It is Saturday morning on April 8, and I am going to start journalling via a blog. Wow, I am becoming a computer geek. This seems like a the way of the future, so I'm going to try it.
Luckily last night I got a good nights sleep. I took some tylenol pm to help me sleep. Since the surgery, I have not been sleeping well. I know it is the hormone imbalance, but I would like to figure this out with natural supplements if possible. I'll give it about 6 months on my own and if that doesn't work, I'll talk to the doctor again. Other than the sleep issue, I do feel a lot better and that surprises me. I didn't think I felt bad before, but I guess I just accepted how I felt.
Well Tyler graduates in about 6 weeks. Wow, no more kids in high school. No more grades to worry about, no more early morning detentions, no more required haircuts. I can't believe the time is near. Will I miss Tyler, you betcha. He has been such a joy to have around. Fun to talk to, fun to be with, he is a neat young man. Am I looking forward to the empty nest syndrome, yes in a way. I am looking forward doing things that I and Don want to do. I am looking forward to playing more golf, maybe going on a few short trips, probably to visit kids. I would like to go visit Debi in Houston on a weekend. To just have the freedom to do as I please. I loved having the children and all the pleasures they have brought. But now I will be 50 in about 7 months and the time has come for Becky. Will I reinvent myself? Probably not, I like who I am and what I do.
This is an exciting time for our family. Jeff is doing great living in Denver. He's got friends galore, a job he loves, a parrot, a ski pass, a mountain bike, and food on the table. What more would a 23 year old want. Mackenzie is in Prague, Czech Republic studying architecture, which is her love. She is traveling in Europe, studying art, taking fabulous pictures, meeting people from all over the world, enjoying new foods, seeing Greece, what more would a 21 year old Architecture student want. And Tyler, has been accepted into Americorps. He graduates in May from high school. He is managing the girls soccer team, finishing up high school, has great friends, has a date to the prom, has plans to go into the Americorps and travel the USA, works at a golf course and can play golf all he wants. What more would a 18 year old want.
Am I proud of my children? Ohmigosh, yes. With God's help, Don and I have raised 3 very wonderful, productive, funloving, brave and courageous individuals. The have sweet souls and are very compassionate. They have wonderful friends, which is a reflection of the people they are. I look at them and think about them and my body smiles, starting deep in my heart and moving up through my upturned grin to the twinkle in my eyes. I love them and I thank God for giving them to Don and I, to know and to love for the time they are on this earth.
Well that's all for now.
