Wearing: Americana

Here I am, blogging at six in the morning when I could have slept in,

'cuz my mind won't quit stumblin' over all the ideas floating around in my brain.

I hate when that happens. Not really.

But I sorta wish my brain would stumble somewhere between two and four in the afternoon when

my kids are napping and I could actually do something about it.

I feel like a little kid.

Five days before Christmas and I absolutely think I might die from the waiting.

I don't know what the holiday holds for you, but we're gonna be kickin' it in the Arctic-like environs of Michigan,

surrounded by my (very large) extended family.

My cousins, who are all extremely accomplished in their respective fields, are always an inspiration to me.

I sit around with them and think, Wow, when I grow up, I wanna be just like them!

Never gonna happen for this SAH-Mommy from the sticks of Indiana, but a girl can always dream.

Now that I'm thinkin' about it, the fact that I look up to them so much is actually sort of funny, 'cuz I'm the oldest cousin, oldest grandchild...I'm just old (compared to them)...hehehe

Hmm...maybe now would be a good time to remind myself that I don't feel a day older than 21...
