A favorite poem...

Stopping by the woods on a snowy evening- by Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

MONDAY, FUNDAY....

It is yet another Monday! Grayson had preschool this morning and we had to drop Wall-E, one of our cats off at the vet. Poor guy had to get some shots and nuetered. Grayson cried when we left! I think he thought we were giving him away. Then of course I started crying because I cry at everything, included jiffy peanut butter commercials!

Came home with Emma then Anabell showed up not long after, ( a friends daughter that I am now watching during the week). We went to Grayson at preschool around 11:30. Grayson learns so much and really enjoys learning. I am so proud of him! He can write his own name, I am pretty sure that when I was three, I didnt even know how to count to twenty let alone write my own name!

I start school again tomorrow with University of Phoenix Online. I have a math class, thank God its only going to last 5 weeks! I will just be thankful when I am finished completely! It has been a slow process but I know what I want to do and I am determined to finish. I also want to show my kiddos that education is very important in todays society. I will be the first in my family to get a college degree and that means more to me than anything.

I have to go pick up Wall-E soon from the vet, they said everything went great! Overall, it has been a pretty good day!

In memory of Martin Luther King Jr.:

Ordinarily, a person leaving a courtroom with a conviction behind him would wear a somber face. But I left with a smile. I knew that I was a convicted criminal, but I was proud of my crime. ~Martin Luther King, Jr., March 22, 1956

IT'S OFFICIAL!!!

It is official I finally am starting to "BLOG" somewhere else besides myspace or Facebook! I think I may enjoy sharing the daily expected and unexpected activities that go on in the Sargent household. I enjoy writing so I am sure I will love blogging on here!

It is 11:30pm on a Saturday night and I am on here! I am so young but feel so old sometimes. The kids are in bed and Josh is watching the movie, "INGLORIOUS BASTARDS". The house is peaceful and I should be sleeping but cannot seem to keep my eyes closed. It has been about two months (tomorrow) since my mother passed away from Metatstatic Colon Cancer. It is a struggle every day, to not feel pain or sadness. I miss her so much. She was both my parents growing up. My mom played such an important part of my life. It hurts me the most to know that Emma never got the chance to know her. Here is a list of the things I loved about my mom:

1.She NEVER judged you.
2.She loved unconditionally, it didn't matter what you said or did.
3.She always made you laugh, whatever the situation.
4.My mom was kind to every person she came in contact with.
5.She had a heart of GOLD.
6.She was so stubborn it made you laugh.
7.She loved her children more than herself or anything else.
8.Mom never belittled you, she picked you up when you were down.
9.She was a positive person
10.She loved giving away hugs, even to complete strangers.

"What do I do with what I need to say, So much I wanna tell you everyday, Oh it breaks my heart, I cry these tears in the dark, I write these letters to you, but they get lost in the blue, 'cause there's no address in the stars"

I miss you so much mom!
