Wow. Life is just amazing right now. I might be broke, but I have got my family, good friends, a home, and laughter. That is really what makes the world go round right?
First off Family: The kids all got along today. Destiny has been just amazing here lately. Getting along with the siblings, allowing them even to come into her room, touch things, and being nice. She has done her homework, brought up her grades, gone to bed at the time she is supposed to and gotten up and out the door to the bus in the mornings before I can even remind her its time to get out to the stop! I am really really happy with the relationship we have shared this past week... Although I know its bipolar and could change at any moment.
She has kind of almost wanted to hang out with me. Going to the gym, asking when we could go again... Doing a pilates tape with me this evening, tagging along to the grocery store. Even mapping out her plans for me, and ASKING me if its okay before inviting friends over and so on... Now that I have said this I am sure to have jinxed myself.
The little 2 are going camping for boyscouts this weekend. So it will be just the two older girls and I. Speaking of the older 2, not only is Destiny doing so great, but Promise is all A's and B's this year, trying hard. Studying and doing just great. She is getting the teenager mouth off and on, and has some drama going on with her and friends, but she's really been doing great as well.
Things have been tight with the cats surgery and all. My mom has helped us out a bit, Tims dad, and its just been amazing. I am so very thankful for my family.
Good friends: Well where would you be without them? really. Friends are awesome, and my friends well they are the most awesome. Donating a very nice washer to me, since mine has some odd stinky smell in it. Now I have clean, non stinky clothes and every time I think of my pals Josh and Pam and think how empty my life would seem without friends like them (and how stinky my clean clothes would be!)
A home: I still walk around this house and think WOW. WE OWN a house! It is awesome. Sure the garage door is broken, and sure taxes went up, Tims pay went down, and were struggling to make ends meet some months when my work is slow... but it sure beats people living above you clomping, just over 900 square feet for 6 people, and 900 kids hanging out all over the place making a mess of our "yard" Oh and just HAVING a yard!!! I would not trade home ownership for anything!!!
Laughter: It truly is the best medicine... Just maybe not when your doing pilates tapes! The kids and I have laughed this week. Just about life. Because life is funny and laughing about it is great. Memories made, ab muscles tightened. It really is a great life. I am thankful for each day the Lord gives me.
