Wow... where has the time gone? It's the middle of May already.
My Shae-Lyn turned 11 yrs old, I am finding it very difficult to say that she is 11 years old!!! I keep wanting to say she is 9 or 10 (sshhh! Don't tell her). She's done so well in school, learning lifes lessons are the hardest thing for me to sit back and 'watch' my children go through. Although, I have to say they seem to be able to roll with the punches of life and get right back up and move forward.
It was also my Dads birthday on the 8th... such an emotional day for me, that and his last day on earth. My brother and his family and my kids and I met up at moms house and we did some work outside and then ate lunch... Mom gave us a photo of my dad when he was a baby. It was a great way to honor him. So many days I think of what he is missing by not being here part of my life, my childrens life. Since my hope lies that he is in peace in Heaven, I guess ultimately I think of how much I miss him and the dream every child has, but probably doesn't realize until they are an adult, the dream of their parents being a part of their life for a very long time, for most of their lifetime.
Mothers Day came along with my birthday... and it went. But, Monday rolled around and I went to lunch with my girfriends.... what a great idea. We have discussed having a birthday lunch club... meeting up once a month or 6 wks to celebrate birthdays.
>>Side note, I watched The Middle, Mothers Day episode...she suggests having a post Mothers Day celebration that is truly for Mom the day after, great idea!
The month has been amazing just as I knew May would be and it is only half way done.
The reunion with my childhood best friends has been so soothing, so natural. While we have so much to catch up on it doesn't feel like it we have missed all the years together. I can not wait to see her face to face. To sit and talk with her... what is so interesting is that we experienced the same things in life in so many ways.
WAIT!!! Did I mention that I have been bumped up to PTA President? Yes that is right, when my husband asked me what I thought, I elloquently (ok in debbieisms as my husband calls it) said something I had read, God doesn't give me something that he has not already put within me the ability to do! So, it's all on God... I will succeed because of Him... as I do in all areas of my life. Half way there...whoa oh..Livin on prayer... because of my Faith it is all Good, all the TIME!
