What a wild ride!

Sometimes life catches you off guard and the next thing you know...BAM! Right in the face...

It's not a bad thing sometimes.  At least not for me.  My 'wow' moment came when I realized life is too short to work 2 jobs and miss out on my son and daughter's life.  I'm not sure at what point that I realized that after being married for so long, I needed to venture out on my own.  By venture out, I mean...move 3 miles away, still invite the husband and kids for dinner, have my son most of the week...etc.

Maybe it's a midlife crisis.  Nah.  I moved and my husband knew I was going to do it.  He has been very supportive and considering the time I divorced from my first husband, this is unreal.  Since I stopped working two jobs, we spend more time together than ever.  I moved a whole 3 miles away and guess what?

He just got an apartment in my same complex!  It is truly amazing what some maturity and actual love can do for a couple.  We are both so supportive and help each other.  I'm actually glad he moved here.

I told him we could date but he'd have to ask my dad.  Can't having some man living in my house!  Everyone thinks we'll move in together but I think this 'time a part' as in seeing each other everyday...living next door to each other...may just bring us closer.

It's been a wild ride but a fantastic one and no matter what happens, we are a team, a family and the rulers of our world.

Okay, rulers of our world may be a little dramatic.

We all know the kids rule our world.


Until next time...

That's life...

I love that song by Frank Sinatra...

Sometimes life throws you a surprise or two.  Sometimes for the better.  Life is full of love and joy.  I know this to be true because I've known it and still do.  Every now and then you need to make a change.  It's not always easy, but in the end you know you'll be a better person for it. 

I've had a crazy year for the most part.  Well, all of it's been crazy to be honest.  As the year comes to an end, I can look back and say...WOW!!!  Life is awesome when it has a 'wow' factor in it. 

I'm an honest person.  I can say that I screamed, cursed, cried and did it all.  However, sometimes it is what it is. 

I'm in a good place and my family is also.  I love them all no matter what and nothing will change that.  They love me too. 

Life is good.  That's life...
