Reminding Myself I Have a Thousand Reasons to Smile

Posted in Family at 3:01 pm by lilbitgabby

When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile.

For starters, Lord Willing, this next fall, we will have seven babies in our little assembly! Babies under the age of two! How amazing is that…

 

The Weather Is Fitting… It’s a Gray Day

Well… Brandon has packed up his belongings. We’ll have dinner with him tonight, then he heads out for a new stage in his young life…

For the past few weeks, we’ve known this day was coming. It doesn’t matter. I’m not prepared for it. Is there any way to prepare yourself for this moment when your kids move thousands of miles away?

I’m not the only mom going through this today…

Chels flew out this morning. She’s probably already landed. AJ is headed the same direction… Brandon and AJ will travel together… in their own vehicles. But at least, they aren’t headed out on this long road trip alone.

It really is a gray day. Not only is it rainy and gray outside… I feel it all through my house today.

Poor Confused Girl

Hubby and I were somewhere on Martin Luther King Way.  We stopped into Wendy’s for a quick lunch of chili and a side salad. He ordered his salad and blue cheese dressing. No problem.

Me: I’ll have a side salad with ranch dressing

Cashier: Um. *totally confused look on her face* Let me tell you our salad dressings. We have blue cheese, Italian, and honey mustard, French dressing, and creamy ranch.

 

She was dead serious. It was too funny. Hubby and I laughed out loud.
