For one I am so thankful all my children, ex step children, grandchildren, and family are all healthy. When you see and hear about so many with health problems, you need to thank God for what we have received.
I am thankful the biopsy results on my mother came back negative. No, I haven't mentioned it. We've all been waiting for a couple of months for the final stages of test to be done. When you're older they take alot more precautions before putting them under I guess to make sure all is safe. So, she's fine, 77 years old, and I'm sure will live to be in her 90's like her mother!
I am so proud of my older daughter for never stopping on going to school to complete her career. It has been hard for her. Married, divorced, single, relationship, married, separated, relationship,
living in another town away from family, raising 2 small daughters on her own, full time school, nursing in fact that doesn't leave much time for working, managing to live off very meager funds, and succeeding through all of this in school and on top of that, she is president of her nursing class, and keeping a B average if not better! So proud!
I am proud of my son that has struggled for years on finding his way. He's still young, well, a young adult male, but he has finally gotton away from bad influence people, gotton a job, and keeping it, and living with a couple that have been such a great influence on him. I have worried so much about him for years and now I feel like I can relax when it comes to thinking of him.
My youngest. Now she is the one I worry and stress about. It is she that is hanging out with people that could care less from what I see if they sleep in the bed all day, don't seem to worry where their money is coming from, lives on disability off their parent, and food stamps. She won't live here with me. Doesn't like my rules. It has been offered but she knows I don't accept the BS lifestyle. She is in and out of school. I have ragged her on and on about keeping her car in shape since it's old and needs to stay running. It is so ragged out I'm surprised it makes it out of the driveway. She is signed up to go to Fall semester again at another different tech school. I can only hope she doesn't drop out of this one and persues it. I have lost my patience with her decisions. That doesn't mean I have turned my back. I haven't. But I did make the decision that her choices are her choices and she will have to accept what happens with them. I am not choosing whatever she does. So, I hope soon I can say I am proud of her for what she is accomplishing and done.
I am glad my two ex stepdaughters have come back to live with their father. Yes, I am there for
them just like for my own. When and if I can. Their dad is pretty hands on all the time though. There's so many times I wish I had listened to him more regarding the freedom I gave my kids when we were all together and they were growing up. He was more strict and I was more as I realize it now, giving in due to guilt. Maybe the 2 youngest of mine would have different lives now if I'd been stricter. Boy, can I give out some different advice now!
I gripe about my job, but am so glad I have one when so many others don't. I may not have much left over after a paycheck, but I have to remind myself and look again to appreciate that I am getting my bills paid.
Just thinking....
