One Year Ago Today

One day, a married women came across a flyer for an event. She told all her friends about it and RSVP'd to it on the website that the flyer advertised. Originally her husband planned to attend this event, but plans changed.

The event finally arrived, she and her friends headed to the initial spot. The man who was in charge for this event was there. She got a few words in with him and then off they both went in different directions, but little did they know - the same direction. At that time she was married, he had a girlfriend. They eventually became friends online, but never went further than that log in page.

Spring and Summer passed and heartache came on both ends. Her husband asked for a divorce and he had parted ways from his significant other. Stumbling across information about each other every time they spoke, lead up to a first date. That then lead to a few more dates before he kissed her. In her eyes, everything was great.

After a romantic trip and some warm cuddling she really knew she loved him, but felt it was to soon to tell him. She broke it off. She didn't understand why and how she could feel this way. Feel more than she ever has, even after being so hurt from her divorce. It was heartbreaking to have to tell him this, but thought it was best. The next morning, she woke up sad and full of regret. She wanted him back faster than she could say it. He didn't give second chances and that was that. A few days later, Thanksgiving came and even though it was originally planned that they would spend it together, plans changed. He was in one place and she was in another.

Fortunately, she couldn't stop thinking about him and they came together that night. Lots of words were spoken, short memories were embraced. He told her he loved her and she couldn't of felt more relieved to hear that only because the mess she caused was all because of just that - she had fallen in love with him too.

Thanksgiving passed and so did Christmas. New Years came and they tipped toed around Valentines day. Here they are on the day they met one year ago. A man who's plans were to leave this state and travel the world, a women who thought her future never saw another man in it. Their plans changed.

Shhh....Mommy is coming!

Sunday mornings in V's house are no ordinary mornings.

I heard giggling and Spongebob Square Pants blaring in the living room. I woke up with writing on my arms that looked like marker that my two year old must have drawn on me. I had 2 different socks on. Some of my hair was in a ponytail. I had Mickey Mouse, Curious George and spider man all in the same bed with me along with other stuffed animals!

I call out for my kids and I get no answer. So I get out of bed and now I hear "Shhh....mommy is coming!", I hear them in the bathroom. They are in the bath tub with every pillow and blanket in the house. They said it was a cloud....

THEN, on the kitchen floor is every toy my children own. They told me it was a dungeon for all the bad toys. That is why they built a cloud so they can fly away. THEN, I open the fridge to get water...there are barbies in my fridge. There are hot wheels in my fridge. THE REMOTES ARE IN THE FRIDGE!

How long have my kids been up?? I HAVE NO IDEA. They were sneaky enough to keep quiet!

SO THEN, I sit on the couch and my two year old screams into tears because she said I sat on Connor (imaginary friend). She was so sad, not even a hug could calm her down. Then my 7 year old says I killed him...thanks son.

3 hours spent cleaning up their mess, 1 hour spent trying to breathe, 1 hour spent making breakfast - which they demanded star shaped everything...ugh. Nap time flew past us, lunch time came but no one was hungry. Mommy had to eat the lunch (oink oink).

Exhaustion called me 5 hours ago and asked for their body back...

PHEW! Now its almost 9pm and now everything can suck it for I didn't get shit done today!
