I know, I know....

Ok, so it's been awhile.

I'm in the kind of mood right now where I could sit here and list all of these random complaints I have on a day like today. It's always kind of funny when you think your day starts off completely on the right foot, and then everything from that point on goes incredibly downhill.

Alright, I'll spare you all of my complaints for today...

I guess I do have some random thoughts going through my head:

- I feel horrible horrible horribly for the 13 year old son of Christopher and Dana Reeve's son. While most of us can't really stand the thought of losing one parent, this 13 yeard old adolescent has endured more than most of us have ever gone through by losing both of his parents at such young ages.

- My dad just turned 50 yesterday and as I wrote to him in his card, I really feel as though they (him and my mom) are getting younger and not older. Since my youngest sibling left the house, they have had this newfound freedom that they are taking advantage of in every possible way. Running off to Boston, or washington D.C, AC for his birthday, trying out new pubs and restaurants....visiting all of their children. I think it's the most wonderful thing.

- I had a youngster confide in me today and it's left me feeling very uneasy. she must have had NO ONE else to talk to because we have never even met before and yet she spilled her deepest darkest secret to me. that's something incredibly powerful that allows me to feel special to have the job that I do. I get to interact with young human beings in so many different ways and in many situations, I become the bearer of many secrets.

- I wish this "situation" wasn't happening because I feel horrible.

* It's kind of amazing how letting go of a few random things makes you feel a little better.
