It's all about the Journey

by Just Jamie

Rated: 18+ · Book · Parenting · #1993809

A continuation of my original blog, "Surviving Motherhood".

Welcome to my world of middle school, high school, and motherhood. The life of a mom is never easy, especially as children grow, and especially when you have a special needs child.

Sad... I keep things here because I need the organization. That said, I put a poem on my blog today... first in one month.

As for readership. *sigh* My blog went over 100 thousand when I wasn't looking. But... no sense in trying to link at facebook because no one is interested in what I write and few are interested in me. My photos? Yes, they gets "likes" but not many comments. It's as if people have forgotten how to communicate the last ten years. If it isn't a meme or twitter they can't handle it.

Sad.

Do keep in touch on facebook and link to wherever you go.

I remember music competitions. You have a right to be proud.

So much fun! Life with children is challenging but you'll get thru this stage. ♥

You have kids... that means no time nor money...

I have a simpler life. I'd be exhausted trying to do yours!

I have two friends who had surgery to lose weight. It's a major deal but they both seem better off and healthier. Best all.

The 23rd is my sister's birthday... but I was so worn out I didn't call her until the 25th... my bad.

I think it's so cool that you're open to your kid having pink hair. My mom was really, really against it when I was growing up (I think I wanted blue hair). So I eased her into it: can I get natural highlights? Okay cool. In the space of a year or so I had burgundy hair with purple highlights. Those highlights weren't planned--either that was the result of the stylist's color, or he snuck something fun in for me.

Abbie wanted purple streaks in her hair -- done.

Jason wanted pink hair. The only complaint I had about that was the fact that he has very dark hair and so it would've required me to research or whatever and do more work (bleaching, etc), and I'm lazy.

As for the sizes--I know. Abbie is pretty much done growing and will likely be a shorty like me. Jason is 13 and 5'8" and having a "no shave summer." Joe is starting to grow again, which makes me happy. It's hard enough to be a short girl--being a short guy is no picnic. He'll be in the 7th grade too :)

Does seem like meds are out of whack... I'd say, ask about a water pill, but it sounds like you're on enough as it is. Thursday will come. ♥

My Pixie. I love everything about her. I wish I could be as outgoing and not care about what anyone thinks. I’d do so much more in my life. I’m glad that she loves things like that! I’ve never been to a dance in my life! She’s too adorable for words xo xo

Hugz.

I immediately thought of rehabilitating dogs... they are needy. But once one is attached... how do you give them up. Same with kids.

No real advice ... at lest you are in touch with your needs and can express them. That's a healthy sign.

One thing to consider is states like Georgia who have the Hope Scholarship that pays for most or all of college. You do have to be an instate resident for a certain amount of time though.

Something to look into when you're considering moving.

Dates of note (10y, 11m, 1d old)

A few things are coming up, two girl scout excursions, and then next month is chock full of things going on. I'm going to say that August will be our busiest month yet. Between Journey going to camp, and then us going to Minnesota, and then Journey's birthday, and then getting ready for school, there's lots to look forward to. Journey's 6th grade orientation is at night on August 30th. Ryan's 9th grade orientation is in the morning from 10 am to 12 pm on August 31st. School doesn't start until September 5th, but I'm glad to know that they're looking to get everything in and moving.

I'm curious to see what the kids schedules look like. I really hope and pray that Journey did NOT get Ryan's 6th grade math teacher. She would be HORRIBLE for her, and just wreck her self esteem. I don't need that for Journey. That's not conducive to learning for her. I'll look and see on HAC to see if any info on when the schedules come out is available.

Journey and I are really looking forward to our time in Minnesota. I was upset yesterday because I was leaving Ryan behind, but he swears he'll be okay. I certainly hope so. I don't want him to be lonely during the day because Journey and I aren't here. Don will be at work, so I hope that Ryan can keep himself occupied and okay for the time being. He also has Dixon.

Curious to see more about school time coming along. I know it's not going to do any good getting the info now, as they won't be going in until 42 days now. That seems such a long time away, but really, I think it will fly by, just as it always does. I'm going to enjoy having the kids here while I have them though.
