A New Year Is On The Way!

I am so ready for a New Year! I feel like I may can take a breath. This year has been so crazy with my dad being sick and Lonnie going off to college. These were very big events in our lives.
Things seem to be getting better with both of these situations, but I still seem like my world is falling apart most days. I just can't feel relaxed, I always feel uptight and stressed. I need a good LONG vacation!!! Merlin want him and me to go on a cruise, That seems wondereful, but I do hate to leave the children. I know we need to go away together and I know we will, but there I go again feeling like the world can't survive without me, we all know it can! Just pray for me and my crazy life, that should be enough to keep us all busy!!

Weary Week!!!

Well, it has been a very long and exhausting week this week!! I have had so many emotions running through my head... anger,sadness,aggravation,hurt. I have just not been able to function normally this week at all. I can't go into any details, but all I can say is please pray for my family! As if it isn't hard enough raising 2 teenagers, trying to keep an extended family going is a pain also.

I think I'm tired of trying to keep everyone on the right track and taking care of everyone. I want to be taken care of for a change. I don't want to pay bills, make sure every one is at doctor appointments, dance class, school, etc. I just want to be pampered and not have to worry if we have the money to do something or not. My husband is very good, but he is also very spoiled and he couldn't do these things on his own. I guess that's why God put us together, so we could complete each other.

I guess everybody is ready for Christmas? I am, but not really feeling the spirit this year. I'm usually really excited, but not this year. I mean I have much to be thankful for, my father getting better and everything, but just thankful we have each day together.

The Joys of Parenting!!

Some time I wonder if I will ever get this parenting thing down pat?!? You think you finally got the hang of it and something happens you can never imagine. I know God has to keep us on our toes, but he has really been on be lately. I guess I should not blame God, he gets blamed for enough he has nothing to do with. No matter how these things come my way I know I have to depend on him to carry me through them. I thank God for his arms & shoulders. I know I have used them a lot in the last year.
