Day 73 Ready for summer...

Day 72: Dancing for Joy

I am back on track, not sure how long it will last.  While I am happy to be caught up with work and blogging, your happy to dance outside in the warmer weather and sun shine.  I love to see you so carefree!

There is a bit of insanity in dancing that does everybody a great deal of good.  ~Edwin Denby

Oh I am behind, BIG surprise!

I am so far behind and have no idea which pic goes where any more...its been a crazy few weeks, we had the lock in, Jimmy had what feels like a million doctors apts and threw it all I've tried to keep life normal. 

 Kendall's basketball team went to championship but was not able to pull off a win, that Monday she started track & field and Tuesday was one of the most scariest days for K and mom, she was on total lock down for two hours after a man that was suspected to have shot a cop the night before was found to be in the area.  Autumn and I decorated our annual Easter tree and warmer weather has brought out the cruising in us and the animals in the high country!  I hope you can look back and realize I am trying, even if it isn't very organized. The most important thing is to capture this time with you as you grow and change! -Mom

Day 52| My Project 52 Lovelies Theme "Affection"

I couldn't decide which image I wanted to use this week for my Project 52, I knew I really want to show case my hubby and give the ladies in my new group a chance to know who I am.  I ended up picking this one, because my affections are a patch work as is my heart. Many of them didn't know me, or my story. This is what I shared...

I am a wife, been married to my soul mate for 17 years, I have a 11 year old middle spectrum functioning autistic daughter who really tests my heart and patients most days, and a 12.5 year old daughter who is more my best friend, but still knows I am mom. I am a sister to a 25 year old autistic brother and a daughter to a widow...even there alone my heart has been tested, torn, worn and put back together like this patch work heart, but its full of affections for each of these ppl, but this week I wanted to share my affections for a special man in my life, my husband. See back in October I got a call no wife wants to get, my husband was in a car accident, he was hit by a semi and was headed to the hospital. Since that day our lives have changed drastically and my patched up heart was breaking again...he suffered a traumatic brain injury and since that day we have had to relearn how to live, I now have two ppl in my home to care for not just one, with similar issues and challenges. There is not a day that has gone by since, that I have not thanked the man above my husband is still with me, but there have been times I've hit my knees and just cried. It has not been a easy life for my heart...but my affections are strong and will hold this patch work heart tell the end 

Day 51|Awesome Sauce

As you always tell me, I am just awesome like that...and you really where.  You didn't pull off a win, but my goodness I saw a real player out there today.  You where right up there with the three best players.  I was really proud of you, a basket, a couple assists and just a whole lot of playing like a really team mate!  It was amazing to watch how far you've come.  Next week we are on to pigtail in hopes to win a spot in Tournament.  The last time we played Severance it wasn't your best game, I really hope to see you shine this time.  I am so incredibly proud of how far you have come kiddo!

Day 50|My little lovey

As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.

Vincent Van Gogh

I should not be surprised you are outside with no shoes on, at least you have pants on today!  I wish so badly to know what goes on in your mind when you do the things you do, they bring with them their own little tune that you dance too.

Day 49| My Project 52 Lovelies Theme "Childhood"

"Some days I feel so blue, so dark, so inhuman, I have the need to hide behind that which I love and there I find the comfort of being me, of letting the tears I hide fall, because behind your love, I can find me." -Unknow

My sweet girl you have been struggling these last few weeks, I cringe to think you maybe finding yourself in womanhood soon and I am so not ready for the challenges that will bring us. You fight so hard to be just a normal little girl and now you must find your way in womanhood soon too. My heart breaks I can not anchor you to your childhood. So my love let the tears fall, for in our arms we will always love you and keep you as young as you'd like to be for as long as we can manage. -Mom
