Once again, it has been quite a while since I posted anything. And it's not because there wasn't things to post, it's because there were so many things going on I just didn't have time. And while that may be a bit of a cop out (honestly, I am sure I could have played a few games less on the Kindle Fire) we have been pretty busy. I actually said to some one last week, "I can't remember when I didn't have to schedule in my Fun Times on the family calendar." Life has been flying by so much faster as the boys get older. NL is 14 and a full on teenager with mood swings, girlfriends, and even some acne (though not bad at all). JC is 7 and mimicking his older brother so much it's about to drive me insane. Mostly because he has the attitude of his 14 yr old brother instead of the sweetness of a 7 yr boy. JW has been busy with work and Brew Club. I have been busy with work, and volunteering/chairing things at the school and becoming more involved with the Brew Club too. I have been building new relationships through the club and really loving it.
Things still have a lot of ups and downs but more ups than downs lately. I still don't trust him very much. But maybe just a bit now. I still have a lot of hurt and anger but it has started to subside some. I am not sure if it's actually healing though. But I am still trying to take note of the small things and find the good in it all.
The weather here is finally starting to feel like fall weather, which is my FAVORITE season. So I think that is helping me in my happiness right now. I just hope it will last for a bit and actually seem like we have a season instead of just a few weeks of nice weather before the cold/rain of winter comes. (Unless in typical TX fashion we don't even get a cold wintertime...LOL) But for now I will just enjoy it while I can. And in typical JC fashion he told my mother in law on Saturday, at the grocery store while in the produce section that "We all need to go someplace warmer, like Indonesia." She laughed and said that my be too warm of a place to go.
And while I am trying to keep with remembering the small things...here are the many highlights from the weekend.
Friday evening I got to spend some much needed girl time with the Ladies of the Brew Club.
Saturday was baseball and I just love watching JC play (even when he strikes out) and then Saturday evening I got to spend some even MUCH MORE needed girl time with my best friend, C. And then we had some friends little girls spend the night (JW and NL were the babysitters for a change!) so Sunday was filled with lots of cuteness and fun and playing, as well as some explosions of PINK that my house is not used to at all! I really love little girls BUT I am still so glad we only have boys! LOL. Sunday evening was spent making homemade baked potato soup along side JW making homemade chili. And then the best part of it was JC snuggling with me on the couch before bedtime and saying, "I love you so much, Mommy." And then falling asleep next to me right after.
I must say today life is good.
