Well, since I'm bascially the only woerner not within 100 miles of the all the other Woerners, I hear most of the news last......which is why I was basically in mourning all day monday to find out Meemaw and Pawpaw sold their house!!
Nobody asked my permission?!!
I seriously just layed on my bed for forever just feeling so sad about it.....I didn't even feel like that when we moved the 3 times my family moved. I mean gosh all the memories I have from their house.."ice skating" on that random tile patch in the basement (which she covered up..WHY!!), our cousin sleep-overs after family reunion....that mini fake pool table she had that Jase and Richard played catch with the balls instead and one of them nailed me right in the eye..us girls crimping each others hair..I remember the adults making us stay in the basement, with the 500878784777309 christmas presents until THEY were ready to open them. They should've made us stay upstairs where we weren't tempted to open them all night long. Oh man just so many fond memories...most of them at christmastime but still....who would've thought that when I was down this past Christmas would be my last one there? If I knew I could've at least said goodbye to the old place....
Oh well. Now my Christmas memories are made at Mom and Dads's house, surrounded by the next generation of Oglesbys/hawbakers/loerkes.....in a couple years we'll all have our own kids that we're sending to the basement to play with the presents while us adults get a break.
Oh life never stops changing. Change may be one of the things I resist most in my life...I hate change. I do not do well around it. My body goes crazy, my emotions get out of wack....really, I mean it took me like 2 months to get over the change of living here in Oklahoma...very far away from my family...no friends here, not knowing where to go or how to get around....
Anyway....Matt's mom works very closely with the woman who interviewed me to nanny her son and she told Mom that she wants to hire me. I am so excited because her kid...oh mygosh he is THE CUTEST THING ever. Carly, to me, is also the cutest thing ever....and so are Leslie and Jojo's kids.....heck, all kids are the cutest things ever to me....but Henry, this baby oh man he stole my heart the minute I saw him. I can't even imagine how I will feel when I have my own child in my arms....
Well....enough for one day.

ames. do you think maclaren and erica will do christmas with us since it's the only holiday we all get together? what if they don't? what if he moves to cherryville and we never see him again! do you know that no matter if we all end up in the bham area maclaren and erica will stay in charlotte or gastonia? have you heard that song "i don't love you much, do i?" i think it's randy travis and another chick. That's what I want to say to Maclaren at rehearsal but probably can't. they're coming down on Saturday. Erica too, so it should be fun.
they have no choice but to come at christmas. it's required. matt and i dont make a 1000+ mile drive for nuttin. although, he only came for like 5 hours this past year so...the deal is this: they gotta learn that eventually you gotta berak away from your parents. they claim erica cant, she loves them too much. well poop on that- i love my family too and i moved all the way out here, didn't i? only to see you guys twice a year! sheesh.
havent heard that song.
i'm serious about collaberating (sp??) on a rehearsal dinner speech together. maybe then i wont cry.
p.s. i just looked up that song and it Emmy Lou harris who sings it
