Roller coaster doesn't cover it however learning to let go of the handle and throw my arms in the air while riding it .. priceless. The ups and downs aren't so fearful or adrenaline inducing which is a good thing.
I had already eluded to the fact that no one could have told me a year ago I would be sitting in a whole other State people watching at this hour in the morning. I had to drop my daughter off at the bus and she is off for a day of wrestling and sports. Now that's a statement I never thought I would use with my oldest child .. lol.
My job situation is going well and I am truly blessed, the kids school has reached out to me which is huge and I'm hoping for some leads on a few things I'm currently working on. The lady I spoke to was lovely and very helpful.
The funniest thing happened the other day .. I have been ill and thankfully it passed fairly quickly I did miss some work which was a bummer. Literally the day after the worst of it I went to the starbucks I'm sitting in now .. very cute barista boy was helping me (not a boy boy .. more of a young man .. LOL .. at least in college in my defense), I'm blaming the meds because my brain over road my mouth for lack of filter and instead of saying "extra hot" I said "extra heart" .. I wound up with a cup written on it with "extra <3" that made me LOL and made my day. It did make me realize that it was the God of my understandings way of saying it's time to be more open and willing in a few other areas of my life. I don't see it anytime soon .. I can at least see the possibilities. That I couldn't of said a year ago .. or at least what I really would like in a partner. I am not in any hurry .. there is no rush .. and I have had some nibbles here and there however no one who is a match so to speak .. I definitely have decided I need someone who is an equal intellectually and I can bond with on that level.
The other thing is I have some goals for myself to get myself situated in school and life so it's not time anyway. I am planning on getting into some more meetings. My sponsor is doing ok .. she's still got quite a fight on her hands .. she's taking it all a day at a time. I'm not happy with her Dr care however that's not my place. So please do keep her in your prayers. She sent me the funniest text the other day so she has her humor and her attitude of gratitude. She's truly someone I admire.
Other than that things are moving forward, and that's a good thing. Hope to be even more settled by January of this next year and hopefully FINISHED with this court stuff sooner than later. Kids are happy and well. My boy has had a rough month .. in the past moth he dropped his tablet shattered the screen. I had decided that I would get him a newer reader for Christmas. However in the mean time has broken his glasses and another child threw his pants in PE and shattered his iPod screen he was devastated over that one. He listens to music all of the time thankfully he has my good taste in music .. lol. Still he was so upset. So I'm trying to figure that all out at the moment. I know that HP will get us through as He always does. Whatever happens at Christmas time .. it will be ok. We have lots of school activities coming up so we will take it as it all comes.
Hugs S :)

I'm kind of jealous, I picture you all warm in your new State while I scrape my windows every morning. I love your spunk and Spirit about what is to come. Something marvelous and more serene I am praying for you! Sending love and support!
