Reflection on the day.... To be honest, it was a really rough weekend, and isn't it ironic, that I spoke last night about being a single mom for mother's day. Who would have thought, I would be tested to the point of wishing there was another adult in the house this evening? Yes, I admit it... as much as I love and want to be with my children, today was one of those days that I know I was being tested. I followed through and did not enable any inappropriate behavior and for that I am so grateful. I still believe my children are the greatest blessing I have and then the love of my family and friends.
The greatest gift a friend could receive is another friend stepping in where someone wasn't for my children. It was a true gift for my children to feel like they had given me more than their card, they were so happy and they understood my tears of joy. For the record , I must state, I always trusted this person... Just didn't think she would go to these lengths to ensure my children wouldn't be upset, for that I thank you once again.... To receive their gift, cards and then the gift and card from your children was overwhelming... It wasn't enough I was trying to get one with God (or however PM says it) it was just the overwhelming feeling of love that brought tears to my eyes. Tears of Joy and gratitude to have such a dear friend. We should all be so lucky! I am blessed and I know it.
To receive a hand written apology from my child tells me he is sincere in his apology. I know these moments of testing will probably become more frequent as we reach the teenage years, but my wish and dream is that as we encounter these moments we will learn a little more to minimize the pain of the next one.
Tomorrow will be a brand new start!!!!! A brand new position, a new location, and a few old faces... it will be great!!! Can't wait to utter those Letters, TGIM.... Sweet dreams to all and to all a good rest of the night.
