Hero

Rachel is my hero. Not only is she the perfect mom (one Patrick should have had), but she also is the perfect blogger! She is always updating it telling the world about her life. Well I love it because it is like I get an insight of her life. What she is doing, what is new, and how she feels and all of this with out talking to her! So, I am going to try to be a good blogger.


I wish I could have a computer that types my thoughts out while I am driving. I have been doing a lot of commuting and the thoughts that come on a long drive by yourself!

Let me tell you about my weekend. It was supposed to be a nice slow weekend. I must have been crazy to think that would happen. I came into town Thursday to shop for Bingo prizes (I had a budget of $1000) for our picnic. Then I had to be in Pocatello to meet with ID labor and commerce with my supervisor and then rush back to IF to pick up t-shirts for the picnic. In all of this crazy madness I drove by a wreck on the freeway. All through out the day I was going a million miles per hour, speeding as I went and irritated that I had to go to Pocatello. Well this wreck, it brought traffic to a complete stop (unusual in ID) and when I passed it humbled me. The SUV was blue, but looked brown because it had rolled so many times. The windshield was broken and the side windows broken out and the car was laying on it side. It appeared that nobody was hurt too badly. It was a very somber image.
So it made me think, is everything really that urgent that I cannot slow down? I speed everywhere I go, I never have time to stop and hug my loved ones, and am always so busy....
But would it really hurt me to slow down? So this weekend, even though I had other obligations, I made sure to do something with Matt that he loves. I made sure to give him a little more attention and a few more hugs. If Patrick were here I would do the same for him.
So the moral.......
Slow down, smell the roses and dance for a little while.
