  • The Rest of my Life


    The boys will be back on Tuesday.  That's not long now and I'm so ready to have them that I'm almost giddy with relief.  They've had a long and exciting summer with cross country travel, amusement parks, cousins their age to hang out with ... coming back to Momi is a bit of a downer in comparison.  But I miss them terribly and I'm ready for them to be home. 


    I've been working, and thinking and working and thinking and mostly thinking about the rest of my life.  The rest of my financial life mostly.  But also with what I'd set for myself as goals to be achieved all realms.  Where do I want to be?  How do I want to spend my days?  What kind of life is possible for me to structure for myself?  I don't have a lot of answers, or any really.  I just feel as though I'm on another cusp and that the events of the next 6-8 months are critical for the rest of my life. 


    The good news from this week is that they repaired the airconditioning in my apartment so tonight I will sleep deeply in the cool air.


    Have a good weekend  . . .

  • Its a wonderful thing to have air, esp. when you haven't had it for a while.

    Would it be a fun/good/enlightening thing to sit down with the boys (once the hoop-la of reunion has lessened a bit) and talk with them about their own future plans? Get 'em into the ownership of the future-planning game? Sort of a scary thing sometimes, of course, because giving them some ownership also means tightening your own reins on events, but still it might help with the family regrouping.

    Or probably you've already thought of that. Thinking of you!

  • Back on Tuesday?  Woo hoo!  I'm guessing seeing you again is NOT going to be a downer.  Nope.  Not at all. 

  • Air conditioning.  Best. Invention. Ever.  That's a phrase that reminds all of us Vero Beachers of Hurricanes Frances and Jean, following which we sweltered for up to two weeks without power.  And as hurricane season persists, we're all wondering what might happen THIS year.  Oh, to be in Colorado!

  • I seriously doubt they will see coming home to Mom as a downer.  They've probably missed you and the familiar routine as much as you have missed them.

  • Good to see a post from you gal. If you want to chat about some of those decisions I will be glad to listen you know. Hey, isn't that unstrained link a hoot????

  • Well I wish you well in your decisions for the future ,and that you will soon be re-united with your sons. I like your top with that poem Cheers Marj

  • That stuff sounds cool...but all boys can't wait to get back home to mommy

  • You love your boys so much!  You seem to be at a cross roads in your life.  It is tough, but with your faith, it will work out ok.

  • As it is Wed. morning now I am sure you are re-united with the boys. I am also sure it was just wonderful for all of you to be be back together again - what a lot of adventures they are going to share with you as the next few days go by.
    I see someone suggested to talked with the boys about the future - I did that when my own were young, divorce in the air, and afterwards. Bleieve me it made a huge difference in their support and gave them a feeling that they too were important in the larger scheme of things. (((HUGS)))

  • How was the happy reunion?
