Right where I am supposed to be

Today had beautiful weather. We opened all the windows. Ryan finished up the front porch so the kids can just bound down the steps to get on the bus and not break anything. I watered the trees. The kids helped pick up the front yard so that it is looking pretty again.

I did have to take a nap. I have fibromyalgia, but as a friend has told me, I will not let that label me. It was just a tough morning. Yet here I sit at 10:58 pm writing my blog because I took a nap earlier today.

We also sealed the bedroom floor so that we can move our bed in there sometime soon. I don't want to share a room with the kids too much longer.

I spoke with my mom tonight and talked about paths and lessons. I was telling her how funny it was that I am right back where I started 7 years ago when I got out of the military yet I have grown. Seven years ago I drove into town with just Alexis and Cj plus a carload of junk. We stayed with my dad while Ryan and I were dating. Although difficult to date as single parents we worked on it for a bit. Since then we have moved around Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Florida. It has been quite the learning experience but I am sure that the plan was to go and grow, which we have both done.
