Haven't been around much....but home today and feeling a bit grateful

1. Stimulus check came today and I splurged and bought the girls and myself a Sigg water bottle. I couldn't really think of anything else that I wanted to spend it on...except getting my bathtub tiled. Smiling
2. Life getting easier. After being in babydom for three years, the girls are now able to play with each other and today was the first day that they played in the upstairs playroom for a whole 30 minutes without me having to referree. I almost pinched myself. They are becoming such good friends and although it was crazy at first, I'm so glad I had them so close together.
3. My mum. She drives me crazy but she went on vacation last week and I realized how much I love and miss her when she is gone. I have to be better about accepting her for who she is her, good and bad.
4. I sent in my application for my Bachelor's Degree today and if all goes as planned, I will FINALLY be done next May. Long time coming and I can't help but be proud of myself. It will mean a lot to me to see my kids see me get my degree.
5. DH. He rocks my socks off. He is so supportive of me and I'm not sure what I'd do without him. We both work full time, I go to school two nights a week and at times, it feels like we are falling apart and fall into a rut. Then, we snap out of it, try harder, and grow to love each other more, for our good and bad faults. I don't hug, kiss, or appreciate him enough, I have to work on this. One of my goals, I guess.
6. And of course, HM. Life is so busy right now but it is so nice to have this place to come and shut off from my life. I appreciate all of your blogs and the fact that you share so much of yourselves in this space. You all make me a smarter, more compassionate, and patient individual. A million thanks for that.

Have a lovely weekend, mamas.

Awe, I loved reading this! Congratulations on the degree, too, mama. That is awesome. Smiling All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860)

You must live, not simply exist.
