Challenges

Ok, so I'm sitting at my desk right now, just bored out of my ever livin mind....there are 1001 other places I definately would rather be, and a 1001 other things I would rather be doing. But, I don't have a choice at the moment...being a single mother sometimes sucks!!! Momma's gotta bring it home! Gotta pay those bills and feed that child....if it were just me..heck, I could get away with eating cereal all day everyday, but that doesn't work when you've got another person to be responsible for. Anyone else out there that could just live on cereal??? Come on, I know I'm not the only one!

I'm a tad bit bummed today, was really freakin bummed yesterday......should be ok tomorrow. I was hoping that I would actually get to meet my boyfriend in the next couple weeks, but it will be more like 5-6 more weeks. He still doesn't have the ok to fly and he's got business trips lined up for the next 2 weeks straight, so we are shooting for the 20th of June....AAAHHHH, the wait is killing me. Just for clarification, the business trips are ones that he can drive to. NO flying involved. Anyway, we are both beyond ready to meet and move on to bigger and better things....like starting a life together. I know it's all very weird....what can I say?

Monday my son will turn 17....(he's living in Vegas with dad), he was actually born on mother's day which was pretty cool. I about had a mini-meltdown the other day when a friend of mine mentioned him being a senior next year and graduating. Hello......not my baby... he can't be about to turn 17..and in a few months be a senior...and this time next year graduating from high school. AHHH heaven help me, where in the world does the time go??? Anyone have an answer to that.....please fill me in.

My bff and I were going to start a scrapbook challenge starting the beginning of May, but we kinda haven't coordinated with each other and started yet. I have however finished 3 whole layouts that I did on NSD but can't post them..bummer, cuz they are so so so cool, but they feature my boyfriend, and he's not so cool with his face being anywhere on the internet, it has to do with the whole working undercover stuff that he did for years. I can't blame him really, but I sure do wish I could share. He did bodybuilding competitions for years and everytime I look at the pictures, my blood pressure shoots up a little.....those are the pictures I scrapped! YUMMY!

Speaking of challenges, they come at us from all different directions, some help inspire and motivate, while others can leave us drained and frustrated. I for one am grateful for the challenges, I know that for me.......it has helped make me the person I am today and has made me a much stronger person. It definately hasn't been a cake walk while in the middle of my most trying times, but looking back I can see the growth and changes that have come. So, whether it's being a single mom, having to work full-time at a job that is NOT challenging, having a child live away from me, or waiting to meet the man I hope to marry.......it's all good, cuz this is all the stuff that makes up life....and life is awesome!!

  1. My guy and I were long distance for the first year we were together. Hard but makes being together that much more appreciated. Good luck!
