So it's been quite a while since my last post. If anyone had told me years ago how busy your life becomes once you become not just a Mommy, but a Mommy of an extremely active child...I probably would have laughed at them thinking they were doing crazy talk.
My son is a busy kid by nature, loves to constantly be going, despises sitting with nothing to do. I'm quite the opposite. Though I love to go and do things, I totally enjoy my days of just "chillin" and relaxing. Joshua played his 1st year of Basketball this past winter and loved it. We are now into the season of his absolute favorite sport, Baseball. This will be mark the first year, however; that he will be playing three sports: Baseball, Football, and Basketball. I really don't know how Mommy's out there do this with more than one child. Though I'm sure most have the help of the other parent (hopefully you do!). I love every minute of my active child (remind me of this when I'm screaming how exhausted I am).
As you know, Joshua started Kindergarten this year (He's a late birthday kid). It has been an incredible joy to sit back and watch my child flourish intellectually and of course socially (he is MY son after all). Though I already see "red flags" waving at me now, like how...SOMEHOW...he ALWAYS seems to make friends who are older than him. It floors me!! I've picked him up from school a few times and he'll be out front talking with a few of the other "guys" and its apparent they are NOT in Kindergarten. As he gets in the car, one of the boys hollars out "See ya later J-dawg" Really??? He's already a J-dawg?? When I asked who that was, he replied "Oh, that's my friend Jake, he's in 2nd grade!" Oh Lordy help me now!!!
On a personal note, the love life is still slow, but I'm ok with that. About a week after my last post, I came in contact with an old flame/friend. Funny thing is, I dated this guy my Junior year AFTER I broke up with the other gentleman I was telling you about. Sometimes I feel like I'm on "recycle" for my life. Oh well! Anyway, he has been a TREMENDOUS attribute to my life at a perfect time that I needed it. I'm TOTALLY enjoying the friendship and I've never laughed so hard...WELL, except when I'm with my friend Kelly! Ahhh Kel - LOL - Kelly and I became friends years ago when we both were servers at a restaurant. Naturally, as most friends do, we lost touch for a few years, and through the wonderful world of the internet, came back in contact. Her husband is a Triple A ball player so her life was constantly on the go. This is the first year that they've settled in one place for their girls to be able to be active in school activities and etc. I'm all supportive for that decision, but it's completely selfish as to why. This has given me tons of time to spend with her and her girls!! There is nothing I love more in life than to laugh and there is always plenty of that when we're together. Again, another person who has entered my life at just the perfect time.
I'm learning that even though there are events in life that can make me want to crawl under a rock and stay there, God always positions people or events in my life that remind me, I am strong, that He never gives me more than I can handle, that He has so much planned for my life STILL, and that I have been given and trusted with an extremely special gift. My son!
Til next time!
