On being the eldest

I have four siblings.  Two brothers and two sisters.  That makes me the eldest of five.

Most of the time I would say I’m very loving and maternal towards them.  I’m sort of like a den mother type. 

But of course siblings can piss you off. 

We don’t fight often, but when we do, things escalate pretty quickly.  We get MEAN.

When you fight with a sibling, you don’t hold back.  

My youngest sister sent me this yesterday to say the sun reminds her of me. 



Ha ha ha.  😂 I have to say, I agree.  

Optimism is seeing Spring in February

Spring is in the air!

Yeah, right. 😒

Anyway, at least the ugly month of February is coming to an end.

The beginning of March always makes me happy. I see hope and warmth around the corner, even in frost bitten Chicago.

The last pic, of the extremely colorful bunch of florals, is of a because we know you love them bouquet that my husband and son picked up for me last night. ❤️
