What will you think of in your last days?

I had an epiphany this morning.  Sorting through my grandmother's jewelery (that passed away in 2003) that my mom just recently gave to me, I found a purple watch.  This watch, for someone reason, was what my grandmother was thinking of in her last days- she wanted me to go over to house and see if I wanted it.  I was a punk, and I should have just said I loved it and gone up to the hospital wearing it- but, I didn't want more "stuff".  Well, it's finally with me now.  I do love this watch for that reason, and now that I've matured, I won't be a punk.  I think I'll wear it today in her memory.  I love her and I miss her. As endearing and sentimental as that is, it made me think more about what we focus on and think of in our last days of this life- if we even have such an opportunity.

I want to be thinking of ideas, passing on knowledge, I want to be making sure my children and grandchildren are living their life well, dreaming, and doing everything they dreamed of in this life.  I want to remind them of the hereafter.  This means, I better get to work learning and doing those things I want to pass on.

The organizer is coming. the organizer is coming...

Two months have passed since my last post.  Things have changed.  We are pregnant with our third babe and due in late December.  I'm no longer applying to the MSW programs.  I'm an official SAHM.  I will embrace this.

Meanwhile, I am freaking out and my three year old is freaking out.  She wants everything... her bop, her blankee, to go nigh-nigh.  I'm really mad  Yes, mad, irritated.  She's doing power struggles.  Do this, do that, get it for me, I can't do it. ARRR.  The other little angel (for real) is sleeping... Gabriella is so appropriate for her name.  Jules is standing next to me, crying, screaming, " I want my bop".  At least she's wiping her nose by herself.  Wait, now, she wants me to wipe it.

Anyway, the point of coming here is, I suppose when I start feel the organization kick coming on.  I'm hiring a professional organizer and she is coming May 29th in two weeks from yesterday.
