On the weekend: Well, we're back from Savannah. We drove to Brunswick Friday to see Eric's family. They hadn't seen Sophie since Easter so it was nice to get to reacquaint her with that side of her family. We then drove up to Savannah for my niece's first birthday party.

It's been one of those days where I'm having a hard time believing that anything I do ultimately matters in any way to anyone.
I think I'm going to bed.

I've decided that one day, scientists are going to discover the long term, harmful effects of alarm clocks.  Being jolted awake each morning by that unholy buzzing sound, your heart racing...  then comes that sinking feeling in your stomach as you are overcome with the despair and the significance of the meaning behind the sound..... it just can't ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday to me

Happy Birthday to me!

In January, Jacob's kindergarten class made flip books in which they wrote down personal goals for 2009.  I remember Jacob's goals very clearly.  They were ( Read more... )
