Sunday

Here I sit on a Sunday morning - dark and rainy - what a shocker.
Today is exciting b/c we are going to have a date. This afternoon, Rob and I are have a date to go to Lowes and dinner. Floor tiles and pasta. I am so excited and as I was in bed this morning thinking about this, I figured out that I honestly don't think Rob and I have had a date since we were in Saugatuk in July. I really don't think so. YIKES. That is really scary but true.

A friend of mine's mother in law passed away on Wednesday - suddenly. And when people live an active full life and are funny and laugh and full a room w/ joy, then "sudden" really means SUDDEN. I am still shocked just as a distant observer of the situation. It really is one of those 100 reminders we are all always given to be aware that at any time, any moment, even right now - something shocking can happen like this. This is a family who had a rock - a center - a light. And now they don't. So they will create a new rock but they will suffer and for that I am so sad for them all.

Life w/ Lil continues to be challenging. She is tough, She challenges my every fiber. I am definitely at the top of my game dealing w/ her....meaning, I can not improve. It is what it is. It is either good b/c i have dug deep enough to work through the moment of angst or it's not b/c I can't. The worst part is the feeling of being alone it. It's on me to figure this thing out. It's on me to "fix" this emotional behaviour stuff she has. She doesn't do it at school - so they can't help. So the "what am I going to do about this" can really stress a girl out. Well, at least this girl.

My real estate life continues to be full of a wide range of characters. All of which have little quirks that make them "special" to me. And by special, I mean.....

Cheers to a happy Sunday - good Bears game - a trip to Diddier Farms Pumpkin Patch and our date to Lowes.
