Three Grandmas

With today being Mother's Day I wanted to write about my children three grandmothers.  Since this is my blog I am going to write about my mom first.  The kids love my mom and she is one of the most generous people I know.  She always makes sure the kids are well fed and have a good time at her house.  She was a good mom when we were growing up.  Dad traveled a ton and mom for the most part stayed at home.  But we always had dance lessons, tennis lessons and she some how found a way for us to get there.  I know how hard that is with the two kids I have.

The other Grandmother I would like to talk about is Lee's Step Mother.  She has stepped in to grandmotherhood well.  She loves doing things with the kids like cooking and projects.  She loves the kids. She has become a great friend.  She is such a great house guest and a great hostess.  I can't imagine it was easy for her to jump into a family with six children and all their children and all their issues. 


The third grandmother is a person my children will never meet here on earth  but they are well aware they have a grandmother in heaven.  Lee's mother passed away 10 months before Jake was born.  (don't do the math).  :)   I have often felt her presence over the past seven years.  The kids speak of her sometimes but they are still young and I don't think they get the whole heaven idea. 

I have the most amazing women in my life and I am so grateful for them.

Random Thoughts

I sometimes wonder where to draw the line in this whole blogging thing.  I could make us look like the "perfect" family or I could deal with all of our disappointment and make everybody think that we quite possible have the worse life ever.  Or maybe there is a middle ground somewhere that I have yet to find in this blog.  Today was a rough day.  Don't get me wrong I am so excited that everybody around me is having babies.  But for some reason today I was caught up in the losses all over again.  I am wondering when it stops.  Maybe it never does.  Maybe it will be a life time of wondering what if I would have gone full term.  Several people have asked when (or if) we are going to have another baby.  I am not sure.  Sometimes that answer is yes and sometimes it is no.  But one thing is for certain it isn't right now.  Really I don't need to have a ton of kids to fill some void.  I love my two kids and if that is all ...

It has been a week

Here is how the week went Monday: OUr 25th anniversary. I was sick. We went and tried a Cuban restrant not as good as the food we had in Miami but it was good. We love trying new local places. It ended in tears. I won't go into all the details but I am relaizing that this is not the marriage I want. I am open about what I need and we will go from there. Luke started wrestling. Tuesday: End of the year banquent for Luke and Andrew. Luke recevied the "Most Improved" Awared. Here is the thing about that. His coach talked about how during summer practice he wouldn't even run 100 yeards. He would just stop. At some point after the first meet it clicked and he just ran and did what he needed to do. He went up adn accepted the award with such confidence. Wednesday: Both boys had activities. Andrew had stayed home from school due to not felling wel. My guess is he just needed a rest. He was feeling up for going and making pizzas at the Bishop's hous...

Heavy Week

This week has been so heavy. I had a client pass away and I never got the closure I needed/wanted. Client was not my typical client. He was different and sassy and I looked forward to seeing him every week. Then we went to a presentation. When I tried to explain how dishonest the presenter was I felt ignored. We are pretty anti MLM anyway but not wanting to know is weird to me. There are big changes coming and I am not ready for all the changes. Might be good might be a diaster. Time will tell. Mom's surgery is scheduled in about four weeks. I feel as though she moved it for us. Which is for the best for everybody but still taking on guilt that is not mine to own. Listening to the news about the LDS church shooting/fire in Michigan has been so triggering. I hate that I feel all the all the feeings. How I can envision the people there and the screaming kids and .....on and on. I wonder what changes will come to the church now that prophet died. I hope ther...
