Inner Peace

Most of my friends know that I am a huge Oprah fan. I took her advice and watched the Dr. Phil show. For those of you who did not get a chance to see the show I just wanted to post and let you know how well his advice worked....


I am passing this on to you because it definitely works and we could all use a little more calmness in our lives. By following simple advice heard on the Dr. Phil show, you too can find inner peace. Dr Phil proclaimed, 'The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started and have never finished.' So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished, and before leaving the house this morning, I finished a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Zinfandel, a bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream, a bottle of Kailua, a package of Oreos, the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake, some Doritos, and a box of chocolates. You have no idea how freaking good I feel right now. Please pass this on to those whomever you think might be in need of inner peace.

Snow Tubing Pictures

The ride to the top of the hill was interesting.

David is ready to go!

You would not believe how much snow one kid can eat.

Snow Tubing

Today we went snow tubing with the Cohen-Cerkovnik family. What a great time. It did not start off as a smooth trip. We had a lot of trouble finding snow boots, gloves, etc. Of course our stuff is still packed away from construction (but that's another story). We went to Ski Liberty. At first it was just flurrying, but then it really started snowing. I can't believe all of the kids went down the hill, I thought for sure out of 5 - 5year olds someone would be scared. Really the funniest part of the day was the ride to the top of the hill. You step onto an incline conveyor belt. I was behind Ben, he wasn't waiting for anyone, he was on a mission to get to the top of the hill. I look behind me and David and Michael are falling down on the conveyor and it doesn't look as if Sharon is doing much better! I was lucky to stay on myself I was laughing so hard.

I was able to take this video of David as we tubed down the hill together. I wish I was able to get one of all the kids, but the snow got so heavy I figured I was in danger of ruining my camera.

Love

Last night David comes and gives me a hug. He said to me "Mommy, I love you so much that it makes me want to cry". He was totally sincere and almost made me cry. .... That was the end of the sincerity...I told Eric what David said so then Michael said the same thing to Eric and I followed by a fake cry, followed by David hugging me and fake crying...this went on the rest of the evening.

My lesson, live in the moment, its fleeting.
