CAN I ?.. A MOTHER'S THOUGHTS.
Sometimes my ability to do things amazes me. Sometimes I wonder can I do this? Seeing the smiles on my family's faces gives me strength. Sometimes the weight of the world pulls me back down. Thoughts overcrowd my mind. Wondering how my parents would have handled it. Do I make my family proud? Is there more that I can do, or am I doing too much? Is everyone safe? Did I do what I was supposed to do today? and the one that wins them all, the question of the day. What's for dinner?

BEING A '90S KID
Does anyone else remember the days when mud pies were a thing? When you could play outside all night as long as you stayed in the light and in the distance where you could hear your mother call when dinner was ready. When you didnt need a pool to get wet, just a water hose a hole in the ground, and you can dry as long as you keep playing in the sun. Not to mention getting hurt was a huge secret or you would be called stupid for doing whatever it was you were doing and you better have learned.

RETURN OF THE NIGHT OWL
RETURN OF THE NIGHT OWL Winters chill roamed the room. The softness of my blue fleece blanket wrapped my body and I refuse to get out of bed, thinking to myself, I have exactly thirty minutes before the sun comes up and I have to get out the door into the freezing snow, And to school I could hear the commotion downstairs as everyone was running around trying to make it to school on time. I'm always the last one. School is six miles away so there's no need to rush. Finally the courage to place my feet onto the ice frozen floor boards I could see my breath as I yawned. Frightened by a loud bang on my window. I jumped. Paused in confusion I tip toed over to look out. There's nothing but a brown barn owl.
