Today my oldest turns 9. I wish, for his sake, I could get a handle on my emotions and cheer up. But I’m just not doing too well. Grief really does suck. I’m not sure why our family has been a target of so much depressing stuff this year, but I sure hope that 2004 is better. Please Lord, let it be better for us!
I just visited here again today – what a blessing these pages are! All those fun stories all in one place! 🙂

J1 (almost 9) is playing a math game on the computer. In it a character taunts him by saying, “What’s a matter – you afraid of cats?” To which J1 replies “I’m not afraid of nuttin!” (short pause and quieter voice) “Except monsters under my bed!”
LOL It was all I could do not to laugh out loud! And, poor kid! I thought he was waaaay past all that!

We wrote a letter for the year-end and posted it online. I wasn’t interested in writing on at all this year, but DH didn’t want to stop this tradition. It just seemed like there was nothing good to this year, but DH was able to make it not depressing! 🙂 If you’d like to read it, you can find it here!
