This is my entry to Techie She’s Lucky Blogger Weekly Giveaways Week 9. This week’s prize is $10 paypal credits from Lainy of Lainy’s Musings.
It’s a Saturday night and it’s raining. Kai and Ziggy are already in bed sleeping while Zoe and Ziya are still in the living room watching TV. It’s already pretty late but I’m letting them sleep late tonight since it’s the weekend. Of course, I am still awake. With all the chores for the day already done, I’ve nothing left to do but go online and try to keep up with what happened to the blogosphere while I was offline for a week. This is usually what our Saturday nights are like. It makes me wonder what other families look like in their homes at night.
On rainy nights such as this, I sometimes can’t help but watch my family as I am pretty much left alone musing about, well, life. Life can be pretty challenging at times and sometimes I can’t help but think about all the things that I still want to improve or change. I guess, sometimes it’s just hard to be satisfied. We’re constantly thinking that we need (or want) more. But on nights like tonight, as I look at Kai and Ziggy sleeping beside each other, I just have a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. As I watch Zoe and Ziya enjoy watching late night TV, I can’t help but feel amazed. This is MY life. It may not be perfect and there may be a lot of ups and downs but I can honestly say that I’m pretty happy about it. I have a hubby who loves me so much and is willing to do everything to keep me happy and to take care of our family. I have two smart, pretty, thoughtful, creative, amazing daughters who have taught me so much about parenthood. I also have one amazing, cute, smart, adorable baby boy who just makes my life complete. It makes me feel all good inside. I am blessed.
Hey! Great blog, I’m a new follower!

I love having these moments where I realize that no matter how imperfect my life is, it’s my life, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. =)
You ARE blessed! I’d give anything to have the life you are living. I’m also separated from my husband, and am presently a single mom to a five year old girl. I have a boyfriend, but it hasn’t gotten to the point of me introducing him to my kid. I hope things turn out for me the way they did for you 🙂
i agree with you Janice, having those times when you’re watching the people you love most sleep peacefully is priceless – the most wonderful scene in the whole world.
love the new look sis. and thanks for joining and always supporting the weekly giveaways. good luck and regards!
