The God of my understand's wicked sense of humor ..


That I never appreciate until about 3 - 4 days later .. AFTER everything is resolved .. LOL. 

So last night I took my baby girl to a concert and on the way up there was a very serious conversation.  I am so blessed to spend time with my girl on that level and the fact she feels she can share with me what she does is truly a gift.  Some people say that their kids tell them everything and really only reveal a part of who they are .. my girl truly has blessed me with all of who she is and I value that on a level that is beyond words.  Of course serious with me is relative because like I try to tell my girl .. life is a series of bumps and twists, the only thing we can do is either throw our hands in the air and enjoy the ride or hold tight to all of the fears that may or may not happen and the ride of life is going to happen anyway.  I learned and it took me a LONG time .. throwing my hands up is the way to roll .. at least I am in control of how I choose to react.  We laughed until we cried and then laughed some more .. she said to me mom .. there is no way I would be brave enough to have this conversation if not for you.  We talked about parenting and I do share freely about my short comings as a parent .. LOL .. it's like I tell her they were out of the book at the hospital the day she was born that had everything you ever needed to know about parenting from ages birth to 50.  Funny thing is I have yet to meet anyone who got that copy .. lol. 

During this very serious conversation of ours my contact in my RIGHT eye not the left one this time decided to act up and I'm thinking oh crap .. I'm in Dallas I have never been to this concert venue forget about going TO Dallas .. LOL!!  AND there is HUGE traffic .. she says to me are you ok .. well .. all of a sudden I realize I have 1/2 of a contact in my hand.  I'm thinking dam .. I'm one eyed S again!!  WTH!?  So 1/2 the contact came out.  It stung bad too. 

So I was able to drive to the venue and we got parked we were literally already there when this happened and we went and had a good time.  It was close to 10pm and we had been there since about 630pm .. LOL .. E looks at me and says Mom I think we need to leave before everyone else does .. I listened to my girl and said yup .. time to go.  I'm SOOOO glad we did driving at night with one eye is far different than during the day.  She had a GREAT time for her first concert we took a ton of pictures and just had fun singing and being silly those are rare moments that I get to do that with my kid who is almost an adult. 

During the day I can see.  During the night not so much.  So duly noted on that one. 

I'm just beside myself though because I just drained my account to purchase a car and I don't have the money to get my exam or new contacts this was my last pair and I did have a plan .. LOL .. God is laughing though and I'm like REALLY?! 

Anyway, it's all good and things will workout I'm just beside myself at the moment.  So conversations with God this AM are ok dude .. you thought this was funny show me the way out of this mess!!  LOL!!

I'm dying laughing silently of course going ok .. is this considered drama?  I mean I feel like Lucile Ball NOT like it's drama just a pain in my butt!!

 

Hugs S :)

Acceptance of life on life's terms is a true gift of this program . I still have not developed a sense of humor on these issues however i am still a work in progress. :)

Thanks everyone!!!

Pink that is my ALL time favorite picture of the two of us for a myriad of reasons. No more wrestling for her she's moving to color guard .. LOL. Did I tell that story? She was in theater this year, gets picked to do a solo monologue one of 4 I'll have you know for her theater class she was totally psyched about .. well .. she gets done me the proud mother .. oh honey you did GREAT!!! She looks me dead in the eye after saying thanks and I hear the one thing I never saw coming .. LOL .. That was fantastic!! I'm joining color guard!! I literally look behind me and go HUH?! I thought she was talking to someone else .. LOL!!

She's a hoot anyway and doesn't even know how funny she is .. She's almost 40lbs down at this point. I wish she could and would let go more the way she did that night. I think that she's starting to come into her own though and I only pray she has many, many more moments and memories like the one we shared Saturday night. It probably helps that I'm so much happier for no other reason than just you know .. life is life and life truly does go on.

I'm so blessed though .. AND I got the contact out and I reversed my eyes .. it is my LEFT contact not the right that tore in half .. one of my best girlfriends fished it out .. LOL!! THANK GOD!! That was going to get ugly. She could not believe that sucker had lodged itself where it had!!??

So last night was celebrated with good food, great kids and a good friend .. I really had a great weekend .. now you realize I go into work and people are always stopping me .. what in the world did you do this weekend S?!

Love it!!!
