Happy Sunday Evening!
I just realized that I haven't posted since June....shame, shame, shame. I don't even think I've taken many photographs. So much for building up my portfolio.
I had a very long, boring summer but relaxing nonetheless. My youngest spent the bulk of her summer in California with my parents so I got some much needed me-time. I dropped her off this weekend to move in her dorm at college. She's feeling overwhelmed but I'm sure things will get better in the next week or so once she's in class and getting adjusted to her professors. I'm still in shock that I don't have any more babies. That seems really weird to me but I'm thankful to have seen both of my girls grow up. Each day is a gift and is not promised...so yes, for that, I am thankful.
I've been busy applying for full-time jobs now that she is out of high school but I realize, I'm homesick in a big way. I left California 8 years ago but now that just about everyone has moved out of this state, it seems weird. My oldest daughter is in Ohio. She's been there almost a year and I haven't been able to get to visit yet with my finances in shambles and trying to get my other daughter situated for school. Anyway, I'm not sure I will ever make it there, only because she's trying to move to California also in the coming months, which is making me even more homesick. My parents are there again, and with both of my daughters trying to get back there, as well as one of my sisters...I'm super homesick. My youngest sister just left (not by choice though) but does plan to move back when she gets the chance. I thought I might not want to go back but I do. This weather makes me nervous. I'm fine in summer, spring and fall but as soon as winter hits, I panic. Last winter's snow and ice didn't make things any better for me either. I was stressed out just watching the news on t.v. of all of the people stranded on the highway. It was totally unreal....unreal I tell ya! I work close to home and luckily, I work in one of the departments at the hospital that didn't have to be there during the bad weather. The nurses had to stay...were given sleeping arrangements and everything. There is no way I could have done that. No ma'am...no thank you.
Okay, I'm rambling..go figure. I guess I need to end this post and go fold my laundry and get things ready for work tomorrow.
I hope everyone has an awesome evening.
