Commitment

Jump to Comments

I have a realized that I am a slacker.  All of the drama and no resolution.  What kind of blogging mother am I?  I am a horrible one, that is what kind.  I am going to be better. A weight was lifted from my shoulders lately and I think I am ready to make a commitment to my writing.  Here is a beginning.

My husband started his NEW JOB two weeks ago.  He is working as a satellite installer for a satellite TV provider.  If we know each other, feel free to email for which one.  He can earn money if we refer people.  So far, he is very happy there.  This, in turn, makes the wife happy.  I am pleased that we will finally be a double income family again because we had been living as though we were even though we weren’t for awhile.

Emily is doing well with her asthma.  We continue to do our once a day treatment and she is used to that now.  We found that cold air was a trigger so unfortunately, that means staying inside when it is very cold which was hard for us as we love to be outside whenever the rain lets up which is rare here.  We did, however, recently get our hospital bill which is big but not as big as it could have been without health insurance.

Miss Emily is bursting with everything.  Words and sentences come out like she has been speaking for years lately.  She can identify letters and shapes and colors (not all but some).  She has a fiery temper and a loving heart and is excited by everything.  She is two and there is no in between emotions for her.  It is all or nothing.  She gives 100% whether it is for anger or for happiness.  Sometimes, she puts herself in her time-out spot because she is so upset that she feels that she needs a time-out.  I think this is very mature but also very bizarre.  She just knows when she needs to get away from it all because she just can’t stand it.  She is so smart.  I know all moms feel this way but it is true.

Our lives are bordering on normal lately.  We are still trying to adjust to Scott’s new schedule because he has to work one day of the weekend now and sometimes comes home late in the evening so I am on my own.  But, we find a blessing in the job because it will pay our bills and so we accept the difference in our schedules as just what life has brought.  There are so many who have no jobs at all.  We understand this pain.  We know we are the lucky ones.

I am feeling very positive because the sun is shining today and I have fresh flowers in my home (I love having fresh flowers, makes it feel like spring).  I ate dinner with my parents, sisters, husband and child on my beautiful back deck last night and it was warm and wonderful out there.  I had sweet tea and worked in the garden.  I think was the best day I have had in a long time.  I went to sleep tired and sore from raking and digging but it was good.
