A blog that started out as a humorous tale of raising 6 children, then quickly became a chronicle of my grief at being suddenly widowed. Now it's the rest of my journey ... of living, laughing, crying, praying, rejoicing. Of being happy, sad, angry, content, sorrowful, alone, amazed and very, very blessed. And still taking life, one breath at a time ........

Nothing's easy
I think I used to take my "before" for granted. In fact, I know I took my "before" for granted. My life was wonderful. Of course we still had issues and still dealt with children and grades and things that were a pain in the neck, but it was wonderful. And I would've told you that "before" --- so maybe I didn't take it that much for granted. And I was spoiled -- no doubt about that. And things were easier. So, so much easier.
Not now.
My credit card company was supposed to transfer the account into my name. Instead, someone pushed the "delete" button. And didn't tell me. And now I've talked to 6 different people who tell me a different story. Hopefully someone will fix it soon.
My computer is still holding deep, much-needed secrets.
I know that I purchased trip insurance for the trip to Oklahoma next week, but now I have no proof. No saved e-mails, no account info, nothing. So now I get to call Continental and beg to try to use these tickets at another time because my mother-in-law is on life-support and won't be out of the woods for a long time.
Son #2 is threatening to never see or talk to me again when I send him off to school in August (at least that will cut down on the cost of air fare and the cell phone bill). And note that I said "when" and not "if".
And yet I have not seen him crack a book in well over 2 weeks.
And my sinuses are bothering me again --- I'm thinking that the antibiotics aren't doing a thing. And the dizziness is making more appearances. I don't think I could fly if I wanted to.
Oh, and Jovie still hates Colbie.
But, my sister is here. My girls are here --- and the boys are still in school this week.
So no, things are not easy. Not by a long shot.
But then, I was blessed to have "easy" for quite a while.
Perspective.
