man... these 10 hour days are something. i could be calling on all of these mommy bills I have from the hospital, but it's almost 4:30... and nobody is going to want to work with me at 4:30. I'll just have to call them tomorrow.
In the mean time and in between time... the 8s.

8 Things I Want to Do Before I Die (not in order of importance):

8 Things I Have Learned (or remembered, again) This Past Year:
1. Do your best to let things roll off your shoulders, and trust that the angels are keeping record so you don't have to. What idiots do or say is more a reflection of them than what they are trying to say about you.
2. Motherhood and childbirth are amazing regardless of the route you take to get there.
3. "Race" is still boiling under the surface of American interactions.
4. Blessings don't have pre-requesites.
5. Keep looking forward asking (and creating) "what's next?"
6. When in doubt, forgive and have faith.
7. Stress about a relationship means the relationship might not be something you need in your life.

Thanks! That was totally fun....you are hysterical, thoughtful, intelligent, and all other good things...oh, and definitely humorous.
Love you! Come see me when you aren't crazy busy......hopefully, that is sooner than later.
are you going to go see Twilight the movie? I don't think I am. I'm in love with my Edward, the one in my head, and I don't need the movie ppls messing that up, by putting a less attractive than the male in my head person on the screen as Edward. the dude they are using for edward has a really big head...
