Just want to be...

I just want to be free

Fly over the winds

Burst through the clouds

Wide open the blinds

Break out of the doubts

I just want to be free

Swing over and high

Run around the trees

Let out a sigh

Grasp what the mind sees

I just want to be free

Bounce over the bumps

Bound around the fields

Pull out of the dumps

Tears wash my eye lids

I just want to be free

Swim across the river

Jump over the rocks

Feel the cold and shiver

Let go of the blocks

I just want to be free

See the highs of the high

See the lows of the low

Push the sorrows go by

Winds of joy let blow

I just want to be happy.

Valentine's day for Me

Valentine's day for me is hanging out at home with hubby and the kids.
Valentine's day for me is cooking something special for dinner.
Valentine's day for me is baking a cake with little M and helping her decorate it with red hearts.
Valentine's day for me is getting coached by M on how to sing Happy Valentine's day to you.(In the happy bday to you tune)
Valentine's day for me is seeing M and S cut the cake together while we all sing.
Valentine's day for me is seeing baby S make a grab for the cake before we can stop her.
Valentine's day for me is having a nice cozy pasta dinner at our little table.
Valentine's day for me is the four of us having a big group hug before we kiss each other good night.
Its not about the flowers and the chocolates, but those are always welcome too!!

Because...

Conversation in the car, after i picked M up from school.
Me: How was your day honey?
M: Good. I had fun.
Me: What did you do at school today?
M: nothing
Me: oh!

After some thought....
M: Mamma, today we were not in outback class, we were in seaturtles class.
(Their pre-school classes have names such as outbacks, sea turtles etc)
Me: Oh, how come?
M: yes, beacuse outbacks was closed, so we were in sea turtles.
Me: oh, why was outbacks closed?
M: because we were in sea turtles!
Me: But, why were u in sea turtles and not in your own class?
M: Because my class was closed mamma.
Me: yes, honey, but why was it closed?
M: because it was not open!!!

Alright fine, i give up then!!
