Mar. 12, 2008 - Busy Times
Morgan and Ashlin got the sickness the same week Logan had it. (See previous update.) Ashlin got strep 24 hours after Logan's started and Morgan had a sinus infection for about a week.
It has been a busy time. We are dragging through this time of the school year. It is tough for all of us right now. None of us are very excited about having to do any schooling right now. Do you think maybe if Mom's attitude was better everyone elses would be too???
We have had a couple of deaths on my husband's side of the family; his cousin Beverly passed away from cancer in February and his Uncle Joe died last week. Please remember the families if you think about it.
I'm staring hard down the barrel of my 40th birthday (maybe that's the reason for the bad attitude). I am not so concerned about being 40, really. My problem is this: The time between 30 and 40 flew by like a flash of lightning. If 40 to 50 goes by that fast (and I am assured by all those that are 50 and older that it goes by even faster) then I will be 50 in no time...and 50 bothers me.
I am truly thankful for the life God has blessed me with and I am enjoying every bit of it. Brad Paisley has a song out right now called "Letter to Me." If I could write a letter to me at 20 and tell myself about my life at 40, my 20 year old self would be excited and happy about the years ahead. I don't believe my 20 year old self would change one thing about the future. So, while I moan and groan (a little) about my 40th birthday, I am so blessed and pray that God will continue to bless our family the way he has for so long.
Blessings,
Rhonda
