On our 7 minute drive to school, I was listening to a news story on the radio that mentions the White House and from the back seat I hear……


D: “I see that white house”


Me:  “That’s not the White House they were talking about.”


D: “Where’s that white house she talk about?”


Me:  “It’s a special building in Washington DC, where the President of the United States lives.”


D:  “Have we been to his house?”


Me:  “You haven’t been there, but I was in the White House once, a long time ago.”


D:  “Are there Army guys there?”


Me:  “There are lots special guards there.”


D: “Do they have guns?”


Me:  “Yes, some of them have guns.”


D: “Did the guy that lives there come and talk to you.”


Me: “No, I did not get to talk to the President of the United States.”


D: “That not very polite.  You should talk to people when they come to your house. Is that right, Mom?”

A very wise woman once told me that life is about the story we tell at the end of the chapter. If statistics are to be believed, I’m closer to the end of my life than the beginning. I’ve quit the race to see who can have the office with best view or the most impressive job title. I’ve made peace with the fact there are some of my early dreams/goals that will never be realized. I love who I am and the women I have become AND boy do I have stories to tell!
