It's storming outside today! I love thunderstorms. I love storm season really! Gives me a good reason to do nothing but cuddle up with my kiddos and watch the rain! They seem to really enjoy it as well.
Have had some challenging times over the past couple of weeks. My baby girl has become quite the little diva. Lincoln never through himself around or screamed the way this sweet little girl of mine has been doing. The attitude it unreal! Had an instance on Monday where I thought the devil had overcome her body and I was going to have to preform an exorcism. All I could really do is laugh and try to calm her down. That wasn't an easy thing just let me tell ya! Girls are SOOO much different than boys. At least in my case they are. But none the less....I love them and they are my babies! We will make it through this just in time for the pre-teen years..LOL!!
It just occurred to me this week that in 15 days my baby boy turns 4! Time has just flown by so quickly. He starts Pre-K next year and we are trying to transfer school districts since we are not happy with the one we live in. Where the kids are at now is a great school. They love it and I love their teachers. BUT if we can get him into the school district we prefer until we can actually move into that district that would be great. We will see! I know our chances are probably slim but I'm going to pray a lot about it that things are supposed to turn out the way they are supposed to.
The fact that Lincoln is such a little man now really gets me sometimes. He amazes me everyday with what he has overcome since being born so prematurely. And I love that he gets to share his birthday with a very special little girl who's mom I happen to think is very special as well. She has been such a great friend and confidant. There are some days I'm not really sure what I would do without her friendship. I can honestly say that about all of my girlfriends. They have been a sounding board for me and given me such solid advice. I am a lucky girl!
Had a great weekend in the city this past weekend. We don't make it down nearly as much as we like/need to. Busy lives get in the way. It's sad really! Lot's of family time and really enjoying the outside. Actually had nice run with my FIL and had some really great conversations. We don't get to talk much just he and I. I was able to bounce something off of him and really get some guidance. I am so lucky to have the inlaws that I have. I got to love and snuggle on my 2 brand new baby nieces and have some great girl time with my SIL's and MIL. I'm so blessed!
A young woman whom I have know for a quite some time made the biggest move of her life this past week. I am so proud of her and what she is accomplishing right now. She moved to Chicago and is experiencing life! It's so scary but I will be praying for her that she stays strong and continues on this journey! I told her to continue praying and going to church and make smart choices. Stay strong Meggo! I know you can do it and am so proud of the young woman you have become! You're all grown up!!
Lot's to pray for right now and lot's of things weighing heavy on my heart! Looking for some clarity and guidance!
