It’s the ending of a three day weekend and tomorrow will be the start of the last week of the 2009/2010 School Year. I am so ready for the summer! Even though it has been a pretty good school year…I am exhausted and ready for a break and time to get my home together.
Friday was my birthday. I had such a great birthday. I felt so loved by so many through their birthday wishes, and I had a fun party on Friday Evening with some great friends! It really was a great day. I am very lucky to have such great people in my life. I hope I am half as good a friend to them as they are to me.
The kids and I spent Saturday at the pool. We went to one of the Hotel/Casinos here in town where they had a live Acoustic Band playing. It was so nice to lay by the pool and play in the water with the kids. It was a nice relaxing day at the pool!
Yesterday, when I got out of bed…Erin thought she was having a seizure. After observing yesterday & today…she has been having minor seizures on and off. This has concerned me…because usually when she has minor seizures like she has been having…a bigger one soon to follows. Therefore, I haven’t left her side too much. I’m hoping that rest will do the trick and snap her out of the pattern she is used to. I’ll keep you posted.
Recently, I have had some huge decisions to make in my personal life, some that most people are not aware of.
I never realized how challenging it was to be in a relationship while raising my children. I think I believed that no one would ever love me again or want to be with me again after I divorced 7 years ago. My thoughts were “who would want to be in a relationship with a woman who has 3 children AND who all have special needs? ” (no matter how great the kiddos are!) I always knew it would have to be an extra EXTRA special man. It’s a huge responsibility, and a huge commitment. That’s for sure!
Well, as many of you know…I have been a relationship for the past 6 months…but not sure if it is time for me to go at it alone for a little while. Not because I don’t believe Jase is wonderful…because he is and I care about him deeply. I will never deny that. However, I find myself losing myself in wanting someone or wanting a relationship itself…During the summer, while the kiddos are gone I will be doing a lot of soul searching. Jase will not be out of my life. He is still VERY important to me, it is just time to work on me…Who knows what the future will bring…
With that said…I heard this song last night …and it really spoke to me. I thought I would share.
It’s me, Jorden. Just updating you briefly on this past week. Friday was the start of finals. (uggggh) My Math final was so hard. The last day of finals is Wednesday, and then we are out of school for the summer!! Yay! Today we all headed to our friend Pastor Ron’s house to help him pack up for his move. We then headed to the pool at a Casino near by and hung out and listened to live music. It was cool! Then we went to my Mom’s friend Joy’s house where we barbecued steaks and hung out. It was Mom’s birthday yesterday so we celebrated with her today. It was nice to spend time with her.
One thing that I did yesterday that I am really excited about is that I made a group on Facebook called “On fire for Christ Jesus” <—-You can click on this link to check it out and I would love it if you joined and passed it on! It would be cool to spread the word!
It’s pretty late on this Thursday evening and my intention was to post a video of the girls getting their hair done…however, that will come tomorrow due to some technical difficulties…so all I can say is that we are about to end a year of…
Erin & Jorden are ending their 7th grade year in Middle School..and they are excited to see what 8th grade brings and how it broadens their horizons. They have grown so much in this last year…physically, socially, & spiritually. It’s intriguing and exciting to see!
Taylor is ending her 11th grade year in High School. Next year she will be a Senior. She will be the “Little” Big Woman on campus. We will be entering new territory next year, EVEN new for me! Even though it is scary and a challenge for me to let her go…I am trusting that it will all work out and her path will be exactly where it supposed to.
I am ending my 33rd year tonight…and will venture on to 34 in a few…and I am quite curious to see what God has in store for me. This year has not been what I expected…not at all at the least. I have entered in to new surroundings and have found and cherished some new relationships in my life, and sadly some have gone in ways I could have never imagined. My faith has had moments of ups and downs…but through it all Hope, Love, & Faith still stand strong. I’m not sure what is in store for me next…but an adventure it will be I’m sure…it seems to ALWAYS be with me!!
