Brag Time

I am so very proud of my children. Literally, my chest swells with pride when I think of them.

As I mentioned earlier in the week, the boys have stepped up to the plate once again.

They do what needs to be done.

They do what is best for their family.

They did not learn these things from their father. In fact, he taught them the opposite. They figured it out on their own. They know the value of family. They honor their family. They love their family.

And my daughters, they are spirit and light. They are fighters. They are real women. Like their mother, if you knock them down, they will get right back up.

I am so very blessed.

Truly, no one is more blessed than I am. My children and I have been through numerous challenges, including a trauma of one of our own. Many people would expect me to be displeased with the way my life has proceeded. Not so. Think: do the people who have everything and want for nothing realize the strength that they possess? For that matter, can they really possess strength if they have never been tested?

I am blessed.

My children are my heart.

Curses! I am trying to simplify my categories and in doing so now have John, Hannah and Elizabeth listed under family, but James and Rebekah are lost somewhere in cyberspace, presumably under the umbrella of family, as well. Funny, they aren’t listed. Nor will the widget allow me to add them as they have (supposedly) already been added.

Curse you, internet gods!

But wait! I think I’ve figured this out! Hold on…

Nah. Oh, well. I’ve reworked it to the best of my ability.

Ex

I called my ex-husband today to give him my new cell phone number. It is a Chicago number (on Kyle’s plan) and I know that he has probably been ‘researching’ Kyle ever since I gave it to him. I just wanted to make sure he had it, as Rebekah lives with him. In case of an emergency and all of that. Not that he called me when John had been run over by a car.

Why can’t that man let go of me? Why won’t he just let me be? It’s sad really. Ten years and he’s still hanging on.
