Punching the Clock, Marking days off the Calendar. . .

Another Month is down and all the kids are out of school. Leslie is heading to LA, that's California, to do her internship. The thought of this only makes me ill. I mean how can you yank a small town girl and throw her into a GREAT BIG CITY ? If any of them had to go, Leslie would be my choice. She's going to have the time of her life and this is the next big thing to traveling out of the country. Bethaney will be alone for the first time since she left for college. This will be a wonderful time for her also, a real growing experience. She'll be so busy with classes and work, that she won't even notice for a long time, that Leslie isn't there. Mariah is going to her Dad's for the whole summer. I HATE THIS, but I've always hated sharing Mariah. Not that sharing is bad, but where she has to stay and how she has to live, that's what I hate. I hate that she's excited about leaving me. I'm happy, if she's happy, really. Kaelin and Alissa and Christian will spend their summer slaving away for "mommy dearest", and just so you know, that's not me ! That rips my heart out because that's not even going to be fun for them. Who wants to clean ALL summer, not even grown-ups want that. And then there's Me and Bobby. We'll have a summer getting to know each other, not cooking, if we don't want to. Swimming when we want. Laying out and sleeping in. Getting our diets on and our exercise in. Me and Bobby time...................................... OMG, I CAN'T WAIT ! ! !

A REAL Love Story

Once upon a time there was a woman who had been married twice, and she was NEVER going to get married again. She had been divorced for 4 years and dating was not even going well. She had decided that growing old alone was just going to be a way of life for her. Now her daughters and her sisters and her friends all had other plans. They all had taken turns in trying to set her up, but it usually ended the same way...... either she was too busy or they didn't like her kids or the job got in the way or she didn't like him or he didn't like her. Anyway she had grown very content with her new life. She loved her independence and her job and her kids were growing up nicely and ending high school, starting high school and one starting college. They were independent and she had time to read books and watch TV other than cartoons... Then the whole world changed..... Now my bestest friend and the girls step-mother, had a new neighbor move in and she was SURE I needed to meet this guy...

Moving Past the Anger. . . .

I just wanted to Blog again and not do it in anger. . . There are too many things in life that I have no control over and I can't let HER keep me from happiness. After all then she's winning. Wow where has the time gone. . . Leslie Anne is married and in ID with her sweet husband David and they have a little one on the way, IT will be here in April, what a sweet month to have a baby. Bethaney is completely certified to teach and is doing her internship and will graduate in December of this year. Mariah's 1st day of College is today. What's different in Mariah's case is she's the ONLY kid from Pocola going to OSU this year! I was proud before but even more so now. She's setting the bar high for her fellow classmates and her siblings and doing a fine job of it. How scary is it to head off to such a Great Big Place and take noone with you. . . It's a first for my kiddios. Kaelin is in the 10th and settling in nicely. She's just greatful to not be a fre...

Why does TIME, have to fly by....................

Didn't I just blog yesterday ? ? ? That's what I always say about time, wasn't that just yesterday? Days and Nights have just become a blur and summer has come to an end. All the kids are heading back to school in 2 weeks or less and yet I've only been swimming once. I wish I had the key to turn back or at least slow down time. I just attended my 25th High School Reunion, and I couldn't believe how 25 years had passed. My girl friends looked like my girl friends from High School, but I could hardly recognise the boys. I had to look close, and could only see it in their eyes. My baby turned 16 and wasn't it just yesterday when I held her in my arms thinking, how tiny she is. All the questions she asked as a child, always needed an answer, and not sure why because in her little mind she already had one, but just needed to check it against mine. I clearly remember pony tails and tiny flip flops and always putting hair bows in the girls hair. Homework and bedtime st...
