So here it is, the last day before the world ends......Again.
I jokingly told my daughter that there was no reason to go to work yesterday(or today)and we should run off and play for two days while we waited for "the end". She ,being more practical then I, declined.
That got me thinking a bit. What would I do if I was sure the world would end tomorrow? Besides not paying my bills (which by the way I'm not just on the off chance I get lucky and the earth dose end).
I really couldn't think of anything that jumped out at me.
I don't think I would be all upset about the things I didn't do, or even the thought of being dead.
Dead can't be all that bad right?
If there's no more cleaning the bathroom or doing dishes, I would be good with that!
Here is how I look at it.
I have no bucket list to complete before I die, so I'm not missing anything.
I can't change anything that I have done.
I can't change anything that has been done to me.
So bring on the end!
I'll be waiting, watching softball games on TV and playing with my little boy.
The end of the world will bring a great nap, or something new to do.
Maybe both!
And if I wake up tomorrow...... I guess I'll get up, get dressed and go to work.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
This week my daughter had her 19Th. birthday.
19!!! HOLY COW how did she get so old!?
It really is amazing how fast time seems to slip by. I would swear it was yesterday that I was in some serious pain around 10:00 the night before she came and about 1:30ish having to convince a nurse that YES I DID NEED TO COME TO THE HOSPITAL! 5:30 a.m. and I had my doctor, (an intern) his supervising doctor, and about 15 med students all standing at the end of the bed (ya gotta love teaching hospitals). And by 6:30 May 12th, I had a beautiful 6 lbs 7 oz. little girl.
She was, and is, amazing!
She did not cry (fussed a bit to be fed) until she was a week old, and her older brother stabbed her eye with a pen. She still has the mark right on her eyelid from that one.
She has the most amazing pure laugh that I think I will ever hear.
Her Baby brother thinks the world of her, one of his first words was "disder", they are always together.
She loves to read, hates to be woke up, And she is one of my favorite people to spend time with. Even her older brother loves her!
This beautiful girl has had some very hard things in her life. Her father left a week before her first birthday, she has never seen him since. Her grandfather, who was incredibly close to her, died when she was in high school, and about that same time I was fighting (and losing) a Battle with depression, drugs and alcohol. She has even had to call the police on her own mother, something that I am very proud of her for being strong enough to do.
Throughout all of this crud she has wadded in she still remains a very loving, kind, DETERMINED, and caring person.
I think she is definitely the most responsible person in our family, and I'm sure she would agree with me on that :)
I am not a real big fan of God, or him "blessing" people, BUT I know that baby girl is a huge part of me and I am so lucky, and thankful that she is in my life!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL!!
I love you with every bit of my heart.
