My Name

Malia had this name thing on her blog, so I followed link. I think most of it isn't true. What do you think?

You Are Seductive and Ruthless
You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.
You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.
You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.

You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way.
And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life.
You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

Happy Birthday Howard


Happy Birthday Howard. Do they celebrate birthdays in heaven? I have thought about you all day and wondered where we would be and what we would be doing if you were still alive. I have met so many people who divorced after 25-30 years. We would be married 31 years in Aug.

Happy Birthday Spencer (yesterday)

I couldn't get to a computer yesterday to say:

Happy Birthday, Spencer. You are now a very old 29 years old. It about broke my heart when I asked how old you were going to be and you said you are now older than Nick.

Spencer was due on Christmas Day. I remember telling Howard that he would be born at home unless he waited until after the other three kids opened their presents. Well, by the time I went into labor on Jan 3rd, I was wishing he would have come on Christmas Day. At that point, there had been no New Year's baby born, so i was excited when I woke up with some mild contractions. I called Brenda, and she said they were inducing her friend that day. I told her that was cheating. We got up, took the boys to Brenda's and went to the doctor appt I had that day. Then we went shopping for Howard's birthday presents cuz his birthday was Jan 6th. Mild contractions all day, doing nothing. The doctor wanted to see me again that afternoon and I wasn't doing anything.

That evening about 10 pm I headed to the hospital. Still no progress. In fact, they said they would keep me for two hours and if no progress, they would send me home. Well, in two hours a little progress, so they kept me. After a very restless night I decided Spencer was gonna stay just where he was. After all, it was nice and warm in my tummy. But finally just after twelve noon he was born. It had been a hard labor, I had finally pushed before they told me to cuz his head just wasn't down enough to do anything. When he was born he had a bright red mark over his left eye and the back of his head just before his skull. I was upset for days over that, but they finally faded. But for several years when he cried, they would show up again. Thank heavens he was finally born.
