First off I will say I have "attempted" to make a new blog with a new name, I posted 2 updates under that new name but I am back to this one. It seems that I am computer dumb with regards to all things blogging and Google! Grrrr....So "Mommy to multiples plus one" is the name I will stick with. :) So with that I am sorry to all 12 of my followers-Haha! I am going to still focus this blog on my kids, my family, my life with 3 kiddos under 5 and the journey we go through on a daily basis, and finally just life in general! I will start with most recently my health scare that I had, my cancer scare/nightmare and it was probably the most scary time of my life. Not only for me but for my family, my children and everyone involved in my life! The prayers and kind thoughts were much appreciated, and helped so much, I cannot put into words how special each and every one of you is! After a few surgeries, and several medications I can safely say that I am without a cancer worry at this time. I do have pre-cancerous cells that I must get checked out every 3 months, Pet scans every 6 months for the next 3 years, and we will see what happens. I know there will be more procedures in my future but I am confident that with my faith in my God, that I will be just fine. It is amazing the outpouring of love you get when one is faced with anything remotely scary, but I am better for all of this and stronger. Life with children changes you, at first you go through the zero sleep stage of newborns, and feeding every few hours, not to mention healing regardless of what type of birth one has had, getting used to being a parent, being accountable for someone other than yourself! What an amazing feeling that is, a feeling that is once again scary and the land of the unknown BUT so very worth it. Then you get to a point where your kids sleep, are potty trained and you think you are "Home free"-Hey there hold those breaks!" Nope now comes a new set of life stuff you get to deal with, attitudes (Yes my little girls already have sassy natures-lord help me later on!) and the NOT LISTENING, they act as if you don't exist, at least lately my little ones have wanted nothing to do with me except for food, drinks, and going places, otherwise I was just a blip on their tiny radars. How quickly that all happens-you spend your adult life wishing/hoping for babies and it literally goes by in a blink. My dad told me the other day that you never are done "Being a parent" and how true that statement is, I will always be their mommy, I will always be their shoulder, I will always be there for them no matter what. Being a parent is the most difficult, and rewarding job I could ever dream of having! Being sick brought to light many things for me, that life is fragile, that despite problems you once had with a person can be forgiven, that your true friends will be by your side regardless of distance or anything. Life is really evolving in our lives, we are moving...The kids and I are headed to West Virginia at the end of July through the middle of October-then we will move to New Mexico and start anew. Again! I counted today and in the last 15 years, I have moved 9 times. This is going to be my ninth move, and each move brings new things and yet each move takes a small piece away from me if that makes any sense. I leave a piece of me at each location I meet friends, and leave friends, I have come to hate goodbye's. There are times where I don't want to say goodbye, yet just slip out quietly and send love and light to everyone. I will have to say goodbye in just a few short weeks to a job I have come to love, with people in my life I have come to love and I will miss so very much-not to mention my wonderful church home. That church-Shoreline really saved me, it helped bring me back to God, closer to God and to realize all the blessings I have. My Shoreline family will be my family for always that much I am sure of. I am excited for my brother in law and sister in law and my two beautiful nieces coming to visit mid-July for a few fun filled beach days. We are so excited! Then we will have our home packed up, shoved in storage and the kids and I will make the trek to West Virginia! I will close-life is a blessing.
Thanks to all the support I have from you all!
XOXO
Glad to hear the initial diagnosis was wrong! God is good, indeed!!!! Best wishes on your upcoming moves! I feel like I've become a gypsy with all my moves, and wonder how long we will stay where we at after the kids are out of the house, LOL!
