Full of gratitude

Oh, what a difference a month can make!  Here we are in October already.  September flew by.

I am so grateful that my little munchkins are doing so well at school, overall.  There have been some bumps in the road, but basically we're on the right track!  I am also grateful for the smooth morning routine we have going on.  The boys wake up on their own, well rested at 7 am or earlier, and we are safely out the door by 8:15 am.  It just works.  The big key there is making lunches the night before, which I still need to get to tonight....

The program I am coordinating is going so well also.  I'm so happy to be able to make it fly!

My counselling sessions are going well too.  I would've never guessed that I would get in the groove so well with this counselor, and I'm so glad for her support.

I have an 'angel' in my life, truly a gift, who is my spiritual role model.  She has adopted my sons and I into her heart and holds us close.  I know she prays for us often, and she is so thoughtful.  I just love her to pieces!

I thank my adopted 'sister' for her help with getting disciple on track with my boys.  I would be so lost without her help!  She has set me up for a lot of parenting success, and I really needed that boost.  God bless her.

Next weekend is Thanksgiving already.  Unreal!!  I guess I'm getting my 'thankful list' ready early.  I'm also thankful that I'm in this program to help me find some direction with my career.  I thought maybe I didn't need any help, but I soooooo do.  I do so much better with someone there to guide me and hold my hand.  I'm getting lots of that.  That's a good thing.

The only thorn in the mix is the pathetic excuse for a father that my ex is being lately.  He is totally ignoring his children, just because his own life is falling apart and he's too proud to ask for help.  He goes through this cycle of falling apart and rebuilding over and over again, and it's painful for the boys to be cut out of his life unexpectedly, so completely.  It's affecting my oldest son the worst, and he's taking it out on the other boys in his class, unfortunately.  I am hoping to get him some help soon.

Life is busy, and life is good.  Keep those happy pills coming, they're working their magic!!
