nothin'

i am a terrible journal keeper. i have always known that. but i really wanted to be a good blogger because i want to remember all the little things that our kids do every day. i am failing miserably lately. it's not for lack of material either...hudson especially gives us plenty to talk about every day. i wish i could find a way to not be so consumed with "life" right now. it has given new meaning to the word 'stress' for me. and i really want to be that person who can just "let go and let God"...but that is so much easier said than done. maybe i'll make a wish list and putting it out there will weaken its strength.

• andy to be employed soon...for many many reasons
• to feel like i have my stuff together at school
• my sister to be healthy and happy
• my dad's venture to take off
• my parents to be relaxed and happy
• jake to stop arguing with every. little. word.
• to have enough for a rainy day and not continue to rob peter to pay paul
• for my laundry to quit multiplying like rabbits when i leave the room
• andy to take care of the "stuff" in his office - and to finish the estate
• to be more confident and less concerned with relationships that aren't what i thought they were

i'm off to take care of that laundry now. if i don't, we'll have to sleep on top of the mountain.
