I have been thinking about my New Year's resolution, and not really coming up with anything. I mean there are the usual things: get rid of the fatness, clutter, and foul f-ing language. However, a friend of mine recently shared a tragedy with me that brought everything back into focus. I want to squeeze as much life out of my day as humanly possible. I want to enjoy all the things that encompass having kids: the smiles, the high blood pressure, the laughter, the noise, the locking myself in the bathroom, and yes even the bickering. I can enjoy all that while being chubby and messy. I mean I can always loose weight and clean; however, the kids will not always be here under my roof, wanting to hang out with me. So that is it. I am going to revel in the craziness that is my life.

And then you are old! Life hasn't passed you by, but you could see it's ass as it sped toward the horizon!
Life is always an adventure my young friend, but the life you lead is one to be envied. Life, with all its trials is the only real legacy we pass on.
Be cool sister, you are a mom, a wife, and someone's very best friend.
we love you kiddo, just as you are and as you will be.
Kelley, AMEN, sister. AMEN. btw, is that Larry guy related to you? :-) Howdy Larry!!
