About Me	I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific. Lily Tomlin Breaking News....This Just in: I MARRIED THE GREATEST BEST GUY EVER!!!!! I'm short and getting older!!! We bought a house in Reedsburg I guess we are going to be planning a wedding soon NON STRESSFUL at least we hope. I don't go out much, movies, camping, swimming thats about it I can honestly say July was the last time I was out and about and that was only for a bach party... We had Coralynn Rae , July 26 2011 7:21 pm 4lbs 5oz 17.5" She was 9 wks early and is doing well in the NICU Did you ever wonder how the mothers of premature babies are chosen? Somehow, I visualize God hovering over Earth, selecting his instruments for propagation with great care and deliberation. As he observes, he instructs his angels to take notes in a giant ledger. "Beth Armstrong, son. Patron Saint, Matthew. Marjorie Forrest, daughter. Patron Saint, Celia. Carrie Rutledge, twins. Patron Saint ... give her Gerard. He's used to profanity."

She has just the right amount of selfishness." The angel gasps, "Selfishness?! Is that a virtue?" God nods. "If she can't separate herself from the child occasionally, she will never survive. Yes, here is a woman whom I will bless with a child less than perfect. She doesn't know it yet, but she is to be envied. She will never take for granted a spoken word. She will never consider a step ordinary. When her child says 'mama' for the first time, she will be witness to a miracle and know it. I will permit her to see clearly the things I see – ignorance, cruelty, prejudice – and allow her to rise above them. She will never be alone. I will be at her side every minute of every day of her life because she is doing my work as surely as she is here by my side." "And what about her Patron Saint?" asks the angel, his pen poised in the ai...(read more)
