I swear I already did this - cap and gown, graduation. This time it was more low key. My oldest graduated from college. She graduated magma cum laude with a bachelor of science degree majoring in accounting. I am so proud of her. We witnessed the transformation over the last six months or so....the young girl turning into the mature business woman. She still has some way to go but she has plenty of time and many, many new experiences to learn from. There is no job lined up but I pray she doesn't have to wait too long.
The youngest will be working with her dad making a great hourly wage. Thank god the company still offers this over the summer for college students of the parents who work there. Things are looking good. Stresses are still there but my frame of mind is what makes the difference. I feel like my old self and things run off my back instead of becoming the monkey on the back that I carry around with them. I am able to deal and forget.
Relationships are VERY good. Of course there are tense moments but they are few and far between. I rarely give myself the time to ponder my love for two men and what it means. I just accept it and take one day at a time. It really is no use to get worked over it. I'm not capable of making a decision and as long as I can do what I do and no one suffers, I'm okay.
The new little addition is cute but a little devil in a rabbit suit. Oreo is quite enlightening until he eats my herbs I was growing on the window sill (I still don't know who was suppose to be watching him) and he has eaten quite a few pineapple plant leaves. The little devil. Yeah, his getting chubbier with that diet. We're getting better at protecting the things we know he will destroy and try to interest him in other activities.
More later...
