Awesome!
Congrats to Dude!
Ya know, my son REALLY blossomed with his first job! It was great for him...great to see...
Our daughter...she had/has her moments.
It's fine to enjoy this positive moment.
Enjoy it. Relish in it.
However, your happiness is not dependent upon it.
This could be a moment to enjoy...a few moments...lots of moments!!!
Wise to take advantage of the smiles...no doubt.
But you are an individual and this is only one part of who you are.
in my humble opinion, us moms can put a lot of emphasis on things that are out of our control.
Then react and react badly when we are not happy with "stuff."
Again...enjoy these positive choices that Dude has made...
but should it change...chose to enjoy life "anyway."
Prayers and good thoughts for more good choice postings!
Star, that is the most thrilling thing I have read for a long time. You have been through so much and you deserve this good change of direction. Hope it lasts for ever!
I think it's FANTASTIC that your kiddo is working towards being grown up as well! I can't see a jinx on a working kid - so brag away!!!!! (but if there is? detach, detach, detach)
Star,
Congratulations to your dude...getting up at 5am yikes, and paying yall back, awesome. He really has come a long way. Doesn't it make you feel good to know ya must've done sumpin right long the way, smile.
It sure beats wondering if he fell out of the stupid tree and hit every single branch on the way down. (of course that family tree would be on his biodads side of the family) my family tree is more than likely a mighty oak with deep roots and lovely shade.
