Kids

There's just no two ways about it: kids are funny. I'm watching these home videos from the stuttering grant that I'm working on at school, and it is hilarious what kids say and do. Example: dinner table, brother and sister, brother starts singing (screaming) while simultaneously jumping up and down on his chair -- all while completely pantless. And no, his shirt does not cover everything. Ha :) Wouldn't you be slightly embarrased as the mother to mail in this video to a big University? Does she not care that it might seem somewhat odd that her kids are a little out-of-control? Maybe I'm just not a mom. I'm sure that's what it is. But I still feel like I'd hold off on sending out videos that show off the dirty laundry of my dinner table happenings.

On a completely different sidenote, it is finally cold here in the South. I think it went down to 19 last night. 19!! Yay for the winter. Now as long as it stays till at least mid-March I will be happy. Even a snow day here or there would be great. Am I insane, you ask? No, no, not me. I've just got a little Chi-town in my blood that's craving some winter winds. A girl's got desires, you know?!

young?? old??

2005 is here -- am i too young to feel old? am i too young to feel odd about being single and without prospects? am i too young to worry about when i will be able to start investing for my (future) kids' education? i tell you, maturity is a bear when all the things you're supposed to be mature about haven't happened yet.
