... almost the end of the week!

Does the time go slower the closer it gets to Friday?!  I'm nearly certain it does, but I haven't been able to prove it yet.  Oh well.  So I have decided I am going to branch out and start trying new things, like new syles, new foods, new hobbies!  This year is going to be a good one for me!  I'd love to hear any suggestions any one has, you know, tangible ones that I would actually do haha!  Skydiving is on the list, though I'm guessing it'll keep getting pushed back to the bottom :-)

Last night, I bought a hat.  I'll have to get a picture out here, because it's not just a baseball hat or something, but one of those cute knit style ones that you see other women wearing and think "that is such a cute hat but i couldn't pull it off."  Well guess what, I can pull it off, and dag nabbit I did!  HEHE!  I bought the hat AND  I wore it to work today.  Not all day, just on the way in and on the way out, but I made myself leave it on until I got to my desk.  A few people saw it and said it was very cute. 

Sure, you're probably thinking "oh my gosh, it's just a hat" but it's something completely out of character for me. Put it on in the store and make a fool of myself laughing with friends?  Sure, I'd do that!  But actually buy it and wear it and enjoy wearing it?!  That's branching out people!  Baby steps here ;-) 

Alright, this is a short one because I have to go... it's 7:30 and my daughter is still up in the shower singing at the top of her lungs.... but I'll leave you with this parting question...if you could pick something new, something out of the ordinary for you that you've always wanted to do, but never felt like it was "you", what would it be?

    The hat WAS adorable! :) Good for you!

    1 thing ... Take a vacation/trip solo! Set to do this for my 40th birthday this year (think summer)!

    Heya, I still want to see pics of the hat...and if you decide you want another, let me know...I can stitch one up for you in about 30 mins. As far as doing something different....I would absolutely love to open a craft / sewing shop...but would need to live in a place where it's more in demand. Not gonna happen. LY sis!

    There are a few cities that I haven't been to yet ... San Francisco (being one of them). :)

...heartbreaking and heartwarming all at once

I was incredibly conflicted in my emotions last night and again this morning.  I love my daughter, she is my baby girl, and sometimes she is really good at reminding me she is no longer a baby.  She is getting so big and is discovering her independence.  That is the heartwarming part, it warms my heart and makes me so happy to see her full of such self confidence and assurance!  Those are two attributes I felt I lacked in my childhood years, to no fault of my own parents, but simply because I felt I lacked them.  Anyway, back to what she did... I go, as I've done since she was a baby, to go and tuck my kiddos into bed.  I start up the stairs and say "I'm coming to tuck kiddos in who are in bed and ready!" and usually I hear giggles or feet  rushing to beds.  This particular night, instead I hear "NOOOOOO!!!!  Wait!!!  I don't want anyone to go in my room" Now at this point, as you fellow parents reading this may have already guessed,...

...a great feeling!

I can truly say, if someone would have told me four years ago, I'd be where I am today, I would have laughed, and then probably cried.  It has been just over four years since my divorce finalized.  It was an array of mixed emotions the day everything was said and done.  I was excited, anxious, furious, thrilled, scared, nervous but most of all, it was just an overwhelming feeling of relief.  Four years ago, I officially became the full time single mom of my beautiful daughter, who was nearly three at the time, and my amazing son, who was almost one.  I had always felt like a single mom, even in my marriage, but now it was "for real".  Granted, my daughter was 12 days old when my ex-husband deployed for a year... so some would say technically I was a single mom during that first year of her life.  He came home and we made it six months before I knew he needed help and I needed to leave.  I wasn't even 2 months pregnant with my son when ...
