My goal:

"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Dancing Queen

I was listening to Christmas music last night when Scott got home. Ainsley was dancing in the living room. Scott comes in and dances with her. I come to dance too.... Ainsley pushes me back into the kitchen. I was not allowed to dance with them. I stay there for a few minutes and then try to dance with them again. This time she sits me on the couch and tells me to stay. How did I get cut out by my own child?
