First Day of Summer

The days are noticeably longer now and the kids are officially on Summer Break!   My sons will be in Middle School as I attempt to potty train the toddler. Guess life is constantly full of new things. The only constant is that things will always change. I am beginning to feel a little insignificant and its not a feeling I enjoy very much. Lots of malice thoughts and chain smoking. Maybe he will come around. Maybe I will. But between the two of us, I'm the stubborn one. I cant be held accountable for my actions done in anger. Or at least that is what I keep telling myself. So I am going to try not to be angry and enjoy summer. For what its worth, someone is benefiting from all the attention. Even if it isn't me. Another day gone. Hello Summer... can I have my tan back please? Sincerely, Neglected Mom.

Reconnect

Good morning. It is 9am on this beautiful Thursday morning. I havent  been able to really sit and write lately. Coming back from our vacation which was over a month ago now and I am still trying to regain my ground. It was an awesome vacation, if I do say so myself. We reconnected with old friends and family and I got to put faces to the names J has been throwing around for 3 years. I know it was good for his soul. Our daughter got to meet her Great grandmother as well as her Great grandfather. She loved every minute of it as did I. The days of course passed all too quickly and our goodbyes were bittersweet. J and I celebrated our anniversary in the keys complete with champagne and amazing food. Shout out to Chef Michael's in Islamorada, Awesome food and great service! Our lovely host in the keys were outstanding. J's best friend, wife and two young kids to keep my little one company. They were so gracious and warm, it was like staying with a sibling. Our only regret was not being able to see everyone on our list. However we did come pretty darn close. Sorry Shonna and E! When it comes down to it, it was nice to see who your true friends really are. We learned that we still have and always had many.
