Get lost 2014

Wow.
To say I am shocked that people still read my stuff is an understatement.
Thank you for sticking with me after months and months of me standing you up....kinda sorta.

I am so effing happy that 2014 is almost over.  Next to losing my daddy in 2012, this year has completely sucked big fat hairy balls and can ride off into the sunset and be forgotten.
Just like jelly shoes....
....Milli Vanilli....
....and Rainbow Brite.

Dear 2014.
F U.
Love Me.

Despite the crappyness of the past 6 months, I have been told by many, many people that I seem more relaxed and happier than I ever have been.

I am.
Finally.

The truth is, I was living a life that I did not enjoy.  I tried my hardest to be the person I thought I should be.  I tried my hardest to make others happy.

But realized that I was not living the life I wanted.  I was not the person I wanted to be.  I was not happy.  It took a big fat punch to my gut for me to realize it, but, who cares now.  I realized it and acted on it because if I know anything after losing my daddy, it is that life is too fucking short to be unhappy.

*side note.  I did not get punched in the gut.  It just felt that way at the time.

Soooooooo........my plan for 2015?

To be me.
To find happiness.  I am already starting.
To live simply.
To love harder than I have ever loved before.  Myself and others.
To be a happy mom for my kids, even if it means saying no sometimes and teaching them that life isn't always rainbows and candy.
To get a job.  HA.

Amen  Hallelujah to new beginnings.

Fun

Fun. It's a wonderful thing.
I need to participate in more fun, because lately I feel like my life is anything but.
Cleaning. Cooking. Laundry. Grocery shopping. Chauffeuring.

That crap might be fun to some people, but not me.

A kid with a nagging cough that keeps everyone up all night. A dog that smells so bad, I put him out in the barn when we have people over.

Not fun.

But these pictures of my handsome, happy boys are.

My fun is experiencing their fun.
It makes my heart happy.

Joy.

Invite 14 friends.
Rent a trampoline place.
Order pizza.
Buy a cake.
Allow 14 kids to jump....and leap....and flip....and flop.
Before the pizza and cake of course.

Lots of smiles.
A million giggles.
Pure joy.



Watching my children experience joy makes me feel...um....joyful.
