the kiddos were on spring break last week so i had them all to myself. and as much as i love their sweet-dirty-snotty-attitudinal faces, it sure is nice when they go to school :) we had a good week, although what exactly we did escapes me at the moment. oh yeah, livestock show, library, park, oh heck i don't know. all i know is spring is here and the trees are getting their leaves and the annuals are being planted. i love the colors of early spring. it almost inspires me to get out into the yard, almost. we whipped out the baby pool last week and even though the water was a little chilly the boys really enjoyed splish-splashing away. i was very glad to be able to clean my casa today, we were going on 2 weeks - isn't that against some health code in regards to my young kids? i know it definitley makes my ocd skin crawl. but when is the last time you tried to mop a floor with a 4 and a 1 year old at home? or clean a toilet? its impossible i tell you. so the house was clean for, oh all of five minutes until they got home & well, at least the bathroom doesn't smell like pee, yet...
so facebook, friend or fo? its kind of crazy the people that i have connected with (mostly for a brief message back and forth, and i'm sure i will not "talk" to again) regardless its been interesting and fun. pretty cool the revelation that has come with this that i don't have to hide from anyone. now this may seem strange to some of you but i was not always this fabulous, loving woman i am now, haha. in my "former life" i was a selfish, raging, crazy you-know-what. just knowing that i am not that girl today is AWESOME!
i have had two very good experiences in the last week as a result of fb. on sunday i went to my old bff's sons 1st bday party. we have known each other since kindergarden, have lost touch, reconnected, lost touch, etc. we were the friends that would leave school and go home and talk on the phone until dinner time. she was a rock for me, when things were, well, rocky at my house. we have yet to sit down for lunch but hopefully will be able to do that soon. it was wonderful to see her doing well & happy with a little man of her own.
the other was as a result of an email i was sent from, as my mentor phrased it, "the boy". this was the guy i dated my senior year in highschool, and talk about 17 year old love (swoon!) and the following angst i experienced when he finally got tired of my crazy a$$. (yeah the one and only time i have been arrested involved him & some really bad behavior-of mine, and i am being vague here b/c i think i have some family members that read this that i'd rather not share that part of my story with) anyway i had an oppurtunity to have a long overdue convo with him where i got to own my stuff, make amends, ask forgiveness. good stuff.
so i am grateful today. happy. content. i have been really working on being conected lately, and its working. i think i have finally leveled out hormonally after weaning stephen. praise god!
