Happy Birthday to my brother

Today is my "little" brothers birthday- he's 30! I can't believe it. I still remember when they brought him home from the hospital and the first thing he did was almost pee on me. He is an amazing man and father- I hope the rest is as good as the past several years have been.

It is freezing here today! My feet are like little blocks of ice, and my hands are pretty cold too! Jack has gone to spend the morning with Nana and Pop so I have some free time. He has been so well behaved the past few days- it has been quite a relief.

The beginning of this year has been a relief pretty much altogether- I am finally figuring out that I want to manage my life, not let it manage me. I know, I would think that would have been figured out by almost 40, but there's no time like the present.

My new favorite quite comes from a book Jack got for Christmas. "Willpower is trying really hard NOT to do something you really want to do."
