you say it's your birthday.......

ok, so today, december 11 is the 18th birthday of my middle child.......it is a mother's perogative to be wistful on such days..especially when it seems that time gets away from us so quickly....i especially enjoyed the horoscope for today's birthday in the danville paper: You Born Today: You are an intense, thoughtful person whi is serious about what you value. You're extremely goal-oriented and purposeful. You are also physically energetic. This is a powerful combination and makes you influential in your world. You always recover from drastic setbacks because you have an indomitabel spirit. Focus on your closest partnerships this year. Wow....that is our boy in a nutshell.....and may I mention that our child shares this day with another December 11 birthday boy...Senator John Kerry, who also resembles that lofty description......we as a family joked at supper last night that if Kerry's closest partnership is with a rich ketchup heiress, then maybe there is a rich mustard heiress out there waiting for our boy........
