Life in General

As I was driving home tonight after dropping the girls off at their mother’s, I started thinking about life in general. For the most part I am happy with where I am at. 6 years ago, though, I would have not had such a cheery out look. So, I have come a long way in a short time.
I have a new part-time job which I love. I am working for one of the best architectural firms in town. My first week on the job, I found out that I have been given the largest job they have had up until now. So, either they have a lot of faith in me or it is a do or die task. I know I can do it because this is my passion besides my teaching. This is an awesome place to work as well.
That was the good part of my thoughts, then it hits me as it always does, that I don’t have the kids with me. Sadly, I feel lost without them. Even though the oldest drives me up a wall sometimes, I still love them with every fiber of my being. They are amazing kids for what they have gone through. I could never imagine what they have gone through and what they are going through. Yes, I lost my father and I miss him!!! I couldn’t imagine losing my dad to some other guy. I lost my father to cancer.
Okay, I have done enough whining for one night. I guess I just hate how unfair life can be. But on the bright side, I enjoyed my evening with them. It was Kenzie’s birthday. So, it was fun, especially since she ate a whole lobster all by herself.
