When The Answer Is No


My wish for my sister did not come true.
Tears have been shed.
At times like this they begin to flow freely again.
I know she is hurting.
She has loved this beautiful baby.
We all have.
I know that my sister would not have changed a thing.
She has given this little girl a wonderful start.
Hope.
Love.
Stability.
Belonging.
Boundaries.
Family.
This is what we all desire in life.
My sister is a hero.
My sister is my hero.
The tears will stop ........

My Wish


I have a wish.
It's a simple wish.
It involves a little girl and an amazing family who love her dearly.
I will know on Tuesday if my wish for them comes true or not.
My prayers are with you Toad.

Christmas Party 70's Style

Friday was my annual work Christmas party. This year we had a theme. "Christmas Disco Bash." With that in mind I have included pictures for your viewing pleasure......feel free to laugh. I did!


#2 son, Me, Hubby (#1 son had something "better" to do)


There were competitions...


(I missed it by THAT much!)


Hubby & I doing "The Bump" & we won this competition. Best 70's couple!

We had skits......

Happy Anniversary!


I can't believe it! We were married in Mesa, AZ 23 years ago. In the years since that day on Oct 10th I have marveled at how in all this time, he still loves me. He is quite the catch (as some were quick to point out early on).


So, why would he choose me? Well why not? We make each other laugh. We understand each other's humor. We have similar interests. We compliment each other. He is strong where I am weak and I am strong where he is weak. We love each other. He is HOT! He has an AWESOME smile. Ok, I tease about the smile! But that's what we do, we tease! We joke, we try not to take things too seriously, because frankly our life has been far too serious at times. We have made sacrifices for our boys. And with these trials and sacrifices our love for each other has grown stronger and deeper.


I married my best friend. It doesn't get any better than that!

Dear Me


Dear Me,

(Ummmm, why are you still reading? This is for me...ahem... )

Ok, I think they are gone, so, I have some questions to ask if you don't mind. You don't have to answer if you don't want to, but these questions have been on my mind for a while.

1. Why is it that I have a headache every single Sunday? (Ok, I have a headache every day of the week, but on Sunday they are just out of control.)

2. Why are teeth the first thing I look at when I meet someone?

3. Why is there an otter pop stain on my keyboard when there is no food allowed at the computer?

4. Why do I find it so hard to be motivated to do something on the weekend when I can work my butt off all week long?

5. Who shot the sheriff?

6. How did I end up with such a nice guy as a husband?

7. Why are you still reading this? (Not me, you!)

Love Me.
PS, If you (yes you) figure out some of the answers, please let me in on them! Thanks!
