Happy Birthday to me!

I am 36 today! I cannot believe it... I look back and think of my mother at my age.. I was 14 when she was 36. My own daughter is not even 6 yet. In a way I feel younger for that, but at times I feel just way to old to have kids so young.

My life is so complicated. But yet it isn't. To DESCRIBE my life's situation it sounds quite crazy. But to live it, feels busy, but fairly simple! LOL

I have a few goals for the year:
1. Make a CD of me singing, some songs with Daniel - some solo... some with music, some a capella... I do not care about selling it so much as giving it to my children and my family and any friends who may want it.. It would be mostly Hymns and Lullabies.
2. Work on my general health... I need to lose weight. I need to resume exercising. I need to make better food choices for myself and my family. I have a stomach of iron, but the people I am responsible for feeding have much more delicate systems than I do and I need to balance all of us... All of us eating "a la cart" is getting old.
3. Work towards gaining or regaining the respect and discipline of my children. My life over the last few years has been somewhat chaotic to say the least, and they pretty much are wild.... They aren't BAD, but very mischevious... LIKE ELVES.. always wanting to play tricks on you! Our "Joke" lately is that Emily (at 5 1/2) seems like she's working towards being KID ROCK's next girlfriend! And Vincent is training to be a Chippendales Dancer! Emily loves mini skirts and her cowgirl boots! When she wears them she walks like a "supermodel"... SERIOUSLY... and Vincent, being 2... HE loves to take his clothes off... and dance! LOL I admit I am at fault, because I find it funny, there fore I have a hard time being convincing at telling them NO...
Re-learning discipline on ALL of our parts is going to be tough!

DOES not wisdom cry out,
And understanding lift up her voice?
