Mama Knows Best

When I mentioned in my last post that life has thrown me a few curve balls, I did not mean to leave y’all hanging for so long. With the beginning of summer, I have myself so insanely busy with the munchkins, school, some personal matters and spending time with friends. Tiffany, the kids and myself have been watching the guys in all their ridiculousness and laughing our heads off at their attempts of being “manly.”

• Classes are going fairly decent this semester, but I am always bogged down with mountains of homework. I am in class all day on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. By the end of class, I am ready to head home, except that I don’t. I take Lucas to work every Tuesday and Thursday evening after class, then head home myself. Rinse and repeat each week, unless of course, I get those early morning phone calls that he needs a ride home in the mornings.

• Munchkins are fabulous! Both of them are growing and learning so much! Ethan is all set for pre-school and could not be more excited about it. Addison is learning so many new words and pronouncing them very clearly. Both had a follow-up appointment with the dietitian to be sure they were back on track. Ethan is the size of a 6 year old according to the charts and Addison is back into the 60% for height and weight. Hallelujah!

For once, I am putting myself first and taking every opportunity possible. Never again do I want to know what it feels like to be unhappy, so I am making some changes. Some big, some little. I will celebrate my dark circles and enjoy life once again.  Although I am spending the bulk of my time with the same group of people, I am still feeling better.  I am no longer waiting for another person to agree to go places and do things-I am just going.  I am ceasing the moment.
