Well, it has been awhile again. I keep meaning to record my thoughts and life's events in my blog, mainly so I can remember and keep up but life keeps getting in the way. LOL
The kiddos are back in school, Morgan turned 14 (yikes) and my Mom is moving up here. Things are definately changing rapidly. Volleyball and soccer have both started and I don't see a free weekend for a couple of months. It is tiring but I wouldn't change a moment of it. The boys have started Boy Scouts and they are both really looking forward to that. Mom says Daddy would be very proud of them. He was an Eagle Scout, a leader and sat on the council as did my Grandpa. I hope that they will see it thru to Eagle Scout but we'll go year to year and see how it goes. Morgan has stayed with Girl Scouts so maybe....
Mom and I took off to the lake on Wednesday, she hasn't been back since Daddy died and I SOOOOOO needed to get away for a couple of days. I haven't dealt with the whole death thing yet, it is too big and too emotional. It's wrapped up in it's own little compartment in my heart and I'm sure will unleash itself on me when I am least expecting it. I have too much to worry about with the kids and Mom to take time to deal with what I am feeling. It sounds horrible but right now I think that the one emotion that is leaking thru is anger. Anger at Daddy for not taking better care of himself. He had so much to live for....BUT prayerfully he has eternal life which is promised to be far better than anything life on earth can offer us.
Anyway, we went to the lake and we enjoyed it so much. Of course Lillianne came along with us and Hubby was left to get the kids ready for school, on the bus, volleyball practice, soccer practice, dinner, homework and the rest of the fun stuff that I normally do. I called after the first full day and he raves about how well the kids listened, home work got done right away, dinner was done, baths were taken, teeth were brushed and they had even made their lunches for the next day. ALL without one bit of fussing......I'm leaving more often. Mom, Lillianne and I enjoyed sleeping in and shopping all on no one's schedule but our own. I got to read a book from cover to cover in one day and Lillianne enjoyed the one on one Mommy and MeMaw attention that she got. Hubby took Morgan to her soccer game on Saturday and then brought her, one of her friends and the boys over to the lake where we celebrated her birthday and boated. I was planning to come home Friday for her birthday but she informed me that she REALLY, REALLY wanted to go to the football game with her friends and would much rather come to the lake. The two girls babysat while we went out with Mom and another couple on Saturday night to a Seafood restaurant. All you can eat crab legs....yum. It was a fun way to celebrate our anniversary and when we got back, Mom made Margarita's. Mom really doesn't know how to make Margarita's so she was winging it. I later figure out, after the headache this morning that she mixed an entire bottle of Jose Cuervo into the one bottle of mix. Good gracious.....I was comfortably numb to be sure. LOL Mom kept saying that she was so glad that we decided to come to the lake, she was dreading coming for the first time but that it really did her good in the end. It was sad to know that boating today would be the last for this summer and that this one summer altered all of our lives forever.
Tommorow brings packing Mom up, getting ready for the movers on Wednesday. I'm so excited to have her up here with us, I just wish that it would have been under different circumstances. I can't imagine how hard it is for her. Just thinking of losing Kurt takes my breath away and causes and ache that I can't describe.
I don't know when I'll be back again. My brother is coming for a couple of weeks with his kids before he leaves for a year in Korea. We've got some fun stuff planned to do so that will keep us busy and I have classes to finish.
Well, till next time.....
