Mommy of Many®

I’ve been quiet over here for a few days. I’ve had plenty of things to talk about, but just no time or energy to get them typed out. Sometimes it’s when there’s the most to talk about that I get quiet. Still working on that.

In the last few days I’ve dealt with bullying/lying/stealing/the weight of judgement/angry teens/changed schedules and I took a little walk through my past to relive my oldest daughter’s birth and to wish her a happy 22nd birthday. There was also work and school a trip to the park, homework…Ok, I’ve been busy!

Thinking about schooling for next year is weighing on me. I have no idea where we’ll be. I don’t yet know what I’m going to have to work with. I have to find the best fit for Max. I guess I’m stressed.

On a positive note, I’ve started reading a book I was asked to review and so far, I really like it! I’ll tell you more about it when I’m done and have a review for you.

For a little while today, I’m going to put all the things that are plaguing my overworked head on hold and take my 4 youngest to meet up with my sister and my niece for a play date at the park. We don’t see them very often and it’ll be nice for the kids to play with their cousin! And tomorrow another of my sisters is flying in for a visit. Good Stuff! I need it!

I’ll leave you with a little Then and Now visual. I’m so VERY VERY proud of this young woman and all she’s setting out to do and be. All the hopes and dreams I held for her when I looked into her sweet, newborn face are being surpassed. Sometime I’ll sit down and write our story. But for now-

Me and Kateri in 1989. I was 17 and she was about a month old.

Fast forward 21 3/4 yrs

Good Stuff!
