National Pursuit of Happyness Week

Some one sent me this lovely website to energize my blog...it has a 14 month calender to help when you don't know what to blog about. I have to admit that I am often blog entry challenged...I average about three - five posts a month. And this calender is supposed to help. The first entry for this week is that its National Pursuit of Happiness week. This couldn't have come at a better time. Its past time I pursued my happiness. I have been unhappy for some time in my life and its time I put me first. I know people always say that you have to put yourself first in order to be a good mom etc. But I have been so bad about following that advice.But no more.
And my first step is a doozy. I asked my husband for a divorce. I have been telling him that I am unhappy. I have tried to get him to go to counseling, to talk to our church minister...but of course he wouldnt. He doesn't see anything wrong..he gets all he wants out the marriage. He has someone to take care of him. He doesn't feel need to work, help out with kids, help out around house, help with our disabled sons therapy. He can watch cable tv and hang out with his buddies. Generally act like he is 19 years old. His reply when I told him I wanted a divorce was fine..do what you want. Please pray for me and my family. This is going to be a time of great upheaval.

Its 2008

and what do I plan to do with it? Things have changed a lot since this time in 2007. I am working full time outside the home...and my babies didn't have to go to daycare. I am so happy for that. Jorrell started preschool and is out of formal OT & PT. I am SO SO happy for that. I remember when his neurologist told dh & I that he had a stroke before he was born and had some physical damage, all I could do is cry. Now I am crying tears of joy. My baby boy goes to school on school bus...he is beginning potty training, he talks so good, walks so good. I am well and truly BLESSED.

On that note I am deciding to be more productive with my time. The Lord has given me so many blessings and opportunities. It is up to me to maximize them.
