School time

So its Back-To-School time already.
Where did the Summer go?
I haven't finished my Summer to do list yet.

It really seems a lot shorter this year.
I think the high heat keep us in most days and
stole our Summer Vacation.

So now everyone is thinking toward school clothes, back packs,
and school supplies.

Here in Missouri this weekend is the tax free weekend.
That signals the end of staying up late for the kiddos and early
morning wake ups.

Hope you all enjoy the last week or two with your kids on break.

Be YoU, Be What Is True

I may have written about this before.
But it is something that I have an issue with.
I do not like to see women lose them selves when they get a new man.
Now that I am thinking about it, I am realizing that they probably do not know who they are to begin with.

I very much don't like to see a woman give up her path, her dreams, and what she wanted.
Only to blindly follow the ways of her new man.

I see it too often.
We fought for our rights to be equal and to do what our heart desires.

The man for you will bring out the best parts of you.
He will encourage you to strive, to be more and do more if it's what you want.
He will complement you, not take away from you.

Don't give up nursing to become a mechanic, don't become all about horses and forget to live your life.
Don't give up on your dreams of school and settle for the job you have now when you want do much more.

Let your man be him.
And you be you.

Have your dreams, your hopes, your likes or dislikes.
Be your own person and he will love you more because YOU are what attracted him in the first place.

Just remember ladies that the woman inside you is who you are meant to be.
If you deny her, one day all that you have built on this mountain of fake, following, behavior will crumble.

The foundation of a real relationship, a true relationship that has lasting power is built upon TRUTH.

If you share interests that's wonderful!
Don't be fake to keep him though.
If he is meant to stay, to love you, he will. Period.

Bachelorette Emily

So this is a house wife blog and the stereotype house wife loves tv. Well I love tv anyway! Haha

So what did you think of the Bachelorette the men tell all last night?
I laughed and laughed.

Emily has two men left Arie and Jeff I always thought Arie would be her pick from their first date.

After her comment last night about being attracted to tattooed homeless looking guys, I'm leaning toward Jeff. Haha

I really believed that Shaun was the guy for her. She sat and cried and cried after he left. How many times does that happen?

So which guy would you have chosen/do choose for Emily?

Compelling vision

My director with Thirty One has given me homework this week to come up with my compelling vision.
I created one that is about traveling with my family to Europe some day.
I did not have anything great for today's blog so I thought I would share my photo with all of you.

Kindred

So I am still reading Steven Tyler's book.
Still loving it.
The picture he paints with his words grab me.
I laugh till I cry, my heart fills with memories
of how I sounded just like him in my younger days.
He is, as I, a poet at heart.
An artist in all rights.
I never would have guessed
that I would feel kindred to a Rock Star of all people.

I usually devour a book, this one is taking me a bit longer with
summer and the kiddo out of school.

Like last night when Zach and I stayed up late and watched
Wild America.

If you are a fan of Aerosmith I recommend this book.
