Well let us see how last night went shall we?

I was trying to get this blog in some kinda order after changing hosts. I have a temporary Wordpress Theme up, but I like how it’s situated. Just not the colors or lack thereof. But, when I went to have fun and change stuff around the most HUGEST (is that a word?) headache hit like a ton of bricks. Oh my goodness. Then, it was so bad I felt sick. So, off the computer I went and straight to bed.

Then, the hubby comes home – bless his heart. Dotting all over me and taking care of me like the wonderful hubby he is. We watched Ghost Whisperer Season Two Disc Two – one or two episodes and I was done. I had a pounding headache and felt like crud.

Then, we got into an argument. A new one? No… more of the same thing. It didn’t end well so this morning I got on the phone and told him I was sorry. Lordy. Lordy. Being married means so many things, but one thing it means is ya can’t get away from them. LOL So you better make up.

Making up is fun actually. He’s been so wonderful lately, I guess feeling sick mixed with other stuff just set me off. No bigge – we *kissed* and made up so to speak.

It’s been rough here. He’s working so hard and my client base has dwindled due to so many things. So I’m barely making it financially. Which means, he’s doing all the work. I’m at home taking care of the house, making sure my kids get all their school stuff done, and working on the clients I have left – ’cause I love them and am very grateful to have them.

My kids are both in Independent Study now. It’s like homeschooling really. I have their schedule every day of what they need to do, I meet with their teacher once a week to get more work for them and turn in their assignments (rather, they do that – I take notes). BUT their report cards came in! WOW! It’s the biggest improvement I’ve ever seen from them. They are so proud! So is this momma.

So my husband is working away while I’m doing all of these things that are important – but, what happened to me holding my own financially? I was the sole supporter for over 10 years now I’m home? It’s a huge adjustment.

I’m starting school on the 20th of this month. I’m almost embarassed to say what for ’cause I’ve been laughed at a few times. But I’ll say it here – and let me be very clear this is what I had wanted since I was young, but babies etc. well… you know what happens to plans when you have the little ones. Okay, my major is Physics. Yes, laugh all ya want. Who knows I could change my mind. I’m already an Accountant, this would be a complete career change that will take YEARS to get to. But there are some really neat opportunities just in the first year of being an undergraduate! No laughing… okay, you can laugh. We’ll see how far this goes, but at least I can go for it!

In February I’ll be 41 years old/young. I’m so extremely excited about my 40s! It’s me time after my Stephen is graduated in June of 2010. That’s not that far away. Jimmy goes into the USMC on June 14th, and my daughter is already out and on her own. I do have my Step Son Daniel that will be 14 (OMG!) on the 11th of this month, but his momma does all the hard work with him. I just get to love him to death when we get him. So I’m almost done… wow.

Many things are going on now in my life – I just want to be sure I enjoy ever moment of it you know?

Wow, life is Grand!

One reason you won’t see alot of *deep* conversations like yesterdays here, is that this blog is my reach to others to give Love and Light.  When things go a bit bumpy, I do write here – but overall, this blog is to send YOU Love and Light.  From my heart to yours.

With everyone’s beautiful comments regarding my son – I’d like to give you “Friday Feel Good Day”.  Just a post with pics that I’ve found from Photobucket online, that I can share with you.

Colors are a sort of therapy for me as well.

I get a bit cheery when I see photos with alot of color and bright contrasts.

So what better way to send us into the weekend – then to have some nice visual fun!

I hope everyone will have a wonderful weekend!

From my house to yours – Happy Friday!

Love and Light,

Monica

I’m not going to Japan, but my mother-in-law is.  She’s originally from Japan and since her hubby past away last October, her next step in her life is to go back home.  We had a family get together to say our goodbyes.  Very difficult.  My poor hubby is feeling like he lost his dad and now his mother.  We are planning trips to Japan, so we are in hopes to see her this summer.

She’s really a wonderful lady, very sweet and kind to those she cares for.  She took care of her husband night and day through his cancer.  Very strong lady.  I admire her and love her.

Some little candid shots of the day:

First, it was such a nice day the frogs in the backyard were having a GREAT time.

The drive always leads us through Vasco Road.  Cows, barns, nice green colors and a little bit of US pride (painted immediately after 9/11 by a local).

The party was full of family – here’s the girls!  I’m the second from the left… L-R Felicia (my sister!), Moi, June (my momma in law), and Sidonia (D’s brother’s better half – hee hee).

Um, Sidonia is a WIZ at the margaritas!  Although I don’t drink at any other time, anything she creates is a yummy experience.  Oh, btw I can only have one I’m quite the light weight.

Little bit of an issue – D’s brother had a bit of a fender bender on his way over.  Ouch!

We own the townhouse his momma has been staying in, here’s the outside with all of the garages… I’ve been thinking we should live there after the kids graduate.  He really doesn’t wanna.  He says he deserves an 8 car garage.  So, I guess I deserve my forest in the backyard!  Not sure where that’ll take us!

More girly time – Me and Sidonia

Even more girly time – Me and my sis

The cake for June

My son Jim and my hubby – this family just can’t look at a camera without goofing around!

My family as we were leaving – I can’t seem to stop getting all teary eyed… I just love her so much.  L-R Back Row – My son Jimmy, My hubby, Moi, my son Stephen.  Front L-R my son Daniel J and my Mother In Law – June

We love you June… and are going to miss you terribly when you are gone.  It just gives us an excuse to go see Japan!

Love and Light,

Monica
