it's been awhile...

well, the funeral was beautiful. they had a computer setup with a slideshow of pictures of auntie, along with her kids, etc., set to wonderful music. God it was heartwrenching, but comforting at the same time to see her the way i really remember her. the good days. i miss her free spirit, her very unique laugh.

regarding my marriage issues, they are still there to a degree. it seems like he is committed to working on our marriage. we'll see how it goes. it's interesting how there's this corner that you seem to get around when you just almost don't care anymore. for me, it's like this invisible shield goes up all around me - i just hit my breaking point of being hurt. i just don't seem to care anymore. my marriage is important to me, so i will forge ahead, but it will be hard with a heart that feels like it's turning to stone.

kids are great - my amazing girl got honor roll and my boy exceeded all expectations, according to his report card (he doesn't get real grades until next year). i was very proud of them both and said what a way to start the school year, gang!!!! they BOTH are the lights of my life.

friends. thank God for amazing friends. you know who you are, and i am blessed to have you as part of my life...thank you!!!

i think that's about it for now. i'm waiting for the husband to get home so we can drop off my friends car (she let me borrow it while my vehicle was in the shop getting the transmission repaired - what a true angel she is!!!)

goodnight room, and goodnight moon...
