The boy I sleep next too....
Who knew it would be so sweet to have a baby sleep next to you in bed. They are so sweet and innocent and can do no wrong at this point in time. Even with last nights tossing and turning and kicking me and morning in his sleep, it was still so very sweet, and I would let him do it again.
Its fun in the early mornings, he sits there and talks to me, and then will finally say "Tariku!? Get up!??" Then I say yes and we go bounding down the stairs and gather breakfast together. Anthony is like me and is NOT a morning person, so we leave him in the bed sleeping. I dont blame him. I have learn to be a morning person with this fellow.
But, we are all happy as clams. No one has had a break down yet. Its a normal day here and we are getting through the week just fine. Everyone returns home Monday the 13th!! Lots of prayers are needed now and the time ahead!!!

Here we go, ONE MORE TIME!
And they are off!! Tomorrow that is, to Africa, this time, everyone but the boys are going. Im excited about it just being me and the boys, a hand full, but a joy, BONDING TIME!!
I feel like I just returned from a trip (Which is true) And I am turning around and leaving again. My car is still packed, never brought the suitcase in, why? When you know its going right back out the door. I tore my room apart trying to get it organized better, its not finished, so it will sit that way for the week, or I will bring the boys over and make them help me. That will be entertaining, a two year old and a five year old helping with my disaster of a room? Nah, I'll just leave it. Nothing would get done, we would just end up in the middle of the room playing with something instead. Because lord knows, Im still a kid!
I am really looking forward to tomorrow! Time spent with my parents, the boys, and my aunt, and whom ever else might show up. Lots of food, ribs, chicken, and side dishes, and deserts galore!! HOPEFULLY Leftovers for me to bring home. I wasnt going to bring anything, but I have decided I will make mac and cheese from scratch and mushrooms and peppers for dad as well. Since he LOVES them.
The trip to Atlanta was great, time away from home is always good. It makes you realize how much you love your family, and how you need them in your life no matter where you are in the world. I come from a huge family, and we are all in the same area, I may not see the cousins and aunts and uncles very much, but when you are away from home, you think about them more. I started getting text from cousins asking when I was going to be home and if we could spend some time together. I guess I was truly missed.....haha, it was nice, and I look forward to girl cousins night! (Yes we have those)
Close knit family!! The ties are strong, the bond is even stronger!
Anyways, I have the month at home! No Atlanta (Which I am rather happy for) I spent a lot of time there since before May, and now I need some time here. I dont think I have had a weekend with my family or really with my friends since G-burg. I have been on the boat with the family ONCE since it was put in the water. And I miss Sunday family dinners. (Im venting) So, four weekends at home! WAHOO!!!
Live On Stage is a go again this year. Im looking forward to seeing everyone for the big conference, and working again. Year 5 I think this makes.
Ok, kids want to go swimming, so to the pool with us!
Happy Fourth Of July America!!!!!!

Away, away we go, time away from home.
Well, I did it, almost. I chose to spend my time while the G's were on vacation away from home for two weeks. No parents, no friends that I have known and counted on most of my life, just me, new kids, and new friends, that I love dearly and have gotten the chance to know even better. So this was my two weeks, to see what it would be like to live away from my comfort zone, my support group, my everything.
I have been a busy bee. Seeing knew things, trying knew things, going knew places, and SITTING in traffic that you think you will NEVER see home again because you have not moved an inch for over an hour. (Where do these people come from?) Traffic here is its own post. :-) I have spent tons of time with Alison W. Whom I have grown so very fond of. She is an awesome person all around. and SMART! Im excited she will be coming to visit in July!
I love Atlanta, I would move here and live and work. Would I do it at this point in my life, I would LOVE to, but I, by all means, am not ready for that leap of faith. Since probably day 4 I have had one image in my head, and that image just plays over and over again. Work! (At home) I ave enjoyed watching Kass's kids, they are sweet kids, and we have had a blast roaming around Atlanta, but I miss my kids back home. I realized today, that I just don't work for the G's, I made them part of my family. When you have known people for what? four years? I believe, you pretty much are family. I know their every move, and MOOD. I know how to comfort, and scold, I know how to play and yell, and play some more. And those hugs I get when I walk in that front door, BOY do I MISS those!!!!
I keep thinking to myself, "Sarah, there is going to come a day, when you are not needed anymore" But that's not anytime soon (I HOPE) After two weeks, I realize I know where I am suppose to be, and what I am suppose to be doing (somewhat, not fully) right now. And that's being at home, and with my family and with the G's. I still look forward to my weekends spent here in Atlanta, but Home is where my heart is still. I will have the whole month of July in Nashville, no Atlanta that month. I have decided with the time at the G's I will spend, and needing family time, that a month off will be good. I have spent just about every weekend down here for over two months. Its time to go home!

A friend posted this as his status. This is Obama's favorite Past President.....Perhaps he should do some research on what they had to say........
"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves." Abraham Lincoln

Blog?
Im not doing so well with keeping up with my blog at all! I should get back on the band wagon now that it is summer and I have a little bit more free time. Writing for me is a release! I hate doing it, but I like it at the same time.
I have been out of town every weekend. Its been crazy! But I love going all over the place! Im not ready to settle down, so this is a great way to just be free yet not getting to far.
Anyways, Im waiting on Daniel to return so we can head back to Atlanta for the evening and tomorrow. I will hopefully have a nice long "What have you been doing" Post soon!
