I started my blog as a vent but it grew into a personal venture and a healing machine for my soul and sanity.
I went from comfortably well off upper middle class to welfare in the span of less than twelve months. It was an eye opening jaw dropping lesson in humility and gratitude. I have learned a lot about myself and a lot about how much I am loved and how many blessings I have.
We are on the road back to what Massey calls "Being unpoor." Although Tim and I felt the finacial weight bearing down on us like a ton of bricks, it wasn't easy for my two kid's still at home. We actually had to not so gently shove the oldest out to flap his own wings and fly away. I still feel bad about that, but he has matured and made it on his own and it makes me smile to know how wonderful he has turned out to be.
Still got two at home both in their teens driving me to look like the above photo. Massey is a great girl but when you are feamle and sixteen...Drama is your middle name. I remember it well.
Zach is like a son in a sitcom series....somebody's gotta be making this crap up! I love him anyway but he is close to getting shooed out of the nest as well. (Maybe his older bro needs a room mate.)
My life is comical to say the least. It is never dull around here.
I came home from work tonight after working an eleven hour shift to find my living room all re arranged by my younger son. He moved the 42" TV to the other side of the room which was fine by me. Now it won't have the glare coming through the windows making the picture harder to see in the daytime. My problem was he routed the cable wire across my fireplace mantle and had it tacked down with push pins (nice touch.) He also moved my sofa out of the living room and into my dining room for some unknown and bizarre reason.
I came home from work and sat down at the computer in the dining room to check my email when Tim came downstairs from the bedroom and spoke to the two dogs laying on the floor behind me. "Well look at this, now Momma can do her blog and then just plop on the couch and go to sleep."
I glared at him but relented the glare when he rubbed my aching shoulders for about 45 seconds.
Now tomorrow I have to drag my couch back up to the living room. At least the living room is all vacuumed and ready for the return of the "sitting device."
One thing is for sure...there's never a dull moment in our house (unless we are ALL gone) but then again who knows WHAT my two crazy pups do when we are!
Thinking about getting a Christmas tree on my day off tomorrow. Heck I could buy a forest of trees with all the room we have now in my livng room...
Til next time, lived another day to tell another story COTTON
