Sister

To my Sister I love you so much, I don't know who would stay on the phone while I scream and rant for hours about everything, but you do. My favorite is when you say "well I don't even know how to react to that" It makes me laugh and brings me back to earth. I miss you and I know Tucson isn't very far away (much closer that ST. Louis) but still I wish I could just run over to your house and hang out whenever. Your my bffff! You are "Irreplaceable"(in a not so calm voice, you know what I'm taking about hehehe) I love you so much I don't think I could have picked out a better person to have as a sister! You are truly the cheese to my macaroni! I <3 you Sissy!!

Ponderings

I think a lot these days about the present, the past, and mostly the future. I wonder where will I go from here? What will I do with my life? The life I fought so hard to keep has slipped away. Again I am single not alone never alone. I have an amazing family who is so incredibly supportive and wonderful they have all stepped up to make this next step in my life easier. I appreciate them so much and am so thankful to be loved. My daughters who brighten every moment of my day with their smiles and sloppy kisses their tiny hands pressed on my face make me so glad I am their mother. Even in the midst of all this I still feel lost and alone sometimes. When I stop and think for more than a moment, and then I stop my thoughts mid track and bury them deep so I don't have to feel the ugly sting of anger and resentment toward Him. I try to remind my self that this all happened for a reason and that God has something planned for me, I know God hasn't forgotten about me but this sea of loneliness it is hard to remember sometimes. I look inside my heart tonight and finally try to embrace the hurt and the pain and all I find is forgiveness for Kevin, I am hurt beyond belief and what he did to me was not ok and as mad as I want to be I can't seem to muster up the anger or hate I thought was there. This is some miracle from God because I haven't ever been able to forgive so completely for something as huge as this. As I sit here trying to be consumed with grief for the loss of my marriage and my very way of life all I find is tears, tears of hope for a better tomorrow, tears for a brighter life for me and my girls, and tears of relief for finally being out of the marriage I had so badly wanted but never fully enjoyed.

In the aftermath of all this crying I look at my girls and thank the lord the wonderful blessings he sent to me. They see my red rimmed eyes and MyKenna just looks at me with that sad face and says "It's ok Mommy I love you" and Sadie looks at me with her two year old baby face, smiles runs up for a hug and just says "Mommy you cry? I sit you lap." And just like that my heart melts I dry my tears and push forward and thank the Lord for the strength he has given me.

You keep proving me right...

Today I finally decided Sadie was sick enough to text Kevin and let him know what was up. (He previously had asked me to not text him unless it was necessary hence my not wanting to text him) Sadie has all of these: Sinus infection, ear infection, pinkeye, a fever, and now vomiting. She is really not feeling well, don't worry we have an appointment to see the Dr. tomorrow. Anyway back to my story, I finally break down and text him, and the jerk who is probably busy with his new girlfriend won't even acknowledge the text!! I'm so mad, seriously! Honestly I didn't expect him to but still you really don't care for your daughter that much! You make me sick you selfish jerk!

Life as I know it....

I know life isn't easy and its supposed to be worth it, but what am I supposed to learn from all of this? Pain and Sadness? That is all feel these days. I left my husband because he asked me to. He said he no longer wanted to be married. Here we are sometime later and I have given up hope of trying to "fix" our marriage. Although I do wish there was by some miracle a magic wand that I could wave and everything would be happy and good.

As I lay here and ponder my life I wonder where do I go from here? I find a job, be grateful for what I do have, my beautiful children and a wonderful family who loves and cares about me. I know that's what I should do anyway, but all I can think is I'm going to miss that man. He made me so happy when I was so sad, he tried so hard to be who I wanted and I was so impossible that I drove him away. People tell me I'm better off, I know in some ways its true. He is in his own way quite perfect maybe not for me but for someone. I wish that I had been the right one for him, and he for me but that's life isn't it. You think you know what you want and sometimes when you get it, it isn't quite what you thought. At least now I know, although I wish quite deeply I hadn't had to learn this lesson.

Summer

The Arizona sun has reared its ugly head and pointed here. Can I just whine for a second? Thanks I hate summers here! They are too hot and gross and I very much wish we could just skip them! Anyway, since its here Kev and I decided to sign Kenna up for swim lessons yay! She is somewhat excited and I am so happy(even though I realize its a half hour of chasing Sadie around a pool) still I can't wait. Swimming was such a huge part of my childhood growing up here in the state of year round summer I just hope she likes it as much as I did.

On another note Sadie recovered from her surgery so fast! She did amazing and the Cardon Children's Hospital did such a great job! They had toys for her to play with while we waited and a little push car for us to walk the halls with her and it was over all a great experience for a first surgery. She took it way way easy all of that day but by the next day she was back to our crazy Sadie, she ran a bit slower and didn't quite slam into as much but she recovered super fast and by day three other than the durabond on her belly you couldn't tell she had had surgery. The surgeon did an amazing job and she has no visible scar plus a normal belly button!

Anyhow that's just a mini update on us one of these days I will sit down and actually write something worth reading maybe lol.
