Another one bites the dust.
Life has thrown so many curve balls in my direction this year that I am stuck in a constant whirlwind, never knowing which end is up. Things have been moving at such a fast pace and for once (in the last three years), I have found myself insanely happy. My children still come first and always will, but I am also beginning to put myself first again.
Friday night I celebrated Mama Bear’s college graduation from college. Mama Bear’s husband is a nice guy and while I know he supports his wife’s decision to go back to school, he has not always made it easy. So for her to finish and with honors, I was ecstatic!
Saturday was a chaotic day filled with driving, my little brother’s graduation party, more driving, visiting with Melissa, visiting with Doug, Tiffany and Lucas and then home, where I crashed for the night at 11pm and slept until about 10:30am. Something I have not done in ages! However, my plans to sleep all day were rudely interrupted by Doug and Lucas requesting special dips for the race that they did not even watch.
And today, well, I got a lot accomplished. I made decisions regarding mine and the kiddos future. Decisions I am still unsure about, but am willing to tackle head on. There are a lot of changes that will be taking place in the near future.
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
–Reinhold Niebuhr

Life rarely goes how we expect it to, and as hard as it is, God knows what’s going to happen for us and we just have to trust him. I hope the best for you and your family and I hope you can make some resolution on the things you are contemplating!

I’m trying to relax but make changes too — it can get so overwhelming. Good luck in yours!

How much money can I make just holding up a cardboard sigh begging for money?

I figured it has my name I might as well keep it.
Picnic in Central Park was awesome, then we watched tv at his house and possibly made out a little.
HILARIOUS story to tell you.
