thanksgiving

this year has been one of many ups and downs.. and through it all, the one thing that has remained constant is my wonderful, and amazing family.  i am so incredibly thankful to have a strong family that i know counts on each other and has become even closer & stronger through everything.

i am thankful for my husband.  he is my rock and without him, i could not have survived what i did.

i am thankful for my son.  he makes me smile & laugh, even on the days when it hurts the most.

i am thankful for my mother.  she is the strongest woman i know, and my best friend.

i am thankful for my father.  he is a wonderful man who holds us all together.

i am thankful for my brother.  a long time ago, my mom told me that i would be happy someday i had him.  those days have come.  he has grown in to a caring, sensitive man, who is a wonderful uncle and great brother.

i am thankful for my in-laws.  they helped out with the practical stuff when my world was falling apart.

i am thankful for my friends.   you have all been amazing throughout all we have gone through this year.

i am thankful for my co-workers, boss & job.  i am one of those lucky people that love their job.

and thank you.  for reading and letting me be me.

i'm having a hard time lately coming up with ideas to blog about.  things are relatively easy and quiet with my life these days.  which is very unsettling for me. so today, it's not much of a post.  more of a check in.  to remind myself of the things i've gone through. the things i've done. this blog really has become a place of reflection.  i go back and read the early posts.  how naive, and silly i sounded in my 20's.  to how sad and jaded i became after the loss of my beautiful daughter.  to where i am now.  a divorced mom of two boys, in the midst of her 30's, learning to love again. life's short my friends.  love hard, laugh a lot, take in the beauty of every day, no matter how hard it is to find it sometimes.

Hello Darkness, My Old Friend

So.  It's been a few months since I wrote anything.  I've been going through the motions.  Living life, like busy working moms do.   Pretending like life is amazingly fantastic.   But this week.  Oh this week's been a tough one.  I am finding myself in that familiar place.  Dark.  Sad.  Definitely not living my best life.  So many things are hitting me at so many different times, I don't even know how to stand on my own two feet right now. I'm crying all the time.  I'm picking fights with the man who loves me.  I'm yelling at my kids for mundane things.  I don't want to look at myself in the mirror.  I feel so terribly lonely.  Even surrounded by people all the time, I feel lonely.  Because I don't feel like anyone understands me and what I"m going through.  It's not a good look for anyone.  But I don't know how to change it.  I don't know where to start.  So I think puttin...

a rotten end to the weekend...

so, i had a great weekend at home with mom and dad.. lots of laughs, and relaxing time with them and alex. i left there in my brother's car to bring it back to chester, and he was going to come to my place tonight for a visit with alex and to have supper, and switch cars with me since he had been driving mine since thursday.. then.. mother nature decided to play the cards she's been hiding all winter.. the snow started the closer i got to halifax and by the time i hit the bedford highway, things were messy.. regardless of that, adam and i flipped my stuff out of his car and into mine for me to make the rest of the trip to chester, just in case he couldn't make it down because of the snow. as i drove down the kearney lake road about to hit the highway to go home, the brake line broke in my car. i lost my brakes, on already slippery roads, and did a 180 degree turn in 3 lanes of traffic.. with a baby in the backseat. talk about scary. so, i called adam back and he came to r...
