So, I made it through the day....I know many of you were wondering....
Well, I made it to 8:08pm anyway!
I have to say-some of tonights distraction actually makes me laugh the more I think about it-because i discovered in a conversation with my 9 year old that "mega" is a word that is back in the vocabulary for 9 year olds. I also discovered that (try and keep up, it gets confusing) Isaacs OLD girlfriend and Isaacs BEST friend were going out-and Isaac started liking someone new. He told another friend he likes this new girl, and his friend blabbed to everyone. Isaac wasn't mad though. Everyone wound up telling this new girl-and she's very shy, so I don't know how she feels about this news. The best friend is OK with Isaac liking said NEW girl (because he used to go out w/ the new girl, but now goes out w/ the old girl). BUT, now the new girl broke up w/ the best friend b/c she likes Isaac again. I told you-try to keep up. Now, imagine this ALL IN ONE BREATH! This then led to the "just be a friend to everyone, don't tell anyone something that you'd be angry if it got out &, you do'nt need just 1 best friend @ your age. This was a lengthy conversation & I gotta say...it's been a crazy few weeks w/ the new hormones this kid is experiencing. Blah....
This was an excerpt from a conversation I had earlier with someone-it was a good day for these words..
It is not TIME itself that helps, but rather what you DO WITH THE TIME. If you curl up in a ball, pull the shades, and let your sadness take over, no days, weeks, or months off the calendar are going help make you feel better. But if you use that grieving time to reflect and express your sadness and anger in a healthy way so the pressure does not become unbearable, life can become worth living again.
I think I'm still in the "curled up in a ball stage". Today was a little difficult.....But each day is a little bit different. As you can see though-my time is well spent teaching Isaac & CALEB to be decent citizens of this community-
Now, if I can remind myself to check Isaac for a belt every morning....so that I don't pick him up and think in my head"Where is that kids parents-his pants are down below his butt" before I realized it was MY KID.....Ugh-My time is well spent.....
