Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

I don’t often feel overwhelmed with mommy stuff, but I have a feeling this week is the beginning of things to come. Monday is now Math Pentathlon day at the boys’ school. Tuesday and Wednesday are Tae Kwon Do days. Thursday is piano lesson day. And Fridays are always half days. I should consider myself lucky that my boys are the same age and are involved in the same activities. I don’t know how mothers with children in lots of different activities manage it all.
I filled out a form the other day that asked, “Do you work?” to which I heartly replied, “YES!” Good lord, I work harder now that I ever have before, even back in the good ole days when I had a fulltime job, a parttime job, and I was taking two night classes. (Hard to imagine, I know.)
It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
