Hello readers,
This week has been an interesting one with more ups and downs than a Six Flags roller coaster. I won't go into detail about the downs, but it is related to the job situation and my own personal demons. My pride took a beating this week, but I've learned the importance of leaning on those when needed, and reaffirmed that I want to make a living by helping others. Thankfully, I'm well on this path and I may get there sooner than I previously thought.
Despite my lack of employment, TJ and I are doing well, we may even have a big announcement in the next few months, but I'll leave it at that for now. Right now we're focusing on working together to achieve goals that we've set for ourselves, and to raise our little mini nerds the best way possible. Speaking of them, they start their new school this week and they couldn't be happier.
Enough for the updates I suppose, on to my random thoughts.
To those playing the "Breast Cancer Awareness" game on facebook, why? Posting how many "weeks" you are and what you're "craving," isn't the most informative way to bring about breast cancer awareness. In the past I've thought these games were kind of fun (the bra one), then got a little weird (purse location), and then got flat out ridiculous (shoe size). And why do we have to leave the men out of it? They can get breast cancer too!
Speaking of cancer, I've recently been invited to become a Power User for this Relay year, and I will be more or less a leader or guide to other online chairs. Which also reminds me, I'm looking for a co-chair for Tehachapi if anyone is interested! Sometimes I wonder if I've taken on too much by being on the committee for an event so far away, but the feeling that I may be making a difference is totally worth it.
And now for something completely different. Thank you to all the readers that sent ideas on how to make mommy friends, I greatly appreciate it and hope to be using these ideas at a playground or school soon! I also thank you for the support I received after the frustration post. We're very fortunate to have good readers and friends.
I also promise that we'll get TJ to start writing posts again, as some of you may know, he lacks confidence in his spelling and grammar, so he's a little shy when it comes to writing. I'm hoping to get him back to writing soon!
Finally, I wanted to share an idea with you all, to be honest this is TJ's idea. As a few of you know, my life has been quite a journey, and most of the times, a downright struggle. Months ago, TJ suggested I start writing about my life and at the time, I brushed him off by asking, "Who would want to read that?"
Today I woke up and realized something. It's not about who reads it. It's about sharing my story. A literary affirmation to myself that I can survive. And if it happens to help someone that reads it? Bonus.
