Well, I said I'd come back and post some more on my mom's visit but I just don't feel like I need to right now. (or want to right now). The glass is half full with all of the wonderfulness of my family; Rob, Anthony, Alec, Austin, the dogs, and my good friends, that I just feel so blessed and rich in those relationships that I simply need to celebrate them, nourish them, and most of all, breathe.
Tonight, Austin asked me again if we could go to Washington DC in the spring; he really wants to go there and visit the White House and all the other "hot spots". So, we jumped on Southwest.com and looked at flights and check the spring break calendar for school. We had such a nice 20 minutes of talking about it, although it kept him up past his bedtime, it was worth it. It's moments like that, that you MUST hold on with both hands and just let happen. He is twelve now, doesn't like to kiss me in public (or even stand too close to me), so I just soaked it all up. We were laying in my bed, with the laptop, making crazy travel plans. It was so fabulous. (still smiling - thank you Austin)
That's what I'm thinking about now; creating those moments for me and the kids, one moment at a time.
I'm choosing to leave my mom out of it for now. I'm come back to that another day.
BUT for now, I'm feeling pretty good and I appreciate my kids, Rob, and my friends for giving me so much to be thankful for.

You are wonderful. Your boys are wonderful...one of them really cracked me up today. They both make me laugh. You are such a blessing in my life, and I wish I was better at showing you how important you are to me. I wish I had felt better when your Mom was here, so I could have celebrated her visit with you as well as taken a little burden from you. Lesson learned.
