What do I have to say about Ash? She is so much like me it is scarrrrry!! The only difference is she talks more than me. Wow how she has grown. We celebrated her 10th birthday on December 22. That was a Saturday and I could not take off of work so, we just celebrated in the hotel in Dallas. She said that she had a great day!! I am so glad. We are facing the point in her growing up that every warm blooded parent has anxieties about. She is in between a little girl and a pre-teen. Oh the emotional roller coaster we ride on frequently. But I have to say that she has been a great joy to raise this far. She has a great sense of humor, a dedicated friend, a wonderful piano player, sporty, and loves fashion. I am sure I could go on and on. I love you sweetie and can't wait to see where this year takes us.

We had such a great year watching my sweet boy grow into a wonderful 4 year old. What a blessing it is to have children. He keeps me laughing, worn out, happy, irritated, loved, full of pride, did I mention laughing?

My annoying five.

1. Shoes not being on tiny feet when we arrive at our destination. IT NEVER FAILS!!

2. Loud eating / smacking. This is not just an adult annoyance, it has been with me for as long as I remember. I can not handle hearing someone else eat their food. YUCK!

3. Open cabinets, drawers, or closet doors. I have cultivated this pet peeve from childhood as well. My sister - total opposite. She doesn't care if all the cabinets are open.

4. Parents who only pull half way up the drive when dropping their precious babes off at school. Come on people!! There is enough room for 4 more cars to let out their children if you would just pull up. It will not hurt them to walk several more feet to the front door.

5. Retail clerks who feel the need to ask you every 5 seconds if anything has jumped out at you. No, but if you keep jumping out at me, I'm leaving.
