Yeah. I suck. I'd apologize. But I wouldn't mean it. Instead I'll give this another whirl.
I'm gonna give you the "bullets" that summarize some of what has gone on in my life since my last post.
- I got a job! I wasn't even looking for one. It found me. Wait. Let me re-phrase. God pointed me at this job and opened all the doors. Then He basically flung me through those doors. I am now the Youth Ministry Assistant at my church. Wow. Right? Who said the Lord doesn't have a sense of humor? I am absolutely loving doing what I do. Seriously. I'm part-time. So I'm still able to pick the kids up from school. It's been awesome. So far the only one displeased with my new job is Gus. I think he feels neglected. Poor kitty.
- My mom has been really sick. The past three weeks have been tough. The past week even more so. Things are looking up (considering where she was a week ago tomorrow) but not perfect. None of us are ever guaranteed our next breath. I'm learning (very much the hard way) to treasure each moment. I've never been a big crier. But the past two weeks, I've cried pretty much every day. Not just gentle, pretty, movie tears. I'm talking about ugly crying. Ugh.
- Our kids started private school in August. Yep - - we said buh-bye to public school. They are now attending a Christian school. And let me tell you this: it has been the best thing we've ever done for our kids. (Other than adopting them!) Wow. Their class sizes are capped at twelve. They receive more one-on-one attention. And their grades have sky-rocketed! Yay! Ironing uniforms sucks. (By the way, that's "Christian Cussing." We aren't supposed to do that. I can't even say "crap" around my kids anymore. Hey - - if they are getting good grades and can pray in school, I'm not complaining. I just hope the other moms don't find my blog. Or I'll be on the prayer list next.)
- Mr. B got me hooked on a show he watches. He talked me into starting season one on Netflix. Yep, I'm watching Breaking Bad. And I freakin' (another word I can't say out loud) love it. It's my guilty pleasure. Actually, he and I are about to catch another episode. Yay us! I know that in reality, meth is way not cool. But something about this show just rocks my face off. I love it.
- Speaking of awesome shows - - I'm a wicked Walking Dead fan, too. Oh my gosh. I do love me some Daryl. I am on pins and needles waiting for October.
I'm sure there's more. But what would I blog about next if I gave it all away now?
Time for some Breaking Bad with my main squeeze.
I'll check back in again soon. I've missed you guys. Anyone still out there?
