Just add milk

I've always said that life is made up of defining moments. I know when I fell in love that it would change my life I watched each one of my children make wrong decisions that changed the course of their life, along with the right decisions that brought them back on track. I have hurt people and have been hurt by people and with that it changed our relationships. This last couple of weeks I have went through some defining moments that have been easy and have also been tough.  I have been frustrated at the choice that my husband made to be a network marketer full-time along with excited of some of his accomplishments. I have been able to ask my daughter for some advice about full-time networking because her husband has been a full timer and so is my other daughters husband so it's kind of a  family deal and I really didn't like the answers that I have gotten. I have always heard that you should not let other people define your mood or your feelings or your  emotions but in reality that is what always determines everything that I feel and everything I do and all the emotions that I have at this moment. I'm dealing with anger and frustration at a family member because of a decision that he felt he had to make and now it's up to me to decide whether this is a defining moment of me pulling away from him or forgiving but not trusting,  because there is a difference.

On a lighter note I was able to spend the weekend with my sweet daughter Jessica and we went to the corn maze for the first time which was fabulous and fun. Her,  Bronson and Brooklyn were able to spend the whole weekend with us and to wake up every morning with those three, was wonderful. We missed Tara and Joseph but they were sweet enough to go to his parents so that Jessica would have somewhere to sleep. We got lost in the maze trying to scare other people then in return scared ourselves. We took lots of pictures and just had a really fun bonding time I scratched off  three things off my bucket list, going to a corn maze,  going to burger bar and was able to get a hamburger as big as my head and I've always want wanted to go to drive-ins diners and dashes and burger bar is actually one of those so there was three that I conquered. But what was funny is sometimes as a mom especially with adults you don't think that you're needed as much as you used to be that you've already taught them everything that they needed to know and they're on their way to being great parents adults friends whatever their journey in life is.  But on Saturday morning we got up and everyone's kind of on a health kick/junk food kick at my house at all times and Jessica was saying how much she wanted to like oatmeal. She said she tried it but she just could not understand why everybody liked it ,so of course Samantha decided to make some.  She was putting it in a bowl she put sugar on it and then she put milk on it and Jessica was like what are you doing? Jessica never knew to put milk and sugar on it after it was made. No wonder she hates oatmeal that's like eating a cake half cooked. As we laughed I realized there is another thing that I got  to teacher even at her wise old age.  I can add to her knowledge which is, make sure you add milk. Oh and don't forget the sugar because we all know that sugar makes life better.
