Birth

I really REALLY wanted to be back for Leah's birthday...And I sit here thinking about the day she was born and how I screamed in the operating room while my sister in law came down the hallway only to turn abruptly around and walk out the door...and SWORE she would NEVER have a child, EVER!!! My dad came to be there as well, and I remember him telling me that when leah was born there was the most beautiful sunrise he has ever seen!! Living in a very flat area at the time, there is nothing like those type of sun rises in the spring!  Holding you, my dear Leah, so cute little, cute and serine, I could not longer see any one or anything in the room, just your cute little face...the one I love and the one that has made me proud and happy to be a mom. Happy Birthday my honey, We will celebrate again when xxhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_eruptions_of_Eyjafjallaj%C3%B6kull stops her tantrums:)

You try to pronounce it!!

What is one to feel when a natural disaster thwarts best laid plans?? Living In England as long as I have, there is a saying and it has stuck with me, simple but effective, "Just get on with it". I am sad and it's frustrating and you can go on and on about all the things you are feeling and how you're stuck in this city, this airport or having to stay an extra day with in laws but the outcome is the same, the Volcano Eyjafjallokull is what it is and NO BODY can go anywhere so just chill out and enjoy this time, at the least you can have a few extra days with loved ones or a nice sea side picnic at the stranded destination and think about something else for a change...but No, humans are a weird bunch and i say this with a warm heart and smile at the same time, I can't say I'm any different, but i certainly would enjoy what extra time was given to me to just relax. The weirdness about this whole thing was in my gut I knew something was going to happen the night before...not TO me but something to keep me from getting to my destination...It's not something I can easily explain, it is more like a feeling of NOT being able to see myself with my kids atm...yes i know it's pretty weird, but those of you who know me well know that I'm not making this up. And so here I sit for another week, decided to let the lovely Eyjafjallokull spew out her frustration upon us all, but come Saturday, she better had "gotten on with it" and stop because it's been time to go home!!!!! :)
