big feet

Wow... it is easy to forget when you don't have anywhere to go what day it is... I think iI appreciate my days & the activity in them more these days.

I realize little boys feet grow incredibly fast! I sit and rock him and look at his feet and every day I think .. he needs new shoes... well there must have been a reason I waited! Today I got a postcard from StrideRite! So we can buy one pair for now and one for later at 50% off... And the little StrideRites are so soft & flexible... and since he is learning to move and groove we need some good shoes to travel around town in.... AND they need to have some style!

Today I realized the importance of getting a scanner/fax for my new home office. In the last week I have wasted more time putting shoes & coats on and going to Staples or Kinkos to send a fax or scan a document. I am going to price them and put it in the grand plan... enough with the time wasting! Besides I have to pay these places to use these services & I've spent enough to already have my own! Geesh... anyone have any good suggestions on that?

My neighbor, Lisa, passed away today. The services will be next week. It makes me sad. Sad for the family that was tragically and swiftly torn apart when Lisa suffered a brain trauma in a snowmobile accident while on a family vacation and then torn apart again when Ryan was killed in a jet ski accident when the boys were staying with family for the summer break. Sad for the little boy left behind without the mom he knew and the brother he loved. He has grown in the last 5 years into a young man that I spend a fair amount of time with lately. He is like most 13 year olds, shy & quiet, perfers his video game to real people and likes to play baseball. He is a good kid.... his dad has had to be strong and endure.

I remember when Lisa & I would sit out on the front steps in the summer watching the boys play & drinking a beer until the husbands got home... we'd laugh, complain and gossip about the neighbors. I have fond memories of her and am sad by her passing but glad there is no more suffering.

But I can without a doubt say that I will hug my family more. Tell them I love them. And stick to my new years resolution this year... I will have a will - and a living will too - I will have life insurance. There are no more excuses - no more reasons not to... you just never know when something tragic can happen and I want to be sure my little boy with growing feet is protected in the best way possible. ****** And I hope all my friends with children update their policies... do it for that little person you love so much....
