Let's see...
I went trick-or-treating with my niece on Halloween (just focus on the little adorable "pumpkin witch" in the picture). I took a personal day to spend time with my family who I had not seen in a couple months. Little did I know I would soon be spending a whole week with them.
I saw my sisters less than a week later as we packed to travel to Canada for my grandmamma's funeral. I am sad I was not able to see her before she passed, but I am relieved that my mother and uncle were able to stand by her side and hold her when she did. We were in Canada for a week, which was completely where I needed to be especially to support my mom. However, a week and 2 days is a heck of a long time for 3rd graders. They gave me flowers, cards, and pictures on my first day back today, not to mention several large hugs! It is overwhelming to think of the things I have missed and things I have to catch up on. I am trying to focus on one thing at a time so I don't go crazy...
On a happier note, I happen to have a new man in my life. For as much as I have cried over the past couple weeks, he has made me smile and laugh at any other possible moment. I am happier than I have been in a while and having fun in this blossoming relationship. :)
