Well, I have done it again. 2 1/2 months on neglecting this blog, and here I am again, vowing that I, L.W. , will post on this blog on a regular basis. In theory, I know this sounds easy, but quite honestly... life gets in the way. A lot has happened since my last post in November. Yet again, a seemingly good guy, has disappointed me & let me down. I have started a new job, the holidays have come & gone, and I had the best New Year's Eve EVER!!!! Not to mention, we have had J's football banquet (the last of his high school career). So... where to start???
As you know, I have not been the luckiest person in love. I have had my heart stepped on & broken in half, and dating in your late 30's is not easy! Just when you think you meet a normal, nice guy... you are completely blind sided, and realize that maybe , just maybe, good guys no longer exist. Well... that's where I was, until New Year's Eve. This New Year's Eve was the first time I have actually been out on NYE in forever! I wasn't sitting at home, I wasn't babysitting kids, I was out and I was having a BLAST! There was one guy in particular that I thought was particularly nice. He was nice, he was funny, he was the designated driver, and most importantly, he didn't mind putting up with all of the yahoos there that were drinking. We danced that night. The next day, he was my "friend" on FB, the next week we chatted, then texted... then actually spent some quality time together. I must say... I had the best time! He was a gentleman by far, and he is funny! He makes me laugh, and he can say one simple word, and I grin from ear to ear. He has decided me and my friends are a very harsh group of people. He has figured out that I am an extremely untrusting person, but... I am trusting him (until he gives me a reason not to). We are now 3 weeks into dating, and I am enjoying every minute of it. I am ejoying talking to him, and getting to know him. And, for the first time in a long time, I am hopeful for the future!
Now... my sweet kids! Words cannot express how proud of J I am! There is no greater honor, than to hear the kind words of football coaches and his fellow players, and watch your child be honored for all his accomplishments. Then my sweet K, as we were watching TV this past week, and we were talking about the shooting of the congresswoman in Arizona. She very sweetly says, "Mom, I don't like Obama." I said, "Why?" She said, "First of all, he doesn't believe in Jesus and next... he is simply a Democrat." Wow.... I just had to laugh. She then so sweetly informed my that our family is "Republican only". I am so thankful, at the age of 10... she has her political views figuered out! :) Then, my sweet C. While everyone else is demanding attention, he is simply hanging out, making everyone laugh! The eternal people pleaser & sweetheart!
So, that is all I have for now... but I will leave you with one quote, "dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today". That my friends is what I am doing in 2011. I am living everyday to the fullest & making the most of it!
