I’ve posted before that when I don’f feel like talking much, it’s usually because my mood isn’t exactly the greatest. It’s not that my mood has been ‘bad’… just ‘off’. Not my usual ‘upbeat’ self.<\/p>\n

Yesterday marked 7 weeks since my husband left. I guess that means today marks FIFTY days.<\/p>\n

I fully understand it’s quite boring to read\/hear about our hopes and dreams and all of it taking so long<\/strong><\/em> to come to fruition. I fully understand some think we’re just plain old nuts, or even… stupid<\/del>\u00a0not very smart<\/em>, for\u00a0continuing\u00a0to even try to make these dreams a reality when it’s already been SO LONG<\/em>.
\nSo…<\/em>
\nOften I just choose to be quiet for a while rather then constantly repeating my whining process.<\/p>\n

But, the fact is, my husband has been gone for 7 weeks, and neither I, nor our children, have seen him in much too long a time<\/strong>. It may not be so bad if we actually had any inkling at all as to how long this is all going to take before we actually DO see him again, but we don’t know, we have no clue, so we simply wait, and wait, and hope, and… continue to wait.<\/p>\n

And waiting seems to have become my new hobby.<\/em><\/p>\n

So I’m trying to learn patience. Obviously something I haven’t mastered yet.<\/p>\n

I suppose it may have something to do with the fact that we’re celebrating our 21st wedding anniversary this week, and we’ll be celebrating apart. It was bad enough that we had to celebrate our eldest daughters 20th birthday last month, apart. Now an anniversary too?<\/p>\n

Ahhh…. life. Ain’t it grand some times?<\/p>\n

But then I remind myself, that it’s still life, and I am thankful for life<\/strong><\/em>, so I must stop thinking and feeling negatively, but some days that’s harder then others.<\/p>\n

I’ll try and keep my chin up though.<\/p>\n

I haven’t even shared about our ducklings on the blog yet! I’ll need to upload some photos soon but I’ve been so busy with trying to get all our custom orders finished and out the door (just in case we sell soon, you know, it could happen… I’d hate to have custom orders lingering over my head while packing…)<\/em> and trying to keep everything spotless for house showings, and driving kids to work. And of course keeping the younger three busy with school and non-mess-making activities (which is proving to be IMPOSSIBLE, you don’t want to see my dinningroom\/living room right now. It looks like a barbie bus and legoland exploded in there…)\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

But life goes on, and overall, life is good, and today, I’ll choose to dwell on that!<\/p>\n

And in the meantime, here’s a peek at BamBam & Pepples.<\/p>\n
