WOW! I'm back...sorry for the 6 month hiatus I took but life happened. What a roller coaster ride I have been on for that time. Not to mention that I forgot my password to log in and then lost my internet access at work and at home. But nevertheless I got it all worked out and I am starting my blog back up.
So much has happened and I have so much that I want to get out. So much that I want to share and other things that I hope no one ecer finds out about. Well, my husband and I shared 5 years of marriage back on June 3rd. Spent some time with the girls in July before the returned to school. Went to a training for my job a month in August, celebrated Brooklyn's 5th birthday in September and spent 6 days in the hospital in October. I did mention that life has been a roller coaster ride, right?
The completion and closing of the house that we have been wrapped up in was postponed a 3rd time to November, so hopefully by the end of the month I will be blogging from my own home. But I must say that I have had some humbling experiences during this waiting period. Brooklyn graduated for Pre-K and was the mistress of ceremonies at her graduation and Gabrielle was crowned defensive player of the year for her basketball team. I must say that I am a proud mommy. Then lupus rared its ugly head and caused me a 5 day six night stay and the luxurious UT Southwestern Medical Center. I have learned that if I want to keep being a proud mommy, wife and soon to be home owner, I am going to have to take those lupus warnings a little more serious and get to the doctor a little sooner.
I've gained some pride in myself and decided that this life is worth living and I have started to live it a little more liberatingly (I know spellcheck is going to eat me up for that one). I cherish the good times more now and I try not to dwell on the bad ones for so long. I have learned to control my emotions a little more since I have been sharing a domain with my parents and learned that I actually can control my temper. My husband and I have a better relationship throughout this experience as well. I sure hope it stays that way because I have gotten use to settling differences a little different since we have an audience now. But through it all I have gained confidence in myself and my willingness to get things done no matter what.
Thanking God is a daily activity and being a smiling face to people that don't really care for me has been a goal as well. Nothing like a great, "Good morning, how are you today?", with a smile big as the sun to start someones day. And the reactions that I have been getting from these people is amazing. Some mornings they return the gesture with a less than friendly smile if they speak at all. But I don't care anymore. I've learned that no matter what you do, everyone is not going to like you and that I have to stop calling everyone my friend. But that it just me, "Friendly Fannie." But to God be the glory for all this that I have, which is sometimes nothing at all.
