I have a lot on my mind and have not been happy that I have not had time to update this more. I first wanted to say that Father’s Day is one of the hardest days for me ever. I felt very blessed this year because I focused on watching others with their dads and taking joy in the fact that there are so many good dad’s in my life. I was also able to be with others that had lost their dad’s who were all great dad’s and it actually gave me comfort in a way I can’t really describe.
I also wanted to say that today I got positive feedback at work and although I can’t share details, I appreciate that there are still good people in the world that will acknowledge when things go right, instead of just focusing on when things go wrong. I am going to try to remember that myself.
Let’s also talk about the house. I love, love, love my new house. It feels a bit strange still because I think I haven’t made “roots” yet. I still feel like a guest or something. I can’t wait for the holidays to come because I think that will make it more real to me, or maybe just when I finally get the boxed unpacked, maybe that has something to do with it, ha ha.
Lastly, I have to share some highlights from my children this week. Dill Pickle loves his day care, he says it’s “cool” and today they went swimming in the baby pool and he told me it was his “best day ever”. I asked Aaron for a progress report on how I was doing as a mom-he responded-“you are doing great mom”. I got a little burst of confidence, and then he said-I’m being sarcastic mom. Well at least I taught him something, right? As for Lauren, she has actually started to take an interest in cooking and helping out with her brother. She is starting to become more aware of other foods and trying new things. She still doesn’t like most of what she tries, but at least she is trying it.
Now I’ve caught you up on my random thoughts. Any random thoughts you all want to share?
