Hiatus but Im back

 Its been so long since I have posted much about anything let alone about organization. I was putting my efforts into cleaning and cooking and taking care of my family. I am so excited to start my journey again with blogging and to touch bases with so many people in this great world we live in. I personally wouldnt know what to do without reading some of my favorite blogs. Today is a milestone and a new chapter in my life and I am thrilled to share it.

                                             Have a joyful day

&

have partnered up to help children read efficiently before they finish the third grade!!






AND...

Guess what??





You can help to....All you have to do is take the pledge!!





This is the actual pledge:

I pledge to make time for reading with the children in my life—whether it's the morning paper, a bedtime story or as a volunteer—because reading puts kids on the path to graduation.

Now that's not so hard is it??

https://reading.target.com/pledge/



So now I'm going to wait right here for a couple of minutes while you go take 'the pledge'

I don't want you to forget the link or anything like that.

And we all know how procrastination works...yeah, yeah, I'll get to that later....

and then...well let's face it, sometimes we never get around to it !!

And I think that this is just to IMPORTANT to put off !!

Go ahead...I'll still be here :)



Ok, so now that we've all taken 'the pledge' let's talk about what we should do next...



If you don't have your own children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, friends' children, etc...

you could always volunteer to read to children that you might now know.

And volunteering (well there's another thing that just really makes you feel good!!)

is not only rewarding to you, but there are so many kids who would benefit from it.



If you can't think of anywhere to volunteer on your own,

you can always check out

VolunteerMatch.org









I sure hope that everyone reads this post and is encouraged not only to

take 'the pledge' but also to pass the word on to others.

I hope that if you have a blog, you will blog about this !!

I hope that you will post about this on facebook, and twitter, and every other

social networking site that you belong to.

I hope that you will tell all of your friends about this !!

I hope that you will share this with EVERYONE you know !!

My Mommy!!

Today was a hard day and yet a very uplifting day....it all started when I got this (please would someone smack the sense into me idea of getting a job) well I applied for a job on Monday and of course Tuesday morning I was called and within an hour was asked to come for my first interview which I did so he tells me to come back this morning for my second interview which I did but I had to find a babysitter for the boys and take the girls off to school first which I did...Well my mom works nights so I had to wake her up take her the boys which she already had a headache from work and drop them off!
