A message to my English class

Hi everyone, I'm a 44 year old woman who's been dead twice, had 3 brain surgeries and raised (or still am raising a few) 11 children. My advice to the young, don't take a minute of your life for granted. My advice to us parents: Don't blink and try not to sleep. The years fly by quicker than a hummingbird can beat its wings. Most importantly, always remember the words from Peter Pan: "Mrs. Darling first heard of Peter when she was tidying up her children's minds. It is the nightly custom of every good mother after her children are asleep to rummage in their minds and put things straight for the next morning, repacking into their proper places the many articles that have wandered during the day. If you could stay awake (but ofcourse you can't) you would see your own mother doing this, and you would find it very interesting to watch her. It is quite like tidying up drawers. You would see her on her knees, I expect, lingering humorously over some of your contents, wondering where on earth you had picked this thing up, making discoveries sweet and not so sweet, pressing this to her cheek as if it were as nice as a kitten, and hurriedly stowing that out of sight. When you wake up in the morning...on the top, beautifully aired, are spread out your prettier thoughts, ready for you to put on." Lets put them on!

So there it is, I guess, my test blog.
