Thanks, Kristen

Okay, I'm going to make a bigger effort. Thanks for harassing me yet again, Kristen. Working on the blog has been one of the best things I have done in a long time. I had to have Hannah help me ( of, course) to fix things, and the kids and I ended up laughing and dancing to my new playlist. Great fun! I haven't even looked at their blogs, let alone everyone else's for ages. Hannah took pictures of pictures from her scrapbook, Kathryn spells like my mom, and Megan talks as much about other people as her self. Charlie likes dancing to the Barenaked Ladies. Who knew?

Last night, I decided it was time to stop hoping for my perfect life, and realize that I have it. I am so blessed. I get to spend all morning with a happy, smiling baby. I get to go to a job I love, and I only have to go for four hours, so I can still be a mom. And, my sister watches my baby for a pittance. My children WANT to help fix dinner, and they ENJOY washing walls. My husband does his own ironing, and most of the laundry. I can afford to buy chocolate. I've got friends and family who care about me enough to want to read what I think on this silly blog. My day has been so much better for my decision last night.
