I Don't Know...and for once I am fine with that

I do not know what the year 2007 holds for me. I like to plan and know things. After last year, I learned that YOU can not plan your life. You can try, but God will do His Will no matter what you try to do. 2006 certainly did not go down the way *I* planned. No where near it. As a matter of fact, I do not think one thing *I* planned for in the year 2006 came to be.

I know that 2007 holds my ten year wedding anniversary. I know it means my kids will be turning three and seven. I know that Mark will finally join me in the thirties. I know that the sun will rise every morning and set every night. Other than that, I know very little else about how this year will unfold. And for once I am okay with that.

So much can happen and change in even a month, I can not imagine what is in store for TWELVE months. I look forward to it. All of it. Good and bad. Easy and difficult. Fun and sad.

As Mark said a couple weeks ago, any year spent with him and the kids can not be a bad year. (only he said he would never say a year spent with me and the kids was a bad year.) All I know is that I will press on, not matter what comes our way.

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show.  I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless.  I read anyway.  Spoilers? Not bothered.   Let me give some back story here.   At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine.  Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar.  I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly.  I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper.  I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing.  Who knew?  This fu...

Why Choose It?

Judy posted a comment about being jealous at two weekends away from the kids. About how she figured it would be a long time before she got that chance. I have to admit, I thought better her than me to have the new baby. After our two weekends away and Mark joking that it was his ploy to convince me to not have anymore, I have to say.....I think it worked. After thinking about it and being able to get away so easily because the kids are bigger, I could not help but think, why go back and do it all again? If you had a choice between going out of town for the weekend or being stuck, tied down to a newborn who was feeding from your breasts every two hours and waking every three ,which would you choose? To which one might say why ever have kids at all.....fine. I have TWO. I have done it TWICE. Not only that, but for anyone who cares about it, I have one of each. One is almost seven, the other almost three. Granted Davis is not potty trained yet, but he does change his own diaper sometimes...
