Happiest New Year Yet!!

This year I wasn't able to make the trip to Texas for Christmas so I decided to let the kids go without me. It was a very sad time for me, but the kids had a wonderful time visiting all of our family! My sister came to visit the weekend before Christmas and the kids rode home with her. I sent them with very specific instructions to call everyday, and was very thankful when I actually got a phone call every three days or so =) Kids will be kids! They were so busy with all of their grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and too many family friends to count to even think about calling Mom. Unfortunately~~ since I wasn't there, the only pictures I have of their time home are limited to the few I will snag from my friends facebook page. lol. I was able to get away for New Years weekend and so I made the voyage by train to pick up my angels. Sometimes when I'm away from home for a long period of time I forget how much fun we all have when we're together. Even though I wasn't able to visit all of my family while I was there we had a good time. If it weren't for their very first train ride home, I probably wouldn't have been able to convince my children to come with me! Now, we are back to the grind and actually very thankful to get back to the organized chaos of our busy life. I am attacking this new year with a new attitude and I am positioned for BIG changes!! I have never been so anxious to begin a new chapter in my life. So far it is starting out wonderfully and I am so eager to see what God has in store for our little family this year!

Alabama~ New Orleans & Detox

     I just got back from an amazing trip with my good friend Jenny~ First to Alabama then to New Orleans. I am so grateful that we had the opportunity to stop at my brother's house on the way to visit for a couple of hours (wish my niece Maddie would have been there). My brother & sister-in-law were as funny as ever. I don't get to see them very often at all so the time was much needed! My niece~ the wonderful Tails~ was being her normal silly, loveable self & Maddie was missing in action. Man, I miss those girls! Now on to New Orleans~~      Bourbon Street was the typical "strip" that you can locate in every town. Bourbon street was a smaller scale Vegas and a bigger 6th street from my childhood. The smell was unique, and the art galleries that smelled like horse stalls was an unexpected twist to my walk in the French Quarter. I know it seems like this is going to be filled but nothing but negatives, but it's not. The buildings were ab...

Black Swan

  I went to see Black Swan with a good friend expecting to be blown away by Natalie Portman's performance AND I was. She did an amazing job! I totally believe that she has lost her mind! Lol! The movie is movie theatre worthy and I even think it's worth the late night price. I must warn you that it is somewhat fast, so if you have a difficult time keeping up with reality vs delusions you might want to sit this one out. Also, (obviously) there is alot of ballet~ so again if this isn't your thing you'll want to pass.  The only thing I didn't care for was the three scenes that added nothing to the plot but were strategically placed anyways. Apparently Hollywood canNOT make a movie without throwing some dirty scenes in. To be honest I was sitting there feeling mildly awkward while watching one of the scenes thinking...."Is this really happening?". I won't spill the beans on the rest of the movie just in case you would like to judge for yourself! Overall, f...

Hello...It's me

Well here we are again. Ramblings of the unimportant. My therapist would say that my first step should be to stop the negative self talk, but what would I say then? I am on a journey of healing. After nearing 45 years of various trauma, I'm afraid that it's going to be quite a long journey. My only prayer is that God allows me enough time to work through it before I am called home. I would hate to leave this life in as a disappointing way as I've managed to live it thus far. This is basically going to be my journal to healing. I need an outlet so I decided to dust off this log in and actually use it to get it all out of my head. Here we go.
