New Year

Well, my little chickadees, it is 2010. Thank God! I hated 2009. It was full of illness in my family, stress, disappointment, and little joy. I was not impressed by anything, except the stupidity of narrowmindedness of too many Americans.

BUT, it also presented me with the best Christmas present ever: My oldest son, Judson, and his wife, Amy, are expecting again. They told me on Dec. 18th and I was jumping up and down with glee. That will make eight grandchildren and probably the last. My daughter, Merideth, and other son, Tyler, are finished having children, at three and two respectively. My husband's daughter, Megan, has a sweet one-year-old and isn't talking about having anymore either.

Babies are my utter pleasure in life. I delight in showering them with love and making them smile/laugh. It was what I was born to do, next to writing.

My husband hates when I "mother" him. We were married for less than a year when our first grandson, Calvin, came along in 1999. So, as the grandchildren kept coming after that, my mothering instincts resurfaced and haven't ebbed since. The only thing that has ebbed is my energy level. I'm not 30 anymore!
