Journal:  1- Today and everyday I wake up at 6:15 A.M.  I drive my kids to school, then I pick up at noon and take them to the art classes and the other activities.
2- I enjoy a good cup of coffee at the same time I read my newspaper, check my blog and my friends blogs.  Then I prepare to work.

Today and everyday I give Thanks to God because I have a Beautiful Family.  A supportive and lovely husband, two healthy and good kids.  An unconditional mother and father, a lovely sister and a good brother.   I'm not rich but I have the most valuable treasure....
