Somedays

Some days it does not pay to be yourself and other days you get a bonus. I can not tell you what today will hold or tomorrow but you can recall what yesterday was and learn from it. Live life, love life, create life, and memories. Remember those who have gone before us, think of those that are ahead of us, but remember to look at those around us. Surround yourself with things that will allow you to grow, to learn, to laugh, and to love.

On a more personal note, my son Xavier is 4 months old (looking like a one year old), my daughter Kira is 18 months old (looking like a three year old) going on 30 as an independent woman, and my older son Demitri is now 9. Time flies when you are a mom, some days it is slow, others it is a blink of an eye, but all memories to say the least.

Kira is enrolled into gymnastics and climbing everything, and starting to talk and potty train. She is one inch short of three feet and 29 pounds.

Xavier started to eat rice cereal and he tends to enjoy sitting up. Actually he would prefer it over laying down. He is a needy boy and weighs a ton (okay 20 pounds) but still a lot for a baby.

Demitri is a gaining friends and is enjoying creating comics. He is an inch short of five feet and well he is big enough to be an adult even though he is only 9.

I only have three more classes left to graduate college, so go me. That is exciting news. I will most likely take a few months break and then go back to get my master's in special education. We shall see though. Probably not with Ashford though, because I think I am done with that insitution.

Steve is doing good. He has been looking for a new job just because he is very under paid, but he has a sense of loyalty to this company because he has been there for over 12 years. Which is understandable and I told him my concerns and I said it is ultimately up to him in what he wants to do, and above all I want him happy.

Roman is hoping to go back to Mesabi to finish school but paperwork is still up in the air, so we are unsure if he is going or not. If he does, he starts the 27 of this month, so hopefully everything gets squared away by then.

Well it is time for me to rest, because Xavier is tired and I will admit so am I. Mom's need more energy to care for their family, but even though some days I wonder what the hell I was thinking, I don't think I would change anything, well unless I can change if we won the lottery cause then I would do that, that we would win big, so we can all have what we want and what we need. :)

Hugs to all,
