Your Lupines or YOUR LIFE. In A Bunch! In A Bunch!

Thank you Mighty, KML and GM. I appreciate the input.

K, I will pick up some Vitamin D. I know I never took it consistently for months or had my levels checked.

Mighty, if I take this position, we will have to meet up :-)

GM...I'm not sure if the winter will be much different as far as the SAD is concerned or not? It further north than we are. I already checked out indoor pools. Swimming seems to make a big difference for me.

I've been trying to get quiet and really hone in on what I'm after...what's my vision for myself and the girls. D11 is really struggling. I keep telling her that I don't know if this will work out or not and to calm it down...but, D20 is a grab-the-bull-by-horns type of girl. She needs a meeting.

We went on a nice hike yesterday.

And, after, we went to see my mom. It was strange. Mom called me crying on Friday night. She was upset because D20's bestie is moving out to go back to school. When I told her about the job offer, she broke down.

I tried to check on her all weekend and had a hard time getting a hold of her. I took over some food yesterday and she grilled us with questions and tried to turn the meeting into a therapy session. I resisted. I was quiet and contained within my world of whatever...when I left...I found myself...before I even drove out of the parking lot...searching for that place of peace that I had BEFORE I went to see mom.

I did notice that while I was talking about the job offer, mom shut me down and changed the subject. IDK.

I have a lot to deal with this week and I'm dreading it a bit. We have this One Direction concert coming up on the 17th in Detroit and I need to confirm arrangements with my dad about staying at his house. I haven't spoken to him and I will have to tackle the subject of D20's taking a semester off. I'm not looking forward to that...then, the questions about the college monies...ugh.

I've had a few phone calls from parents looking for tutoring this next year. I will need to respond to those.

I'm working, this morning, on my questions for this publisher.

Also, I want to look at the job boards again for journalism jobs and find a better group of clips to send out.

I bought some magazines yesterday and poster board for all three of us. I watched a sermon on the Vision by Paula White. I really like her. Anyway, I want D11, especially, to create an image of what she wants. I think this would help in the coming months. I want to do one for myself too.
