Yes, I haven’t written in some time. Here are some updates….
Josh’s team took the champion spot in his little league this past summer. He was the game opening pitcher for the all-star game, however his favorite position is catcher. He started middle school this year, and I am amazed at how fast they grow up.
Megan waffled a few more times as to “should she stay, or should she move” with her Dad…she ended up staying and is a cheerleader, and has opted to do 1/2 day at school, and the other half on-line. This way she gets a few extra credits, and will possibly be able to take college classes when she enters high school.
Chelsea is doing great… meds and seeing her therapist once a week, has made her a new person. Tomorrow she turns 18….amazing. She has applied with AmeriCorps - the domestic sister of the Peace corps. She continues in her passion of wanting to help others and spread the message that mental illness is not a death sentence.
Kimberly is still in Florida, and has gotten a job at a nursing home in the dietary dept. She is a certified CNA, however there were not any open positions for that, so she took the job in the kitchen to get her foot in the door. Kimberly has always worked hard, and most of the time, she has had 2 jobs. I do not get to see her that often, and there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss her.
Katie and I are speaking again….our war of words ended ages ago, just like we both knew it would. She and Donny have made it official…they are getting married next year. I am hoping for a grandchild at some point in time….I never thought I’d say that…I guess I’m ready…
As for me….well…I managed to make it through another summer. I wonder what it will be like when all the kids are grown and I no longer measure my years by school years.
I can honestly say, I am a different person than I was when I began this blog. I slow down and enjoy the little details and nuggets life has to offer. I don’t write as much as I’d like to…I have had some fun with my other blog….Not Everyone Needs a Shrink…
But…I still have this feeling deep down in the pit of my stomach that there is still so much more I am meant to do. The problem is…I have no idea what it is, or where to begin. I have some things I am working on…projects…and one thing I am certain of…it has been because of my committment to be open to coincidence and random occurences in my life…that I have even begun any of those projects.
So for now…at this midway point in the coincidence experiment…I’d have to say thus far it has been a success. For the end result…I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
