36 years old? Could it REALLY Be??

As I sit here 4 days away from the 'big 36' ( I think everything beyond 35 deserves 'the BIG' in front of it) I wonder where the heck has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday I was turning 21 learning the hard lessons of a long night of drunken debotchery and regretting the next morning whatever it was that I couldn't remember from the night before. (Lynn or Rita, if you are reading this I *know* YOU know what I'm talking about) Now where I am 15 years later, married, 2 kids, trying to dig outa debt and finding myself contemplating a boob job. Yeah, I said it...a boob job. (Erich said for my 40th I could get one) Who knew that having two kids would do this to my once perky chest??? Oh, ok, ya'll did!!?? Nobody told me! (Admittedly, though, it was worth it when I look at Reagan and Kinley's quirky little grins.) It seem so strange to me that I am so close to the 'big 40'. I don't feel that old nor do I think I look that old. (well except my boobs, perhaps) Anyways I decided to make a list of things that Kristen needs to do while 36 years old and they are as follows:
*Learn and Practice Patience
*Work out 3-5 Times per Week
*Lose That Weight
*Keep Up with Laundry
*Teach Kids to Read
*Teach Kids to Make Beds
*Get up BEFORE Kids
*Read More Books
*Be Kinder to Erich
*Take Kids to YMCA 3x per Week
*Clean My Car Out Weekly
*Catch Up on Kids' Scrapbooks

Ok that was all I could come up with off the cuff but I'm going to try to do these things and update my list as I see fit.

So as I blow out my 36 candles on Sunday I will be praying for the energy and strength to keep up with all my new goals.
