I am 38 years old.  My birthday is December 8, 1968. It used to bother me how quickly time passed, but I'm beginning to see that it's a blessing to have lived life fully.  I hope to do that from here on out.

I am married to Darren. He is amazing, and I love him so much. I should not have such a wonderful husband, but God blesses all of us. Darren is my blessing. He treats me like a princess. He indulges me. He makes me laugh. He loves me. He is a wonderful husband, and a wonderful father. He thinks I talk bad about him on the internet. He'd be embarassed if he knew how I REALLY talk about him.

I am a Mommy!  I never knew how amazing it would be. Or how hard. Or how rewarding. My Emily is my twin. She and I love each other fiercely, but we can also clash like you wouldn't believe. She is so fun! We both take dance. She's involved in Girl Scouts and Cotillion. She is a busy little girl. I love to spoil her. Matthew is Mr. Creativity, and I adore his mind. He also takes care of me when Daddy travels. He takes that role very seriously. He thinks things through, and comes up with the most wonderful theories. He writes like I wish I could write. He is a miracle, and I adore him.  Mikey is my sugar boy. He is snuggly and cuddly and kissy. He is also a genius. Just ask him! He really does well in math. It won't be long before he's able to figure out math that I can't.

I own a business. It's far more successful than I expected. Sometimes that scares me and I doubt myself. Sometimes I feel that I'm missing my calling. That I don't spend enough time with my family. That my business is more important than my life. I'm attemptin to overcome that. I have hired 2 subcontractors to work with me. They are wonderful, and I am slowly getting my life back.

I am very busy. I do a lot of stuff...scouts, church, PTA, it goes on and on. If I had my druthers, I'd just write poetry and read it at a little coffeehouse, and sleep until noon. But I have no druthers, I guess LOL

I desperately want courage. I have written one complete books (my oldest son thinks they should be an anthology). I don't share them with anybody. I am working on another set. Again, they are just for my babies. I'm not a good writer. But I love it, so I keep doing it. Now that I have this spot, maybe I'll write some more.

I am tired. I usually am. So I'm going to bed right now.

Good night!
