{excuses} #sol17

_____________________________________________________

 And just like that three weeks fly by without writing a slice.
But I have excuses:

 My brain is full and ready to share what's on my mind ... just not here.

 Many changes happening in my district ... that I'm not ready to share.

 New position on the horizon ... but I'm not sure yet.

 My girls turned SEVEN ... and I still cannot believe it.

 Kid parties, family parties ... oh, thank you cards to help write.

 The every day to do list ... that never (ever!) gets shorter.

 I know excuses shouldn't really matter.
So I'm back to writing a slice today.

    The balance of life is never easy. Just remember to enjoy those special moments with the girls as they will pass by way too quickly. Hugs, Mom

    Sometimes I share when I haven't fully formed a thought. (Read yesterday's nightmare) LOL It's funny. It was easier for me to post when I did it every day. I am thinking about making myself a schedule and also prewriting and holding them in my drive or in my wordpress drafts. It's ok to lapse, just don't let yourself quit. (I say for both of us)

    Seven!? Can't be. They were just babies. Happy Birthday to your sweet girls! New position - you make me curious. As for writing - well done for finding the vwords and time to write. I have lost my spark a bit.

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-in-the-blank with any other
