It's sunday. I have a million things I should be doing, laundry, cleaning, packing, homework, walking the dog, ect. What am I doing instead? Writing this and chatting it up with my amazing cousin in Germany. She is... well I can't quite think of a word that describes her well enough.
Katie lives in Germany, her husband is in the Army and they are stationed there, he's currently in Iraq again and she is basically all alone out there. Despite that she never whines or bitches or moans (too much) about it. She is so strong, she just pulls herself up and moves on. I've never in my life met anyone else as strong as she is. To be totally mushy she is an inspiration to me and should be to everyone.
On top of that she has this great sense of humor! A little whacked out but great. She's also a kick butt mom, a great listener and gives the best advice. She's just so cool and I am so lucky I know her.
So in the spirit of my new years resolutions to do what I should be doing instead of what I want to be doing I am going to end this, and head out to work on homework until my kiddo is done with his cartoon. Then we are off to clean! Oh goody!
