Time for Pondering....

These last couple of months have been crazy at the homestead.... I work full time outside the home. (6-7 days a week). Blogging is my relaxation. (Thanks to my friend, John at Potpolitics~he started this pondering today!) Some times there are just not enough hours in the day.


This summer several things happened.

1. Changed jobs.
2. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer.
3. Holding my mom's hand through chemo 800 miles away.
   
4. My 20 yo son moved back home.
5. My best friend has been in total upheaval for about 6 months.
6. My son's girl friend came to visit for a little over a week.

The job change is great. With the economy the way it is, I feel blessed to have a job I enjoy and pays the bills.

I was able to go home for mom's surgery, but have had to endure her trials via daily phone calls during her chemo. As the oldest, that is hard on me. I feel like I should be there to hold her hand, wipe her brow, dry her tears.... but that just isn't to be. (She lives with my younger sister~ but it should be me taking care of her!)

My son's father died one year ago. My son went to basic, then really had no where else to go. I welcome him with open arms. It is a great big adjustment to have another person added to the household in the small environment of our little house. (one bathroom)

Then to try to be a good friend.... can't even go there!

Then my son's girlfriend came for a visit. She is sweet and totally adorable! But again, entertaining a guest wears and remember... only one bathroom.

Well, last evening, best friend and I loaded up the car with army stuff and the kids.... Son had to report for training and Son's girlfriend had to report at her new duty station.... and off we went to Fort Bragg. We got them situated and took them to dinner. By the time I got home, I was exhausted. I had an early meeting this am. And now, I am home. In a quiet place. No lines for the lone bathroom. And kind of at odds... You mean I really have time to sit and do a real blog post! I feel kind of lost. So bear with me my dear dear dear blogging friends. I hope to have some new and fun stuff to write about soon! Now it is time to put this post to bed and curl up with the sweetie for a quiet evening!

Stumble It!
