Forgetting Someone

Forgetting someone is like forgetting to turn off the light in the backyard so it stays lit all the next day
But then it is the light that makes you remember.

It's time...

to start over. Another year gone and this one went faster than any previous year I can remember. Some people might not think that time can speed up, but I think it can. Maybe it was a good thing. Maybe 2009 was just a bridge year. It had to happen to get us to 2010.



So, here we go. Bring on 2010. I'm ready for a new year.

The Monthly Call...

The Monthly call is when my family gets "together" on a conference call. This call includes my mom, my sisters (Heather, Kathy, Roni & Christine) and my nieces, (Val, April and Sarah). It's nice, but do you know how hard it is for NINE women to not all talk at one time? The call can get a little much after a while.

When my mom got so sick in October we all decided that we needed to start getting in touch more. My family is not a typical family and so we're not as close as other people. It's okay, it works for us though.

Anyway, it's amazing how fast this past month has gone by. Not to mention how fast this whole year has gone by.

TWO THOUSAND AND TEN in just a few days. It seems like it just turned 2000. Have I been asleep the past ten years? I think I must have been.

It's really time for me to wakeup. Seriously.
