This new year I know that something has got to give with these boys. A change is mandatory. No more whining, fighting, bickering, yelling, arguing. NOPE!
It’s going to be organized, formatted, understood and smoother.
To help me on this I am going through 31 Days to Happier Children I am uber excited about it!
I will be sharing my successes, struggles and all-in-all happenings through this journey.
Here’s to sharing and finding joy within this life.

day eleven: a deceased person you wish you could talk to
I had to think about this one… that’s why it is late.
I have not yet lost anyone I am truly close to. (blessed)
I would like to talk to my Grandfather Jack. My mom’s dad. He died whilst I was still cooking. I have heard stories, tales, scandals and talk of how he was and what he did. I know he was a Navy man and met my grandmother at a USO dance in San Francisco… (seriously so romantic) I know he was strict but loving – My mom still calls him daddy. He called her Janet Lee, she looks a lot like him and so does my brother. When he died my grandmother never remarried and to this day she is still wearing her ring – she says she never thought of loving another man, she could not give her heart away because “it will always belong to Jack!”
I wonder what he would think of how my mom ended up, how her life is and what he would tell her now. I wonder what he would think of me and my boys, Chandler is named after him. (Chandler Jackson) I wonder what he would have to tell, what he would be doing and how my grandmothers life would have been different. I would really enjoy getting to know him!
"To my darling with all my heart! Love, Jack"

day thirteen: someone I wish could forgive me
WOW!
Ummm about half the odd girls in middle school and high school. – I was kinda a well, snob.
BUT…
recently, Lauren – if you would forgive me for whatever I did that you are ignoring me! I miss our chats!

day ten: to some one I don’t talk to as much as I like to
honestly, there are a lot of people I don’t talk to as much as I would like. More than I am comfortable sharing. Sometimes, when I have time to talk I need silence, and when I need to talk they need the silence.
I am working on being a better friend. Seriously.
To all those who I avoid, don’t call, text or write. I miss you and think of you.
we should chat soon!
