We move on Friday.
I am ready for the next chapter in our lives.
I am not ready to uproot my boys from the school they and I both love.
I am ready for warmer weather.
I am not ready to have to live in a hotel for the next three to four weeks.

I am so thankful to have my wonderful husband home with our family this year. Thankful for my beautiful children. Thankful for those who are serving overseas away from their families so that we can be thankful. And thankful for those who have tried to hurt me or bring me down, you have made me a stronger, better person.
Two days ago, my “best” friend invited me to go out with her and her neice for the neice’s 21st birthday.
I was super excited because I have hardly gotten to see my “best” friend lately and we move next week……….
This morning, my “best” friend called me and asked me if I would babysit her kids while she goes out with her neice.
WHAT THE FUCK????????
I thought I was going out with them?????????
Guess not. I guess that saying is true; You learn who your friends are.

Youngest just said to me, “You my favorite Mommy ever”.
I have an IQ score of 143, which means that I fall into the Highly Gifted range. I dont usually discuss my IQ. I dont think its anyone’s business.
Of course my mother knows my IQ; I was tested when I was seventeen.
I have never been to college. I only have a High School Diploma.
I hate that my mother keeps making comments about how I am wasting my intelligence.
I am living the life I have always wanted. From as early as I can remember, all I have ever wanted was to be a wife and mother.
Just because I have a relatively high IQ, why must I pursue a college career? Why arent I allowed to live my dream because I am intelligent? Isnt this my choice?
Thank goodness I have a husband who understands and accepts my decision. It is our life, our choice.
Here is the IQ Scale
Over 140 - Genius or near genius
120 - 140 - Very superior intelligence
110 - 119 - Superior intelligence
90 - 109 - Normal or average intelligence
80 - 89 - Dullness
70 - 79 - Borderline deficiency
Under 70 - Definite feeble-mindedness
High IQ’s are broken down as follows…
This morning I found a note on the table from Oldest. It was folded in half. On the outside it said “Unfold”. So I unfold it, read it, and get the biggest smile on my face and heart that you could ever imagine.
It read as follows: Dear Mommy, Will you make cupcakes for dessert tomorrow? P.S. I love you. From, Oldest (obviously there were a few misspelled words and it actually said his name!!)
That was a request that was gladly fulfilled!!!
I have a genetic disorder called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Along with that, I also have Hypermobility Syndrome and Chronic Pain Syndrome.
Basically, I hurt ALL THE TIME; and not just sore, achy… I am talking SEVERE pain. My life is filled with chronic pain, pain that never, ever goes away.
I could simply be walking and dislocate a hip; it happens on average about twice a week. I have dislocated my shoulder pulling Youngest’s shirt over his head. I have dislocated my wrist pulling a shoe off one of my children. Intimate times with Husband often lead to dislocations.
There is a little glimpse of what I live on a daily basis…..
You know you are a parent when you discuss bowel movements very seriously.
