictures.
Because after 20 years of motherhood that is the most sound advice I can give...
Keep record of everything just in case your memory fails you...

There's something else I know quite well. That is the city where I reside. Today my city spoke to me. It said: Even though you know it's not easy to pack a car, pack the kids and face traffic please visit the heart of your city.
So I did...

Savannah's City Fountains are dressed in green for St. Patty's.

The weather 79 degrees of clear blue skies and all the Azaleas are in full bloom. Walking through Forsyth Park which I consider to be Savannah's heart and the center of our downtown district it's magical.

Mia and Friend.


The artists creating beautiful pieces... The flowers... The live oaks with Spanish moss dripping off each branch.
It makes me feel at home.

Balancing act

No longer emotionally homeless I embrace the city where I witnessed the birth of my two daughters. Both of my girls are Savanniahns born and will be raised here. I can't imagine a more beautiful and enchanting place to be.

So if you are unfulfilled in a town lacking beauty and culture...
May I recommend... Savannah, GA.

The husband comes home tomorrow and his birthday is tomorrow as well. I will be celebrating his birthday with more intents and purpose. I am forever grateful of the father, the husband and the friend he is.

From beautiful Savannah...
