I can't believe I forgot all about my blog! It's been soooo long since I've posted but today I've had a lot on my mind. I've been in a kind of funk since yesterday. My oldest teen is now 18 and getting ready to leave for college in Jacksonville this summer and my other will be 15 this summer. The two of them are giving a run for my money lately.That's several posts in and of themselves.
Since I last posted, I have become "obsessed" with NCIS. Absolutely love Mark Harmon! We even have the same birthday, September 2nd. Don't worry, I'm not one of those "stalker types" LOL.
The thing that I'm struggling the most with these days is the fact that one of my children has "come out". It's not that I am not accepting this news, but at times I have a hard time letting go of all the things I thought would happen in the future. Up to today I felt like I was handling it "ok". A couple of weeks ago some teachers at work were discussing how they knew one of their relatives kids were going to end up "coming out" and how the relative who was a born again Christian would react. They seemed to think the reaction would be comical. For some reason that has stuck with me and the wheels in my head won't stop turning. If they only knew what gut wrenching experience that can be and how hard it is to reconcile your hopes and dreams with a different reality-not a worse reality, just an unplanned one.
