Moving on…
36. I enjoy going to the beach
37. I’ve had braces for 14 years total
38. I can’t wait to get them off
39. I’ll be very selective about who does my children’s braces
40. I want to go to the casino for a night
41. I think I’d spend ALL my money that night
42. I want my kids to each have their own room
43. My favorite cereal is “cinnamon toast crunch”
44. I love spending the day in NYC (any takers, lets get me a sitter and go)
45. One of my dreams is to see ‘Blue Man Group’
46. With Michael there too
47. I want my nose pierced
48. Mike doesn’t
49. So, it’ll never happen
50. I have no birth marks
51. I worry Aidan will one day join the service
52. And, leave this world too early
53. But I would cherish that he did it for ALL of us to have Freedom
54. I want Cameron’s husband to treat her like a QUEEN
55. And ALL the time
56. I hate when people use words to tear me down
57. I’m highly allergic to apples
58. But only raw apples
59. So I enjoy apple crisp
60. and apple pie for that matter
61. I worry about running out of things in life
62. So, I like to stock up on stuff and hide it in my basement
63. I’m pretty scared of spiders
64. and ants too (ughh, I’m grossed out as I type this)
65. I’ve been told I’m cold and insensitive
66. I think about that now everyday of my life
67. I have eczema (oh so annoying)
68. I HATE to hear my children cry
69. But, I pretend it doesn’t bother me (that’s a coping thing, to help me get through the moment)
70. Inside me, my heart hurts whenever I hear them cry
Stay tuned for the rest of the list tomorrow, have a great day!

Hey Rachel,
I’ll make you apple crisp next week. Actually in3 or 4 days. Saturday or Sunday whichever you prefer. Don’t let anyones negative talk stay with you every day. You are NOT cold and insensitive. Actually you are one of the most sensitive people I know. I love you and can’t wait to see you.

Cold and insensitive? Who are they TALKING about? Not you.
I didn’t know you were allergic to apples. I hear that’s pretty rare…my friend Cheryl’s DH is highly allergic to a couple of varieties only.
I hate to hear my kids cry and have to pretend it doesn’t bother me too. I really hate it.
((((Rachel))))

Stephanie- I’m not gonna let you fail me on the apple crisp next week! You’re on!
Amy – I’m glad I’m not the only mom who does the “fake it to make it” thing!
Amy- you are so sweet! And, lets go this spring, like you said, before it gets too hot! I would want you to enjoy the trip so you’ll go again…
Dennis – maybe this summer sometime??? Ask your mom to watch my kids and we have a deal!
My kids have no choice with my genetics for braces, the odds are like 9 out of 10 they’ll need braces (not good odds, you know)!
Mere- you’re too sweet!

Rach I have known you for 14 years (one of which you were my teacher and I know that was frustrating) and you have always been a model of love and kindness and encouragement to Michael so much that I looked for the qualities you had in the person I am soon going to be proposing too!!
People say mean and insensative things when they are hurt and scared. Only their insecurities!!
