Closing and opening a new chapter....

Part 2:

Ok several days later after the previous post. Realization that even though working nights can be difficult.For my family it is best. My stress load is decreasing as I figure out how to work things and organize myself to accomplish the odds and ends of parenthood and the honors of being a mom duties. Brushing teeth, cooking dinner, reading scriptures from the readers kissing them goodnight and watching them drift to sleep before I even left for work. Spending quality time with Cole during our visit to the grocery store talking about his dreams to go to the Olympics for Pole Vaulting.

Watching my kids grow up to be such wonderful kids Malcolm unloading the dishwasher and loading it without being asked. Eve volunteering to make everyone's lunches so I could spend that quality time with Alex and Sebastian at bedtime. How wonderful those things were for me tonight.

I have made a good friend this year. As she and I spend more and more time with each other and our families I have learned to look at the good so much more. She has this amazing ability to do that. I don't even know if she realizes she does it or not. But it's like the text she sent about Alex when she substituted for his PE class. About how wonderful Alex was doing with his brace and seeing the good of not letting it get him down. But then listening as she talked about the blessings of an accident her daughter had been in.

God knows when to put certain people in our lives and lately he has shown me that he knew what I needed to close chapters in my life that I didn't realize were still holding me back by sending me People who can help me close that chapter by just e-mailing me. I know she reads this so Thanks for listening to your heart and e-mailing me. It has made a big difference and I have made a new friend in you.

Then I see my life opening new chapters that I am truly excited about. Cole and I were talking about how the new school boundaries will be sending his friends in different directions to 3 different schools. He simply says" You have to lose friends to get new ones" Wow seriously this came from a 13 year old?

I always thought I was more an optimist but I realize not always. So in this chapter this will change and with this My life and my family will too. We are ever growing in who we are both, spiritually, emotionally, physically(cole informed me he is now taller than me.)and in ways we will not see until years from now.

But as I close the chapter as a stressed out single mom who has had to watch her children deal with a lot of crap.Is now a successful single mom with an amazing set of kids who teach me how truly blessed I am.
