The Chronicles of a Housewife

A quick update before I get going today for T's birthday dinner tonight.

Thanks to a great evening with my hubby, a couple of frosty amber ales and a good night's sleep, I am seeing things much clearer today. I feel positive for the future (thanks to T's great encouragement last night and Dad's comment - thank you guys) and I am ready to move forward. I feel genuinely happy for Lauren today and know that my experience will be completely different when it is my turn. It isn't a competition, it's just life. And I want to be the best aunt I can be and I WILL be a great Mom! I know it will happen for us! I feel like we, more than anyone else, are in a perfect situation in every way possible to bring a kid into the world. I am proud of that fact. And age is just a number. I do feel wiser and more experienced at my age and I am ready to pass that on to Tay as well as any other kiddo that comes along.

Thanks to all of you (or any of you) reading my rollercoaster emotions in this blog. I know it's a wooly ride but that's kinda how it is in my amusement park. Quite amusing indeed!

Well, I am off to get the house ready for T's birthday dinner tonight. I am truly looking forward to seeing everyone tonight and wish my parents could be here too. I sure miss you guys! So much!

Here's to the windy and hilly road! May we all stay on board and not lose a limb!!
