I'm finally feeling well enough to sit at the computer and write. The weekend flew by with so much going on and then I was hit by some evil virus. YUCK! Anyway, things are on the upswing.
We said farewell to a wonderful family on Saturday. Andrea and Nathan as well as there boys were a delight to be around. We really loved getting to know them when we were all in a Marriage Enrichment seminar at church. Andrea was also instumental in getting me to face my fear of the gym. We are going to miss you Bolton family! Hope Texas treats you well.
So the above mentioned farewell party led me to a realization, I have become one of "those dog people". You know the ones, they ooh and goo at their puppies, spend more money on the pooch than their children and take them everywhere they go. Well, that's me! Since adopting Ginger I have become a nut! I talk to her like I talked to the girls when they were babies. Any chance I have to run to Petsmart I take it. I just love to peruse the little clothes, toys and other accessories. I love it when people smile at us when we are walking around. Can we say a little weird? I have taken this little peeing and pooping machine with me everywhere. To the store, to the farewell party, even to church! Yep! Crazy dog lady, that's me!! I am trying to pin point what it is about this little sweetie that has made me so wacko. I mean I have had Grady for over a year and I love him too but it's different. Maybe it's because she is so tiny, or that she loves to snuggle with me under a blanket and sleep, or maybe it's the way she runs to me with wild abandon on those stubby little legs when she spots me. What ever the reason I am truly enjoying it. So if I am labeled a " crazy dog person" then so be it!

Schizophrenia and roller coasters
I went to bed last night with so much running through my head that I thought I might be schizophrenic. I had all these ideas of things I want to write about. Here are a few... my 2oth high school reunion-fun or a waist of money?, did I really start a blog?, the DIY projects that I need to finish are mocking me, school at my age?, why can't I make the gym a priority? and the list goes on and on. Thanks to HGTV and Design Star, why do they have to have so much talking?, I was finally able to dose off. I awoke this morning ready to face the day and write something fabulous. LOL! So here goes. I realized this morning just how comical my life will become in September. I will be a freshman in college, my oldest will be a freshman in high school, I will have a 7th grader, a 2nd grader and a preschooler. That's FIVE schools that I will be traveling to and from almost every day of the week! I may need to replace my GMC yukon xl with a rickshaw that will hold us all or get a job just to cover the gas bill. I have to remind myself it's all going to be worth it. I see it like this... I'm doing something for me to secure a future that I may one day have to traverse alone (God forbid). Greg worries about stuff like that ,bless his heart, he just wants to know that we will be alright. I hope that my girls will find me empowering, a little like Wonder Woman. All I know is that I am freaked out but thrilled. It's like a roller coaster ride! WOOHOO! I just hope I don't throw-up.

Today I begin
Today I begin writing about what is going on in my life and how it will be changing over the coming months. You see as if my life isn't busy enough being married to a navy officer, a mom to 4 girls and keeper of 2 dogs, now I have decided to go back to college and pursue my nursing degree. It's a dream that has been on hold for too long and thankfully my wonderful husband has encouraged me to stop putting it off. So how will I manage the house, the kids, the dogs, the husband, the gym, the classes, the homework (the kids & mine)? With lots of prayer and an occasional shot of whiskey! Just kidding! I'm sure there will be tons of prayer and that God will guide me on this new journey.
