Ok, I have felt like for almost the past year now I have had this black cloud following me where ever I go. I have felt like a gloomy, pessimistic bitch – angry at the world. As of today……NO MORE! Black cloud, be gone!

So, from now on…

Yes, I miss my mother-in-law. Yes, she was taken from us too soon. I know she watches out for us…

Yes, I miss my uncle Matt. He too was taken too soon. The Hill Picnic will be so different without him tomorrow, but I know he’ll be there in spirit.

Yes, it kills me to be so far away from my family…especially now that I have Punky.  But I need to be thankful for all the time we do see each other! I know people who goes YEARS without seeing their families! We do see each other quite a bit and we talk almost daily! 🙂

Yes, I miss being pregnant and I miss my little bean, BUT I will get pregnant again…..and life will and does go on!

Yes, summer is flying by……….and yes, I will have to return to work…..but that’s OK! It’s good for Punky to be back in daycare with all of his friends.

Yes, I am so happy for my sister. Her little guy is due in November….and I can’t wait to meet him! 🙂

Yes, I feel overwhelmed with all I want to get done around here, but there will ALWAYS be something to do, and you can’t EVER be done…….so baby steps….

So, off I go to pack up for my trip to Chicago for 10 days. I AM SO EXCITED TO BE WITH MY FAMILY! 🙂 So, Black cloud…..be gone! The old Melissa is BACK…..for good! AMEN!
