Hmmm

Sometimes there are things I would like post about but I am not sure I want to share those things with everyone. Sometimes these things are the ones that weigh most heavily on my mind but that probably has to do with the fact that I don't feel comfortable sharing them and feel I have to carry it on my own. I know eventually I will share but just not yet. Today has been one of those days where you feel kind of sad but you can't really pinpoint what it is you are sad about. There are a few different things that may be causing this and my guesses are the thing that I am not ready to share stressing me a bit, or the fact that today was J's last regular Sunday home with us for a while, combined with the fact that I need to get a really good sleep. Everything just bothers a person more when they are tired. Next Sunday brings the start of J's new shifts and I have mixed feelings about this. One thing I am soooo looking forward to is that finally after almost 7 years he will be able to sleep at home every night of the week :) Two things I am not looking forward to him working Sundays and having to work basically 9-9 Monday - Thursday. It will be a tough change for all of us. He is such an awesome Dad and for him to basically not be able to see the kids for 4 whole days every week will be hard. This change was one of the ones you just grin and bear because the alternative was definitely worse. I think it will be workable and survivable but difficult at first. Oh well I will end with some things that are coming up that we are looking forward to.
#1 - Halloween because we have kick ass costumes to wear thanks to my wonderful mother in-law!
#2 - Christmas because we get to spend it with J's family this year!
#3 - May because 2 new babies will be joining our family (one on each side)!
#4 - July because school is out and because summer is awesome and I expect this summer to be especially awesome !!
I am sure that there are plenty of other things that I am looking forward to but those are definitely the highlights that I am most looking forward to. Thanks for stopping by and cheers to you.

Just a Quick One

I know I said I planned on writing more often but it has been a while. Oh well I am still here and I suppose that is what counts. Really what I am doing right now is procrastinating. I really should be done getting stuff ready for tomorrow and in bed but I am not completely ready for tomorrow and I am obviously not in bed. I am sure I will be tired tomorrow but I know it will be a good day. Looking forward to having some of J's family here and some of my family including my Grandma. I will be thinking of those that we have lost and will be having our first Thanksgiving without and I will remind myself to be thankful for the time we had. I am thankful for my family and for J's family. I am thankful for our friends. Things are tough but I am feeling good because we have the love and support of so many wonderful people. I am also thankful for the 3 beautiful and wonderful children I have. Those are the things that I am thankful for this year. What are you thankful for?
