It has been a long, two years since I have blogged about anything. I am going to be as open and honest as I can, however, so much has happened, it will probably take some blogging therapy to even get it off of my chest.
The summer of 2016 my world came crashing down when my parents got divorced. They say divorce is hard on young kids. They are trying to figure out where they fit in now that their world is turned around. I will never argue with that statement. However, having 31 years of memories (at that time), thinking "were they all fake?", left me in a time of depression. My mom moved in with my sister and my dad moved in with me and my family. Having two children asking questions was another very difficult part of the equation. Not only could they not understand any of it, I had to do my very best job to still be "normal." During this same time period, my husband's mother was going through a very difficult stage of substance abuse. I thought our entire world was crashing down before my eyes. I still have many questions and still wonder about a lot. When I think back on everything, my two kids pushed me through. Whether they know it or not...they give me a strength I only gained when I became a mama. Realizing I have our Maddie only 5 more years til she goes to college, I had a change of occupation this year. My goal is to really be there for them more. We have made a pledge to get off of electronics beginning at dinner until bedtime. We take walks, play games, even pull up our favorite songs and make ourselves look ridiculous singing and dancing to them (it is awesome to pull up "old" songs and have your children look at you like you are crazy!!). Bare with me as I begin to journey back into this world of blogging. I am super excited and nervous at the same time. My Repurpose for Today : BE THERE.
