Good morning, everyone!!!
Can you believe it is mid November already? Where the heck has the year gone??? Next week Thanksgiving will be here, then Christmas, then the New Year, life just flies by...
Saturday went smooth this past weekend. Sunday, well, let's just say it was a nightmare. By the end of the day I was just over the day all together. That was at noon. Now my morning is flying by this morning. I've been sitting here since 4:30 a.m. trying to wake up and now it's already 5:30 a.m. I do hope that means the work day will also fly by.
The daughter's water lines will resume being fixed tomorrow. We'll know more once they get in there and see what else is going on. Until then she and the grandchildren will stay here. Tuesday night I will have little miss Zoe over night :) Then over the weekend I will have all the granddaughters :)
I need to prepare for the Christmas goodies sleep over as well. This time I have some crazy ideas that will require more than one sleep over to finish it :) I was going to talk to hubby about this little project, but as busy as he was when he was home I totally spaced it. So I need to get on that too :)
I also need to go to the craft store up town again. I have some ideas for Christmas presents and need to get them before someone else buys them :) That place is just amazing :)
So much to do and if time keeps flying by, well, it will all be done and over with before I blink.
Ahhhhh....
With all this time flying by it also means everyone is growing older. My youngest will be 23 this Saturday. I can't believe he's all grown up. Hell, it's hard to believe all of my kids are grown now. But they are and two of them have children growing up right before my eyes.
I guess life isn't mean to just stroll by. Instead, it's a whirlwind waiting to happen. I just wish some people would see this and know one day these little people won't be little people anymore and the chance to be a part of their lives will be gone before they know it. To be able to impact their lives in a positive manner will disappear and the feelings they've instilled in them will be set into their dna makeup forever.
Sad, but true...
The one days...
The when I have times...
When I'm done doing what I want to dos...
Those will all be gone and the expectations of these children just falling into your life, well, it will be gone too. Because the term, "You made your bed now lay in it," does hold water and is a fact of life.
For eleven and a half years I've found you can't force someone to be something they're not. No matter how much you see what the future will hold for them, you can't make them change. What else you can't change, is how it effects a young one. How sitting around a campfire answering questions of Why am I not loved, can not change the facts, but all you can do is love them more and hope it is enough to prove to them they are loveable and important in this life.
Being there for someone is more than just your physical presence from time to time. It is being there emotionally for them. Being there when they need you the most and even when they don't. It is building relationships by communication. By hugs and silently proving you love them.
Yeah, let's just say, yesterday started out shitty and ended even worse. I had to rein in anger that I had long thought was gone from my soul. To have it thrown in my face, well, I realize I have a great deal left to work on in this area of life for sure.
Everyone have a lovely day!!!
Blessings to all!!!
