Where has the year gone?
It seems like last week the kids were out on spring break!!
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve...another year will be tucked under our belt and we will forge into 2009.
I feel a great year coming... a new President (I think a wise choice) and a year full of new resolutions and opportunities.
I have already made quite a few resolutions and hope that I can make at least a few of them a reality.
I want to be a more understanding person and a better mother and wife.
I want to be more patient with my husband...who is as laid back as I am hyper.
Looking over the past year, I have been blessed more than I deserve. I have three wonderful children, who wear me out on a daily basis although I couldn't imagine my life without them.
I have a wonderful job, with bosses that respect and appreciate me (a HUGE plus) and I have customers that seem to genuinely like me being their server and take tremendous care of me every time they come into our store.
I work with an eclectic bunch of goof balls that I love, admire and make fun of on a daily basis. I am 48...most of them are in their early twenties (which makes them extremely easy to pick on).
If they knew what this ole gal knows now...they could all change the course of their lives and save themselves a ton a heartache, money , fines and probation!
My kids are growing up WAY too rapidly, and it leaves me opened mouthed...wondering where the last 22 years have gone?!
My brother in law survived open heart surgery..my sister survived nursing him back to health( A greater feat if you ask me).
My husband has started his own trucking business and survived thus far in this terrible economy.
Our house is another year closer to being paid off (Thank You 15 year mortgage).
Although I am a year closer to turning fifty...I feel just as good as I did when I was 25... except for the carpel tunnel, the bad knee , back aches and the ever growing gray hair and crows feet!
But HEY!! I am here, I am healthy (sorta) living in a great neighborhood with my next door husband close by for repairs and my retired neighbors on the other side always ready for a thirty minute chat any time they catch you before you shut the garage door (That will be me one day...I am sure)!!
Enjoy your last day of 2008 and let's kiss this disastrous year goodbye and welcome 2009 with the optimism and hope that we need.
Thank you all for being readers of my drivel and for taking time to stop and listen to my stories, opinions and rants!!
I wish only the best and most for you and yours in the coming year...and keep on reading...
Til NEXT year....COTTON
