Hey Kathy! :-)

I guess this will sound lame or something. But I wish I could relay through ESP or something (LOL!) what it was like growing up in Motown and what we've lost. :-(

I wish I could relay how much we up here grieve the beautiful cars, history, legacy and automotive age that has been our pride.

That I'm a survivor but sometimes the happy face is just a face.

First mom to the amazing Kiddo and adopted adult.

1-4-2009 Mom and I visit Kiddo despite the bad weather. He really loved the blue mittens I made him and even helped me plan my living room. Apparently Hot Wheels wallpapper is the way to go.
2-16-2009 I got a promotion, that comes with a raise. Mom and Dad are visiting and we're going to Al's for pie to celebrate.
4-27-2009 Dad surprises me with a Lady Ugly Stick (an awesome fishing rod that is pink) and a 2nd Iowa Light Artillery Battery jacket. I'm a lucky girl!
5-30-2009 Kiddo turns five. It is hard to believe he is that old already, it seems like just yesterday he was being born. I was at peace for the first time on his birthday, what a nice feeling.
6-13&14 2009 A cannon live fire in Casper WY. We got third place and I got to see Devil's Tower for the first time, it was pretty awesome.
7-4-2009 Amelia the kitten comes to live with me and Liz. Talk about jealousy, Liz will adjust though.

That appearances can be deceiving.






Oh, and that I don't like always having to be the happy one, but I don't want to let people down now that it's expected of me.

Not saying this to start a debate but...

Just because I chose adoption for my child does not make me "pro-life".

That I hate it when people tell me that they understand adoption reunion when you know they dont because they have never lived it!

I LIKE THAT ONE!!!! Crosses my mind every time I pass the picketers outside of planned parenthood - which is at minimum once a week! I've often thought about stopping to start a debate with them but they are 90% senior citizens and well.....

I wish people knew that I'm not as strong as they think I am in the things I do. I get told I'm "so strong" "so organized" "so WONDERFUL" and all that stuff but I'm not.

The only reason I get things done is because I have to not because I'm "strong" I don't give up on people in my life because I don't want people to give up on me. Taking care of my mom for instance. Everyone tells me how strong I am but they don't see the "inside" of me screaming out "WHY!!!!!!!????????? WHY!!!!!!!!!!!? WHY!!!!!!!!!!???????? is this happening and WHY can't my mother try harder to get better!!!???"

Also the organzing I do is not because I'm "organized" it's becuase if I don't do it I will lose things. Anything I don't organize gets lost and I have to hunt everywhere for it. If I didn't keep my mother's stuff organized and everything in it's place I'd be forever looking and getting angry because I couldn't find it but it doesn't make me "organized". You should see most of the rest of my things that aren't as important as others. It's a disaster area! That's not organizing.

I also wish people would realized that just because I get the "job done" doesn't mean they can ALWAYS depend on me to DO the job. I have a hard time turning things down that people ask me to do and I get stuck in projects that overwhelm me because of it but I do get it done. I hate that people ask me for so much without thinking about what I'm having to do to take care of my own life and my mother too.

And as for WONDERFUL??? Sheesh, if they only knew how much I gripe and complain about some things and how I hate doing some things that I "smile" doing in spite of how I feel. I'm not a wonderful person. I'm just a person surviving until my existence on earth ends. That's it. What I do while I'm alive is pretty much only because I have no choice but to do that because I'm not going to end my life I have to live it and I hate it. That doesn't make me a "wonderful" person IMO.

Sometimes I wish people knew how lonely it can be to be the pastor (always the alien in our midst).

That because I live my life on my own terms and don't let people take advantage of me, does not mean I'm selfish!

I wish people knew that I am wicked smart, not just a pretty face. I have a cheery & upbeat personality, & like to make people feel good about themselves. I am an only child & was/is still immensely spoiled - but there's a BRAIN behind that cover-girl smile.
