Yesterday I had to drive to Lagrange Georgia to drop off my littles with their dad....For 2 grueling weeks....I wonder if this will ever get easier?! In trying to find the positives- I am EXTREMELY thankful that they are older- and able to contact me through cellphones, facetime, ect...I literally think I would curl up and die if I couldn't see their sweet faces in a 2 week time span..... Another thankful tidbit- that they LOVE their daddy and are always so excited to see him....And I know he loves them.. Maybe not quite like Momma- but nonetheless, he loves them..... I just can never rest easy until they are in my arms again.... Oh the life of a divorced mom.....I'm in awe of the number of acquaintances I have had in just the past few months approach me about relational problems/possible pending divorces....Wanting my advice and opinion... I am not shy about telling them to do WHATEVER you can to save your marriage- especially if your partner is willing as well....Divorce is hard. It sucks. It is the hardest thing I've ever suffered through. And it will never be over- because Reese and I will always deal with the aftermath of it.. From our children- and from our own wounds...Yes, wounds heal- but the scars will always be there....I believe a couple can work anything out if both parties are willing... In each of our cases- our partner wasn't willing.. So divorce- not chosen by us- happened... I think God is now blessing us with our relationship together and I honestly have never been happier... But its still hard...As with any relationship... I feel blending a family whose had divorce on both sides needs extra special attention- and with that- LOTS and LOTS of prayers.... So-back to my littles....... I'll wait for their return- unfortunately, NOT at the beach- the forecast is RAIN all week...... But I think I can handle reading in my hammock chair- over looking the nearby ocean.....
But let me be honest- its not as glamorous as it all seems....My washer has been broke for almost a week- the laundry of 6 people is quickly overtaking the house- so loads of lovely laundry will most definitely be on my agenda as well.....
My youngest soon to be stepson, Mason, is here as well- his big brother is away at camp for the week... So we may go explore some this week- and see what we can get into......I'm thankful that even though my kiddos are away, I'm able to keep busy and keep my mind occupied....There is never a dull moment.......
