Decisions, Decisions...

So, I took about a year just contemplating whether or not to keep doing a blog. As far as I can tell, the main person who reads it is my ex-husband's wife and I'm still not really sure how I feel about that.

Anyways, obviously I just decided I may as well keep blogging. I have such a bad memory that it's good to have this spot to remind me of how cute my kids were back when, after I've forgotten.

A lot of things that were up in the air have been mostly settled. We are definitely staying put in our little town for at least four more years, so that is a big thing off of my mind. I love it here. Crimson has successfully conquered her first year of middle school with the best grades of her life. That's a pretty big accomplishment in my mind! The best part is that it was entirely self-motivated. That's one awesome life skill and she's really blessed to have that one!

Rejeanne has made so much progress. She's starting to express herself more verbally which is very exciting for me. She's also engaging other kids more. I wonder if the two are connected at all. Either way, she's really growing and doing well. She's still an impish little sweetheart.

Cyrus makes me laugh so much. He totally has my personality, so I now understand how I infuriate people all the time. Sorry about that. He gets over stuff so fast and he's constantly in motion, both body and mouth! He's my little buddy and I love him to bits! He hurt himself yesterday and I think he pulled a groin muscle. He kept insisting a freckle was an ant bite because he was hurting right under the freckle from the muscle. He said he felt good enough to go to the park, but after 20 minutes he comes over to me and says "Mama, I lost my run!!" So it turns out he's hurt himself enough that he's not able to run, which really seemed to annoy and perplex him. I guess things aren't as much fun if you can't run everywhere!

I guess the other big news in life is that I'm having another baby this summer. I'm due on Cyrus' birthday and he's very excited about getting a baby for his birthday. Of course, he's been planning his birthday wish list AND his birthday party since January. I've never seen such a thing before. Hopefully it will live up to expectations!

The other big thing is that my oldest daughter Kellie is turning 18 this month. It's hard for me to believe. I love her deeply. She's a beautiful, complicated, talented, kind, lovely girl...woman? Yikes! She's tough and I think she's awesome. I'm seriously blessed to have her in my life.

Maybe someday I'll get all five in the same room. You never know, it could happen!

I read your blog : ) We love having Crimson in young womens. She is so brave and always willing to share thoughts and comments. I think she is mature above her age. That's great that you get to stick around for a while. The branch will be greatly blessed for having you around.

अभिषेक एक साधारण सा लड़का है और वह संगणक तथा चित्रकला का ग्यान रखता है|वह बचपन से ही एक लड़की से बेइन्तहां प्रेम करता है जिसका नाम निधि है|
अभिषेक निधि से प्यार तो करता है लेकिन निधि उससे प्यार नहीं करती|
अभिषेक को प्रेम गलतफहमी की वजह से हो गई |लेकिन वह इस प्रेम को पाक मानकर किसी और लड़की से प्रेम न करने का फैसला कर लिया| स्थिति एसी हो गई कि वह किसी लड़की अथवा महिला को नजर उठाकर देखना भी गुनाह समझने लगा|
सीधे शब्दों में कहें तो वह निधि को अपनी पत्नी मान चुका है और शादी किसी अन्य महिला से न करने का वचन ले लिया|
निधि को इस बारे में पता है फिर भी वह उसे पसंद नहीं करती|
मेरी नजर में ये एकतरफा प्यार है लेकिन सच्चा|
कुछ उसे प्रेमी कहते हैं तो कुछ पागल लेकिन उसे अब इन बातों का कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता |
