Good day, and it was Monday!

I know those words don't normally go together: Monday and it being a good day. But it was!

I was working today with our newest girl. We just hired her, and today was the first day I had to sit down with her and go over things.

We had some time to talk about personal stuff. Turns out she has been through a terrible time as well. She seems like the sweetest person, too. And it makes me wonder why do the nice, good girls end up with the abusive men? Are we that vulnerable? Do we have a radar on us? It's just, interesting.

She was telling me about something that happened to her son. And how he was only 3 years old and told his mom, when he woke, that he saw the angels and saw God. And how God told him it wasn't time for him yet. So he came back to his mom.

She also told me about someone she knows who is a nurse at the Children's Hospital in the state. And how she has stories upon stories of children, sweet innocent children and how they were seeing the angels. And how the angels wanted these sick children to come with them and how they wanted to go with the angels. I sat there kind of in shock and now that I type it out and recount our conversation, I am teary eyed.

I cannot, in a millions years, understand how a person reacts to a small child talking about seeing the angels and then passing away.

I run into people day after day, who have a story to tell, just like me. Some are longer stories than mine. Its so interesting to listen to these stories and think 'I felt that too!' 'I said that too!'. 'I thought that too!'. 'He would do that too!'

I feel so blessed that these people come into my life. I feel like this new girl has come into my life to teach me many things. I learned a lot from her today. She got me to thinking about a lot of things. I could have sat and listened to her stories all day.

First week of January

I sit here thinking about what to write about, as I have David Hasselhoff's roast on tv in the background. Just setting the scene.

First week of January, done.

The highlight was taking the little man to the dentist. It was his first time and little man can be what we call 'difficult'. And that morning Maddie woke up with a fever, so I thought it was going to be a struggle, at best. To much of my surprise, he did SO well. He even let the dentist polish his teeth. We didn't get that far with Maddie.

Here he is

He is going to be 4 soon and it breaks my heart, ha. But I love how loving he is to me. He hugs, he kisses, he tells me he loves me. I want him to grow and be a good man. I want him to treat his wife the same way he treats me.

Then Friday Maddie was still sick so I stayed home with both kids as well, again. And to be honest, I really enjoyed it. Their dad has had them a lot on the weekends for the past 6 weekends so when I have had them, it was during the week. It was nice to spend time with them at home and not have to run out and really be anywhere.

I was supposed to have court on Friday. Ex is trying to take me back for lowering child support. This would have been a preliminary hearing, so nothing too in depth. But I was bouncing off the walls. Until I got the note from the lawyer court had been adjourned. I met with him on Tuesday and we talked about trying to settle this out of court. I don't plan on talking alot about said ex on this blog, because he isn't involved much in my plan B. But until this whole court thing is settled, this is part of my world.

I continue to feel the love from my family and friends. I still feel blessed to have people who care about me. Now only if I could lose the 70 poiunds I need to. ha.

Happy New Year!

Man, was I ready to have 2010 GONE.
It was a bad year. But then if I think about it, it was a great year all the same.

When I think back to a year ago, I am much happier. Much more confident. Much more myself. I learned how wonderful my family and true friends are. It has made for much closer relationships with them.

BUT this blog is not going to be about any of THAT (imagine my hand doing a swirling movement)

The name of the blog is after a calender my mom got me for Christmas. Life is how you handle Plan B. Plan A for me didn't go so well. So now I'm on to plan B.

I'm excited about Plan B.
