Alone the pieces of our family are only ordinary people. Together as one we are Extraordinary.

First Day of School!
I can not believe that I am the mother of a Kindergartener. But none the less it is the truth. She is so big and I am so proud of her. She went straight in and settled into her desk for the day. The best news is that we did not have any tears! (from either child or mom!)
Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking outside your body. How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.
If we don't stand up for children, then we don't stand for much.
I am a woman, a coworker, a wife, but first and formost I am a MOM!
At work, I think of the children I have left at home. At home, I think of the children I've left at work. Such a struggle is unleashed within myself. My heart is rent.
