YEAR


Where did the year go? I can't believe it's already October. I feel like I just started taking care of the kiddos at my apartment and that I just took photos of them in their Halloween costumes. I feel like it was just yesterday when I attended two of the kiddos 1st birthday parties, now they're about to turn 2! My best friend in Helena moved away almost a year ago. My grandma already passed a month ago, wasn't that just last week? Sam will be ONE in 3 short months! Last year at this time we were getting psyched for our trip to Sayulita, Mexico. Seriously, how is this year already almost over? And where am I with my life? Same place I was a year ago... nothing new accomplished, still single. Sigh... oh well, maybe next year.

What do you mean you have accomplished nothing? You are a doting auntie and amazing caregiver. Don't try to tell Sam, Greysen, Bennett, Parker, Emerson, and Dylan or their parents or the other families you care for that you accomplished nothing.

I did accomplish some things, you're right. I should have clarified that I didn't accomplish any of my personal goals, but I am close, like getting out of debt. My greatest accomplishment of all is being an auntie, I love it more than anything.

Cdoc, someday I'm going to make a list of all the things you've accomplished this year. I can think of a few right now as I type this, teaching Greysen manners - to say 'scue me (excuse me), da doo (thank you), and peas (please). Was just marveling over the manners this kid has and I had virtually nothing to do with it. You've taught Greysen AND ME so many things this year. Thank you.

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder"

I was always a bit skeptic of this phrase. How can being away from a person make you fonder? With time, you will slowly start to forget the sound of their laughter and the scent of their hair. You will forget the way they dance and the way they like their toast. Sure, when you see them again, when they laugh or dance, all those things come rushing back. Being away may make you yearn for them, but you no longer know them as well as you used to. At least that is what I used to think. I should have know this phrase was true since whenever I would see my sisters again, it was like no time had passed. I don't know what it was that made me realize all that I took for granted, maybe it is being away from home for so long or my travel mishaps or my friend's car accident or maybe just that I am getting older, something made me see how I took everything for granted in my life before I came here. It was so easy, I could go up the stairs or across the hall or get in my car and spend a day ...

I Heart The Office!

Image
My sister introduced me to the television show The Office . And I heart it. I saw Seasons 1 and 2 on dvd in the past week (I watched all of Season 2 between last night and today). The only problem now is that they are half way through Season 3, so I have missed several episodes and it won't come out on dvd until at least this summer... hmm, problem. But you want to know the one thing I heart even more than The Office ? Jim Halpert/John Krasinski (character/actor). He is on the show and I have a huge crush on him. I know what you are saying, you are 25 years old (turning 26 in 2 1/2 months) and crushes on famous people at this age is a little weird, and usually I would agree. It has been many years since I have had a crush on a star. But Jim/John is so an exception. In fact, if I could find a real life guy here in Minnecrap that looks like Jim/John, makes the same facial expressions, has the same sense of humor and is as nice, sweet and kind as him, so basically exactly like Jim/J...

All you need is love?

This is a question people have asked for a long time. Is it true? Is love all we really need? I think it would depend on who you ask. When it comes to young children, love is all you need. You know your parents love you and spend time with you, that is what is most important to a child. You don't understand the importance of money or work or health, all that matters is love. Maybe that is what is so appealing about childhood, why we would all do anything to go back, because we were innocent and love really was what made the world go round. As an adult, I now see things differently. Love isn't all there is, we need so much more. Some would say that makes me cynnical, but I am not. I want to believe that love is all we need and for the most part I agree with that statement, however I see that there is a lot more that goes along with love. As a parent, your role is not only to love, but to protect, comfort, support, provide, but common sense says that those things automatically go...
