My middle daughter turns 17 today.
When she was born, she looked like a shar-pei. All muscles and skin... hardly a bit of baby fat on the kid. You could use her as an anatomy model- all these wonderful strong little muscles. Her head was shaped like Gumby's... remember him? His head was triangular. She apparently came out of the birth canal doing a wonderful spiral dive, twisting as she emerged. ouch. She was bare bald, which showed off the gumby head to full advantage for a week. She didn't have enough hair for a barrette until she was 2!
Now she's 17. 5'11", a head full of spiral curls showering down to the middle of her back. Still muscular as heck- she's a varsity athlete. Smart as heck- 3 AP classes in her junior year.
I am one lucky mom!!!
oh yeah, the other 2 kids are wonderful and beautiful as well- but it's just not their birthday  | |

I have no idea if it's real this time. We were having spring, a very nice spring-thank-you-very-much... then BAM  18 inches of snow in 2 days! Now, it's sunny again. Everything's melting. I want to trust, I want to believe.
Now, I know I CHOSE to live in Alaska... but the summers in Alaska are so wonderful that it makes up for the 6-7 months of winter! And those 6-7 months are supposed to be OVER! NOW.
OK, I feel better now. I feel hopeful. I think I will take a walk at lunch and enjoy the sunshine.

i am writing this for one simple reason- so my Profile doesn't accuse me of having no life at all!
my life... a dear husband (who truly is a dear), 3 dear children (who are a little more questionable on a day-to-day basis), 2 dear goggies, and a job i really love. that's me! | |
