This is a pre-scheduled post, since I am away at my awesome week-long Family Reunion. My parents and all my brothers and sisters do this every other year, and it is AWESOME! We'll be missing a few people this year, but if everyone came it would be my parents, their 8 children and 8 children-in-law (all of us are married) and their 25 grandchildren! That's 43 people, if you DON'T count the 2 'almost' babies...grandchild #26 is due in a few weeks, and #27 is due in a couple months. Both of the preggo mama's are here this week, though. I think our highest count all week will be 36 people, which is still A LOT.
Last week's post was about the ONE person of those 43 who I want to see most - my estranged daughter. If she is here this week, it will be nothing short of a miracle. (real update coming soon with reunion photos....I'll also be tweeting about the reunion, so if you're curious, follow me on twitter @deploymentagain)
So, in honor of my (foolish?) hope for a miracle, my song this week is "When You Believe" from the soundtrack to The Prince of Egypt. I never knew that Michelle Pfeiffer had such a beautiful voice!
I hope your having so much fun at your family reunion!!! I've never had one...well, my grandpa does on his side, but it's in Ohio and I've never been to it. So many family members who I have no idea who they all are!
Thanks for pre-scheduling your linky up! You rock;)
I am a mother of 4 and wife to an AMAZING man. He is a Reserve Marine, which has defined me first and foremost as a MARINE WIFE, even though this is his second job. I'm still learning to live the military lifetsyle, and doubt I can ever learn to LOVE the lifestyle, but it is OURS.
I'm also a child development professional, currently looking for a new job. I love teaching children (especially three-year-olds) and have also enjoyed being an administrator, but it turns out the job I most enjoy is teaching other TEACHERS (go figure!)
I teach workshops to other early childhood types whenever I can - regional and state conferences for various associations, etc. and am considering becoming a college professor for ECE classes.
