I know  I say I will do better and blog- but then I get busy and I have to share the computer at home with 4 other children. Who all think they need email, webkinz, and all other things that require the internet. I don't think I had a computer until I was married. Of course now my children are all asking for a cell phone. I ask them last night when having this conversation, "where do you really go with out me?" There response was "mom, we need it for texting!" Of course. What was I thinking. So then after we ( Jason and I ) said NO again. We went for pizza! Where we gave the kids money to play games- Colton then proceeded to win a pay as you go cell phone! Sometimes- I can't win for losing. :)

So today I let the kids skip school to go to Greenwood's last day of school.  They were able to get their yearbooks, and see their friends. It was a good time. As we were leaving and the kids were piling in the car, there were tears and bad attitudes that we were not there anymore. And it hit me- that we had to stop living in the past- or we can never enjoy the present or learn to be happy with the future. I tried to tell the kids this- and I don't think they got it. Blue Valley has been different. It has had its challenges and will cont' to be something they have to adjust too. We left our comfort zone to do something new. That is never easy. Some of the kids are adjusting ok, and others are having a time of it. Which means that I as a Mom- whom  in a bad moment the kids blame for leaving their "comfort zone" feels guilt. I question all the decesions we have made in the last year, but I know that every decesion Jason and I have made in regards to jobs, church, moving have been prayed over. Not just once but many times. I wish it was easier for them. Sometimes I wish it was easier  for all of us.

Today- learn to move on- look for the good in the right now and press on to a great future.
