Chaylie Morgan....

Well, today would have been Chaylie's 6th birthday already! An almost 1st grader!! WOW how time flies...

At times, I am glad she is not here to experience or see Mommy strugglin'... but of course my heart aches for her so deeply on some days, that it is beyond me. It's weird... there will be days that I don't think about her or miss her... yet, there are other days where she is constantly on my mind. Today, is one of those kind of days. I haven't cried or boo-hoo'd, just quiet. Reflective.

Mommy loves you Chaylie...and I miss you with ALL of my heart, soul, mind, and being... see you in Heaven...

Feeling the Blahs....of Life

Well, here I sit on May 15th... a Friday night... and what am I doing? Laundry and writing yet another paper... UUUGGGGHHHHH!!! I will be SOOOOOO glad when these programs, especially this class that I'm in right now is over and done with!!! I'm in Strategies for Competitive Advantage... WHAT THE ?&(#O(!!!! Talk about SNOOOOZVILLE!!! I had to go to my local school district office to gather some stats to write this paper and incorporate the info with a scenario that the prof wrote... AGAIN... WHAT THE &#*^!!!!

Ok... on to more pleasant things... I'll be walking in commencement July 11th and my parents surprised me by telling me they are flying out for the graduation ceremony!!! My younger brother and THE GANG are coming too!!! I'm soooo excited to have my whole family (minus the big brother) there and see where I live, friends and meet my adopted KY family that I have here... SO C'MOOOOOON JUUUUULY!!!! That's the thing that is keeping me going....

OH! I started a woman's Bible Study group on Monday nights and it's called a LifeGroup. I just started this past Monday, but I can tell that I'm really going to love this group. We share with one another, dig deeper from what the pastor was preaching about on Sunday, and build great friendships.... so I'm really looking forward to that...

I am taking several classes at the gym I belong to and am training for a 5k run at the end of September... it's doable and I'm looking forward to it. I will then move up to run a mini-marathon, then a full one... I'd like to complete the mini-marathon by my 40th birthday, which is Aug of next year, so this is a very doable goal for me....

Let's see...dating a man from Ghana! He is wonderful (so far, but I'm still holding my breath on this and enjoying the time that we share)... taking one day at a time to see what is revealed through time.... I'll keep you posted on this one - Shadrach Kotey is his name.

Fighting the blah's because I'm not working and tired of Carmen talking about the twins all the time. It's hard as Chaylie's birthday is Sunday - she would've been 6 years old already... can you believe it??? WOW... Kindergarten/1st grade already...how time flies.... Mother's Day is always hard and the following week is her birthday, so I get hit emotionally for 2 weeks in a row EVERY year... I just hope and pray that it will get easier as time passes... I pray....

Well, back to the paper I go... BLAH....
