Slow Down - Stay A Little Bit

Repost: March 12, 2017 previous blog Now, I look forward to the season of life I am in. Watching my boys becoming responsible young adults/adults. I love the relationship I have with them but I also miss the days they are little from time to time.

Life is definitely changing, always changing.  I love my new position at work.  I am finally getting used to the "normal" hours and I will be able to dedicate a couple of nights to my blogging again and reading my favorite bloggers/friends.

In the midst of it all, I have seriously became old ... my body aches so much any more.  I am seeing a doctor to assist with the pain.  The end of March and the beginning of April are my worst time of year.  This year I hope I am able to concentrate on the memories and love of my Dad and concentrate on Emily's baby shower for our new little soon grandchildren.



I think I am battling some Empty Nest feelings.  My boys are growing up and they reach out to me very little.  NoNo will be graduating in a year.  He is not ready one bit to be on his own but it is always a battle with him to do what he is supposed to do.  He is terrified and does not want the time to come either.  Doshie, I rarely talk to since he moved to Florida.  He is not good calling me or texting me.  He keeps in touch with his brother Eaterman and KamTron, Boof's boyfriend, and friends on PlayStation 2 games.  They all play and talk to one another.  KamTron keeps me updated with what is going on with Doshie.  Eaterman rarely chats with me.  He is busy with his friends and gaming too, he will show up once in awhile for Sunday dinner.  Matchu, I do talk more to him since he started working where I do.  I love being able to talk to him daily and see him again, but before he worked there he too did not keep in touch with me.  I will call or text them, they rarely answer.  Once in awhile I will get a "I love you too." back.  Why is that?  I think girls keep in touch better with their Mom's than boys do.  I miss my boys...

Thankful Thursday ~ Sierra Jo Dominguez

I have been making my plans to complete our yarden next year. Yes, that was a "y" in place of a "g".  I follow Sierra Jo Dominguez on Instagram. She is another person who saved me. I love following her. She is a beautiful soul. She has fake cooking shows, backyard gardening, home repair and remodeling, she shares her life, and her new passion for pottery. She is a Christian as well and just like Tia Bee Stokes, she is real and spreads positive message. Sierra shared how she was creating a yarden and she inspired me not only to increase my Butterfly Garden but rebuild the backyard to our yarden last Summer, I will later post about the beginning of the yarden. I am excited to see her yarden but it has been placed on hold because growing a pottery business takes a lot of time when she is also a Mama of seven children, two of then are toddlers. She is homes schooling the children.  Our kitten, Bella even loves Sierra Jo Dominguez.  This was her small box of Joy. I bough
