Challenges

So, a very good friend of mind called me yesterday to ask if I would do something for her that has rocked me to my core. She is a college professor and she asked me to some and speak to her class on how suicide has affected me and my family.

Pause...Deep Breath...

WOW! I thought, she totally OVERestimates my ability to not have a nervous breakdown in front of her class, can I really help this group of aspiring counselors learn something that can help them to someday help others? I called my husband, sister and best friend for advice and much needed guidance, of course they weren't much help, with the exception of my sister who said, You have to do it.

Really? You think I can? So after much debate I called my "friend" (just kidding, I LOVE Her to pieces) and told her yes. 29 Hours til then...lets see how many times I change my mind between now and then.

Wish me luck!

Labor Day

The week before LAbor Day came I was sick...I mean really sick so come Friday I was going no where. Mike decided to take the boys to Nana's for the weekend for some quality boy time in Palestine. While they were gone I did start to feel better and decided to tackle some projects around the house that I had been putting off (more on that later).

I realized that one day on my own is GREAT, two days is nice, but by day three I was more than ready for my boys to be home. Life is good!
