I haven't been a very good blogger recently - people keep asking me if I've stopped blogging.....the answer is NO! I love to blog, but we've had a difficult summer. Our family has gone through a lot of emotions over the summer - several deaths in our family and dearest friends. Lee's mother recently passed away. She lives in California and it was very upsetting for him #1 because he had not spoken to her in a while and #2 because he wasn't able to attend her funeral in California.
On another note, I am worried about Logan....his OCD has gotten to an all time high this summer. He is so obsessed with PBS Kids. He used to just be ok with watching a show on PBS so he could see the logo at the bottom of the screen, but now he seems obsessed with Dot and Dash (the characters who promote PBS Kids). Dot and Dash appear for about 10 seconds and he wants them on all the time. I am really unsure what to do at this point. Do I just turn the TV off all together? Medication? I have no idea, but we are all about to be in for a ride when school starts back. I start graduate school in August - which is going to be difficult to say the least and the boys start 2nd grade. I am worried about them going back to school because their routine has been absolutely destroyed this summer and I am just as bad. UGH I have two classes that start at 7:30am. I am going to be a walking Zombie for a while. Sorry this blog has been on the depressing side, this is one reason I haven't blogged. I felt as if I didn't have anything positive to say then I just shouldn't post anything, but that's not life....we all have times like this we go through so why not just share it with the world, lol. Maybe this will help me get out of my funk.
It has been really hard to be alone without my husband for a month at a time. I am ready for school to start back so I can have some adult interaction again. I miss my school friends and having a daily routine.
We did have a great vacation at the beach for a week- I will post some pics. The boys love the beach. Carter loves to ride the waves in the boat and Logan loves standing on the shore letting the water wash across his feet. Ahhh I love those memories. I wish we lived closer to the coast so we could go more than once a year.
I think may have said this before, but when we go to the beach....it is the one place where I don't feel a difference in my kids and others. It is the one place I feel normalcy. They play and love the beach like all the other kids there. It is so nice sometimes to feel normal.
I really think maybe we should relocate to Gulf Shores after I graduate???? Or buy a time share, doesn't that sound absolutely fabulous? Well that just totally brightened my spirits. Until the next time; thank you everyone for supporting my journey! xoxo Toni
