Growing Up

Minnow is fast approaching being a year and a half. I can hardly believe how fast the time has gone. When I new I was going to be a stay at home mom, I joined a stay-at-home moms group. It has been a great group and I don't know what I would have done without a group of women who were going through what I was going through. Our kids are various ages as are our reasons for staying home. We had our 2nd annual family picinic yesterday--where all the moms get to sit and chat, while our husbands watch and play with the kids. It was really nice and Minnow had a blast. I am so thankful that I have been able to stay home with Minnow.

This feeling causes me to question my decision to attempt to go back to work as our next little one will be joining us around May (i am guessing). I have to wonder if she doesn't deserve the same attention and parental bonding that Minnow did. Is it fair to her? Is it fair the the children that will hopefully come after her? I just don't know and boy how I wish I had all the answers.

If You Lived Where I Do

you could buy a new ATV and get with it a winch and a gun. Seriously, this is the ad promo that runs on one of our country stations--okay so I totally just outed myself as a country music aficionado--but still who doesn't need a new gun with their ATV purchase. That way it becomes much much easier to hurt yourself or someone else while you are out riding your ATV. Totally makes sense to me.

This is just begging to become a Darwin Award.

I Can Only Hope To Be This Inspirational

If you caught GMA this morning you maybe got to see the piece on Dr. Randy Pausch. A professor who has terminal cancer and ony 3-6 months to live. He is truly living his dying days. He gave a "last lecture" at Carnagie Mellon--where he taught. It is long, but truly amazing and inspirational.

There is a question that hits me, would I have been as moved and inspired by his words if I didn't know he was dying? I would like to think so.

Here is the link...Dr. Pausch's Last Lecture. Inspire someone today.
