i had a little bit of free time this morning, so i decided to sit on pinterest for a bit. came across a "if i were rich.." board. i got so sucked into the fancy cars, the dresses, the houses & floor plans (oh my heavens.) (not so much the jewelry - always been a little too gawdy for me), and then when i saw a huge walk-in closet, that was larger than our living/dining room/kitchen here, i remembered how much i don't want all this. i want a large house for a large family, but i don't want everything in it to be used with caution, or to be very expensive. i've always wanted a lot of money, but not to spend it on me. i want to spend it on others. i want to start scholarships. i want to change people's lives by donating money and things they need but can't afford.
i found this video about homelessness and i started crying while watching it. it really hit me that that's what i want to do with my life. every person has a story, whether they have a house or not. i cannot wait to get started with that chapter of my life eventually (: check out the video! http://clearmindz.blogspot.mx/2014/09/homeless-people-were-asked-to-write.html?m=1
today, while i was sitting down in the patio with the children, i really felt like this is where i'm meant to be right now. i had one kid sitting in my lap, one on either side of me because they were cold, and i couldn't think of anywhere else i'd rather be. (thinking about it now, maybe on a date with brett eldredge, but still, maybe not.)
tomorrow is valentine's day, and i'm so excited to hang out with my boys and go to the dance with them (: i can't wait to watch them put way too much gel in their hair, and try to look all cool for the girls (they're all about 10 years old). i really feel like a mom, and i love every second of it (:
time to sleep! (:
