The Path of Least Resistence

Wow, it has certainly been a long time. A long, long time.

I was at my mother's house over Thanksgiving, and she asked me why I had stopped blogging. I thought about it for a minute, but I really didn't have a good answer. I would like to blame time. Time seems like a good scapegoat. I'm just too busy sounds like a good answer, but really, it's not.

Like it or not, time is going to keep moving along with it's own agenda. It doesn't care how busy we are, or how tired we are, or even how lonely we are. It's job, it's sole purpose is......to continue. To move along so to speak.

That is kind of where I am now. I am just moving along. Floating down time's river feeling as helpless as a leaf in the wind. I work, I eat, I sleep....repeat... Hopefully one day I will find myself.

The kids are growing older by the day. Innocence is fading away much faster than I hoped. Both boys are great kids, and I am very proud of each. Christopher is brave and stubborn, and I like to think I see a lot of myself in him. Aidan is sweet and manipulative, and too smart for his own good. He certainly takes after his mother more than me.

It seems so strange to me that two kids from the same parents can be so different. I guess is shouldn't. My brother and I are not very alike either. He is much quieter and much smaller than me, but he was born with that same Thornton "argument" gene. We can debate with the best of them, and Christopher and Aidan are well on their way to filling our shoes.

I am really tired right now, so I will move on. Hopefully this weekend with bring good weather, and good blogging.
