Hiding

By
I heard the crinkle of paper and knew Lil Man was sneaking looking at the presents. I looked around the corner to find him touching them. He saw me and 'hid'. I don't think he has grasped the concept of hiding yet.

Hiding
Is that just too cute or what?

I can't believe how much he has grown. Where does the time go? It seems like yesterday he was just learning to crawl. Now he is running, climbing and becoming his own little person.

I see a lot of me in him (uh oh, payback!). I also see my Hubby in him. He adores his daddy. Whatever Daddy is doing he wants to do.

And Hubby is an awesome father. He definitely has the patience of the two of us. By the end of the day I'm at a deficit when it comes to patience. So it's nice to see Hubby step in and take over. Most nights he does bath/bedtime for Lil Man. Yep, you read that right. MOST nights he puts Lil Man to bed. He reads him a bedtime story and puts him to bed. No complaints from this mommy!

Now that I'm doing freelance work, it gives me time to work for half an hour to an hour once Hubby gets home. I'm finding my schedule/balance with working and taking care of Lil Man. I prayed for an avenue that I could make a little money for the household. I feel that God has answered that prayer, and I am truly thankful. It didn't just fall into my lap and I'm constantly having to 'work' it. I'm looking/applying for jobs daily. But I'm hopeful this is going to work out for our family.

What Summer Taught Me

By
This Summer has been a big learning experience - for both Lil Man and myself. Who knew that an amusement park could be such a learning experience for both of us. I watched as my little boy, all on his own, climbed stairs among strangers, learned how to wait his turn, slide down a water slide, and do it over and over again. I watched as other kids shoved him out of their way, cut in front of him as he stood patiently 'waiting for his turn'. Groves of bigger kids kept cutting in front of him, and I held back and gave him time to respond. This for me was a learning experience. See, people have to have room or space to grow. So I learned how to let go, let out the leash a little, and give Lil Man some space. The first time the kids pushed him aside, he really didn't know what to do. After a few minutes of this, I did intervene. I told him to get in line. Take his turn, and when it was his turn he was to go. And the next time as other kids pushed past him, it only took a few

Rejection

By
You'd think as many times as I've been rejected in my life that rejection wouldn't hurt anymore. Really, I can't count the number of times that I've been rejected, or slighted, or been on the receiving end of cruel words. I'm almost 40 for pete's sake. Rejection shouldn't bring tears anymore, but it still does. It just seems like I've been faced with it a lot lately. It started with the Running and has seemed to carry over into other parts of my life. I have spent most of my life on the sidelines watching other people. That's what happened with the marathon.   Once again, I'm on the side as others do things that I want to do. I trained. I had to have an unexpected surgery. I got injured. I couldn't run. It happens. It isn't the end of  the world. But what many don't realize is that there are numerous times in my life that I am on the sidelines, watching, wishing I was the one 'out there' - not the one watching. . But

2 Weeks Post Mohs Surgery

By
May 26, 2021 3:40pm  Finally, the phone call that I'd been waiting on. It was the Medical Center. ( Finally, we can schedule my surgery. ) She tells me who she is, and then tells me that she has a cancellation for tomorrow. ( Me stammering... )  "Ok, but I was thinking the end of June."   Then I hear "We just had a moment to look at your file. We really don't think that you should wait. We really think you should come in tomorrow at 8:15am" ( Me stammering again ) "Ok, I'll be there."  Wait, what? My mind is all over the place. I'm supposed to work. How am I going to get our son to school? Will my husband be able to go with me on such short notice. I expected this to be the end of June, not tomorrow. I'm not prepared! I was overcome with emotion.  May 26, 2021 Surgery Day I woke up at 1am with a horrible headache. By the time we arrived at the surgery center, I was definitely a bundle of nerves. I got checked in, went through the usual
