Im Back!

a whole summer has passed and ive neglected this blog of mine!! oops! well im back and still intend to update every now and then...hopefully as the inspiration hits or when i feel like documenting something. Sometimes i just use this blog as a family record and since the days of personal "pen and notebook" journalling are long gone due to the TIME it takes to do!!....at least i can do it online and since im a pretty fast typer it works for me! well supper needs to be prepped so im signing off for now.

No ordinary work done by a man is either as hard or as responsible as the work of a woman who is bringing up a family of small children; for upon her time and strength demands are made not only every hour of the day but often every hour of the night. She may have to get up night after night to take care of a sick child, and yet must by day continue to do all her household duties well; and if the family means are scant she must usually enjoy even her rare holidays taking her whole brood of children with her. The birth pangs make all men the debtors of all women! Above all our sympathy and regard are due to the struggling wives among those whom Abraham Lincoln called the plain people, and whom he so loved
and trusted; for the lives of these women are often led on the lonely heights of quiet, self-sacrificing heroism."~ Teddy
Roosevelt, 1905
