Moment of truth...

  • if you saw your problems in a pile with everyone elses you would probably grab yours back.
  • all that really matters is that you loved
  • growing old beats the alternative--dying young
  • your kids get only one childhood.
  • forgive
  • frame every so called disaster with these words "in 5 years will this matter?"
  • no one is in charge of your happiness except you.
  • get rid of anything that isnt beautiful, useful or brings you joy.
  • Dont compare your life to others, you have no idea what their journey is all about.
  • its ok to let your kids see you cry.
  • Make peace with your past so it doesn't screw up the present.
  • Your job won't take care of you when you are sick; but your family will, keep in touch!
  • Just keep taking that next small step.
  • Life isn't fair, but it's still good!

Happy Thanks-birthday














November 26...My birthday, and also every few years it is also Thanksgiving...:) talk about a super good Birthday dinner!!!


We had a great day, I woke up and made 2 pumpkin Pies, and 30 deviled eggs, got ready, got the kids ready, and headed to town to meet the fam for thanksgiving at 12:30. Lunch was delicious as always (one thing I can definately say about my family...they sure can cook!) Then we all played UNO and PHASE 10 until bedtime.


Funny it really wasn't anything exciting, special, or out of the ordinary, but it really is nice just to hit home base once in a while and have good quality family time, and I don't mean JUST mom and dad, I mean the whole fam! No stress, no worries, just good plain loving caring family. I had a blast, it was a great birthday AND thanksgiving! plus I got a TON of "happy birthday's" on my facebook, man I really didn't know I had that many people who gave a crap about me...maybe I should start being more thankful for the people I have in my life.
