(he is obsessed with these cap guns that he got for Christmas)
Jarom has taken a new intrest in doing "school work". He loves to work on things with me, like matching shapes, and counting, and coloring. His coloring has improved so much in the last little bit. Six months ago he would come home from nursery with an empty coloring page with one line through the middle of it. Now every part of his picture is colored, and he tells us all about it. I look forward each week to seeing what color mommy's hair will be. He also talks so well. I love the conversations that we have. It is amazing, the things that go through that mind of his!
(playing with Jarom... or should we call it taking over his dump truck?!)
Taysia runs everywhere now. She makes me laugh with her funny expressions. She also went crazy talking; these last two days she started saying, "want some", "no no", "amen", and "all done". I have a feeling that she will be a talker!!! Her other achievement is climbing! If she isn't playing with Jarom, she is on the table. I honestly think I take her down from that perch at least 15 times every day! She is such a pretty little thing, I can honestly say that I am scared to death for the day when she grows up and I have to worry about boys!
(So STINKIN' good looking!)
Thayne started school again January 5th. He was way more excited about the whole ordeal than I was. The week before, he would talk about the classes he was going to take, and how he was excited about this one, and dreading that one; I think the whole idea of him not working for six years helped him jump into the excitement of school and all that comes with it.
And then there was me; The entire week before (especially the end of that week) I was a moody, emotional mess (PMS was only part of it). Every time I thought about him going back to the books and everything, I would start crying again. The whole thoght of him being gone from 6:00 in the morning until 11:30 or 12:00 at night just wasn't all that exciting for me. I will admit that I am excited for him to continue school so that he can be done, but being a 'single mom' isn't exactly the funnest thing to anticipate.
You know what is funny though, the minute he started classes, I was ok. I think I worked myself up worrying, only to find out that really in the end I knew that this is where we need to be. This is what Thayne needs to be doing, and supporting him in school is what I need to be doing. Besides NEVER seeing him, it really isn't all that bad. I think he is stressed out, but I have a feeling that it will get better.
I know now more than ever that Heavenly Father looks out for us. He knows our needs, and provides. It seems like these times when I feel so alone, and so overwhelmed, that the realization of our Heavenly Father's love floods into my life, and somehow all my bad days don't seem so bad any more. He knows how much I can take, and he knows when I need reassurance. Sometimes I feel that I am living each day by faith, and yet it seems to be working. One thing I do know is that when I do everything that I can do, He makes up the rest. The peace I feel, the comfort I receive, the strength I am given, the understanding I find; it is all from Him, and I am thankful!

Comment one- you DO have a "stinking good looking" husband. lol. Good thing I don't know him. (just kidding!)
My husband just went back to school too, and he too, is excited about the prospect of not working! He is taking all his classes online which is AWESOME because he gets to stay home all the time! You should look into it.
