Luv
In my life there have been several "pet" names people have called me by. Some good...some not so good. This last week someone started calling me by my most favorite of all the "pet" names. LUV! Isn't that just the best thing anyone could call you...especially when you have some pretty strong feelings for that person? I think the name AND the person are pretty terrific!

Looking Back
I was just looking around and re-reading some of my earlier posts. Mostly in May 2010. Boy! How did I ever keep my chin up during those hard times? Things were really bad, but I seemed to be doing OK with keeping things light. Back in the day... I used to come up with fun and completely random things to write about. I guess I did have more time on my hands.
Now that I'm working I feel disconnected from the artistic side of me a little. The random thoughts now aren't about silly things anymore. I am happy though. That's what counts! I'm working, have a place that I can call "mine" (if you can call a rental home yours), I have a vehicle that works well and gets great gas mileage, and I get to spend some time with the kids now that I have after school help.
Sometimes I think it would be fun to be a stay at home mom again. Like when I actually let myself see how far behind I am with the house cleaning, laundry, and those kind of things. Or when I think of all the things I don't get to do like reading, playing my flute... But a huge part of me likes working. I have to admit I think I have missed it while I was home the last 10 years. I started feeling like a different person staying home. I like who I am while I'm working.
It could be because I'm on my own again since the divorce, but I think it is partly because I'm working. I feel more grown up. More in control. More me. I would love to work part-time I think. I could get the best of both worlds that way. However, I need the full-time income...so I work full-time.
I am happy with were my life is at this moment. Would I like a few things to be different? Of course! But for now, I'm content.
