Deck the Halls

November 16th, 2010.
Really?
November?
the 16th?
2010??
I need to start buying my calendars in bulk. Um yes, Mr. Wal Mart man, can you help me find the aisle that has the bulk pack of calendars, you know the ones that the pages never stop turning, where before I know it it is the holiday season AGAIN and my kids are another year older?

Don't get me wrong. I am a HUGE holiday girl. I'm a marketing persons DREAM. The smells, the lights and don't even get me started on the tingly feelings I get in my girl parts when I hear Christmas music on the radio. I LOVE the holidays.

It just feels that lately my years are flying by quicker than I can highlight them on the calendar.

My baby is turning 15 in 2 weeks, my daughter has had her first round of PMS lately and Jakob likes GIRLS!

All 3 actions are very normal and healthy I know, BLAH BLAH BLAH.
None of that CRAP stuff means I have to like it or act like a mature adult about it!
Does it?

It's funny because I think that Brian and I would both agree that this is one of the best times of our lives right now. The craziness of 3 very active kids, the balancing of school, work, quality time, family dinners and the occasional meet me in the closet moment, all make for a pretty fulfilling life.

But you know I have my moments where I catch a glimpse of a young girl nuzzling a baby on her chest and I have to fight back the urges to scream at the top of my lungs, "hold on to him now because one day he will have pubic hair and a penis, a real penis, and then what are you going to do?!"

Maybe I should look into medication, I mean meditation or maybe both.
Hey Mr. Wal Mart man.....
