An all-time favourite photo. Applicable, relevant, vintage, current, beautiful, sentimental, awesome.
Dren said to me today: "you know, you haven't scrapbooked in like forever". It home to me that he even realized it, let alone understands the benefits of scrapbooking to my life and recognizes the repercussions when i haven't had time to do it. He really is an amazing man.
I wanted to share THIS which I linked to from a twitter post (I LOVE twitter).
I have been going through quite a time during the last several months. The elephant in the room. MARITAL ISSUES. It's beyond complicated and I realize completely that it is a work in progress. A marriage is very very very hard work. I am happy to report today, Thursday, April 8, 2010 at 12:50am that I am hopeful. And that is a really good thing.
I am enjoying Jaxon more than ever. We are struggling through attitude stuff and discussions around bullying in school and learning to tie shoes for real because we spent $130 on them (size 7 MENS shoes and he's only 8 years old) and we had to buy those "good" shoes immediately after spending $475 on custom cast-molded orthotics and if he doesn't tie his shoe laces up properly (and untie them to take the shoes off) i am to perform a complicated series of knot-tying on the laces of the shoes so that it will take him 1/2 an hour to figure out anything before I have to step in from lack of patience and time and 'help'. Really? This is punishment to the child or parent? But, funnily enough, simply the threat of said punishment had been enough to get him to a) deal with his own shoelaces properly; or b) ask for help when he's in the biggest rush ever because all of his friends are simultaneously bounding out into the courtyard to play soccer or zombie tag or war.
So really, these days we both have shit, me and Jax. And we're working through it, a bit at a time.
