the BRAIN AGE craze.......it's hit our house!

Yep........I'm the oldest according to the game......I'm out to FIX THAT!!!

Seriously, I think Daniel has cheated(or not played correctly)........he is much younger than I , AND he's younger than both Danica & Daylan............WHATEVER!!!

Didn't get here yesterday..........

HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY DAYLAN(feb. 11th)!!!
Not a whole lot of celebrating going on.......Daylan had two test the next day so he was busy studying, and the girls came over to make valentines treats for Natasha's class. It was a quick supper of burgars, then cake...........DONE!!!


I recall one of the girls saying, "WOW, lots of candles"!
Then there's me thinking, "WOW, how young, so few candles"!
I guess when your 3(or 5), 19 is lots!
When your 50, 19 is a few.........LOL!!!
(yes......I'll be whining for a bit yet, hang in there)


Kirsten came over later to study........and brought this......NICE!!!!



Oh my word........it just hit me...........LAST YEAR OF TEENAGE YEARS(as a parent)! On Daylan's next birthday all our kids will be in there 20's........for sure now I'm FEELING IT........I'M OLD!!!

my 1st of 50 things isn't what I would call GREAT,

but it's something I've NEVER done before!!!

Last night for about 6.5 hours(no I'm not kidding), and this morning for about 45 minutes I back combed Daylan's hair giving him dreadlocks..........holy crop that's a LOT of work, and we are NOT done(10 more to go out of almost 50(lol), AND it's pretty ugly(he says so himself)!!!.........a whole head of hair totally knotted up.........???????

Apparently it gets better with time, there is a process.........the hair continues to lock up???


Yes there are pictures.........they will arrive tomorrow!

My BIG 50 countdown...........

stay tuned!

Ya I know, it's two months away.........but I am challenging myself to do 50 GREAT things before(or around)my birthday........let's say between now and April 15th! I guess I shouldn't say GREAT.........it will just be 50 things I want to do, 50 things to mark my birthday!

Why so early you ask?........well 50 is LOTS, and will take some doing!!....so I need a BIG head start!!!

NO.............

I'm not happy with this number(50)........haven't had one yet(a bad number) so I guess I'm due!!!

PLEASE don't e-mail me or call and say..........."it's just a number" or, "you're only as old as you feel"........BULL CRAP to that.........it's not just a number..........it's 50....and for me it's not good!

50 means.........for sure I have more life behind me than I do in front of me!
50 means.........by now I should have most things figured out, and I felt less confused when I was in my 20.......go figure???
nope........I'm not done, more to come for sure......stay tuned!!

Overal my 50 things is going to be VERY positive...........but I just feel like grumbling to start out with...get the bad out of the way first......LOL!!!!
