dear family

Ever since I got home from Thailand I have kind of felt like that little girl- too tired to watch the top stop spinning because it just keeps going and going. Sure, this is a furniture wax advertisment- just bare with me for the analogy...I'll continute.

I'm the sleeping little girl and the top is my life. It just won't stop spinning. It is so hard to stay on top of everything that is happening and everything that I want to happen. More often then not I find myself just wishing that the top would stop spinning and I'd find myself in the Land of Smiles. Things were pretty finate and full of structure there. I liked that. I felt so fulfilled.

Sometimes the top does stop and I actually get to wake up. It stoped last weekend when I got to cuddle with Eden and Oakley and this weekend when Abby got to introduce me to her little sister, Mina. It also stops when I get to giggle on the phone with Eve, or hear about the happenings of the Workmans. Sometimes it stops when Bunny tires to rub her dreds in my face (only sometimes) or when Nunu cuddles me like I'm a man and we talk about shopping. It just stopped earlier this afternoon when I gave Serinda a hug goodbye. Once it stopped when I got to bark like a dog for mom and then when I ran Saturday errands with Dad. Or that one time when Anders ate all my cheese- it definitley stopped that day.

So I guess that it is better for everything to stop when I'm with my family, because honestly- if it actually does stop in Thailand I'll be real fat again, red in the face 24/7, and have to eat questionable food. Not to undermind my mission because I did love it and it's a special part of me- I just have to say that I am so greatful for my family and the things that really matter. When my life doesn't feel crazy and overwheleming, I am glad it is with you.
