Where has the time gone

Well since my last post, things have been flying by. My two daughters had birthdays, and I had a birthday. Finally got all of my CDL stuff finished and now I have been busy busy with work and that is great! Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas have all come and gone. The time is just flying by! As the new year has begun, I am hoping that this is the year that we finally get ourselves out of the hole. After being laid off, things were tough! Anyway it all seems to be coming together!

I of course have not had to go through this alone. I have a great family and wonderful kids! They are always surprising me with things that keep me on my toes. With all of the gloom of the economy and people losing jobs homes and cars, I have been blessed with family and friends to help cushion the bumpy ride. I have found myself wanting and wishing that I had all of the finer things in life but all that did was depress me because it seemes so out of reach. I have learned that being happy with what I have is the best solution for now. The cars may be rickety but they are paid for and they work.

My sister's husband had two severe heart attacks this last month and now he is in Hospipce care. He sleeps all the time and does not acknowledge anyone in the room. I feel so sad for my sister because she is losing the one that she loves and has to become a single parent to four kids. She is the one that I am praying for because she will not have it easy. My Mother is another one that I am praying for also. Mom had a mini stroke last year and it has affected her vision so she is not allowed to drive or be able to work. She can see ok enough to get around the house so this makes her feel independent. Mom says she is in good spirits but wishes that all of her kids are doing well.

Learned last night that Dad had to be wisked away in a ambulance to a hospital somewhere we dont know. This was on Weds. night last week. We havent heard why he had to go or if he is even ok. The jail system doesnt let us know of these things. Hope he is ok.

There was another thing that has hit me hard this last year was that I cant please everyone. Even people I dont know seem to have a comment on how I do things. It hit me too the point that I feel like I cant open myself up too much for people for the fear of being judged. I guess I will eventually get over this one too, but for now it weighs on me.

But hey, it is a new year and I hope and wish that all goes well for friends and families. May the new year bring you joy and happiness!! SeeYa!!
