What one thing are you most looking forward to . . .
1. ...today?
2. ...over the next week?
3. ...this year?
4. ...over the next five years?
. ...for the rest of your life?
What one thing are you most looking forward to . . .
1. ...today?
Spending some time with my kids tonight.
2. ...over the next week?
Hanging curtains in my living room.
2b. ...over the next month? (why did they skip that??)
Painting my room. And possibly starting a class in the grad program at U Mass, if I can get myself to stop being pessimistic/ "realistic" about how I "really can't do this."
3. ...this year?
Resolving the potential custody issue around Buttercup. I have been living with possibly losing him this year, for the last three years. It's a chronic, back-of-my-mind stress that I can not shake, which I will never shake, until I know which way it will go, and then I can begin to think about the rest of my life and what the next 4 years will look like. Until then, I'm in a kind of limbo, where I can't think beyond September.
4. ...over the next five years?
Helping Buttercup find the right college and start there, and watching Tyro emerge more as a person, as he moves into adolescence.
. ...for the rest of your life?
Watching my family grow.
