what is love and why do things change

 Love, to me, is knowing when you come home, you have arms to fall into. Someone who sees your side, and sides with you, but can also point out where your wrong, when you are. Love is being able to tell your deepest darkest things about yourself and knowing they will not go anywhere. To me that is love. I think love is different for everyone. I totally understand falling out of love as well. Falling out of love sucks for the one that you have fallen out of love with, but also for you if you have fallen out of love. Telling someone this is never easy I would think.

 I am still madly in love with my husband. That is not what this blog is about. My husband welcomes me home, loves me when I am ugly, sticks by my side when I am a bitch and holds me when I am upset.

 My mom, has fallen out of love. Quite a while ago I believe. its taken some time, and someone new, to finally convince her that, she needs to come clean, admit that she is not in love and do something about it. Of course that is never easy, and when the someone your with is mentally and physically challenged in ways, well I am certain you feel even more badly about saying what you have to say...

 So my mom is leaving her boy friend of 13 years. She has fallen in love with someone else, and he makes her happy. Why shouldn't she be happy? My mom does anything for anybody any time. She would give her last dollar to a cracked out hooker if she felt like it would help her in anyway. My mom is the most selfless person I know. I am happy that she is ready to do something for herself, and for her own happiness. At the same time I am sad. Sad for the changes in store, and sad for her boyfriend. I try to think heck maybe he feels the same way she's felt for so long and he feels stuck as well. I do not think that is the case though.

 The kids wonder if he's still going to be their "papa" and if the new boyfriend will also be their "papa" I don't have answers to either question. I remember my parents separating when I was about 10. I don't remember it being this hard. I think when your 10 you think less about how someones life might be turned upside down because of a decision like this... Your too busy thinking only about your own world, that is flip flopping every moment parents together or apart.

 speaking of parents... My dad never has responded to my letter. This hurts. In my heart I guess I knew, that he would not respond. I didn't really want to even send the stupid letter. It sucks that someone who was your parent, who cared for you and all that, just can give up and let go so easily. It sucks to feel like you were disposable. That is how I feel though.

 Work went much better today. Even though they forgot to give me my raise on my check... Next check should have it, and that is cool I guess. So far all 3 new girls are sticking. Been almost 3 weeks for the first 2. That is almost a new record!

 The kids are doing great. School year routine is in effect and going pretty well. Bedtime is early and I get time to myself with my husband and that helps lower the stress levels in our home.

 I am really worried about my mom. Her safety. I know her boyfriend loves her, but I just hope he doesn't love her so much that he flips out when she tells him she's leaving. Its always been in the back of my mind that he might... I would hate for him to hurt himself and her feel like it was her fault and even more so I pray that he will not do anything to harm her if he gets upset. I pray for her strength and his understanding with everything I have. I am hopeful it will go smoothly and he will still be the kids "papa" and they can remain friends.

 Lets go, on to tomorrow. Friday. Bring it!

not everything i say requires a response.

 first off let me say, my shift key is not working so nothing is uppercase today. so sorry.   the new chick at work is driving me...crazy. short drive i know but even so. like seriously. crazy. she argues with everything, butts into any conversation started without her in it, and denies anything being done wrong. she's new, making a mistake is going to happen. if you do it, fess up, and get on. your not in trouble. shut up. quit denying it just say ok, and get on with life. it does not always require a response. just do it. or don't do it, whatever fits in the time. then i have customers like the lady today. she and her friends all got their pizzas. when i walked by i stopped to check on the table. i noticed that the lady was asking her friend to sniff her slice of pizza, of which she had taken one bite of. i asked if everything was okay 'it tasted funny when i took a bite' she says 'here taste it," she tries to get her friends to taste it, one sniffs and ...

some days

 The kids are just cute. I know I normally talk about how bratty they are. but today, well today they were just cute. All of them, even Destiny. Believe it or not.  Hannah came down the little car line to get into the van and she was smiling and so happy, and so dang cute. Promise had a friend over part of the day Bailey played mario and Destiny told me my shirt looked like a hobo shirt (it was Tims)  Today was just a good day. not sure what made it that way. the kids mostly got a long, there were a few SHUTUPS tossed out but for the most part it was pretty peaceful. I wish more days, were like today.  I went to Lowe's today to get a shelf thing to put in our laundry room. Its so exciting! TO think a shelf would be nice here, and then think YEAH, I'll put one in. See we can do that, cus we OWN our house! :) Its awesome!  I got a few more seeds today. Sweet baby peppers, zucchini and squash too. Yum. I really hope something grows this year. I am SO sore f...

Love the one your with.

 My mom and I were talking and lately her relationship is what I guess we could call complicated. During our conversation she stopped and asked me "Are you happy with Tim?" without hesitation I answered "yes".She told me that she knew he loved me and she was so glad I could be happy.  Later I was thinking about it. I have wondered is he "it" is he the one. How can I be sure, how is anyone ever sure? We have been together for almost 9 years now. Granted we've had our issues, but every night he comes home to me, and every morning he's next to me in bed. He loves me, he provides for me, and I love him and provide for him. Together we are raising four wonderful children.  Do I still get butterflies when he walks though the door? Well, honestly, no. Do I still miss him the moment he walks away... Again no, sometimes I am more than happy to see him leave for the evening and go to work... Does that mean I love him any less than I did when our love was...
