So Monday's are my day off- usually the day I do my homework, go to the store and try to straighten the house. Monday's are the day I get to spend a little time alone, Mondays are the day I don't go to the office. Mondays are mine...until their not. You know like when you have a sick child on a Monday- then your day changes, or when an emergency comes up. Sometimes what we think should be and what are, are very different. Sometimes i have to remind myself that when we have interruptions good or bad that how I handle them reveals a lot about me. I am trying to embrace them more and realize that some will interrupt as often as you allow them. I think it goes back to boundaries. And making sure we have some in place to protect ourselves and our family.

Yesterday Kailyn turned 10. That does not seem possible. We went to the movie "how to train your dragon" it was a very cute movie. Then we went to Red Robin. I love her, she is so compassionate and loving. I am so blessed to have her in my life. She was an excellent final chapter to our little family. What would we do without her?

I want to spend more time with my family, not just time but quality time. So I am working on the schedule...again. Working on the how to fit it all in and realizing that sometimes you just don't fit it all in. sometimes  some things can be left undone. I realized that I will celebrate my kids birthdays every year but I may not get to celebrate in person with them every year when they are adults. So I want to cherish the days I have with them here under our roof.

The last 18 months have been interesting to say the least. We are thankful for God's provision, and we are thankful for the people that have stood beside us and with us. Now we are looking ahead and asking God to give us clear direction and focus for the future. That we just wouldn't be here b
