In the past 10 years, there have been 7 people that I have known that have passed on. I went to a funeral yesterday and it was an eye opener for me. I am not sad that she had passed or that any of the people that I knew have passed. It makes me think about my life and how I am as a mother/daughter/ young woman and what I need to improve and what I need to let go. I think that I need to come to terms that my mother and I will not have a relationship like she does with my sisters, so I need to quit trying. I also need to come to terms with my kids not being perfect and it is ok to laugh and cry with them, there is no need for me to act like a military mom. I need to come to terms with my own self. I am way over weight and I need to not be sad over that, I need to do something about it. I need to learn to not dwell on money issues.
I am amazed at myself to be honest. I have made it with two kids, no child support, and only 11.00 an hour. We do not get to do alot of things, but they have food, clothes, and a lot of discipline from me.
