That's All We Need
One of my friends just sent me an e-mail with the photo above. The idea makes me laugh as long as it isn't my kid. My mom & dad band us from drinking anything with caffeine in it when we were young. I'm pretty sure I was over the age of 12 before I did. My brother has the same rule for his 4 little ones. It just seems to make family life easier, but I doubt I'll have so many kids to make it necessary.
There are so many crazy things happening around me. I have one friend who is debating whether or not to get divorced. I get a daily update on her decision, which keeps changing. In this case, I can see reasons for both arguments, but in the end I think it comes down to the fact that she loves him. He hasn't done anything particularly wrong, but sometimes women just want more. I think the secret to happiness just might be the ability to be content with what you have. Unfortunately, that is something most women will never achieve. If it is not one thing, it is another. I have a long list of things I believe will make my life better. Somewhere at the top of the list is a perfect body (high expectations).
I'm also swamped with deadlines at work. I am really looking forward to my sister coming to help even though it means my return to the office and I'll miss Lexi. Trying to juggle all that is going on by myself just isn't working. I feel like nothing is being taken care of like I want it to be.
To top off the week, our taxes are not done. We went to a place to take care of them in February, but they were obviously incompetent. Right away, I realized I'd be better off with my regular old Turbo Tax. I came up with an excuse and we darted out of there. Since then, nothing has been done. I made an appointment today with a lady a friend recommended. I can't wait to cross one more thing off the To Do List.
Ok, so lately my life is a bunch of random thoughts just like this entry.
my name

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.
For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.
Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .
