Of course if I had loads of money it would be great but I'll take good for now. My laptop had some severe issues and many times I saw that blue screen of death. If you know anything about computers, that blue screen means serious trouble. So I called my Dad and he talked me calm again and gave me some more ideas on what to try. I spent about 3 hours in total on that computer going back and forth doing my research on this on, then goign and trying to see if it would work on the other. Finally I did it. I fixed it. I hope :)
The other day I took some pictures of Emma and I was mesmerized at what I saw. When did my baby get to be such a big girl? She's almost 6 and she is just stunning.
I think as I was trying to take these pictures it just made me think of what a good chance in life she will get. Her Dad is as handsome as pie and I guess with a little touch of me, she's got the looks. Not saying I have the looks, but she does. It sucks that life is about looks. Looks are what people base their first impression on and without good ones, your never given a fighting chance. I pray my kids just get that fighting chance.
Now as for today, today is a new day and with a new day come new things. It's snowing yet again and i am not sure if there is even school today. I did not see any kids this morning and even though the website says it's open, I am thinking it's not. I hope not. But tomorrow Emma has her very first play date here. Of course it's with the playdate whore lol but we'll take what we can get. I'll pretend I am the best mom ever. Maybe I'll even bake something lol.
Do you ever wonder if the people in your life were meant to be there or if they were just passing through? Everytime I meet people I am always left questioning them. Why are they here in my life? Are they good for me, for my family, for my life? Do they want what I want? Can they fill my needs of friendship. Girlfriends are golden and all I want in life is that special girl than knows me in and out. That is great for all of the above and really values my friendship. It's amazing how hard it is to find real people out there.
I want to have a big girl sleepover scrapathon... is that so hard to ask for?
I'd definatly come for a scrapathon sleepover... next time I'm out west.. Last time I was there was 7 years ago, so I'll be due for another trip sometime in the future. :0)
And you are very right Ari, Emma is beatiful.

REAL friends are hard to find. I find the older I get, the harder it is to find the ones that you speak of. It's really hard when you work and you have a family. I really don't know how some of those moms do it... I am envious of those people who are able to work, family, and spend time.. I need to get better with time management, now that its getting harder to have any time left at all.
