Yes, I am totally going to mention this website-- Smart Buy Sunglasses -- just so I can be entered to win a pair of gucci sunglasses.  I am totally not above this.  Free is free...right?

BE

Quiet.
Right now it's about as quiet as it can be in my house.  Two kids gone to friends' houses, one in the backyard playing in the kiddie pool with a buddy, the baby is asleep.

I can hear laughter from the yard.  And occassional calls for more snacks.  Then more yells and laughter as their rumbly bellies are forgotten in a moment of merriment. 

The baby is squawking from her room.  PLEASE go back to sleep!  She needs to sleep long and hard.  She missed her morning naps and her nights are all messed up right now.  I guess even at 10 months she knows that life is turned topsy turvey when school is let out for the summer. 

I took a moment to lie on the couch and close my eyes.  When I opened them I thought to myself:

I spend good deal of my life working to "look the part."  At church.  Or with friends. 

I want to BE not just LOOK.

 I don't do it conciously to deceive.  I think it's part of our society.  Shine eveything up so it looks pretty no matter what it going on underneath. 

But that isn't real.  I want to be real.  I want to actually BE faithful and spiritual.  I want to actually BE healthy and confident.

Well, the quiet moment is past.  There are children that need me to BE mommy.
