April 19, 2000

Two more days until I turn (gulp!) 30 years old! I can't believe it ... 30! I'm not that afraid of growing old, but it feels like there is so much more that I should be doing by now. I feel like if I list out the things I've done in my life, the list would be pretty boring and short.

There are people that have traveled the world or done truly outstanding things by the time they're 30. The most outstanding thing I've done is had Max -- not that I don't appreciate that feat! I have a lot to be thankful for and I shouldn't focus on the negative. I just feel so strongly that I'm supposed to do more. My parents own their own company and it is quite successful. It has allowed them to have three houses and retire at 52. My mom says that it is in the cards for me to own my own business since I had such examples growing up. The resources are there for me, I just wish I could come up with an idea. Anyway, no more negative talk.

Max is doing really well this week except for one thing...whining. He's only 17 months so sometimes I wonder what he has to whine about, but he goes through a rough patch at about 4:00 everyday where he whines and cries and fusses. I offer him various things to drink or eat, but they aren't what he wants. Eventually we end up playing outside or going for a walk. Sometimes I just throw my arms up in the air and let him fuss for awhile before even trying to help him. Sometimes he appears to be frustrated with himself. Sound familiar, anyone?

Well, I'd better go -- work is calling!

Until next time...
