I have an amazing village of family and friends...that love me and love my kids.
I have a supportive, dedicated, involved, family-oriented husband who I truly love.
I have parents who I can honestly call my best friends and biggest advocates.
I have siblings who drop everything to care for my kids when the need arises.
I have friends new and old who give me so much love, support, and help.
I have job opportunities pop up every few years that keep me connected to my passion of working with families and students in educational settings.
And I have kids who I am totally in love with.
So, yes I am feeling the love.
And let's be real...I don't always feel like everything is going the right direction...who does? But when I step back and look at the big picture, when I look at what really matters in this huge complicated world...I always realize it is the health and happiness of those around me and myself. And I was feel so grateful.
My mom is home and beginning her long road towards recovery, my interview went well and they would be lucky to have me, and I have childcare, playdates, and meals lined up for the next week. Perhaps good news comes in 3's

A big week
It is Monday morning. The start of a big week. I am getting my intentions set, taking deep breaths, and ready to see it all unfold.
Most importantly it is likely that my mom will be released from the hospital after a very long and hard 2 weeks. Many nights were spent crying myself to sleep, waking all night with horrible nightmares, and my days were spent staring at my phone waiting for texts with more information. It will be a long road back to full recovery, but we are all so incredibly happy that my mom hung in there once again. We love you mom!
On Wednesday I am having an hour long phone interview for a new job. I am hopeful that they will hire me, my schedule can be more inline with the kids school schedule, and I can add more income to our family.
On Friday I have my umbilical hernia repair. I have lots of friends and family there to help with recovery process as I am not supposed to hold or carry anything over 20 pounds for 2 weeks. I am not allowed to nurse alex for 48 hours, which will be very challenging in itself. Not to mention three active kids who love to jump, wrestle, and be snuggled by there mom.
So...I hope your week is full of friends, family, and love. And I hope my week is full of good news for my mom, new possibilities for employment, and a easy surgery!
