I am often Distracted! I am wife, mother, employe, teacher in training, sister, daughter, friend, supporter, life long learner, blog reader and now a blog writer to name just a few things... I mean even just now while I am trying to writer this post Lady Bug (aka Our 1 year old daughter) has distracted me with her desire to drink from my water bottle, almost falling off the bed in her attempt to connivence me she MUST have said water bottle, she then did her famous throw her body onto my arm and face so that I would have to stop typing and pay attention to her.. I have taught her to use some basic signs, "Please, eat, milk, thank you" she can also shake her head yes and no appropriately. Let me remind you that said child is just 13 months old lol and has been able to communicator her basic needs for the past 4+ months. It helps immensely but she can be a distraction lol. She is only 1 and her needs when they occur to her need immediate attention in her mind. 

I am often distracted by my own thoughts. I mean I do juggle Many things like most folks, and what should be a down town is often only a way for my thoughts to run rapid without the distractions of the rest of the day. 

I have found that as I look though my marriage experiences, hind site is 20/20, and I can see how I became distracted with life, anger, opinions of others, hurts, disappointments, delays, frustrations, regrets. Some how those distractions and many many more obscured my first goal which was to love my husband and protect and nature our marriage. 

A distraction can lead to a delay or even a derailment.. But I know that I have the desire to succeed. I am not disillusioned I am DETERMINED!!
