My Son's 10th Birthday made me realize.....

Pardon me for being RUDE...but I've had a FUCKING FANTASTIC LIFE...and I'm only reaching 40(next month)! Today is my FIRST Baby's, Birthday.....Josh is turning 10!! He is now into the double digits!! And where did the time go?? I can recall turning 10 myself....standing in my Mom's bedroom doorway...curtains were pulled to block the July Sun that afternoon.....I recall standing there...thinking, "I am 10..I am OLD, I am no longer in the single digits...I am double digits for the rest of my life...that's it!"

((See...if I was thinking that back then, no wonder I am having issues turning 40 this year!))

Homemade WAFFLES and Blueberries!

But for my Son...who is turning 10...didn't I just bring him home yesterday!? I can remember everything!! Playing poker...while waiting for something to happen!! Not feeling the contractions till they broke my water...and that was it......here's BABY!! I vividly recall the hemorrhoids!! How he was the ONLY baby sleeping in the ward(was something wrong with him)!! And I thought, as we brought him home and sat him in his chair ..."this is it..you are here...here we go!" And we did go!! It's been amazing!!

He is such a smart, young man!! He definitely has an old soul! He loves to cook! He loves History! He is kind and considerate! He even lectures friends and younger kids on the IMPORTANCE OF HEALTHY EATING!! I almost get embarrassed when he is passionately telling people, "white bread is bad for you....and hot dogs aren't healthy....that cereal is sugary...and why would you eat at McDonald's!?"
Gotta thank JAMIE OLIVER for that!! And he is right....!!

I think Hubby and I are doing OK!!

Going over photos from the past 10yrs.........I realized I've had a fucking fantastic life!! And it's only the first half......
