It has been about 10 months since I lasted blogged on here...too much has been going on in life, but I am going to keep updating now that I have cancelled all my other "public chaos" accounts.
Since the last blog, Jesse has shipped off to basic training at Fort Benning, Georgia. He has been gone since mid April and will not return until August 1. So far he seems to be doing very well in the environment. He writes almost everyday and calls almost every week. Yesterday I got 3 calls from him.
The kids and I are taking one day at a time. I am trying to stay busy and keep them occupied so that the days pass by quickly and so that sad emotions don't rise to the surface very often. I am thankful that it is summertime and the weather is nice. We have been going to the river and zoo and aquatic park... we really are enjoying our time together.
Moriah has about 4 days left of school. Kindergarten graduation is Thursday...feels like I was just sitting at her preschool graduation. LOL How they grow so fast is crazy to me!
Salena has been my little helper at home. She cares for her little brother and helps me clean and keeps me focused on the truly happy and important things in life. She can sense when I am unhappy and she always tells me, "mom, it's time for you to sit by me on the couch so I can touch you." Perhaps I am so busy and "go-go-go" that my little physical touch daughter isn't feeling what she needs to. I am trying to work on loving each child in the way they accept it.
Anyhow- it is morning and I have a apartment to clean and three kids to entertain. Once I get some more time and take more pictures, I will post my next blog.
Thank you all for understanding and being so supportive in this difficult and trying time. Much love...
