if you don’t really want to know…

April 30, 2007 – 8:35 pm

A lady at work was really upset this afternoon.
Today is her birthday. She asked someone to guess how old she is.
They guessed wrong (about 8 years older than she is).
She had her feelings hurt by their answer.
Why even ask such a question?
I’m not sure what possessed her to ask that. Good grief!

wrong century?

April 30, 2007 – 7:42 pm

Life Goals

April 19, 2007 – 8:36 am

I asked my children, “What’s your biggest goal in life?” I think I should ask them this every year or so & see how it changes over the years.
DD13 said hers was to be a veterinarian and to have a paint throwing party to repaint her bedroom (tarps on the floor, buckets of […]

Four months ago today,

April 18, 2007 – 9:25 pm

DD10 was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes. It seems like it was a lifetime ago.
Her 2 month check up with the pediatric endocrinologist and diabetes educator was this afternoon. Her A1C was 6.1. After having it at 11 in February, 6.1 was a major change.
DD10 is doing great […]
