Seems like everything is just crazy right now...It just doesn't feel right. Is it in the air or what? I hope things become calm again and things slow down a little. It is scary to think about how fast time is going by. Less than 10 months I'll be retiring. I have worked some kind of job or another since I was 15. I have never been without a job. Working at UT for 30 years is just amazing to me. I look back and can't believe I have done this. During the time it seemed hard to go to work everyday...and some days harder than others. Lots of chances in my life, my family, work and work coworkers, bosses, etc. It has been a crazy ride. I'm glad it is about over. I can hardly wait to stay home and do things that are fun. I hope nothing changes that I don't get to keep Taigen. That would just break my heart if I don't get to keep him. I think we will have so much fun. I never got to stay home with my kids and I'm looking so forward to this. I hope I can build up some way to make money a little along the way so I don't have to do any kind of outside work. I might keep one more child, just as much for the money as for Taigen some company and someone to play with. I don't know yet. But I can hardly wait til Feburary 28, 2011. Whew..
