Hey Dorrie!

I just realized there was message here about my 'brooding' mood. I was feeling rather moody this week. I think a combination of being female and just feeling 'blah' about my in-laws. I'm also getting reconnected with my mom after the summer off/away from her. With my in-laws, my sister in-laws mainly, I just don't feel that 'connection.' Was feeling a bit sad, realizing more and more why my DH stayed away from his family for a while(before me.) Not they they are bad/terrible people or anything like that, au contraire, it's just we live on different wave-lengths and have differing views on the world. I guess before in my little polly-anna, naive view on the world, I thought we would somehow 'feel' like 'family' just by virtue of my being married to their brother. Yeah....that ain't happening Somewhere along this summer, I grew up in so many ways, on so many levels. Is that what sobriety brings? A newfound sense of maturity? So I guess I've been brooding over the 'what never was and what never will be's.

ON the brighter side of all this. I had always hoped that they'd teach me how to make their rices and empenadas. Well, all these years later, it just is not happening. So tonight, was my first attempt at the rice. It came out awesome! Later this week I'm going to try my hand at empenadas. I hope they come out just as well.

Well, I'm just checking in! Hope your weekend was well!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Thank you Gladys

Happy or (un-happy ) Monday!

I spent the weekend getting the two littles one's winter clothes together. Packed up all the outgrown size and have that washed folded and ready to go to familia. Hard to believe that the two little ones are wearing the same size I knew it would happen eventually since they are only 15months apart. My youngest is one very big kid! All my kids are big, but my Brett...he's going to be one very tall man! He was 34.5inches at his 18month check-up...and I know he's grown this summer, lol. Will find out in January

My weekend was well. Wasn't too thrilled with football yesterday, but what can you do?

Hope everyone is well this week
