"Childhood Memories"- Day 22

NC @ Christmas circa 1970, with my mother & cousin...

                                             

"Hello Winter"- Day 20

Key root word here might be hell...what was I thinking when I did two full online grad classes at the same time? This is my winter- reading & when I finish that reading some more & when I finish that watching videos then more reading and writing. The courses are super interesting but APA formatting may be the death of me! 

                                           

Day 18- "Snowglobe"

No one likes when their child is sick, but when they have an infection that leaves the hospitalized for four days minimum- we will know more tomorrow morning- it is scary. Your child is fighting for his life. Human error that doesn't usually happen at this hospital, we are talking in the United States one of the best, has happened twice, one of which caused this. Our first Christmas together as we became a family my mother gave us a set of snowglobe ornaments with each person's name; she has welcomed them all wholeheartedly into our family- that's who she is. I'm hoping that tomorrow morning's blood culture is clear- if not it's another 24 hrs each time it isn't. 

                                                               

Day 3- "Mirror Mirror"

He looks nothing like me...but he is my personality mirror & probably kinder to me than anyone else on this earth. 💛so lucky to have him!

                                                 

Day 30- "Flame"

He is a challenge but I get to keep him...

                                                         

Day 29- "Annointed"

Is this funny? Yes. Is it fair? I don't think so. The pressure on a 24 year old is unreal, regardless of money. Maybe the recruits should have a three year cap on how much they earn, during their learning period.

Day 28- "Hush"

The challenge of two grad classes at the same time? Tons of reading and writing, all interesting, and "he" wants his BFF & Just. Can't. Hush. So, it's a constant monologue while I try to work. Waiting for the day my response has to do with whatever he's rambling on about. Love him though 💜!

Day 26- "Plenty"

Love my whole family but as long as O always have them...

Day 22- "Pray"

Some do. Some don't. Don't judge. Seems those most likely to judge tend to be the ones who pray. Makes sense? Not so much.

"Shivering"- Day 24

Me. Year round. Always with an old bed comforter on when lying around the house. Usually his feet are on it when he is in our "green chair" & I have to make him lift them to get it. This weeknd he asked me to come sit with him& had already moved it to "my" spot. Small but very sweet gesture that he was paying attention & sincere. The stupid things that can make your day...

Day 23- "Surprise Me"

Found out that a month from today a special girl in my life is coming home for the weekend and what she has asked for is to spend Saturday with me & my kids like we used to! Not sure yet if my kids know- she's surprising her brother - hopefully she's told my daughter because that will be hard to keep quiet as to why she has to spend the day with me & her brother!

p.s.- found out my kids can know...so much easier that way!

Day 17- "Look Back"

I was soooooo awkward in middle school, & high school too- I'm convinced I joined the crowd I did because it's easy to fit in with the more rebellious misfits - in the end I'm glad I did, I learned to be me and be ok with me. 

Proof of awkward- who orders & wears the entire Mork outfit to school? That would be me....

Day 10- "We Keep Growing"

I know it is a repeat but I don't care, I see it differently every time I read it & somehow it always brings perspective.
