Random thoughts from a homemaker and mom, usually consisting of very boring stories about my children and husband.

I'm sorry dad!
Talked to mom today and she informed me that my father has sworn off my blog after reading my cigarette blog. He had no idea that I started smoking so younge. Sorry dad for the shockers, I will try to tame down the truth :-)
PS- Ami...will you take requests for Blogs? I think you need to do one about Rosie getting fired (or quitting, whatever the case may be)! Just thought you would have a funny opinion on that particular topic.
There's no reason why you should feel it necessary to "tame down the truth" - not for me or anyone else. If I understand it right, the main point of blogging is to be able to say what's on your mind and not worry about what anyone else thinks. It's a chance to clear the air and clear one's mind of opinions and pet peeves and joys and sorrows and attitudes and silly thoughts and guilts and aha's and oh no's and so many other things that often get filtered out of "acceptable" or "polite" or "politically correct" (I really dislike this age of political correctness) conversation that normally takes place. Your blogs remind me of a little girl (read,you) who would often leave me in stitches as a result of your frank, honest, and innocent questions, comments, and observations. If anyone (read, me) has a problem with the content of them, then he (read, I) will just have to get over it. Was I shocked? Yeah, but not so shocked as I am oh so proud of how amazing you are and the fact that you DID quit a pack-a-day habit and HAVE resisted the urge to "try just one" for old time's sake. I'm pretty sure that not too many who have been there can say THAT. The down side is that you will probably always have moments where you "sure wish I had a cigarette". The upside is that you've radically upped your chances of not only being around to enjoy the milestones in the lives of Grey and Gentry but also of being around to enjoy your grandchildren and great grandchildren (I know, I'm scaring you - that's a long way off). But admit it, is'nt that a no-brainer. So, you go girl! BLOG-ON!
In our nine years together Micah and I have never stayed in Kentucky for the holidays. We have always traveled to Oklahoma, Kansas, Pennsylvania, Maine, or New Jersey. Needless to say we are sad to not be spending the holidays with our extended families but we plan to make the 90 days between fall break and going back to school after New Years a very special time.

Darrell, I know, I know... The innocence is right out the window. Let's just hope this blog is out of reach for Grey and Gentry!
If I remember correctly you had a hand in getting me to sneak out that window, and move to Kentucky :-)
Damn it, Micah...when will the corruption of Ami end?
