2006

...is coming up quick. I've been thinking a lot about my family situation and the decisions I've made in regards to all of them. We had lunch with my brothers and sisters (minus Adrienne) and their significant others on Christmas Eve, and had a good time. Not quite comfy, but good. Progress to be made.
Whenever I've made a choice regarding someone, I always think to myself, "If they died tomorrow, would I be okay? Would I feel guilty for the things I've done/said? Would I know without a doubt I tried my hardest?"
With my dad, I'm 150% positive. My ex-stepmother, same. My mom, ugh.... ongoing, but yes, I'm okay. But I wasn't with my siblings, so I feel like now the oppurtunity has presented itself to fix that. It's so easy to not deal with things when they're not a day to day part of your life. But I can't keep doing that. So for the new year, I'm definitely going to (cautiously) move forward with having a relationship with them.


Am I an evil mom if I tell my son that I made him Superman glasses, just so I can get some goofy pictures of him wearing them? It's all in what you call it, you know... do I redeem myself if I take a picture of myself wearing the same goofy glasses?? If not, then oh well. We had fun making them. That, and my 'tiara' that Cam made me. The things we do to occupy our time while Brent slaves away at work.... *sigh*. Poor Megan doesn't know what she's in for! :P

Megan had her FOUR month check up yesterday! Ack! Where has the time gone??! I know I'm getting old- the frequency that I say that comes more and more often these days. That, and 'those kids' or 'kids these days'... anyways, she's growing great, not quite as chunky as some of her buddies, but hey, maybe she'll be lucky and be petite or something. She's in the 65% for height/weight, but next to some of the chunkamonks these days, that's nothing. Hopefully she'll stay friends with all of them through school, so that they can wallop on anyone that picks on her for her.
