My kids are gone. They are with their dad for the next two weeks. Nope, not happy about this, not happy at all. But I am going to stay positive. I am going to do the best I can to enjoy this time.
So, I decided (after one and a half days on the couch), that I needed a purpose for my alone times. I do have tasks in mind...things that I'd like to get done, but eh. I don't really care if I get the storage room clean. Yes, it needs to be done, but if I don't have some sort of structure, it won't get done! I know this about me.
After much consideration and praying, I decided to do something I've meant to do for awhile. I signed up to volunteer at the Lifeline pregnancy center. Since I was only 18 when I was pregnant with Jessy, I used their services (or something similar). I want to give back. I want to use this time of being alone to give back to those who helped me get started. Granted, I had it better than a lot of pregnant 18 year olds. I had graduated, and I had a boyfriend that wanted to marry me. Should I have married him? Well, that is a question for another day!!!
I start tomorrow morning at 9am. I now have a reason to get up in the morning...a reason to get out of bed. I'm going to make this time positive.
Because, that's what Jesus would do, right?
Till next time.

I'm proud of you.
