Undeniable Power

Much as some of us fight it, our parents have a mystical hold over us, the power to affect our thoughts and emotions the way only they can. It's a bond that changes over time, but doesn't diminish, even if they're half a world away, or in another world entirely. It's a power we never fully understand. We're left only to wonder that when our time comes, what kind of hold will we have on our children?

Who am I NOW?

So, I'm pretty sure I am a loner.  As I get older, I not only like time alone... I search for it.  I like the quiet and peacefulness of it.  Weird....because I miss the hecticness (if that is a word) of a daycare and of kids running in and out of my house, and I think I genuinely WANT to WANT to have that, but somehow, the older I get the more I enjoy the quiet.  It's hard to except change in things, but even harder to except when it is occurring within your personality.  I have always been a people person... but I seem to enjoy it better in small doses.   Maybe it is an age thing... maybe it is a "stage" I am going through.  But I am ready to know exactly who I am again cause it is stressing me out!

Snap out of it!!!

Things aren’t always going to be fair in the real world. That’s just the way it is. But for the most part, you get what you give. Rest of your life is being shaped right now. With the dreams you chase….The choices you make….and the person you decide to be. The rest of your life is a long time. And the rest of your life starts right now.

Matthew's Birthday

Matthew is my youngest and he turned 16 today.  I remember him wanting cake and mayonaisse for his birthday and being 2!!!!!  Was that really 14 years ago?!?!?  WOW... time just flys!  We went to the cheesecake factory and had his birthday supper after we shopped at Verizon and the mall.  We were tired... but this was worth the wait!
